@GoWithJordan_ I glorified my father growing up. He found great joy in me and my siblings. I glorified him even more when I became a father myself and made him a grandpa.

The single most man centered religion in the world is Mormonism. Mans goal in Mormonism is to become a god. Or "like God" for the Neo Mormons out there. Isa 43:7 You are here for Gods glory. The chief end of man is to glorify and enjoy God forever. Anything else is idolatry

@bluetwenty2 Out of curiosity, how many new followers did you earn from this masterpiece?

“Uh, do you mean Jacqueline”? #GoCougs

@freeboOnHere @bluetwenty2 Key and Peele substitute teach.

@bluetwenty2 i’m not understanding

@bluetwenty2 Well done.

@PTSPentax My son's vocal band opened for him when he played Tuacahn a few years ago and they hung out a bit in the green room. He said he was a super nice guy.

Jay Leno is just a class act. That’s all there is to it.

@Blkdrps @KimballCall @JohnRWoodJr I guess what I meant by the "alignment" comment is that #disagreebetter and #braverangels should applaud the civil well-reasoned post that @KimballCall made because it's the type debate and disagreement they are advocating. @JohnRWoodJr basically said as much in his response.

@sphatrick @KimballCall @JohnRWoodJr This is not in alignment w/ those fake programs, this actually wants to accomplish something, not lay down for a progressive agenda.

Here’s my concern @JohnRWoodJr and I’d love to hear your thoughts. I represent a growing body of conservative students at BYU and across Utah who are increasingly frustrated that Utah conservatives seem more interested in advocating for “niceness,” “civility,” and “bipartisanship” instead of advocating for our values. Your work, whether you like it or not, makes me and my friends feel hamstrung because whenever we start to stand for what we believe in (especially things that have become controversial in the era of political correctness) we get lectured into silence by fellow conservatives who are more concerned with sounding nice than standing on principle. To them, controversy = contention. Which means we can’t say what we really believe, or else we are the problem. This is why so many of us are impatient with the Disagree Better and Braver Angels programs. In the wake of Charlie’s death, this impatience boiled over. I was there on the front lines. I had friends at the shooting and I helped organize some community vigils for Charlie in Provo. I even wrote an Op-Ed for the Deseret News. And I remember the feeling of deep depression that came over me when I realized UVU leadership and many other Utah leaders remained unwilling to stand up for Charlie the way he deserved. It felt as if everything the unity and bipartisanship organizations and UVU did in response was meant to further their own agendas, rather than pay tribute the actual conservative movement Charlie stood for. (For instance, the “Unity Vigil” which had almost no reference to Charlie or his life and values.) We saw this as supremely disrespectful to both us and the legacy of Charlie Kirk. And now this treatment of us—ignoring us, shaming us, lecturing us—has culminated in Sharon McMahon, a liberal who takes advantage of the idealistic rhetoric that bipartisan movements use to further a progressive agenda with low-information voters and a woman who openly slandered Charlie Kirk, being asked to be the commencement speaker in the very school year Charlie was murdered. And because of that, we’re furious. And we won’t be easily quieted by this thread. Your work to organize in the wake of Charlie’s death may have been well-intentioned, but we felt silenced, disrespected, and like our recently martyred hero was being weaponized against us. I hope your conviction for bipartisanship and reducing polarization will lead you to understand where we’re coming from, and why we still feel hurt, ignored, and hated.

@SteelToeTruth @JakeSherman @allymutnick @PunchbowlNews Blouin already admitted the posts happened and apologized.

@JakeSherman @allymutnick @PunchbowlNews I'd like to know who released the posts . Who is the " reporter " ? Just curious .

>@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-…

@SteelToeTruth @JakeSherman @allymutnick @PunchbowlNews @KariLisonbee If anything Republicans would hope he wins the Democratic primary and save all of this ammunition for the general election.

@JakeSherman @allymutnick @PunchbowlNews Sounds and looks like a Republican Party smear . Is this a @KariLisonbee campaign tactic ? I wouldn't put it past the GOP to do something like this .

