@tykattenhorn @blake_surerus I can see the resemblance

@blake_surerus Patty is my 6th great grandmother. Thanks for this post.

To more fully celebrate Pioneer Day this year, I am going through one of my pioneer ancestors journals about her experience crossing the plains in 1847. Here is one experience from the diary of Patty Sessions.

@mckaycoppins The orchestration of the timing seems a bit creepy (and non-scientific).

A weird thing is happening where consensus is starting to turn against school mask mandates in blue states with Democratic governors, just as liberal school districts in Virginia are fighting the new Republican governor to keep them in place.

@ByronYork CNN may need a Trump win in 2024 to survive.

What I wrote is entirely accurate. ow.ly/hGUu30s9F96 ow.ly/PWaN30s9F9K twitter.com/texasvoter817/…

@WSJ Does management know that the vaccine doesn’t prevent getting or spreading Covid? They may want to consider making decisions based on science.

A week after Carhartt declared it was keeping its Covid-19 vaccine mandate in place, the company defended its plans despite growing pushback. "We stand behind our decision because we believe vaccines are necessary to protect our workforce." on.wsj.com/3Kwvx83

@ByronYork Guessing 99% of Republicans in favor of him running again?

New poll shows how dismal Joe Biden's 2024 prospects might be. Just 34% of registered voters want him to run again, versus 58% who don't. Terrible numbers among independents: 23% run again, 67% don't. Among Dems, an anemic 63% say run again, 28% no. 1/3 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-…

I believe BYU just won the Pac-12 championship.

@Softykjr Not likely to take a step down for UW: 1, Big 12 > Pac-12 hoops 2. 20k fans at BYU > 4k fans at UW 3. BYU player pipeline > UW rebuild project

If Hopkins is let go, UW should make a run at Mark Pope. Former Husky. Newport Knight. Bring him home

@dGod23 I mean, winning the Pac-12 wouldn’t be as exciting as winning a conference like the Big12 but it’s a bit better than winning the MWC 🤷‍♂️

<Narrator>: They are, in fact, not in the drivers seat to win the Pac 12

@dGod23 BYU is still in the drivers seat to win the Pac-12. Even a loss today wouldn’t change that.

What does BYU play for at this point? They can win the rest of their games or go 1-5 and they end up with the same postseason destination. Sounds intriguing as a fan.

@DavidDJJames Only if it is in BYU’s best interest. Teams with a national identity (BYU) have more to lose than gain by playing feisty regional teams (Utah).

When BYU joins the Big 12 should it continue to play Utah and/or Utah State?

It's a good thing BYU got that Big 12 invite when it did because I'm not sure Pac-12 teams should keep scheduling them. Cougs 3, Pac-12 0.

@WSJ I have to ask: what happens when you turn 65?

An FDA panel endorsed booster shots for people aged 65 and older, and those at high risk of severe Covid. It earlier rejected boosters for people 16 and older. on.wsj.com/3EDzDsr

@DanCrenshawTX She accepted responsibility and didn’t blame others. Refreshing response.

It’s worth noting that Sha'Carri Richardson has responded to all this with pure class, and I think Americans (but especially her fellow Texans) are going to be cheering her on as she wins a gold medal one day.

@DanCrenshawTX Is showing ID at the airport a “flying restriction”? How come no one is protesting ID requirements at the airport?

Showing an ID is not a “voting restriction.” Just...stop.

@ScottPresler ID is required to fly. How come we never hear protests about air travel being unfair?

VICTORY: Since November 2020, we’ve been lobbying legislators for election integrity. Today, Georgia’s governor signed a bill into law, which requires voter ID for absentee ballots. Let’s continue the fight for fair & free elections across the country. google.com/amp/s/www.brei…

@MathesonJess Ever notice how the only people who complain about tithing are those who don’t pay it? 🤔

@roddywhiteTV I think @roddywhiteTV just hoping ZW drops to his Falcons at #4. Sorry Roddy, not happening l...

People gone say u hating on Zach but I’m not he a good player he played good this year but he isn’t a top 10 pick based on what I see. He is average at best athlete and as u can see in today’s NFL that don’t work it’s a trend going on it’s called mobility he ain’t got that.

@WestCoastCFB An anonymous quote of course. Sounds to me like this NFC Director is hoping ZW will drop so that his team gets a shot at him...

Harsh quote from an NFC Director on BYU QB Zach Wilson in this article on Walter Football: “(Wilson) has character concerns, rich kid who is an entitled brat - uncle owns Jet Blue, parents are a pain, not a leader, selfish, and he's a know-it-all.” walterfootball.com/nflhotpress/ar…

@PeteThamel @AJeffreyCall Why would Sitake take a step down for Arizona? Makes no sense.

Candidates to replace Kevin Sumlin at Arizona: Boise's Bryan Harsin, BYU's Kalani Sitake, Nevada's Jay Norvell, Navy's Ken Niumatalolo, SJSU's Brent Brennan, Oregon DC Andy Avalos, USC OC Graham Harrell and Weber State's Jay Hill.

@kbohls @TotalBlueSports It should be obvious to anyone at this point that the CFP rankings aren’t legitimate. P5’s want to keep all that bowl money but their selfishness may prevent fans from seeing a very talented BYU team in a NY6.

It's totally absurd that BYU is ranked 13th in CFP. I'm guessing if unlimited scheduling is possible and Cougars were 25-0, they might be 12th. Put them in SEC uniforms, and they might be 3rd.
