@FiredUpCoug The PBS American Experience about him just re-aired in my area last week, and I rewatched it. It’s remarkable how much personal loyalty he inspired in others he was close to, and how much he exhibited to those who gave him a chance. People are complicated things.

@jkimballcook I can’t decide if it’s frustrating or pitiful (maybe it’s both) when people profoundly ignorant of history think they’ve come up with some “gotcha” retread criticism.

@mccuskeyforwv It would be terrible if something similar were happening in WV

@ByuSome If you don’t want to go, don’t go. There are plenty of us who actually get a lot out of those meetings.

@RGIII @Spencer_Linton @ConnorOnion @BYUfootball One of the best settings in sports.

I lost a close and very dear family member that day. I was within 300 yards of the Pentagon about 72 hours after the attack with other families, looking into the wreckage. That wreckage clearly included parts of AA Flight 77.

9/11 “trutherism” is about the only thing now at my age (48) that makes me violently angry. And I have no hesitation in characterizing those who promote it as wicked, spiritually sick, and in profound need of repentance.

@japan_nobunaga I was in that chapel yesterday in memory of my uncle, Commander Patrick Dunn, USN. Thank you for sharing this inspiring story out of the aftermath of that wickedness.

@MitchVingle This is one of those games where you wish both teams could lose.

@IslandPark2023 @IslandPark2023 can we DM? I’d like to ask you about this, and see if I might be able to get in touch with the organizers.

@jkimballcook I saw her at the Pentagon yesterday, she’s doing well.

@KStrobell @WardRadioShow It’s incontrovertible that this image was used to paint a portrait that hung in Emma’s bedroom for decades after his death. Why would she keep a painting of Hyrum in her bedroom?

@TJMeadows304 @DaveA70 People predisposed to dislike him will find any excuse to dump on him. As if life is just one long extension of high school.

There are far more important things to worry about than this, for goodness sake.

@ITalkOfChrist You can’t build Zion with that attitude

@BillKristol I really can’t believe I ever looked up to you.

@BmNerd26878 As a convert, I’ve always viewed the pioneers as my adoptive ancestors, and I love celebrating Pioneer Day.

That opening scene in Mountain of the Lord still gives me goosebumps 30+ years later.

@jkimballcook Or even, as separation of powers had yet to be formalized in the national government, also the first executive signing statement.

[Thomas J. O'Neill @WeLoveWV]

@jkimballcook It certainly outlines the principles upon which the legislative act was based, and perhaps therefore could be considered the first declaration (no pun intended) of legislative intent.
