    It’s Not All Kittens And Unicorns

    The LDS Church's influence in Utah is stronger than any other church's in any other state. A theocracy is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind.

    The Utah theocracy must end

    Joe Biden should not enter the 2020 race. He still has political clout and he has the grit and experience to work the system — but not as a president.

    Why Joe Biden should not enter the 2020 presidential race
