@gboatman12 I had a chance to visit it recently for the first time in decades (I had lived away from Utah for several years) & loved the Hunter, Hinckley & Monson displays. In my opinion, I want to see more DUP and less Smithsonian. But it’s all great.

[Doug DeVore @douglas_devore]

@TheBMax I agree. The atmosphere was great, too. All 5 of my kids attended—my oldest daughter & her husband rooting for the Utes, my second daughter & her husband rooting for BYU, & all three of my boys. Interestingly, it’s the 2nd top-10 game one of my sons has been at as a missionary!

@NateForUtah @NateForUtah, how good is he at working across the aisle with Democrats? He strikes me as more reasonable and more inclined & willing to do so.

@NateForUtah 💯 His mom was defeated by an unaffiliated candidate for the Davis County Commission.

@StallionCornell The Winston Churchill aphorism (though not quote—there’s no evidence he ever actually said it) is appropriate this morning:

“Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted.”

@RobertGehrke What house races are you watching?

[Doug DeVore @douglas_devore]

@TheBMax You’ve got a good wife

@NateForUtah Utah attendees or graduates: George Albert Smith (when it was still University of Deseret), McKay, Hinckley, Monson, Nelson

BYU attendees or graduates: Benson, Monson (MBA), Oaks

Utah is, and remains, the school of the prophets!

@TheBMax @Capneo1 Completely agree. It boggles my mind that there isn’t 1) an age limit for refs, 2) a uniform license created by some governing body, and 3) a requirement that these refs be professional refs. There’s just too much money at stake for these decisions to be last to chance.

This is my sister. She's graceful, talented, and unpretentious. I am proud to be her brother.

So many of our limitations are self-imposed - yes, they exist, but the boundaries of possibility have far more slack in the line than you might believe.

@MacFarlaneNews You’re following this, right @DavidAFrench and @whignewtons?

Incredible.

One year ago, a man drove his car into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, set fire to it, and started shooting. People were shielding children. Four people were killed and several were injured.

This is never easy for any community, and I remember the feeling on the ground, and how raw Michiganders felt. But I'm glad the community is working to turn the page and the church is now rebuilding its space.

Today, we remember the lives lost and all the first responders and volunteers who responded immediately to help those in need.

We have an epidemic in this country as there continue to be threats and deadly attacks targeting churches and other houses of worship across America. People should be able to worship without fear of being attacked.

@TheBMax You’re a better man than me, @TheBMax. He very nearly was my representative. It’s bad enough that we live in the same city.

This whole post is ignorant. The White House tv pool was created because many rooms in the White House, e.g. the Oval Office, are too small to accommodate all the tv outlets who may want to cover a presidential event. The same is true for Air Force One and presidential motorcades. So one network covers for all on a rotating basis. To be a part of it, an organization must have present every day a full broadcast crew, a producer or reporter and the equipment and personnel needed to record and distribute the video shot by the pool crew. At the moment, only a handful of outlets qualify. Back when ABC, CBS and NBC were dominant, they tried to keep CNN out of the pool. But CNN had the equipment and personnel to do the pool job and were admitted by court order. "Anyone with a camera," as this writer says would not qualify. And he suggests the White House could cover these events. Then it would be "official" for sure. Would he really like that better?

[Gregg Nunziata @greggnunziata]

Not every religion is led by a former SCOTUS clerk and state supreme court justice, but @LDSchurch is.

All of us non-LDS Americans should be grateful for the forceful advocacy of @OaksDallinH in support of the rule of law, the Constitution, and American democracy.

These secular concepts allow for the robust practice of faith. And so many people of faith strengthen those secular concepts.

@stephenfhayes @JoshKraushaar I agree 100 percent! And @stephenfhayes, if this isn’t a Not Worth Your Time (actually, *Definitely* Worth Your Time) topic, I’ll have to seriously reconsider my loyalty and affection for @thedispatch podcast!
