Sierra College Survey on The Department of “Not Much” Education
About every Tuesday, I and a couple of other well-meaning but perhaps overly hopeful volunteers set out for Sierra College to inquire after the opinions of the young scholars regarding democracy—a subject that is often debated these days, but it appears to me to be rarely practiced. Now, the school gives us a permit because of we also register voters.
“Trumping” The Environment
People of sound reason and an appreciation for the future would expect an administration to possess at least the barest modicum of respect for the land on which it governs.
Human Dignity, Courtesy, and Respect
One useful way to show human dignity, courtesy, and respect to each other is to first accept that all of us have a human right to find self-empowerment.

Vox estimates that two-thirds of the authors and editors of Project 2025 served in the Trump administration. Kevin Roberts has said the organization’s current role is “Institutionalizing Trumpism.” More than half of the project’s organization has received dark money tied to Leonard Leo, a key figure in guiding the selection of Trump’s federal judicial nominees.
How does it differ from what the Democrats are proposing? Here are some significant highlights:
