Brigham Young outmaneuvered some of the greatest players of his era, robber barons and railroad kings, newspaper magnates, mining giants and Washington politcos, culture leaders and religious demogogues and Union generals, all of which were hellbent on the church's destruction. It was full on Borgias vs the Medicis out here in the rockies and we survived them all. He made friends and allies with the ones he could and isolated and outflanked the rest. We would be wise to study him.

The first correspondence was sent from UVU Dec,. 17th showing University leadership was aware of posts McMahon had made after the death of Charlie Kirk.
"We appreciated your words of support for UVU in the days following the Sept. 10 tragedy on campus. That meant a great deal to us. You have always been a powerful voice for education and thoughtful dialogue, and your message resonates in Utah and with our UVU community ..."

GOOD MORNING from @UVU from the @UtahGOP state convention. I'll be covering the day for @abc4utah today while my colleague, Jake White, will be with the @UtahDemocrats. Here are the races I'll be watching. I'll post if there are any other surprises🧵🧵:

@SophieAnde49073 @donMiguelSLC Nice to see you today, Sophie. I hope you’re well.

@Manhattva Blake was just a nail in the coffin. SB 54 was the hinge point. The Olympics brought in a lot of out of state weirdos like Nate Blouin. The legislature rolled out the red carpet for socialist tech bros at Silicon Slopes. The “affordable housing” push only makes us more urban. IMO

Utah went Blue because of one person.
Blake Moore.
John Arnold@johnarnold
After all this, we’re right back where we started but with fewer competitive districts and even more gridlock and dysfunction.

@PubliusDB Not necessarily. I agree that he is our best jurist. But the dems lost a seat because Ginsberg couldn’t see the writing on the wall with her age
English
@BasedMikeLee I agree that he is the best jurist we have. But he is old. Never forget that the dems could have replaced Ginsburg but her pride got in the way. Now we have the 6-3 majority. It is t worth giving up.

Justice Alito is the best there is
The best there has been
And the best there will be
He should stay on the Court forever
Pass it on if you agree
Mollie@MZHemingway
Alito not expected to retire this term, cooling Supreme Court vacancy speculation: sources foxnews.com/politics/alito… #FoxNews

@wanderingdave It would help to see the texts. Also, Lindsay didn’t state that someone from Reymann’s firm was the head of the judicial commission
English
This seems like a real stretch going after the judge. If she recused herself and it didn't impact a court decision then what's the big deal? Why are we wasting more tax payer money on some divorce drama ?
Lindsay Aerts@LindsayOnAir
Let's walk through what we know -- and don't know -- in the allegations against Justice Diana Hagen after a judicial conduct complaint claims she had an affair with one of the lead lawyers on Utah's redistricting case. 🧵 abc4.com/news/politics/…
English
@LindsayOnAir Was anyone on the commission from Reymann’s firm?
English
Obviously, Republican state leaders say they should -- especially because Tobin Hagen hasn't shown the text messages to the JCC.
Meanwhile, the Utah Supreme Court is decrying that the records were released at all.

@Manhattva @BasedMikeLee 2/2 It was next investigated by her friends on the Utah Supreme Court. They cleared her.
Now they’re upset an independent investigation is happening?
Starting to make me think we are living in the Book of Mormon reign of judges!
English
@Manhattva @BasedMikeLee 1/2 So let’s get this straight.
She was romantically communicating with the attorney in the redistricting case (Reymann).
This was first investigated by the judicial nominating commission which is headed by someone in Reymann’s firm. They cleared her.

The Utah Supreme Court:
“We have investigated ourselves, and our investigation found our colleague to be totally innocent, and know you’re not allowed to look at the records related to the investigation, who we spoke to or how we reached this conclusion.”
Disgusting.

Here's a full statement we received from the Supreme Court in response to the investigation into Justice Diana Hagen's alleged relationship:
English
@LindsayOnAir Looks like the commission is compromised
Dr Manhattva@Manhattva
And apparently, Cheylynn Hayman, another attorney who is a shareholder in the firm where this Reymann dude works, Is the chair of the Judicial Conduct Commission, Which refused to investigate this when people discovered what was going on!
English
The issue was reportedly looked into by the Judicial Conduct Commission who found "insufficient evidence" to pursue it further. Utah Democrats are calling into question the need for the extra investigation.
English
JUST IN: Utah's top state leaders say they'll investigate Utah Supreme Court Justice Diana Hagen after a report detailed a judicial probe into alleged inappropriate text messages with a lawyer on the redistricting case. Hagen strongly denies it, the lawyer called it false.
English
@mjolley22 Two thoughts:
1) it’s a little shameful that a DC outlet found this material before any UT outlets. Shows the bias of our local media and tbe pass they give democrats.
2) most out of state socialist Dems in UT believe what Nate is saying. They just aren’t dumb enough to say it.
English
Warning: repulsive content below.
Blake Moore’s Prop 4 is what made it possible for an extremist like Nate to be a frontrunner in a Congressional race in Utah.

>@allymutnick in @PunchbowlNews AM: A top Democrat running for an open congressional seat in Utah has authored a slew of offensive posts on internet forums, denigrating Mormons and making crass jokes about women and sexual assault. Here’s just a sampling of the posts written more than a decade ago by Utah state Sen. @NateForUtah: – Blouin recommended buying a GoPro camera “for filming porn with your underage sister.” – Blouin repeatedly referred to people as “cunts,” used the word “retarded” and threatened to “skull fuck” someone. – Blouin described the Church of the Latter-day Saints as “a bunch of bigoted assholes” with an “ideology fostering ignorance and intolerance.” – Blouin called Mormons the worst part of living in Utah and wrote that the “LDS church is DEFINITELY just a front for the largest US drug cartel.” – Blouin said an LDS missionary visiting his house had inadvertently seen a pornographic image he was viewing. – Blouin also said he “took a shit in the corner of an LDS church parking lot.” punchbowl.news/archive/41526-…

Protecting Utah’s future requires more than symbolic gestures. It takes bringing people together, solving hard problems, and delivering results that last. I’ve done that work. In Congress, I’ll fight to protect our public lands by sponsoring the Central Wasatch National Conservation and Recreation Area Act and the America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act.

@alexisence Obviously not. Charlie Kirk was murdered there

Wait…the UVU president is tied to the Dignity Index, and Sharon was the commencement pick?
The Dignity Index seems little more than a viewpoint filter.
Are conservative voices safe at UVU?
DataRepublican (small r)@DataRepublican
Long story short: UVU is heavily involved in the Dignity Index process, was before Kirk's assassination. And yes, the President of UVU appears to be directly involved. Dignity Index has its roots in democratic regime change abroad. Having the worst "bridge building" failure in modern US history at the ground zero for replicating it in the USA was a major embarrassment - so they had no choice except to institutionally assemble within an hour and double down. All this with receipts tomorrow.
