Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Wednesday that the Justice Department's decision to investigate James Comey for his "86 47" Instagram post does not mean that everyone who posts or displays those numbers will be prosecuted. abcnews.link/vrN8jBl

The idea that the Rams should have punted on a future QB they love in the name of a “win-now” WR is shortsighted and foolish. No rookie can be expected to swing his team’s championship probability that much.





Stribling going at number 33 and not in the first round is somewhat funny to me. That’s all I got lol








Someone DM’d me about a conversation he had with a Kirton McConkie lawyer in his ward last Sunday about the direction the LDS Church may be going with lawsuits. For context, he’s in a mixed-faith marriage, attended church last Sunday for family reasons, and asked to stay anonymous. Take it for what it’s worth. This is copied directly from the DMs: In short KM has received marching orders to go after everyone. This started under Nelson. But off the leash under the lawyer prophet oaks. Expect more excommunications to come with a total ban from church property. He bragged that practically forces people to move away from Utah since the church owns all kinds of property. He’s never met me and doesn’t know I’m exmo. LOL [Me: I need more:] Ok. Can’t doxx myself by posting about the KM guy but here is the gist of what he proudly said to me. I asked him a softball question about people suing for their tithing back followed by laughing that it an easy way to go to hell. “You’re not wrong, but it’s going to come back to bite them in this life too. You may not have noticed, but the gloves are off now. The church is tired of being persecuted and driven out of communities. We are fighting back. They can’t treat us like they did in the early days. The brethren have given us the green light to go after these people that get in the way of our temple building and defame our name. I can’t go into specifics but anyone who sues the church without good reason is going to regret it very soon. And there really is no good reason TO SUE GOD.” You are going to sue them back? “All I can say is that option is on the table. We have lots of resources, god is on our side and we never give up. We don’t lose because losing looks bad for the church. One option we have if someone is persecuting us is we ban them from all church property for life. They get a case and edit and trespass warning from us. Doesn’t seem like a big deal but that makes is so you almost can’t go anywhere in Utah, downtown, church lands, parking lots whatever. People have to move away. The Lord is cleaning house. So don’t worry. We’ll get through this. God put the right prophet in place for this battle.”







The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has officially filed a lawsuit against the exmormon podcast Mormon Stories hosted by John Dehlin. This is the "unreasonable" demand that led to John Dehlin to walk away from mediation, and led the Church to finally pull the trigger









If you could give one piece of advice to Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch before the draft, and they HAVE TO act on it, what are you telling them?
