The Heritage Foundation is now our government

Last edited Wed Jul 15, 2026, 10:35 AM - Edit history (1)

For all practical purposes.

And they apparently are going for full and total control to be announced Thursday in Trump's speech.

They are raining hell down on the people of America.

Perhaps the prosecution and dismantling of this too big for its britches businessman's coup plot wet dream should have been made a priority of the party that represents the 99%, that is, the non billionaires, a very long time ago?

I guess I'm kidding myself here

There was always a belief that a unknown group of the ultra wealthy and powerful actually controlled the governments of the world. It seems this being fulfilled.

In the persons of Mamdani, AOC, Ossoff, Talarico, and those like them, who have risen on the tides of voters and campaign workers who believe that something better is possible, refusing to accept the inevitability of miserable servitude.

And they did this despite the massive amounts of money spent to crush them

Heritage, Federalist, not to mention certain media companies have worked together to stage a coup from within. The attitude of "look forward, not back" needs to GO.
