“A #republic, if you can keep it.”

Benjamin Franklin's foreboding response to Elizabeth Powel's question regarding the form of government of this new American nation was more than prescient.

The price of #liberty is indeed, eternal vigilance. #RepublicForAReason 🇺🇸🗽

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸

Here’s a quick reminder of what our Founders gave us: a Constitutional Republic, NOT a Democracy. If we can keep it…

He says he’s never felt so uncomfortable, even bringing up what happened at UVU last year.

“I did not enjoy the University of Utah.”

I hope you're paying attention to Brazil. They just ran the playbook that Democrats want to run here.

Alex and Alyssa Alhadeff were both 14 when they were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas.

Her mom @lorialhadeff could have stopped there. She didn’t. She built @MakeSchoolSafe8 and fought for a law with her daughter’s name on it.

Alyssa’s Law puts silent panic alarms in schools. A teacher presses a button and police know right away. No phone to find, unlock and explain while it’s happening.
Every minute matters in those first moments. We learned that the hardest way.

13 states have passed it, 3 this year. 37 still haven’t.

On Oct 1 I told superintendents on an @AASAHQ webinar with @CENTEGIX: you have a voice with state legislators. Use it.

Lori, thank you for never stopping!

For Alex. And for all of them.

💧 90 BILLION GALLONS OF WATER! That’s approximately how much water Lake Powell has gained with a 5-foot rise over the last few days!

One major October storm can make a HUGE difference. All that rain and runoff has given Lake Powell a significant boost, adding roughly 275,000 acre-feet of water.

But there’s another side to this story. The San Juan River is experiencing dangerous, potentially catastrophic flooding, with major impacts across southeastern Utah. That flooding is a serious threat to communities, roads and property.

At the same time, all that water moving through the San Juan River will continue flowing downstream toward Lake Powell, adding even more water to the reservoir as the runoff continues.

It’s a reminder of just how powerful these storms can be. We desperately need the water, but flooding like this comes with a devastating cost.

Lake Powell is still well below full pool, and we have a long way to go to recover from years of water shortages.

We’ll take every drop we can get, but first and foremost, we need everyone in the flooded areas to stay safe. 🙏

The average American worker with family coverage now pays $7,471 a year toward his health insurance premium, according to KFF’s 2026 Employer Health Benefits Survey, released last week.

That is nine percent more than a year ago. It is also the small part of the bill. The full family premium, most of it paid by employers, now averages $28,303.

Frédéric Bastiat held that the bad economist sees only what is seen, while the good one accounts for what is unseen. American health care may be his best illustration. The worker sees $7,471. He does not see the roughly $20,800 his employer pays on his behalf, money that would otherwise have reached his paycheck.

KFF has estimated that the full cost of a family premium now exceeds 40 percent of a typical salary. No family would shop for groceries by handing over a card and never glancing at the receipt. For medicine, nearly every family does. Then we wonder why the total keeps rising.

When @BarackObama signed the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, the average family premium was $13,770, with workers paying just under $4,000 of it. Both figures have since roughly doubled. Reaching back to 1999, when the family premium stood at $5,791, the increase approaches fivefold. From 1999 to today, consumer prices rose about 93 percent (mostly due to monetary inflation). Hospital services rose 281 percent.

The law’s central promise was cheaper premiums. Obama made it again and again:

My friends…Amendment B is a MUST. If we want Utah Citizens to determine Utah taxes VOTE YES. Out-of-State Leftist organizations have funneled over $500K into Utah to defeat this one Amendment. The same Leftist who hate Utah’s culture..HATE Amendment B…..VOTE YES 👍🏾

🚨 UPDATE: Kaylub Giamanco, the dad who killed the Bend, Oregon school shooter, gives credit to the unarmed TEACHER who fought the gunman with her BARE HANDS 👏🏻

"I want to recognize HER. SHE gave me the opportunity to make my shot without losing my life...That's a real TRUE hero, to not have a weapon and to put yourself in between your babies and a firearm."

This man is pure selfless. Give him a medal of freedom!

Police say she threw her PHONE at the 16-year-old gunman, then tackled him and fought for the gun. That gave Giamanco the shot he needed

When the gunman went for his weapon again, Giamanco fired two more times "to make sure that he couldn't move"

He saved countless lives, and he's still apologizing: "I want to apologize for not saving their babies." 💔

Man, this guy is a hero with a heart of gold. 🇺🇸

🚨 NEW: Kaylub Giamanco, the HERO father who TOOK OUT the Bend, Oregon elementary school shooter last week, tells the story for the first time

"I started hearing children PLEADING for their lives. And then I started hearing gunfire and I just started army crawling faster and faster. And I told myself, this is probably the last thing that I'm ever going to do."

"I have to go in. People are going to die."

"I crawled through the bottom window that was shot out and continued onto the rug inside where there's a little breezeway with stairs."

"And then the special needs classroom was to my left. At that point, I was on the ground on my hands and knees. I re-racked my weapon to make sure that a live round came so that I knew that I was ready to go."

"And then I peeked through the window. And at this point I found my opportunity. And I'd seen a teacher on the left struggling with the gunman on the right with the rifle."

"And I knew that they were on both sides of me, and I knew that he did not know that I was there. And so at that point I swung the door out and open and I stepped in and I fired."

This man deserves the Presidential Medal of FREEDOM! 🇺🇸
