Watching the Olympics brings back memories of the Salt Lake 2002 games. I sold pins and ended up with a great collection, some rare. Many great experiences, including booing George Bush from the front row at the Opening Ceremonies.

Great News for the U. S. A.! (Besides the great hockey win.)

Andy Borowitz posted this somewhere.

A Sing-in for hope and solidarity

Hold on brother, Jesse Jackson There's a better world a'coming Where a man can hope a man will show some heart You just keep right on believing In the better side of human They ain't ready for it yet, but it's a start youtu.be/_8N2AKdnzeA?...

Wow.

This op-ed explains a lot about McCay's effort to destroy this tax relief program for low-income seniors. He's worked against it for years. www.deseret.com/opinion/2026...

Never forget.

Didn't care for the objectification of the women, but these two messages hit right with me.

NOOOOOO!! DON'T EVER TAKE A GUN TO A PROTEST!!!! Except when you and the yahoos in the Bundy crowd decide to ride over protected Native American sites to protest a closure of an illegal path while law enforcement watched. Recapture Canyon, Utah 2014.

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign. Gregory Bovino must also be fired. No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

In front of the Immigration Office.

Thousands in Smog Lake City march from the Federal Building to the Immigration Office in support of our brothers and sisters in Minnesota.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Words from a great, wise man. Small things add up. We shall overcome. Keep the faith, and the love in your heart.

I took this one in Vegas April 27, 1991. The Silver Bowl. Santana opened. Bob autographed it the following November when he came through town with Rob Wasserman. Yes, it says "Jouney."

More Bob.

RIP Bob Weir.

Join us in telling ICE to get out. These violent thugs are not wanted or needed.

On Fareed Zakaria's GPS program on CNN this past Sunday morning, Richard Haas and Zanny Minton Beddoes gave some excellent insight into the Venezuela situation. Go to the 8:52 mark. www.cnn.com/audio/podcas...

I'd bet over 200 million Americans had these thought in the last 36 hours.

Starting 2026 in a GREAT way with this wonderful gift from two AMAZING musicians, Joey and Kenneth, The Milk Carton Kids. A just released concert video on You Tube. If they get near your town, go see them. So happy to be able to share this. I love these guys. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrqQ...

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Merry Christmas in the season of love.

Happy Solstice to all. Bring us some light!!!!

Please check out this amazing video by a great singer-songwriter by the name of Anke Summerhill. So poignant and so relevant to what's happening in our country these days. PLEASE PASS IT AROUND! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACRr...

Pat Bagley's latest for the SL Tribune.

Utah's "Congressional Four Corners" is no more and "Boundary Pass" goes into oblivion as a Utah judge gives the legislature a BIG MIDDLE FINGER and throws out the gerrymandered maps that eviscerated representation for any Democrats in Salt Lake County. RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!

Happy Independence Day, Ukraine! 34 years ago today. Slava Ukraini!

"The occupant" welcomes a war criminal to our country on a red carpet. Hard to find the words. Absolutely disgusting.

Happy Birthday! We were lucky to have him.

Talk about must-see TV! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwOL...

Lovely tune in honor of our despicable US Senator. He's such an embarrassment for the state. Though we do have some state politicians vying to surpass him on the lunacy scale. Thank you, Mr. Nelson. m.youtube.com/watch?v=cu17...

One of the greatest people I've ever met has passed away. Frank Layden, former coach of the Utah Jazz. Grateful I got to tell him how much he meant to me. Peace and grace on your journey, Frank. Thank you for a life well-lived, a shining example of a great human.

Mike Lee's outrageous proposal is defeated!!!!!! THANK YOU for raising your voices! But like all victories for the land, it's only temporary. Stay vigilant! www.suwa.org

Pat Bagley in the Salt Lake Tribune.

Is that Stephen Miller under that hat???

No more shirts or hoodies, but other "Humans Against Mike Lee" goodies here: store.betterutah.org/humans-again...

At yesterday's rally in SLC, and then playing at the Canyon Rim gathering last night. Good crowd, great sing-a-longs. Thanks to all who showed and sang. Let's keep the momentum.

Salt Lake City noontime rally. Happy May Day, 2025! Remembering a great worker's rights advocate Kyle Wulle today as I stood cheering. Helluva musician, too. What a performer.

Bernie and AOC in Salt Lake City. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXZu... Great crowd. 20,000 people showed up.

So grateful that Gov Cox vetoed the horrible SB 197. The chainsaw-wielding Senator McCay from Riverton was unsuccessful. Grateful for the expert bill analysis from Burt Harvey (Utah), Phil Conder (Davis), Chris Kauffman (Grand) and Sheila Srivastava (SL) all the other county tax admin people.

New Substack from Cathy McKitrick on SB 197. Please call the Governor! 801-538-1000. Ask him to please veto SB 197! substack.com/@cathymckitr...
