“There’s some truth to this one-sided narrative, but it’s ultimately an incomplete story and ignores other important factors contributing to America’s dating crisis,” Kimball Call writes.

Even though @glennbeck graciously interviewed Nick Fuentes, I wasn't impressed. Young conservative Latter-day Saints, such as @nickshirleyy, @Joshua_the_car, @KimballCall, @KaiSchwemmer and @LukeFHan, are much more interesting and thoughtful.

[Lew Ferrin @Lew541207]

@BlackBlessedLDS I'm Nick Fuentes "agnostic" or "neutral." Anti-LDS conservative pundits are a dollar a dozen. I'm much more interested in the opinions of @Joshua_the_car, @KimballCall, @KaiSchwemmer and @LukeFHan as young Latter-day Saint conservatives. They're our actual future.

Religious men are almost 2x as likely to be very happy, according to Harvard's Global Flourishing Study -- here, evangelical and LDS men lead out!

[Brad Wilcox @BradWilcoxIFS]

Religious women are almost twice as likely to be happy - especially Baptist women. 👇🏽

@robynngarfield Bro how do you hit the algorithm like this so well?

Utah Democrats are convinced the midterms make Sen. Mike Lee vulnerable in 2028.

The case goes like this: Utah Democrats almost won a majority of U.S. House popular vote in 2026. By 2028, Trump will be even less popular. With the right Talarico-esque candidate, Utah could be competitive.

Utah Democrats' "blutah" optimism earns little more than a scoff from Lee’s camp.

"Good luck with that,” Dan Hauser, chief political strategist to Lee, told my colleague, @cami_mondeaux. "If Dems want to light millions of dollars on fire in search of fools gold, have at it."

Big donors and a national spotlight on Utah does not change the fact that the Democratic-backed, well-known and well-funded independent Evan McMullin still lost to Lee by double digits in 2022.

Is a purple Utah political fantasy or impending political fact? Read my full story below.

Dave Chappell, a member of a leftist group advocating for the assassination of the President, the murder of children, & the forcible reeducation of conservatives, won his statehouse race in Provo

But in today’s atomized, digitally distracted age, parents are coming out ahead on happiness: 83% of parents ages 22–45 say they’re happy, versus 73% of non-parents.

Now, parents are *more likely to be happy*.

Here’s the GSS trend:

@flintdm What are you talking about?

[Kimball Call @KimballCall]

Political pluralism is good and all ...

... but when it comes to protecting lives of the unborn, we should certainly use the levers of power to enforce one set of values on the whole country, just as we did with slavery abolition and civil rights.

To not do so is immoral.

[Kimball Call @KimballCall]

@LibertarianLDS Why?

[Kimball Call @KimballCall]

@deseretnoise I have many reasons

[Kimball Call @KimballCall]

@dcoxpolls C'mon guys. Never blackpill.

[Kimball Call @KimballCall]

@CarterSkeel @pewresearch Well put. It's tough for many older folks to admit this, these days. Many reached out to me after I wrote a Deseret News article about it, but when you tell young people this they immediately get it.

[Carter Skeel @CarterSkeel]

Since men are piling on the below, let's be fair and call balls and strikes here: Declining interest in marriage is driven by women, per @pewresearch.

The whole "women can't fail, only be failed" thing is neither true nor helpful. But it's much easier to just bash men.

[Carter Skeel @CarterSkeel]

Feels like a good day to remind everyone that we need more wifeguys

[Kimball Call @KimballCall]

It's not just about affordability. It's also about values.

The culture war matters.

[Kimball Call @KimballCall]

@SnazzyLabs Free healthcare is not free.

I'm fine with maternity leave and lowering cost of living through free markets.

[Kimball Call @KimballCall]

Fertility is destiny. Mass immigration to compensate for declining birth rates is not an option.

We can’t sacrifice American culture on the altar of economic growth.

We need to get serious about incentives and policies that will help America get back to baby-making.