@BasedMikeLee While I think @UVU's choice of commencement speaker this year is pretty tone deaf, I'm not a fan of de-platforming people.

Utah Valley University is disrespecting the tens of millions of Americans who are still mourning Charlie Kirk’s death by scheduling Sharon McMahon—who defamed Charlie within hours after he was murdered on UVU’s campus—as its commencement speaker Should UVU find another speaker?

@geoffjBYU I've been advocating for the Take a Breath party for years.

I think someone should start the "Normie Party" in America. We normies far outnumber to hardcore lefties and hardcore righties running the two current major parties. The Normie Party slogan can be "WHY CANT YOU JUST BE NORMAL?" or maybe "NORMIES RISE UP"

@JohnRWoodJr Good thread, @JohnRWoodJr .

Data Republican! I am the organizer of the post-Kirk assasination event you're basing this conspiracy on; Tis I, who have assembled these forces in seditious collusion. I, John Wood Jr., am the figure in the shadows pulling the strings. With your permision here's what I say:

@KaelBen3b @RepBurgessOwens @grok what did Sharon McMahon say about Chaarlie Kirk after his assassination.

Utah Valley University’s decision to hand its commencement stage to Sharon McMahon is not just wrong. It is morally bankrupt. On a campus still scarred by the murder of Charlie Kirk, UVU has chosen a speaker who, in that moment of national grief, could not muster the basic decency to honor a life lost. Instead, she chose to diminish it. That is not leadership. It is arrogance, self-righteousness, and condescension posing as virtue. UVU did not just tolerate that behavior. They rewarded it. This is a stunning failure of judgment by an institution that should know better and a speaker who has shown she does not. Charlie Kirk was a husband, a patriot, and a man who inspired millions of young Americans to stand up and engage. His life deserves respect. His wife deserves compassion. What UVU is offering instead is contempt. This decision is an insult to every student, every family, and every decent person who expects more from a university. UVU should reverse course immediately. @UVU @charliekirk11

@AndrewBragg5555 @EricCMeadows I've always just assumed they were dying a Y for BYU.

I love Hawaii and its culture, but man, the young LDS from Utah really have started trying to co-opt this hard for the last couple of decades. I’ve seen many photos of white elders from Utah posing in their missionary photos in like Denmark throwing up hang loose. What are you even doing😑

When someone stands up to bear their testimony and shouts “ALOHA”, then a few from the congregation repeat it half-heartedly, so he demands everyone does better and shouts it even louder. (A visitor to our ward did this yesterday, who is not Hawaiian.)

@kristenmag Trick question. The last two are a sentence.

If you know how to properly use these words in a sentence, we can be friends… your/you’re its/it’s less/fewer men/women commies/suck

@Schneider_CM 50

All day long, my dog begs me to entertain her, as if I am Julie the Cruise Director. And when I use this line to anyone under 60 years old, they have no idea what I am referencing.

@FiredUpCoug @SpideYstow ✋️

@SpideYstow Did anyone else think that AJ was getting a haircut in this picture?

Ace Dybantsa still reppin the Y.

@collinsworth55 ...and The Chosen, right... ?

With only 25 minutes for a lesson I’m hoping we don’t have to reference podcasts now and can stick to the doctrine!! 😂

@kirkmckee13 @guildmanpro @BenZeisloft Yes. I was referring to the original post.

@sphatrick @guildmanpro @BenZeisloft If you're referring to the OP, correct

Utah leads the nation in antidepressant use and plastic surgery, and according to some studies, pornography. Under the surface of a works-based religious system that demands outward perfection is a world of quiet misery and secret depravity. Just like every other legalistic false religion, the only possible outcomes are pride or despair, and the only solution is the gospel of Jesus Christ.

@kirkmckee13 @guildmanpro @BenZeisloft Also not a true statistic...

@guildmanpro @BenZeisloft lol the data actually shows they are happier, less mentally ill, and more stable when you break it down by religion. There's a reason he chose a statistic for Utah and not mormons, and it's not an honest reason.
