My dad asked me to get married in the Manti temple so that he could see what was at the top of the spiral staircase.
Brides usually pick their favorite temple for a wedding, but for whatever reason, I said yes to my father's request.
My 44-year old father passed away a year later. I never regret letting him choose. Manti is a special little town with a beautiful temple!

Cordially requesting a formal meeting with President Taylor R. Randall of the University of Utah.
Campus safety remains our highest priority and requires prompt, thorough and immediate attention. @PresidentUofU

The University of Utah (@UUtah) tragically failed to protect Lauren McCluskey from being murdered on campus only a few short years ago.
What is the University doing to protect Republican students as they're being threatened and assaulted?
Their silence is deafening.
Transgender man says: “I think Republicans should be shot in the street” moments prior to brutally assaulting a College Republican student.
Republican students aren’t safe around unstable men pretending they’re woman.

The University of Utah is providing support and resources to the Transgender man who assaulted Republicans?
2 Class B misdemeanors don’t get you expelled—or even in trouble?
But last month Rylie and I were threatened expulsion when we called behavior like this out?
INSANE!

Day 27: Advocate
“I was really able to learn that Christ went through things for me—that He suffered for me individually… He is our advocate to God. And I’m able to reach out in faith. Doing so, that gives me hope that I will be able to be who God needs me to be.”

So … everybody knows this was recently done in Utah, right?
BREAKING: NYT reports that operatives with Democratic Alaska U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign were behind the effort to find & recruit a candidate named Dan Sullivan to run against incumbent GOP Senator Dan S. Sullivan in an effort to confuse voters and peel votes from him.
Specifically, NYT says they have reviewed text messages and documents that reveal in summer 2025, a Peltola staffer received instructions from campaign staffers to find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as possible.
The staffer complied, going through voter records, and compiled a list. The operation “involved secret trips to far-flung Alaskan communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative, who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-be candidates over beers at brew pubs.”
Per NYT:
“The plan worked. This spring, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village along the Alaska Panhandle, reachable only by air and sea, announced his candidacy for Senate. His name was Dan J. Sullivan.”

. @uneedsoap has found @GovCox and the entire "Disagree Better" network including Braver Angels in the Democracy Files.
That this starts in September 2026 is interesting.
The proposal says they were working with Braver Angels CEO Maury Giles to engage Utah Governor Spencer Cox and his Disagree Better network.
"Because Governor action must emerge as cross-partisan, we are working with Maury Giles, CEO of Braver Angels, to engage Governor Spencer Cox of Utah and the cross-partisan Disagree Better network."

He’s right
UNDERCOVER: GAVIN NEWSOM SAYS THE DSA IS "GOING TO BE DOMINANT" AND "MAINSTREAM" IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
"The DSA, the energy and the desire and demand for bold change, not incremental change, is very much going to be dominant. I mean, that's going to be a mainstream Democratic movement. Absolutely. No question about that."
That's California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a likely 2028 presidential candidate, speaking to an undercover journalist while campaigning in New Hampshire.
Asked by a "younger voter" who said "we don't want Kamala Harris, we want more democratic socialist policies":
"No one is arguing to manage the status quo and fail more efficiently."
"You can't play in the margins anymore. The system's broken. It's completely unbalanced, and we can't manage the decline. We have to completely reimagine."
Dave is an Army vet.
Like his take on the election or not, he served our country overseas. He is part of the reason you have the freedom to disagree.
Not everyone can stomach voting for the lesser of two evils. And I've noticed a trend among MY mutuals on X: Those who have served in the military seem to be the least likely to hold their nose and vote.
Some of you may have a different experience.
Got a lot of flak for this, I just wanna say a few things.
1. Me not voting for Blake Moore will have zero impact on anything. That colossal embarrassment is still going to win, so the only thing me voting for him accomplishes is basically throwing away my self respect and morals by voting for a horrendously unqualified candidate.
2. I participated extensively in the convention and primary as a duly designated delegate to the Utah GOP convention. I voted in every contest as a delegate at the convention. I actively supported Karianne Lisonbee in my own district and Phil Lyman in another. It cannot be said I didn't do everything within my extraordinarily limited capability to make a difference and send a message.
3. Voting for candidates you know are not unqualified or behave badly is intellectually and democratically stupid. This simplistic view of "but the democrats are worse" is unconvincing. Yes. The democrats are worse. But rewarding bad behavior gives those behaving badly no incentive to change. They'll go right on behaving badly. So we gotta send them another kind of message so they will either change how they behave or, ideally, make way for a better candidate the next time around.
4. The Utah Second Congressional District is the only race of consequence on my ballot. There are not races for Senator or Governor. If there were, and there were acceptable alternatives than the unimpressive Spencer Cox types, I wouldn't be sitting this one out. But there's not. And withholding my vote for all Republicans in this election is my final option to voice my displeasure in the direction our country and state are heading.
5. Calling me stupid is not an effective argument and will not compel me to vote for Blake Moore.
My daughter got married this weekend!
The ceremony was outside a big barn in Nephi, Utah.
It was pretty emotional because my immune system and heart/lungs meant I was participating by livestream.
She married a sweetheart and I am so grateful for him!

My 7 year old daughter asked me when we got home from the church Halloween party last night if BYU had won.
I told her they had lost.
She replied, "That's okay, they won last week, so it's nice that the other team got to win this time."
She's a sweatheart.

Why didn’t I actively fundraise or seek endorsements?
Because too often they come with strings attached.
I’m running because I don’t believe we’ve been served well.
We deserve better.
Better is on the ballot.

did you know, some of BYU’s biggest fans didn’t even watch the notre dame game?
the reason is awesome.
