“Men are the caretakers of women, as men have been provisioned by God over women…”
Great Bible verse, right? Except it’s not. It’s from the Quran. And that’s what this garbage is starting to sound like.
Christian nationalist pastor Brian Sauvé says women should not have access to social media unless "some competent man is curating and blocking and directing and taking a look at what's going on." peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…

I just want a party that follows the Constitution.
Is that too much to ask? 🤷🏻♂️

Xi is thinking that he cannot fathom his good fortune that this ridiculous insecure easily manipulated childlike oaf has somehow managed to spend the past decade+ as his supposed greatest geopolitical foe & simultaneous fangirl.

She sang it in original key very hard for a woman but looks like its easy for her.

1991 was an insane year for music: GNR’s Use Your Illusion I & II came out the week before; Pearl Jam’s Ten came out a month before and Achtung Baby would be six weeks later.

This is grotesque behavior. Joe Biden was an American president. Xi is a communist dictator, and the head of a foreign state. Our internal divisions are not fair game in this context. nitter.cf/MargoMartin47/status/2…

Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."

Trump’s net worth hit $7 billion in 2026.
That’s triple where it was in early 2024, according to Forbes data.

The president is making so much money that he is now worth 7 billion dollars and you can’t afford to fill your car up with gas because it’s too expensive—-this seems like an obvious midterm message

In a less crowded, less screwy, and less perilous time, this story would be dominating the news. apnews.com/article/trump-jr-…

Kalshi hired Donald Trump Jr as a paid strategic advisor and gave him a $300k equity stake.
Kalshi is now asking the CFTC, part of Trump’s executive branch, to let people gamble more, with money they don’t have.
This is, by far, the most corrupt family in U.S. history.

"In 2025, the first year of the second Trump administration, state control of the US economy grew, and 15 countries now have less state control than the United States.... Moving from 2nd to 16th in a single year is a large change."

Gambling has become interwoven with sports fandom.
It is impossible to follow sports now without betting lines, odds and gambling platforms being shoved down your throat.
Latter-day Saint men have an opportunity to lead a coalition that separates gambling from sports and re-emphasizes the 2nd point that @mckaycoppins lays out here.
Sports betting is gambling. Gambling is addictive and has incredibly harmful effects. I have seen it impact my peers while at BYU and since.
We should re-establish our standard on gambling, continue to teach positive financial habits and pursue sports fandom that isn't attached to betting and destructive behaviors.
A couple observations after speaking on four college campuses in Utah about America's sports betting boom:
1. Students who want to gamble are finding a way, despite the state's gambling prohibition.
2. The cultural stigma around the practice is evaporating. Many young LDS men don't seem to think of gambling in moral terms—and many don't even think of sports betting as gambling at all.

In 1987, during the Frankfurt Germany Temple open house, I had the opportunity to speak with a national German television network about my faith and why temples are so precious to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I still remember the joy of bearing witness that the temple is the house of the Lord—a place of peace, covenants, and eternal hope.
Next year, exactly 40 years after that interview, we will celebrate the renovated Salt Lake Temple. Through the years, my love for the Lord’s holy house has only deepened. Temples remind us that God’s plan is filled with light, purpose, and promise.
We look forward with great joy to welcoming friends from around the world to come and see this beautiful and sacred house of the Lord.

"Once a man who had been slandered by a newspaper came to Edward Everett asking what to do about it. Said Everett,
“Do nothing! Half the people who bought the paper never saw the article.
"Half of those who saw it, did not read it.
"Half of those who read it, did not understand it.
"Half of those who understood it, did not believe it.
"Half of those who believed it are of no account anyway.”
I remember hearing this story quoted by Pres. Hinckley. It has stuck with me for 19 years now.
Several elements from the rest of his talk lodged in my mind that day, too. The story of the piece of string. Laughing at the swearing man. It's a great talk, and seems especially appropriate right now. Do yourself a favor and revisit this landmark talk-- you might even say, "the OG peacemaker talk." 😉

Church News this week, Sept. 13-18
President @OaksDallinH, President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, spoke at the Washington National Cathedral on the eve of Constitution Day. He shared principles he learned from 70 years of studying the U.S. constitution and prayed that individuals will all strive to be peacemakers in a diverse, divided world.
In temple news, the Knoxville Tennessee Temple and Smithfield Utah Temple will be dedicated next March and April, respectively. And the groundbreakings for the Cincinnati Ohio Temple and La Paz Bolivia Temple will be this November.
Elder @RonaldARasband of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles ministered to Haitian Latter-day Saints at the Dominican Republic border. He called it a heavenly experience and a sacred privilege.
Sister Kristin M. Yee, second counselor in the Relief Society general presidency, saw great faith in her Europe Central Area ministry. The agenda in Germany, Austria, Cyprus and Spain focused on “the one,” as well as discipleship and temple blessings.
And this month Sister Andrea Muñoz Spannaus of the Young Women general presidency ministered in five countries over ten days in the Africa South Area. She taught about the expanded “For the Strength of Youth” guide and Sunday curriculum. And she invited youth to build their lives on Jesus Christ.
Children can learn about families in the September Friend to Friend with Elder @Gerald_Causse of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and the Primary general presidency. The Friend to Friend episode shows children learning from "The Family Proclamation" and sharing family traditions, such as making crepes together with Elder and Sister Caussé.
