The trek Latter-day Saint pioneers made to Utah exemplifies the faith, courage, and determination of those truly devoted disciples of Jesus Christ. We certainly owe it to those pioneers to remember their stories, traditions, values, struggles, testimonies, and contributions.

If your baby had been born in the days before we had vaccines, they would have had a 1 in 5 chance of not making it to their 1st birthday

“We’ve swung from denying women opportunities to devaluing or penalizing them if they don’t organize their lives around professional attainment. Such a narrow view of women’s well-being has left many women dissatisfied.” My latest for Deseret News deseret.com/opinion/2025/0…

State of the mainstream media: Just found out essentially the entire West Coast is under tsunami advisory because of an Earthquake Just turned on every mainstream news outlet - and they're arguing about the president rather than getting us the news we need. Sad times we live in

In the Year of Our Lord 2025, the Sierra Club is still publishing articles opposing any NEPA reforms. These old-school environmental activist organizations have yet to accept the reality that being "pro-environment" requires supporting a much faster permitting process.

The hatred that's being directed against her in the quote tweets is despicable. The discourse about violence against US business leaders is really disturbing. Not a good sign about US political culture (which also has many other problems).

One of the most "evergreen" pieces I've ever written is a Deseret News perspective essay arguing that survey data repeatedly shows: most families want to prioritize parental caregiving/parental time with kids. Public policy should reflect that, but too often fails to do so. Though I

The Founding Fathers would be horrified to see Congress - the first branch - happily surrender all power over foreign policy, trade, spending cuts, and now executive confirmations. And cancel any vote that the president wants. What exactly do they do to justify a taxpayer salary?

I do not care if Congress and the president are of the same party. The founding fathers created separate branches with separate responsibilities to check each other and avoid a dictatorship. Not to be a partisan rubber stamp. Do your job or make room for others to do it.

I'm less fussy about what's in the canon than about the fact that we need a canon. When I visit even elite colleges now, it strikes me that the kids have fewer and fewer common references. They don't recognize bible quotes, don't recognize Shakespeare, don't recognize Dickens ...

In an article for Bloomberg, journalist Megan McArdle profiles Utah and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her piece offers a snapshot of the Church’s global humanitarian aid network in action. Excerpts from the article: I found that it's hard to even get a

This is one of the biggest misconceptions about the difference between the U.S. and Europe. Get sick in the U.S., you might go into debt. Get sick in parts of Europe, you might die waiting for care. I know which one I'd pick.

Still think about this every time I hear someone romanticizing the pre-industrial era

If you want to know what the Deep State is, you couldn’t ask for a better example than two Obama NSC members—neither of whom served in uniform—calling for military officers to disregard civilian control of the armed forces and disobey lawful direct orders.

I don’t care who you are, that is a freaking awesome flex.

Your kids don’t care if you’re rich or smart. They care if you’re there for them.

I will be honest: I do not find this very weird at all. theargumentmag.com/p/giving-peopl…

Trump is legally required to ban the app. SCOTUS even upheld the ban. …and instead the WH is using it. Come on, man

Sitting in the Saratoga Springs UT City Council meeting tonight where a new officer was sworn in. I found myself getting emotional watching this officer & his young family still, after the events earlier this week, take the oath. Grateful for those willing to step up to protect us.

Like honestly, I think this is really stupid. The political establishment fears him because of the damage he’ll do to the Democratic brand. The financial establishment (justifiably) fears him a little because of the stupid stuff he’ll do. But most of the crowd worries he’ll ruin
