We’re all a little peculiar. Mostly it’s a good thing. Me? I’m a native of Utah but have lived elsewhere and travel extensively. I’d be a benevolent dictator.
A reminder from Bob Dillion to all Republicans in the House of Representatives regarding the 2026 elections:

“You don’t need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.”

Should I donate $500 to the local food bank or to the Democratic National Committee?

@nateforutah.bsky.social The Salt Lake Tribune indic you may run for a seat in the U.S. House of Reprepresentatives in November. Based on the voting map that was approved yesterday, which district do you live in?

President Trump is under the impression Portland is on fire largely because Fox News recently dramatized their reporting by using footage from riots there in 2020 that ensued the death of George Floyd.

Watch out Nashville!

Nexstar elected not to broadcast the Jimmy Kimmel Show when it resumes tonight. If you object, please contact your congressional representatives and object to Nexstar’s proposed $6.2 billion merger with Tenga because it’s all about the money.

ICE is spending $2.4 million for tricked out vehicles that will be used to suppress the citizens of Washington D.C. That’s in addition to the estimated $1,000,000 per day the federal government is spending for armed National Guard troops.

Imagine the benefits of spending half those amounts wisely
ICE aims to spend millions on decked-out vehicles for D.C. operation
Documents show the agency is seeking to purchase two dozen SUVs, along with gold-detailed custom wraps.

The Mormon church has a division that invests in stocks. The aggregate value of their portfolio is $58.4 BILLION. Something to remember when it comes time to tithe.

Sophie Jade is a talented illustrator who lives in a small northern Utah town. Perhaps one of the many talented writers in this group would like to collaborate with her.

AP reports the national debt just reached a record $37 trillion. The art of the deal.

Yesterday, JD Vance was scheduled to attend an event in the Cotswolds where he is vacationing. A musician who was booked to entertain abruptly cancelled when she learned Vance was the guest of honor. A second group of performers who were subsequently booked as substitutes also cancelled. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Hitler promised German wouldn’t expand its territory further if British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain convinced Czechoslovakia to cede the Sudetenland. And Trump naively maintains Putin won’t have further territorial ambitions if Ukraine gives up Donbas. Art of the deal.

Riddle me this. Why are goods imported from foreign countries subject to tariffs but not the services the same countries provide to U.S. based companies (e.g., consumer call centers, banks, insurance companies, software coding, etc.)?

Do those jobs involve work that can’t be performed here?

I just finished doing a little work in my yard and concluded no member of Congress should be permitted to cast a vote regarding immigration if they don’t mow their own lawn.

Mike Lee is a constant embarrassment to the good people of Utah.
Republican Sen. Mike Lee’s misinformation problem goes from bad to worse
The problem isn’t just that the Utah senator amplified obvious misinformation. The bigger problem is that Mike Lee keeps amplifying misinformation.

According to the Wall Street Journal, it cost $400 million to develop and build the 20 bunker buster bombs that were in the U.S. arsenal. 13 were dropped on Iran at a cost of $260 million, not including fuel and related expenses for the aircraft.

Discuss among yourselves whether in was worth it.

If you’re alarmed about Senator Mike Lee’s proposal to sell up to 3,000,000 acres of Federally owned land to private parties in order to give the nation’s wealthiest individuals and largest corporations big tax breaks, please watch this video.

A lot less than 200,000 attended Trump’s birthday parade. But, even if that figure were accurate, the estimated $45,000,000 cost works out to $225 per person.

Next time, just give us the cash.

Trump’s parade is scheduled for 6:30 pm on Saturday. There’s an
90% chance of rain tomorrow with up to one inch of accumulation. Even God is unhappy with the event.
