@BrigJeffs @Manhattva They can barely learn their job in one retention cycle. Their first vote is two years in. Do you want exclusively new judges every 2 years?

@Manhattva I'll never vote to retain ANY judge ever again. I don't think they should serve more than one retention cycle at most. In the past I've often voted to retain what I thought were good judges only to see them become horrible later on.

What a rotten and dishonest headline. The judiciary is clearly compromised, and this is a wildly left wing partisan take.

@RykerJackson97 He could be already resurrected though. We don’t know who is and isn’t. We do know he is busy.

Why would I be upset? Of course Joseph Smith is in the tomb. Just like Isaiah, or Jeremiah, or Amos, or any number of other prophets. Are you under the impression that we think Joseph Smith is a resurrected being or something? 😂

@ShellRamirez96 @MattTestifies My child was very sick in the nicu and they asked if we wanted to have him baptized or blessed. People are just trying their best. They don’t need to be mocked, they are extending what compassion they can.

@MattTestifies When our baby was dying from complications after a double lung transplant, her doctors asked us if we wanted to have our her baptized. They knew we LDS. My husband said "when was the last time you ever saw a baby sin?" That was the end of that discussion.

A few days ago, I took heat for criticizing a video of a priest offering emergency baptism to sick infants. Let me make my stance clear again. Any doctrine that teaches a dying baby needs a last-second ordinance to make Christ willing or able to save them is not beautiful. It is not merciful. It is an insult to the Savior. Infants are not spiritually defective. They are not born guilty. They are not hanging over hell until someone gets water on their head. Jesus Christ is not weak. His grace is not trapped behind panic, ritual, or human permission. The real issue here is not baptism. It is what some people believe about Christ. If your theology makes the Savior less merciful than the parents begging Him to save their child, your theology is broken. I will never apologize for defending the innocence of children or the power of Jesus Christ to save them.

@Nullimus @UtahStateBar They are. Judges are evaluated by independent observers as well as attorneys, jurors, etc.

You can see the review form here. judges.utah.gov/s/survey-infor… The survey questions are worded in such a way that bias can be ignored. JPEC is nice but the ratings are based on inside baseball attorney reviews. This creates a conflict of interest because an attorney that is critical of a judge is going to be concerned about creating a bias when they are arguing before that judge. It creates a "scratch my back and I will scratch yours" environment. These reviews should be coming from the plaintiffs and defendants that appear before the court as well as their attorneys.

In Utah, judges are: ✔ Thoroughly vetted before being nominated by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate ✔ Evaluated regularly by an independent commission (JPEC) ✔ Held to strict ethical standards Before voting in retention elections, review the facts from the Utah Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission at judges.utah.gov Fair courts depend on informed voters.

When “The state” pays, your taxes go up, Vermonters.

Sen. Ron Johnson: “This is a PROFOUND revelation… The US FDA now admits COVID-19 vaccines KILLED American children.” Healthy kids — virtually ZERO risk from COVID — were FORCED by Biden mandates into lethal shots. Leaked FDA memo on child deaths: regulators confess their actions “we have harmed more children than we saved.” They KNEW the risks. They HID the signals. They MANDATED the deaths anyway. Mass murder by mandate. Where is the justice?

@MattTestifies People are entitled to worship as they wish. This provides comfort to the parents as they experience fear for their little ones and no one should deny that. Inviting the presence and comfort of the Divine is always holy.

If your theology sees a sick child and immediately goes to emergency baptism, your theology is the emergency.

@Ravious101 I did a 50 hr car ride in college with CCR’s greatest hits. It was fabulous.

8-hour car ride and you can only listen to one artist on repeat the whole time…I listen to a lot of music, especially on long drives, but I honestly don’t think I could pick just one easily. If I had to choose right now, I’d probably go with someone who has a big enough catalog that won’t drive me crazy after a few hours.What about you? Drop your one artist you’d actually listen to for 8 straight hours and why 👇 Real answers only — no trolling"

@BlessedLDS And how are they going to pay for the rest of its life? The birth is the cheap part. Is the government going to pay for everything?

Honestly, I think this bill is a fantastic idea. Making childbirth free will cut down on the amount of abortions (lots of abortions cite finances as a primary concern and reason for the procedure), AND it will encourage larger families, because the parents won't have to worry about going into parenthood in debt. facebook.com/share/1E9AehiL…

@omgsidewalks A bottle of pop. Very rare.

For those who didn't grow up privileged, name something you thought was luxury when you were a kid

@DrexelGuzy And go to his store in Riverwoods. It’s amazing.

@SamaHoole What is “cold pressed” milk???

