The article (above) begins as follows:Among its many sweeping calls for change in American government, a conservative platform document known as Project 2025 urges the demolition of some of the nation’s most dependable resources for tracking weather, combating climate change and protecting the public from environmental hazards.
“Break up NOAA,” the document says, referring to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and its six main offices, including the 154-year-old National Weather Service.
“Together, these form a colossal operation that has become one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry and, as such, is harmful to future U.S. prosperity,” the document says.
Buried in the LA Times article is this tidbit of relevant information:
The section of Project 2025 pertaining to NOAA was authored by Thomas Gilman, who served as assistant secretary of commerce and chief financial officer of the U.S. Department of Commerce during Donald Trump’s presidential administration.
Prior to that appointment, Gilman was chief executive of Chrysler Financial and spent more than four decades in the global automotive industry, a sector closely tied to oil and gas interests. Gilman is currently director of ACLJ Action, an advocacy organization “dedicated to liberty, constitutional government and religious freedom,” according to its website. He is also chairman of Torngat Metals, a rare earth development company.
The Heritage Foundation did not respond to a request to speak with Gilman for this article.
The article lays out the importance of these two federal agencies which I think most readers here already know.
What is interesting to me is that this portion of Project 2025 has little to do with turning the country into a totalitarian authoriatian state. It is based on denial of Climate Change and how saying it is a myth benefits the fossil fuel industry.
Here's the website of The National Weather Service:
Here's the NOAA website:
So let's eliminate these agencies. What could go wrong?

Because Trump is now an ordinary citizen in the controversial ceremony at Arlington there’s one question that I haven’t seen asked. Trump was escorted by two members of the 101st Airborne. A military bugler was also part of the ceremony. Federal law prohibits Army employees from being involved with any political campaign. There’s a procedure […]

You may have read about Trump’s latest narcisstic self-agrandizing delusional grift. It is, of course, his selling more ridiclous so-called “digital trading cards.” Yesterday, just for fun, I used the free Photo AI from Perchance to make the images shown above with the request to show Trump as Humpty Dumpty.
This morning this was the top story on HUFFPOST:

Or as Elizabeth Warren said at the DNC about Trump and Vance, “shoot, I wouldn’t let these guys, I wouldn’t trust them to move my couch.” If Trump could be honest he’d say it about himself.
This brings me to the subject of Trump’s character.
