Mitt Romney is a disgrace to my state Utah and my faith. I believe he is severely compromised. He has something in his closet he does not want publicized and the Democrats are using it to their full advantage.
@kylegriffin1
Iโm a retired reporter/anchor/news director. We are the free press protected by the constitution to be a WATCHDOG for the people over their government. Intentionally abandoning that responsibility to support or cover up government corruption is absolutely criminal.
@SenFeinstein
Actually it puts the constitution at the fore and focus of the court. Making sure we are actually governing by it as intended. Under liberal justices, that foundational document tends to get ignored, trampled, and eroded.
Never forget how
@GovCox
โdisagreed betterโ by blindly following the mob without waiting for all of the facts to come out. That is not how a leader should react. But Cox is more concerned about optics than truth. Consider this at the polls on June 25th and Vote for

LONG THREAD: When the allegation of racist slurs at a BYU volleyball game first came out I believed them. My first reaction was shock and sadness that my alma mater would have such an incident. Then as the news reports came in rapid fire, I noticed the lack of detail. (1)
@AndyKimNJ
2 questions: Why hasnโt a single person arrested been charged under US Code 2383 for rebellion or insurrection?
Who attempts to overthrow their government without any weapons or sign of a plan?
Sorry, but this ruse is up. Nothing that day matches the definition of insurrection.
Is it just me or does Troy Aikman turn into a dick any time he talks about Zach Wilson? It seems obvious to me he doesn't like the kid, but why? It's just weird.
@Variety
Go to Portland, Oregon. Your tribe attacks people on the street and vandalizes cars that donโt go where they tell them to. They think a lot like you do.
If Mitt Romney joins the party of abortion, gender confusion, genital mutilation of children, anti-Israel, anti-religion, anti-free speech, he will cement his legacy as a fraud, a fake Mormon, and a really bad guy.
This is what a racist looks like. She can't stomach her "run of the mill white kids" and she accidentally let it slip out. Notice the panic and frantic attempt to "whitewash it" by saying her mother is white, so it's OK if I disparage white kids!!!!
I get this feeling, after my post on Mitt Romney went viral, that I'm going to get rebuked during General Conference at some point. It was harsh. But that's what betrayal brings out in me and he betrayed those of us who supported him and voted for him.
One minute this dude is telling everyone how his team is going to dominate the Big12 every year and the next he's going off like this...๐๐คฃ๐๐คก๐ฉ
As much as I gripe at BYU, theyโve done something this year that would have made me laugh had you said a 20+ win season and a 5 or 6 seed in the tournament was even possible. Theyโve created expectations we have no business entertaining yet here they are. Remarkable season
#BYU
Dear Trump Supporters, I know you are angry with Mitt Romneyโs vote. So are many Utahns and many Mormons. But donโt attack, mock, and demean a religion for the choice of one in 16,000,000 members. Donโt do to Mormons exactly what Democrats do to Trump every day.

Truth is too important for it to be ignored and swept aside for the sake of political correctness and hurt feelings.
We all lose in that scenario. (End)
2011 Utah lost its conf. opener to USC.
2012 Utah lost its conf opener to ASU.
2013 Utah lost its conf opener to Oregon State.
2014 Utah lost its conf opener to WSU.
It took 5 seasons for Utah to win a conf opener.
Imagine that...
Weโve seen it over and over again. Racially motivated crimes reported that turn out to be hoaxes. Of course the most notorious is the Jussie Smollett case, racial slurs painted on walls, schools, homes, only to find the culprits were not white (19)
I have no problem with that. However, I do have a serious problem with people who donโt want to find the truth. People who say โjust let it goโ are cowards and as far as Iโm concerned dishonest themselves. The truth must always be found and told. (13)

Always amuses me how the musicians and artists support socialist regime change in the beginning until they realize theyโre the first to disappear once that new government is in power.
@45wonyuge
I had lunch with a good friend. He told me was about to get the jab. Less than 2 weeks later he died of massive heart failure. No one can convince me the shot didnโt do it. These stories are all over and far too common. Not all are so bad, but too many get hurt. We are lab rats.

@SenFeinstein
Iโm talking about originalist jurists not politicians. Now you conflate the argument. Even so, I trust Republicans to follow the constitution 1000 times more than any Democrat. And I belong to neither party.

The fall: purchased by Apex Partners LLP a British private equity firm headquartered in London, England.
Imagine what kind of season this would be if BYU played everyone like they played Kansas and Baylor and had some friendlier officiatingโฆ if wishes were fishes weโd all have a fry right? Am I right?

Racist Comments at BYU Volleyball Game Cannot Be Corroborated by Eye Witnesses nor video or audio evidence. Police officers watching the student section reported hearing no slurs and racially motivated language.
Now what?

@JoeBiden
If we're going to end qualified immunity for police officers let's end it for congressional representatives and politicians in general as well.
Wait...aren't you the guy that vetoed the bill to keep men and boys from competing against women and girls in sports?
Does your hypocrisy have no limits?
I stand with the students, coaches and leadership at
@SUUtbirds
and
@USUAggies
in their decision to forgo their womenโs volleyball matches against San Jose State.

It is essential that we preserve a space for women to compete fairly and safely. Our female athletes are left
False allegations, even if unintentional, can have devastating consequences. In this case death threats against the BYU coach and hateful accusations and rhetoric toward BYU and its church sponsor on social media and mainstream media, which for me is even more disappointing. (14)
@GordonMonson
It's a nothing burger. The original artist even painted her in more modest dress. You just had to dunk on the church like the Trib does every damn opportunity they get. It's obvious and pathetic. The Tribune is the modern Nauvoo Expositor and it will bring similar consequences.
None of them gave any indication that eye witnesses corroborated the allegations, nor did police reports, audio or video of the televised game, nothing. Then as people began to review the game video specifics in the now famous Godmotherโs story were clearly missing. (2)

Iโve never received a more loving or kind head slap. Elder Rasbandโs inspired message made me assess my words, especially the ones I use in this platform. Change is required.
and present their side. Let the audience determine whoโs right or wrong and what the report means. I was to be an objective observer gathering the facts. I have watched our news media devolve into shoddy, lazy, gotcha journalism. Looking for clicks over truth. (16)

Iโm tired of ignorance allowing the destroyers of our constitution and freedoms more power. I no longer have patience for it nor am I mannered around those who unwittingly play into it. You have described yourself as one of those. Ignorance is not bliss.
She claimed the N-word was shouted at the player โevery time she servedโ which was twice. Yet no appalled reactions by her teammates or her. The natural reaction (for me at least) would be an immediate head turn toward the speaker. (3)
Instances like these make real reports racism that much harder to believe without strong evidence to support of the allegations. Many BYU fans feel thrown under the bus and left defenseless against a national onslaught of anger and hate that doesnโt appear be justified. (21)
Not a single media source reported ANYTHING but the allegations. No one asked for proof. No one interviewed the students in that section of the crowd. No one interviewed the officer or staff tasked with finding a perpetrator. (17)
