Many years ago, my husband and I found this -though each of us has forgotten to do a few of these each day - we hold fast to it and it's been an anchor to forging our successful marriage. First and foremost, we hold Jesus between us- the rest is up to us.

Then plainly:
The indictment is not that progressivism occasionally tolerates vice. It is that much of modern progressivism confers moral legitimacy on things that injure people, then treats resistance to those injuries as the sin.
Pornography does not merely “liberate sexuality.” It trains men to consume women, trains women to accept being consumed, and then calls the resulting degradation freedom.
A sexual culture organized around male appetite does not liberate women when women still bear the greater risks of pregnancy, abandonment, coercion, violence, humiliation, and bodily vulnerability. Calling that liberation does not alter who pays.
Women do not gain equality when male claims are allowed to override female privacy, sports, prisons, shelters, language, medical categories, or sex-based association. When women are ordered to surrender those things and condemned for refusing, that is not inclusion. It is domination of women dressed as compassion.
Race discrimination does not cease to be racism because the target is white. If institutions sort, exclude, stigmatize, or morally burden people because they are white, that is racism. “Equity” does not sanctify it.
A religion does not become benign because its adherents are locally fewer in number. Nor does Christianity become uniquely suspect because it is historically native to the West. When one faith receives indulgence and another receives suspicion according to an identity hierarchy, that is not pluralism. It is favoritism and religious prejudice.
A criminal does not become more morally important than his victim because his biography is politically useful. Mercy without justice is not mercy. It is abandonment of the innocent.
Children are not owed affirmation of every desire or identity claim that adults place before them. They are owed protection, judgment, restraint, and adults willing to say no.
Gambling companies do not become public benefactors because the state taxes them. Pornographers do not become liberators because they use feminist vocabulary. Cannabis dependence does not become harmless because it is legal. Appetite does not become virtue because commerce and politics profit from it.
And the family is not an antiquated obstacle standing between the individual and freedom. It is one of the principal institutions by which men are bound to duty, women and children gain durable claims upon others, and one generation accepts responsibility for the next. A culture that destroys those bonds and then offers bureaucracy, therapy, medication, entertainment, and consumption as substitutes has not liberated people. It has left them alone.
That is the charge.
The lie is not merely that these harms are regrettable side effects. The lie is that the harms themselves are progress.
The woman who objects is called hateful.
The parent who objects is called ignorant.
The Christian who objects is called reactionary.
The white person who objects to racial discrimination is told racism cannot really apply to him.
The Jew who objects to antisemitism is told to account first for Israel.
The citizen who asks why his country’s inherited norms must continually yield is told that his wish for continuity is itself suspect.
And thus the trick is completed: the injured person is placed in the dock, while the ideology that injured him assumes the robes of the judge.
That is not merely foolish. It is a corruption of moral judgment.
Cicero would ask whether a republic can endure when law ceases to be common.
Seneca would ask what sort of civilization calls surrender to appetite freedom.
Epictetus would ask by what right one citizen claims possession of another’s conscience, body, speech, or boundaries.
Marcus would ask what duties we have abandoned while congratulating ourselves on our virtue.
And Tacitus would recognize the darkest part immediately:
the language has been corrupted so thoroughly that the name of the vice is now used for the virtue that opposes it.

"Is it good for the State of Utah?"
According to who? Because we didn't elect Natalie Gochnour, or Lincoln Hill Partners, or the MIDA board, or anyone else to decide what's good for the state of Utah, but they certainly inform many of the unpopular laws and policies of the last decade.
The public is telling you things alright: They're not happy because they've been ignored.

