@Eternal_Saints_ But he wasn’t the author of the process, which is the primary objection you raised. Sounds like you just don’t like jason. I was initially against the data center, but may have been persuaded by his post. Your response feels biased.

@WasatchBack Jason Chaffetz brokered this tyrannical deal. He’s openly supporting the tyrannical deal. He’s a tyrant He must never be governor.

Jason Chaffetz brokered the city-sized data center in Box Elder County. He says he had the same concerns we had. But those concerns were answered to his satisfaction. So he hooked them up with Kevin O’Leary to move the project forward. I suppose Jason doesn’t think the people of Box Elder County deserve a chance to have their concerns heard before having it rammed down all our throats. And why should they? They just live there. Our politicians view us as little more than cattle that pay taxes. Jason Chaffetz should never be Governor .

@Manhattva @jasoninthehouse Wow. I can’t believe this guy lost… Not!

Bro… @jasoninthehouse absolutely cooked here.

@Chicago1Ray @texaspartyman Wait, is that something every billionaire has, an umbrella holder? Stupid comment.

LOL 😂 Thomas Massie says the people against him are billionaires, while he has his own umbrella holder You can't make this up

@BreitbartNews Deserved.

Sen. Bill Cassidy has been defeated in his run for reelection -- with two challengers knocking him out of the primary's runoff. This is the first time a sitting GOP senator has lost a primary campaign in 14 years.

@Eternal_Saints_ Well, it seems your objection had to do with the process adopted by local government, which has nothing to do with jason Chaffetz’s post, so that’s why I asked. Your objection doesn’t logically follow.

@WasatchBack I believe I made my problem clear with my original post.

@JasontheLayman Don’t act like you know, because you clearly don’t.

One of the most interesting fictional stories in the Book of Mormon is about the pretend prophet, Alma the younger. He lived about seventy five years before Christ and was calling believers Christians. And not only is his conversion strikingly similar to the apostle Paul's, he often uses phrases that are exclusive to the New Testament. Here's a short list of plagiarized phrases that Joseph Smith lazily mixed into his fairytale from the book of Alma alone. “born of God” “sit down in the kingdom of God, with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob” “the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace, and mercy, and truth” “take away the sins of the world” “the ax is laid at the root of the tree, therefore every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit shall be hewn down and cast into the fire” “bring forth works which are meet for repentance” “and to cleanse from all unrighteousness” “lay aside every sin, which easily doth beset you” “he who is filthy shall remain in his filthiness” “faith, hope, and charity” “thou hast not lied unto men only but thou hast lied unto God” “resurrection of the dead,…both the just and the unjust” “the rocks and the mountains, to fall upon us to hide us from” “must die; and after death, they must come to judgment” “Melchizedek…king of Salem…priest of the most high God…tithes” “work out your salvation with fear” “worship God,…in spirit and in truth” “behold now is the time and the day of your salvation” “O Jesus, thou Son of God, have mercy on me, who am in the gall of bitterness” “without God in the world” “the light of the world” “the lusts of your eyes” “shall be cast out into outer darkness; there shall be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth” “fearful looking for the fiery indignation of the wrath of God” “then shall the righteous shine forth in the kingdom of God” Please wake up, sleeping LDS members! The Book of Mormon is an obvious sham.

@joyinbecomingp1 Hmm. Read your first sentence over again. You don’t sound very open-minded.

No one will convince me these data centers are a good thing for us. And it’s not worth the risk to our resources that we need to survive. I have always been anti AI and that ain’t changing especially when it comes at such a high cost.

@7Veritas4 @michcooley For me, the question is, “how can I get this guy a third term?”

Without question, putting Donald Trump in the White House is the worst mistake America has ever made. Now the question is whether we will ever recover from it.

@RepJackKimble Still doesn’t justify insider trading. Put a stop to it.

Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.

@brivael @dicentra33 Sorry, dude. Don’t see it. I hate wokism, but I tend to doubt the French get credit for it.

