“Happy and forever are not the imaginary stuff of fairy tales. True enduring joy and eternity with those we love are the very essence of God’s plan of happiness.” @GerritWGong | #GeneralConference

I can’t stop watching this six second video of Ketanji Brown Jackson moments after her history-making confirmation to the US Supreme Court

Language matters when we talk about ourselves. Everyone falls, but what's important is picking yourself back up. And if you're in the right place, others will be there to lend a hand.

You're Not Failing

Replying to @BMeiselas @kurteichenwald
There's a M*A*S*H episode where an injured pilot believes he's Jesus. Frank complains to Col. Potter that Hawkeye and BJ won't turn him in because they're always "looking to help the underdog." Potter replies incredulously, "You think Jesus Christ is an UNDERDOG?!"

Trump’s campaign manager is a felon. His deputy campaign manager is a felon. His national security advisor is a felon. His foreign policy advisor is a felon. His personal lawyer is a felon. His long time advisor is a felon. It’s not a campaign, it’s a criminal enterprise.

To any who may be struggling to see that light and find that hope, I say: Hold on. Keep trying. God loves you. Things will improve. Even if you cannot always see that silver lining on your clouds, God can, for He is the very source of the light you seek.

I read comments on the Black Lives Matter posts by the Utah Jazz, BYU Football and Donovan Mitchell's Juneteenth Instagram post. I felt the need to say something about it last night on @kslsports @KSL5TV

A remarkable documentary by my WashPost colleagues reconstructing what happened at Lafayette Square minute by minute, using video footage, police scanner recordings and other reporting. It reveals the degree of deception by authorities --> washingtonpost.com/investiga…

The crackdown before Trump’s photo op: How law enforcement cleared protesters outside the White...

The Washington Post reconstructed who did what to clear protestors from the streets outside the White House on June 1. Watch how it unfolded.

Remember, you heard it here first: This stunt just lost him Utah. Mormons take their religion and their scriptures seriously. This phony attempt at piety is repulsive, even to genuinely religious folk #utpol

George Will: “There is no such thing as rock bottom for Trump. Assume the worst is yet to come.” The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Opinion | Trump must be removed. So must his congressional enablers.

With Trump, there is no such thing as rock bottom. So, assume the worst is yet to come.

The President is a clear, imminent danger to our way of life. We have never been closer to a dictatorship. He has to go.

Never thought I would see the day when a POTUS deliberately incites more violence instead of more calm. Incredibly dangerous. @CNN

Please take a minute to read this short piece by ⁦@anneapplebaum⁩ and watch the video. In short, the President of the United States is an imbecile. Our country is in decline because of it and the world is moving on theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

Did y'all know I'm not a Trump fan? I try to keep it on the DL but @GHughesUtah says Trump lives rent free in my head. So it's saying something that I learned some new, disturbing information about Dear Leader in this column. Wehner is no liberal. His comments are worth the read.

"Donald Trump is asking us to enter even further into his house of mirrors. He is asking us to live within a lie, to live within his lie, for four more years. The duty of citizenship in America today is to refuse to live within that lie." theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

The President Is Unraveling

The country is witnessing the steady, uninterrupted intellectual and psychological decomposition of Donald Trump.

Today’s word is #Awe. I am simply in awe of everything around me now. Teachers and staff continue to be concerned about kids above all else. “What do they need?”, “what if I try...?”, etc. And they continue to worry about one another. They are inspiring. Amazing. Wonderful. #Awe

Remember when they said we need state tests & report cards because otherwise teachers & principals would slack off? Well, testing & state report cards are canceled and all I see are teachers & principals working harder than ever before. Let’s trust our professionals.
