Ted's warning: If Dems win they will stop Trump's war, lower Trump's gas prices, lower Trump's food prices, put a muzzle on Trump's ICE, stop Trump's ballroom, stop Trump from looting America, and stop Trump from protecting the Epstein Class.

Hmm, I think I can live with that.

@4Wade2021 @Opiej12 I recently went to a football game of one of my grandsons in Las Vegas. Cale was on the opposing team. He is the real deal. Best player on the field.

@LJRK0909 @BYUapologist You are correct that David French is an honorable man and a true conservative. He spent many years as a litigator fighting for conservative causes.

A quote that only lives in the footnotes of a talk.

Helping me to see the sacrament in a whole new light.

@JacobConover17 Good luck! I’ll be rooting for you.

@BYUapologist Low voter turnout for presidential primaries (28% in 2020) have given us the worst candidates possible from the two major parties 3 election cycles in a row. Giving the parties more control over who they pick as their candidate may very well have better results.

@PrestorJohn The definitive biography of Jefferson is Jefferson and his Time a six volume set by Dumas Malone.

Is this really the scope of “official acts” for which any sane person argues a president should have immunity?

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Justice Sotomayor: “If the president ... orders someone to assassinate [a rival], is that within his official acts for which he can get immunity?”

Trump’s attorney: “It would depend on the hypothetical, but we can see that could well be an official act.”

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

WOW.

History Dr. Timothy Snyder just completely debunked and embarrassed Marjorie Taylor Greene after she kept pushing the narrative of Nazis in Ukraine.

“On the question of Nazis, I’ve written two books as a historian about Nazis and the holocaust. On the question of Ukrainian nationalism, I am the leading scholar of that subject in North America. I’ve been writing about it for 20 years.

"If the chamber is interested in the degree of far right participation in Ukrainian politics, you can be assured that no far right party has every surpassed 3% in a Ukrainian election. So of course there are bad people in any country but by any comparative standard, it’s a very small phenomenon.

"In Russia, on the other hand, the army includes openly Nazi formations… The government, itself, is fascist in character, and is carrying out a war that includes the deportation of children by the 10s of thousands, the open intention of destroying a state, as well as mass torture.

"So if we’re looking for fascism, and if there is anyone who is sincerely concerned about halting fascism or racism, you’d look to halt Russia."

@BlackBlessedLDS I agree100%. Truth is never determined by popular vote. Nor can it be. The scriptures do not prophecy that the kingdom of God will be in the majority. In fact just the opposite.

Awesome video made by the Church.

Give it a watch.

@NMerrill14 @BlackBlessedLDS I do not view violating the Word of Wisdom as an immoral act. I view the Word of Wisdom as a covenant with the Lord for those that accept baptism.

[Rick Roskelley @cougarrick]

@NMerrill14 @BlackBlessedLDS Being bad for your health does not mean the act is malum per se. Natural law defines malum per se an innately immoral act, regardless of whether it is forbidden by law. Examples include adultery, theft, and murder.

@keeper_orchard We need to make Ken Burn’s documentary Country Music mandatory viewing.

[Rick Roskelley @cougarrick]

@jefe_tweets That is an uncharitable take and does nothing to tone down partisanship. I suggest you read the book first. I found it interesting. It covered Mitt’s life fairly and accurately. It is indeed admirable that he would agree to turn over thousands of pages of personal records

@brendaleti1987 Most go through a period of questioning faith. The way to know is to follow the teachings. Jesus taught for us to know the truth we must do His will. “If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God or whether I speak of it myself. John 7:17