Je veux présenter mes excuses, au nom des Français, pour avoir enfanté la French Theory (qui a enfanté la pire des merdes idéologiques : le wokisme). Nous avons donné au monde Descartes, Pascal, Tocqueville. Et puis, dans les ruines intellectuelles de l'après-68, nous avons donné Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze. Trois hommes brillants qui ont fabriqué, dans l'élégance de notre langue, l'arme idéologique qui paralyse aujourd'hui l'Occident. Il faut comprendre ce qu'ils ont fait. Foucault a enseigné que la vérité n'existe pas, qu'il n'y a que des rapports de pouvoir déguisés en savoir. Que la science, la raison, la justice, l'institution médicale, l'école, la prison, la sexualité, tout n'est qu'une mise en scène de la domination. Derrida a enseigné que les textes n'ont pas de sens stable, que tout signifiant glisse, que toute lecture est une trahison, que l'auteur est mort et que le lecteur règne. Deleuze a enseigné qu'il fallait préférer le rhizome à l'arbre, le nomade au sédentaire, le désir à la loi, le devenir à l'être, la différence à l'identité. Pris isolément, ce sont des thèses discutables. Combinées, exportées, vulgarisées, elles forment un système. Et ce système est un poison. Car voici ce qui s'est passé. Ces textes, illisibles en France, ont traversé l'Atlantique. Les départements de Yale, de Berkeley, de Columbia les ont absorbés dans les années 80. Ils y ont trouvé un terreau qui n'existait pas chez nous : le puritanisme américain, sa culpabilité raciale, son obsession identitaire. La French Theory s'est mariée à ce substrat, et l'enfant de ce mariage s'appelle le wokisme. Judith Butler lit Foucault et invente le genre performatif. Edward Said lit Foucault et invente le post-colonialisme académique. Kimberlé Crenshaw hérite du cadre et invente l'intersectionnalité. À chaque étape, la matrice est française : il n'y a pas de vérité, il n'y a que du pouvoir, donc toute hiérarchie est suspecte, toute institution est oppressive, toute norme est violence, toute identité est construite donc négociable, toute majorité est coupable. Voilà comment trois philosophes parisiens, qui n'ont probablement jamais imaginé leurs conséquences pratiques, ont fourni le logiciel d'exploitation à une génération entière d'activistes, de bureaucrates universitaires, de DRH, de journalistes, de législateurs. Voilà comment on a obtenu une civilisation qui ne sait plus dire si une femme est une femme, si sa propre histoire mérite d'être défendue, si le mérite existe, si la vérité se distingue de l'opinion. C'est de la merde pour une raison simple, et il faut la dire calmement. Une civilisation se tient debout sur trois piliers : la croyance qu'il existe une vérité accessible à la raison, la croyance qu'il existe un bien distinct du mal, la croyance qu'il existe un héritage à transmettre. La French Theory a entrepris de dynamiter les trois. Pas par méchanceté. Par jeu intellectuel, par fascination du soupçon, par haine de la bourgeoisie qui les avait nourris. Mais le résultat est là. Une génération entière a appris à déconstruire et n'a jamais appris à construire. Une génération entière sait soupçonner et ne sait plus admirer. Une génération entière voit le pouvoir partout et la beauté nulle part. Je m'excuse parce que nous, Français, avons une responsabilité particulière. C'est notre langue, nos universités, nos éditeurs, notre prestige qui ont donné à ce nihilisme son emballage chic. Sans la légitimité de la Sorbonne et de Vincennes, ces idées n'auraient jamais traversé l'océan. Nous avons exporté le doute comme d'autres exportent des armes. Ce qui se construit maintenant, en silicon valley, dans les labos d'IA, dans les startups, dans les ateliers, dans tous les lieux où des gens fabriquent encore des choses au lieu de les déconstruire, c'est la réponse. Une civilisation se reconstruit par les bâtisseurs, pas par les commentateurs. Par ceux qui croient que la vérité existe et qu'elle vaut qu'on s'y consacre. Par ceux qui assument une hiérarchie du beau, du vrai, du bon, et qui n'ont pas honte de la transmettre. Alors pardon. Et au travail.

@katiakitty1234 @CasperYeow Get over it, Denise.

@CasperYeow If you are believing in a Jesus that is Lucifer's brother, you have what scripture calls "another Jesus". And "another Jesus" can not save. LDS Jesus is a counterfeit.