A staggering number of David’s Psalms circle a single, relentless demand: that God annihilate the wicked, and do it quickly. The man who prayed them would not have survived the answer.
He asks God to break their teeth, drag them into the nets they hid for others, and strike with terrifying speed. When heaven moves too slowly, he presses again: Why do the wicked prosper? How long, O Lord?
At the time, David’s moral geometry was simple. He was a fugitive hiding in caves while King Saul hunted him with the machinery of an empire. In Adullam, the lines were clean. David was the righteous victim; his enemies were the oppressors; his prayers were the desperate cries of a man begging God to level an impossible playing field.
Then David got the throne. And the geometry collapsed.
From the palace balcony, he becomes the very archetype he had spent years cursing. He spots Bathsheba. He takes her. When she becomes pregnant, he writes a murder contract, forcing her husband, Uriah, to carry his own death sentence to the front lines. Uriah dies. David takes the widow.
Then came nearly a year in which Scripture records no confession, no repentance, and no confrontation. David lived under the comfortable presumption of sovereign immunity. He had become the powerful man who crushes the weak and assumed heaven didn’t notice.
When Nathan enters the throne room, he tells a story: a rich landowner with vast herds steals and slaughters a poor neighbor’s single, cherished pet lamb.
David’s prosecutorial instinct detonates. He flies into a rage and passes sentence: The man deserves to die, and must restore the lamb fourfold because he showed no pity.
Nathan looks at him and delivers the four words that should haunt anyone in love with their own moral outrage:
“You are the man.”
David had laid his own trap. He declared a death sentence on himself, and the fourfold restitution he demanded became the currency of his family’s destruction. Four of his sons died untimely deaths. The sword never left his house. The pit David dug was the pit he fell into.
The great theological irony of David’s life though is that if God had answered David’s earlier prayers at the speed he demanded, David would have been dead before Bathsheba’s child drew its first breath.
If heaven operated on the hair-trigger timeline of human indignation, judgment would have struck the palace the moment Uriah fell. David would never have made it to Nathan. No space to confront his depravity, no season to mourn, and no life left to utter, “I have sinned against the Lord,” no breath left to write Psalm 51.
The very slowness of God that David spent years complaining about was the only reason he survived his own reign.
The cry of “How long, O Lord?” is not foreign to Scripture. The martyrs beneath the altar in Revelation raise it too. What Scripture never grants us is a stopwatch on everyone’s guilt except our own.
We are recklessly impatient in our prayers for justice. When wronged, we demand cosmic vindication yesterday. We treat God’s hesitation as indifference, or worse, incompetence.
We forget that if God answered our prayers for judgment with the speed we demand for others, none of us would survive our hypocrisy. The standard we want applied to our enemies would incinerate us when our private failures catch up with our public righteousness.
The delay of God is mercy with a long horizon: the terrifying, tender patience of a God who refuses to execute the wicked on our schedule because He intends to leave room for repentance on His.
Before you ask heaven to move fast against the evil in front of you, make sure you can survive the speed of your own theology.

If you’re right wing and you can’t admit liberals (not communists) are way better at art and design and boutique coffee shops and restaurants, you’re not living in reality.
If you’re left wing and you can’t admit conservatives are way better at running cities and businesses and police departments, you’re not living in reality.
You step inside a beautiful coffee shop in the PNW and think “man, these liberals are great at this stuff…conservatives should take notes.” Then the moment you step outside and trip over a homeless drug zombie shooting up fentanyl on the sidewalk, you think “man these liberals are terrible at this stuff…they should really take notes from conservatives”
Communists make disgusting anti-beauty art, but classical liberals aren’t like that. Put the libs in charge of the coffee shops, put the conservatives in charge of city hall. This is how you get a city that is beautiful, clean, and functional.
If you can’t accept that, you need to check your tribalism. We are never getting rid of each other, so figure out how we strike a balance or else the communists swoop in and take everything from us while we quarrel over stupid bullshit…which is exactly what’s happening now.

In the absence of an agreement between the Senate and White House about recess appointments, regular pro forma sessions are the norm in the modern Senate, with majority-party senators each taking turns presiding—even if we’d rather be doing actual work in session.
I’ve been in close contact with the White House in recent months on the issue, and have made clear that the moment the White House is ready to make a move in that direction, I will support them in supporting recess appointments and opposing pro forma sessions.
That moment has not yet arrived, but when it does I will step into action.

Every single federal judicial vacancy needs to be filled in the lame duck session. The Senate should pull all-nighters for as long as it takes. Democrats wont confirm a single Trump judge once they take over.