Raw milk has been on the human table since we first convinced an aurochs to stand still long enough to be milked, roughly ten thousand years ago, and it has been quietly holding civilisations together ever since. It was there when the first Neolithic herders in Anatolia discovered that a lactating cow could feed a family through a winter that would otherwise have killed them. It was there when the Mongol horsemen rode for weeks across the steppe on fermented mare's milk, building the largest contiguous empire in human history on a diet that a modern nutritionist would flag as a public health emergency. It was there when the Maasai warriors of the Rift Valley lived almost entirely on raw milk, raw blood, and the occasional goat, and produced some of the tallest, leanest, most athletic human beings ever documented by Western medicine, who promptly measured them and went home confused. It was there when the Swiss children of the remote alpine valleys, studied by Weston Price in the 1930s, had no dental cavities, no tuberculosis, no rickets, and no chronic disease worth mentioning, on a diet of raw dairy from cows that grazed meadows their grandparents had grazed. It was there when the Masai herds moved with the rains, when the Samburu drank it warm from the udder, when the Fulani of West Africa built entire pastoral civilisations around the cow and the calabash. It was there in every English farmhouse for a thousand years. It was there in the French countryside, poured over bread, turned into cheese that predates the concept of France. It was there in the Russian dacha. It was there in the Indian village where the cow was sacred and the milk was sacred and the butter made from the milk was sacred, all for reasons that turned out to be metabolically sound as well as spiritual. It built teeth. It built bones. It built populations who could out-run, out-fight, and out-reproduce their grain-eating neighbours, which is why the pastoralists tended to win the wars and write the histories. And in all those thousands of years, across all those populations, across every climate where a ruminant could stand and be milked, it did not cause one chronic disease epidemic. Not one. The epidemics we have now arrived with pasteurisation, homogenisation, ultra-high-temperature processing, the stripping out of the fat, the addition of vitamin D to replace the vitamin D that was in the fat we removed, and the seventy-year campaign to convince people that the food that built them was dangerous and the reconstituted industrial version was safe. And now, in the year 2026, in several American states and most of the European Union, raw milk is labelled a biohazard. A biohazard. The substance that fed every infant mammal on Earth for two hundred million years. The food that the Mongols conquered Eurasia on. The drink that the Swiss children had clear skin and straight teeth on. The stuff that came out of the cow the way the cow intended, the way it had come out of every cow for every human who had ever drunk from one. Declared a public health hazard. Regulated by agencies. Banned from sale across state lines. Seized by armed officers in raids on Amish farmers. The oldest drink on the human table. Treated like uranium. It will always be the most confusing story arc in the history of the species.

@BYUFlorida They had incredible parents

Why do you think it’s so rare for someone to remain a faithful member and also be ultra successful in Hollywood? The only one I can think of is Donny Osmond

@NoblestCalling The new girls’ camp songs are going to be tricky

You're only a heritage Mormon if you know what the mia in mia maid means without looking it up

@yesknow Dangerous. Let the pros handle it so no one gets cut in half.

Security footage of a guy in a stuck elevator who rips the jammed doors open with raw strength, calmly directing women & kids out first before exiting himself. But elevator pros are warning: This is extremely dangerous. What do you think, hero move or reckless?

@WillieKerns4 @BurgessOwens They are soft on crime because of the legislature who establishes sentencing guidelines. Your anger is misplaced.

@BurgessOwens I have voted no to every judge in Utah since I moved here. They are way too soft on crime here. Especially crimes against children and sexual crimes. It's pretty disgusting for a supposedly conservative state.

Add to this the District Judge who was the “tip of the spear” of this Judicial overreach…Dianna Gibson. One Big Beautiful Utah Trifecta in Nov my friends … NO!!! On retaining in Nov

@WokeNeckism @BurgessOwens The governor

@BurgessOwens But who gets to appoint the replacements? Some RINO jerkoff probably.

@rsevan45 @Manhattva @VoteTrevorLee Go to judges.utah.gov

Why is there no law in Utah that requires statements providing basic information about judges on election ballots, including education and statistics as to how they ruled in certain cases? There is no information other than a name on the ballots. Not sufficient. @VoteTrevorLee @GOPUtah @KaiSchwemmer @rileybeesley @charliekirk11 @BasedMikeLee @BurgessOwens @heidi_balderree

Every single Utahn must vote. “NO” to retain these judges come election time. We shouldn’t have to look like this, when we have a Judicial Branch full of activists and people who conduct themselves like this.

Is this the corruption that is behind it all?

@EricCMeadows I grew up elsewhere. There was nothing for me there, and still is nothing for me there. Plus, it’s more expensive than Utah. They pleaded with all of us to stay, but none of us could. No jobs, no members, no life at all. Some places, you just have to leave.

Latter-day Saints Should Put Down Roots Outside the Hub of Utah: Building Zion Where We Are: I have hesitated to write this, but I’m going to be bold. The reason I post so much about Wisconsin is because I want good members to move here. It’s a wonderful place and we need you here. Anyone who lives outside the intermountain west has experienced the same thing on a regular basis. Ask anyone, and they will tell you this has happened. A ward, always eager for more families in an area with few members, has one move in due to a job transfer. They are enthusiastically welcomed in and integrated into the ward. After a year or two, the family then moves back to Utah. The ward feels deflated and discouraged. This happens all the time. Another scenario also frequently happens in these wards. Again, ask anyone, and they will tell you this has happened as well. A well established family has a college-aged child who decides to go to school in Utah. They leave the ward to move to Utah, and then they meet someone from there, get married, and stay there. The native ward feels deflated and discouraged. The parents of that child then feel pulled to move to Utah to be closer to their children. This is not an anti-Utah post, but a plea to people to consider putting down multi-generational roots in other places, too. When these remote wards lose good families, they completely change the dynamic of the primary or youth programs. Marriage-aged members have fewer potential prospects and have no choice but to look towards Utah. These remote wards also lose out on experience that comes from multi-generational experience in the church. If every college-aged member in my area stayed here and had families here, and every family that moved here stayed, the size of our wards and stakes would easily be double what they are now, but sadly, the pull to Utah is often a net-negative to the growth here. Lastly, Utah is increasingly becoming unlivable. Now may be the time to move to other places. Our forebears were willing to go to new places to establish a new Zion. We should be willing to today.