I was born in Kuala Lumpur into a traditionally Buddhist family. I’m the oldest of two children. I’ve always had a fascination with Christianity because some of my friends were, but I never really explored it. At age 12, I migrated to Australia with my family. Throughout my teenage years I attended church with friends, but I never really learnt much about Jesus – it was more about being a good person. In my early 20s, my parents lost their business. That set off a series of events that led to them and my sister joining the Church. Up until then I’d only heard weird things and kept my distance, although I would go along to some meetings and activities to keep the peace. It took me about two and a half years to decide to really look into why things had changed at home. My parents argued less, my dad stopped gambling, and there was more peace. At the same time, the people I met at church were just so nice. I wanted to be more like them. When I finally got more serious and met with missionaries, I started to pray and ponder the things they shared. Nothing dramatic happened – it just made sense. Especially the Plan of Salvation, God’s plan of happiness, and the role of Jesus Christ and His Atonement. The Book of Mormon is where I really came to know the Saviour. When I was baptised, for the first time in my life, I liked myself. The stutter left me, and the self-doubt largely disappeared because I knew I was a child of God. A year later, I returned to Malaysia as part of the Singapore Mission to share the gospel as a full-time missionary. It was one of the most treasured periods of my life. I testify that the Book of Mormon is the word of God — another testament of Jesus Christ. I know He is my Saviour. And we have a loving Heavenly Father. Joseph Smith was a prophet of the Restoration — not perfect (like all prophets), but a prophet nonetheless The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is indeed the Church of Jesus Christ. For those of you who are thinking of dropping negative comments, rather than waste your valuable time doing that, consider re-directing your efforts to serving someone in need. That's what the Saviour, Jesus Christ, would have done. PS: This is me! youtube.com/watch?v=E8czqR…

@syninlv @sltrib Your tone is sort of snarky, perhaps even disrespectful.

@sltrib Yeah Dallin, are you really a Prophet of God? Or just a snake oil salesman sitting on a cash cow reserve.. while beautiful Utah gets raped by every greedy idea worth a profit? Do tell, the masses are curious.. so is Jesus.

Letter: LDS Church President Dallin Oaks is a former Utah Supreme Court justice. He ought to know better than most how important it is to stand up for the foundations of our democracy. I ask him to speak out, now. sltrib.com/opinion/letter…

@kling0n_uranus @sltrib Quick death without the church’s money.

@sltrib I bet the LDS church is a big donor to the SLtrib. Huge mistake. I ask pres oaks to stop donating to the trib. Let it die a slow death

@frgtr46052602 You’re right. It was a lazy response to someone I didn’t want to take the time to inform. I noticed they didn’t respond. “Silly“ was a much nicer adjective than what was deserved. Hopefully, they will educate themselves or won’t spout off again before checking their facts.

@WasatchBack Words like silly and ignorance are not likely to get people to want to listen to you and learn more

If the Book of Mormon is true, the Bible is false. But since the Bible is true, Mormonism is false. I trust Jesus Christ more than Joseph Smith.

@frgtr46052602 2 Ne. 1:26

@WasatchBack Peacemakers needed

@apinionsvary @judithfuredi Let’s go!!!

🚨MORE GOP BETRAYAL! Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Rand Paul broke with Senate GOP leadership and voted with Democrats on a failed bid to advance a resolution to halt U.S. military hostilities involving Iran unless Congress formally authorizes further action. Murkowski especially needs to go. Her seat is definitely winnable by a solid MAGA Republican!

@0hour1 @catturd2 Widower

This will be all over Kentucky by 9 am tomorrow. The grieving widow Thomas Massie is smiling on vacation with his lover 2 months after his wife passed. Trump was right.

@JeanineElsholz @michcooley Great post, so true, and Elder Scott is awesome!

“You have a choice. You can wring your hands and be consumed with concern for the future, or you can choose to use the counsel the Lord has given to live with PEACE and HAPPINESS in a world awash with evil. God has provided a way to live in this world and not be contaminated by the degrading pressures evil agents spread throughout it. You can live a virtuous, productive, righteous life by following the plan of PROTECTION created by your Father in Heaven: His plan of HAPPINESS. It is contained in the scriptures and in the inspired declarations of His prophets. As you continue to center your mind and heart in Him, He will help you have a rich and full life no matter what happens in the world around you. Your security is in God your Father and His Beloved Son, Jesus Christ. He is your hope, your Mediator, your Redeemer. Through obedience, let Him GUIDE YOU to peace and happiness amid increased evil in the world.” Richard G. Scott April 2004 GC We ALWAYS get to choose! #SaintsOnX

@jennycKreative @tvheidihatch Take it easy, Pure Jenius. Heidi used the word transgender and posted a picture. With those two points of reference, it’s impossible to be misled. I doubt you were confused, which means you are on your soapbox.

@tvheidihatch “Reporting the facts” would be calling this biological MAN a MAN. Give us a fucking break with this scapegoating of journalistic integrity!!!