I never had any desire or ambition in politics. I came in to protect my family from an out-of-control government agency that tried to bankrupt me. And we beat them down and protected others from that type of overreach. While in office I put my business and family life on hold to work on needed reforms for our state government.
I repealed the remaining COVID era rules and powers the state had granted itself and to public health authorities, partnering with them to start rebuilding public trust. I spearheaded much of the judiciary reforms that led to a fresh supreme court, more transparency, and a fairer system that protects all Utah from another overreaching branch. I ended archaic executive rules, reformed the governor's agencies’ powers and established new oversight metrics to rein in the Executive Branch. I modified legislative rules and constantly rattled the power structure of the House and Senate to bring the Legislative Branch back to its core mission and stop the power creep.
I also ran bills for my city, my neighbors and my other constituents. From fixing bad hiring practices from certain state agencies, to protecting personal data for individuals, to gun safety and food for hungry school kids, all without any tax increases. I passed legislation that helped WVC with the massive spike in unlicensed and uninsured motorists causing accidents, and this legislation will lead to lower insurance rates and safer streets. I was able to secure State funding for a new training facility in West Valley for law enforcement and school guardians.
I went full throttle every session, and wasted no time or effort. I have nothing but gratitude for my time serving and have zero regrets. I could not be more satisfied with what I have accomplished that will impact Utah in a good way for generations. My wife is also quite happy I get to return home and start our next adventure together.
There are some that would like to pretend I had other reasons or motives for being here, and have tried pathetically to smear me and my work. I am reminded of this quote:
“I pray that when I (leave office), all of hell will rejoice that I am out of the fight.”
From the screeching and profane messages sent my way, I can only say: Mission accomplished.

My wife has taught high school in Tokyo for twenty years.
Every year, a few of her students spend a year living with a family in America. When they come home, she asks each of them one question.
"What do you miss?"
She expects hamburgers.
She almost never gets hamburgers.
And these aren't old stories. Most of these kids came home in the last two years.
"Every time I left the house, my host mom said, 'Text me when you get there.' In Japan, nobody needs to know where I am. In Ohio, somebody always did." (Mina, 17, Ohio)
"If you walk toward a door, an American will hold it open. Even if you are very far away. So you have to run. I ran to so many doors." (Itsuki, 16, Georgia)
"My host brother screamed on the floor of a grocery store. A stranger walked by and said to my host mom, 'You're doing great, Mama.' She almost cried. I didn't know strangers were allowed to say that." (Aoi, 17, Texas)
"We went away for the weekend and left our trash can at the curb. When we got back, it was by the garage. Nobody said who. My host dad said if it had been there one more day, the neighbor would have knocked." (Haruto, 16, Minnesota)
"A car got stuck in the snow in front of our house. Four men came out of four houses. Nobody called them. They pushed, the car drove away, and they went back inside without saying their names." (Ren, 17, Michigan)
"Every American has jumper cables. Maybe half of them know which clip goes where. The other half help anyway." (Shin, 16, Montana)
"In July, my host family put a cooler on the porch. Cold water, snacks, and a sign: 'For our delivery drivers. Thank you!' I asked if they knew the drivers. They said no." (Nanami, 16, Arizona)
"Downtown, there are banners on the lampposts. Photos of soldiers from the town. Some old, some very young. My host grandpa walked me down the street and told me every name." (Yuna, 16, Iowa)
"I got a C-plus on my first test. My host dad said, 'I'm proud of you,' and put it on the fridge. In Japan, nobody is proud of a C-plus." (Takeru, 17, Pennsylvania)
Then the quietest girl in the class raised her hand.
Sora. Seventeen. Missouri.
"Nobody asks me 'home safe?' anymore," she said.
She was wrong.
In September, there was a typhoon warning for Tokyo. At 2 a.m., Sora's phone lit up.
It was her host mom. In Missouri. Watching the weather in a country she had never been to.
"Saw the storm. You home safe?"
Sora told my wife she cried for a long time. Then she typed the answer she had typed a hundred times, from football games and friends' driveways.
"Home safe."
Her host mom wrote back one line.
"Good. That's all I needed."
My wife has asked that question for twenty years. Not one kid has ever said they missed how big America is.
They miss how America says goodbye. And how it checks that you got home.
So, America. You think you've lost something.
You haven't. It's on a porch in Arizona. It's pushing a car in Michigan. It's awake at 2 a.m. in Missouri, watching our weather.
You don't remember doing any of it.
A kid in Tokyo will never forget.

