    The plan proposes taking partisan control of the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Commerce, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), dismantling the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and sharply reducing environmental and climate change regulations to favor fossil fuel production. The blueprint seeks to institute tax cuts, though its writers disagree on the wisdom of protectionism. Project 2025 recommends abolishing the Department of Education, whose programs would be either transferred to other agencies, or terminated. Funding for climate research would be cut while the National Institutes of Health (NIH) would be reformed along conservative principles. The Project seeks to cut funding for Medicare and Medicaid, and urges the government to explicitly reject abortion as health care. The Project states that life begins at conception, and seeks to eliminate coverage of emergency contraception under the Affordable Care Act and enforce the Comstock Act to prosecute those who send and receive contraceptives and abortion pills nationwide. The Project seeks to infuse the government with elements of Christianity. It proposes criminalizing pornography, removing legal protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and terminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, as well as affirmative action by instead having the DOJ prosecute "anti-white racism." The Project recommends the arrest, detention, and deportation of undocumented immigrants living in the United States by using the military to capture and place them in internment camps. The Insurrection Act of 1807 would be used to allow the military to engage in domestic policing and assist capturing undocumented immigrants. It promotes capital punishment and the speedy "finality" of those sentences. ... Although the project cannot, by law, promote a specific presidential candidate, many contributors have close ties to Donald Trump and his 2024 presidential campaign. The Washington Post called the project "the most detailed articulation of what a second Trump term would look like." In April 2024, John McEntee stated that the Trump campaign and Project 2025 planned to "integrate a lot of our work" by summer.

    Jesse Schedeen of IGN gave it an 8.3 out of 10 saying, "Between the lackluster FCBD Special and Marvel's general track record with major crossovers, there's plenty of reason to worry about Civil War II. But the good news is that this prologue issue makes a strong case for the upcoming event. It clearly lays out the brewing conflict and makes a strong case for both viewpoints."

    His recurring campaigns run on unusual proposals, such as the erection of casinos and prisons on Mud Island; the infiltration of sharks into the Mississippi River and Memphis Harboras to prevent prisoner escapes; as well as weekly public hangings in Court Square that would each be scheduled to be hosted at specifically 3:33 PM.[4]

    A recurring campaign slogan was "Christmas Everyday".

    Always wondered what Santa Claus did the other 364 days of the year. Sounds like he was a politician in Louisiana or Mississippi!

    Elmer J. McCurdy (January 1, 1880 – October 7, 1911) was an American outlaw who was killed in a shoot-out with police after robbing a train in Oklahoma in October 1911. Dubbed "The Bandit Who Wouldn't Give Up", his mummified body was first put on display at an Oklahoma funeral home and then became a fixture on the traveling carnival and sideshow circuit during the 1920s through the 1960s. After changing ownership several times, McCurdy's remains eventually wound up at The Pike amusement zone in Long Beach, California, where they were discovered by crewmembers for the television series The Six Million Dollar Man and positively identified in December 1976.

    Boddy's campaign got off to a late start and, according to Wagner, was disorganized. He received an important endorsement from Los Angeles Mayor Fletcher Bowron, a Republican, and also got strong support from labor unions. His primary campaign plank was public ownership of hydroelectric plants across the state. He also supported a controversial proposal to limit land ownership in the Central Valley to 160 acres (0.65 km2). His primary weakness was the lack of solid programs to boost California's economy.

    Los Angeles Times political reporter Kyle Palmer wrote that "words flow" easily from Boddy, but his late start and lack of political credentials were handicaps to a successful campaign.[4]

    In May 1950, just weeks before the primary election, Boddy labeled Douglas the "Pink Lady" by implying that she was aligned with Communists and was part of a group of "red hots" trying to seize control of Democratic county committees in the state. Boddy and Douglas ran a bitter primary campaign, leaving Douglas, the Democratic victor, badly wounded in her race against the winner of the Republican primary, Congressman Richard Nixon.

    The 450-unit apartment complex opened in 1964, with 12 5-6 story mid-rise buildings originally known as "Bridge Plaza." Members from the Black Panther Party were among the first blacks to move into the apartments along with the New Orleans Saints players.

    The Bulldogs agreed to participate despite the fact that the SWAC still owed them money for their 1974 appearance.[14] The SWAC was criticized for not insisting that either school bring their marching bandand for accepting the "Sugar Bowl 1975" logo at midfield in the Louisiana Superdome instead of requesting that it be replaced with a reference to the Pelican Bowl or otherwise be concealed.[15] In addition, the SWAC also endured criticism for keeping 60% of the game proceeds while splitting only the remaining 40% between the two participating schools—and giving nothing to the MEAC (which was apparently not directly involved with the game).

    The song entered the news again in 2000 when it was mistakenly used during Hillary Clinton's announcement that she would be campaigning for U.S. Senate. According to an NPR report on worst campaign songs, a staffer notes that the playing of "Captain Jack" was a mistake. It was played from the Billy Joel compilation CD Greatest Hits Volume 1, and the song intended to be played was "New York State of Mind", which was track five on the CD.

    In light of her husband’s marital misadventures, they could have “accidentally” played “Honesty” instead.
