BYU President Shane Reese on the lost art of hard work. Are we too focused on 'work smarter, not harder'? #WorkEthic #Leadership M&D50

“Dependence was seen as the key to holding the slaves down. It’s ironic that the same principle comes up in the welfare state 100 years later.” — Thomas Sowell

America routinely taking days/weeks to count ballots now is f’n hilarious. They might as well announce results in Hamburglar costumes

@picklebll @Sarahsred7 The Bible doesn't say anything, it's a book. Prophets and God say things.

@Sarahsred7 Just admit it. You could care less what the Bible says about heaven

And hear "till death do you part?" No thanks. That's like trading a Ferrari for a Chevy Malibu.

🚨 WOW! Secretary Rubio is taking NO BS from Dem Rep. Ted Lieu, he keeps DESTROYING them LIEU: Trump can't even stay awake during meetings! RUBIO: He's NOT falling asleep LIEU: YOU'RE LYING RUBIO: Is this a JOKE!? This is a Foreign Affairs Committee you're asking about SLEEP [...] Absurd and ridiculous. I can't believe we're in a Foreign Affairs Committee with questions about someone who thinks he's a MEDICAL EXPERT when he's NOT! We HAD a cognitively impaired president for 4 years. THIS president is a guy that literally DOESN'T sleep, works long hours every day. I talk to him day and night, HE WORKS INHUMANE HOURS. I've been on trips where he doesn't sleep the whole flight, he's wandering the hallways to wake people up and talk to! He has an INCREDIBLE amount of energy. He's so good.

@defense_of_fam And it’s openly celebrated 12 months of the year, if it weren’t for Christian’s moving away from Chasity and marriage fidelity, society would not have progressed to complete redefinition of sex, marriage & gender.

Clint is dropping truth bombs. If you don’t follow him already what are you even doing?

Enduring to the end is linked inextricably to the spiritual gift of charity. Enduring to the end is not merely a relentless determination to grit our teeth, hold on to the limits of our physical strength and mental capacity, and push through the challenges and adversities of mortal life; it is so much more than that. Enduring to the end is the joyous quest of a lifetime—a pressing forward with faith in Jesus Christ in a gradual process of trusting in and receiving help from our Savior to become more like Him. As our love for Him grows ever stronger and deeper, we can be blessed to receive spiritual perspective, the Lord’s empowering grace, and exceedingly great and indescribable joy.

Memorial Day isn’t about barbecues or beach days—it’s about those American heroes who gave everything for our freedom. THIS 70-SECOND VIDEO CAPTURES WHAT THE DAY IS TRULY ABOUT. 🇺🇸

“You cannot simultaneously have a welfare state and free immigration.” — Milton Friedman

“If men do not comprehend the character of God, they do not comprehend themselves.” - Joseph Smith, Jr.

“Most people on the left are not opposed to freedom. They are just in favor of all sorts of things that are incompatible with freedom. Freedom ultimately means the right of other people to do things that you do not approve of.” — Thomas Sowell

Why is sexual sin so serious? ⬇️ “Setting aside sins against the Holy Ghost for a moment as a special category unto themselves, it is LDS doctrine that sexual transgression is second only to murder in the Lord’s list of life’s most serious sins. By assigning such rank to a physical appetite so conspicuously evident in all of us, what is God trying to tell us about its place in his plan for all men and women in mortality? I submit to you he is doing precisely that—commenting about the very plan of life itself. Clearly God’s greatest concerns regarding mortality are how one gets into this world and how one gets out of it. These two most important issues in our very personal and carefully supervised progress are the two issues that he as our Creator and Father and Guide wishes most to reserve to himself. These are the two matters that he has repeatedly told us he wants us never to take illegally, illicitly, unfaithfully, without sanction.” - Jeffrey R. Holland

“To believe in God is to commit your life.” Jordan Peterson dropped that on the Shawn Ryan Show and it stopped me cold. It’s not saying “I believe.” It’s volunteering for the cross — betrayal, unjust suffering, staring down hell, and still stepping forward with courage. The real imitation of Christ. Most who wear the label have no idea what they’re actually signing up for. I’ve been wrestling with how cheap modern belief has become. Easy words. Brutal reality. In a world full of performative faith and slogans, this cuts straight to the difference between nodding along and actually living the pattern when it costs everything. This one hit like a gut check. What does real commitment look like to you — in faith, work, or relationships?

@darthcaro @wndyW1LL0w I'm happy to take a look at your return and give you some quick advice.

@wndyW1LL0w Tax season sucks for us cuz Kade owns a business and so we have to pay a butt-ton now 😭 despite still being broke

Idk about yall but we’ve saved our tax returns and used it on important bills or necessities instead of blowing it on stupid shit or 400 credit score cruises.

@GavinNewsom What's the slush fund?

The slush fund. The ballroom. The IRS get-out-of-jail-free card. Donald Trump isn’t serving the American people — he’s serving himself. And he thinks you’re dumb enough to fall for it.

DOGE found the waste, but Big Spenders in both parties put it right back in. Zero of it became law. Zero. The debt is still climbing, interest payments are approaching $2 trillion a year, and both parties are to blame.

In our day, with social media, artificial intelligence, and all the technology of our modern age, it is very easy to be misrepresented or to misrepresent the intent of others. Let us be determined to be completely honest and most generous as we speak of others.

@GoWithJordan_ The good news is Christ. Without him no one can be a Christian.

Latter Day saints, can you be a Christian without the gospel?