UTAH SOIL MOISTURE IS AT RECORD HIGHS. 🌧️
Take a look at this. Statewide soil moisture across Utah has surged to levels never recorded before for this time of year.
Here’s what really stands out: Our current soil moisture levels are more typical of what we would normally see during peak spring runoff in May. We’re seeing those levels in early November.
After years of drought concerns, this is a remarkable turnaround.
A few things worth pointing out:
• Soil moisture is measured at depths of 8 and 20 inches.
• Current statewide levels are above the previous historical maximum.
• We’re essentially starting November with soil moisture more typical of late spring.
• This is a significant improvement heading into the winter months.
This doesn’t erase our long-term drought concerns, and we still need a healthy snowpack this winter. But the progress we’ve made over the last several weeks is impressive.
Utah needed the moisture. And we’re finally seeing some major improvements in the numbers. What a difference this fall has made.

I asked 50 Japanese people, ages 9 to 91, one question.
"What do you admire most about Americans?"
Here are the top answers.
10. "They clap when the plane lands." (Office worker, 34)
9. "They say 'I love you' every time they hang up the phone. Even men. Even to other men." (Taxi driver, 61)
8. "A stranger told me she liked my shoes. Then she just walked away. She didn't want anything." (High school girl, 16)
7. "They thank the bus driver when they get off." (Bus driver, 55. He got emotional saying this.)
6. "They tell you their whole life story in the grocery line. I know about one man's divorce, his boat, and his knee surgery. We knew each other for four minutes." (My mother, 64)
5. "They stand for the anthem at a children's baseball game." (Little League coach, 47)
4. "When they lose, they shake hands and say 'good game.' And they mean it." (Sota, 12)
3. "They fly the flag on a regular Tuesday. No holiday. Just because." (Nurse, 28)
2. "They help a stranger push a car out of the snow, then leave without saying their name." (My cousin's husband, 52, who got stuck in Colorado once)
And the number one answer came from the oldest person I asked. My grandfather. He's 91.
He thought about it for a long time.
Then he said:
"They still believe tomorrow will be better than today."
I asked him what he meant.
"In 1946, we had nothing," he said. "The American soldiers I met were young and far from home. But they acted like the future was coming, and it was going to be good. After a while, we started to believe them."
I asked him if he thought Americans still believe that.
He nodded slowly.
"Tell them," he said, "not to stop."

Pèp ayisyen,
Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti.
Nou se yon peyi modès k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz.
Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo.
Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo.
Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an.
Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo.
Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti.
“Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.”
2 Kwonik 7:14
Ede nou ede Ayiti.
Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism.
You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.
Bro.
You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.
You live in a constitutional republic.
Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.
The modern left's definition of fascism:
You love your country? Fascist.
You want to enforce the border? Racist.
You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.
You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow.
Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.
But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country.
But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.
Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.
Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.
Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.
Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.
Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.
Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.
Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign.
Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote.
But Trump is the king. Okay buddy.
You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours.
And they have you in the streets carrying their water.
The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned.
No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.
Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.
During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.
But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression.
The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration.
Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check.
That's how you keep power without wearing a crown.
Biden built a censorship machine.
Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire."
They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho...
Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley.
And it doesn't stop at speech.
The extreme left justifies taking children from families.
Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene.
The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father.
Same playbook.
During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital.
But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously.
$2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.
January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings.
Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.
Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.
CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.
75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.
Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me." They say.
Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated.
One side talks. The other side screams.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched
Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. But Marxism.
500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs.
The signs were ready before you were even angry.
AND its all coming again .... if the left gain any power.
