The New Year 2016

President Obama and the first BYU football game

Last Friday, Aug 29,  BYU had their first football game.  We were invited to watch the game and have a dinner at a friend's home.  There were five total couples.   One of the couples has been dating for ten years.  The woman did not make a peep and she looked totally miserable.  The guy struck me as creepy, as he bent down and talked to you about one inch away from your face.  I had never met this guy before and he made me feel really uncomfortable to say the least.  He was kid of clingy.

After we got there, I remarked to my husband that I wondered how long it would take for someone to bash President Obama.  I knew it would happen before the night was over, and I was right.  As soon as the game ended here it came:  "Why that Obama is the worst President we have ever had and he does not know wht he is going-- bah  bah bah.............................  Of course this comment went on and on by the guy who started it.  But wait!  There were four of us that are Democrats (gasp)!  So we all had to kind of set him straight.

Got to love living in Happy Valley!

Chickens? There is no law against having chickens!

I love living here in Happy Valley.  Some make their own rules that do not apply to them.  It is called "entitlement".  Take Sister Dough-Tara.  There is a law against having chickens in the city limits.  But that law does not apply to her.  She is a busy mom to fourteen children, and she has to juggle her part time job as a midwife.  She does not have time to shop, so she has her own chickens in her yard.  That way she can feed her hungry mouths without making unscheduled trips to the local market.  Chickens are not messy and they do not stink.  They do not attract bugs and insects.  They do not spread disease.  They don't get sick,and they are not noisy.  Therefore, Sister Dough-Tara has every right to have illegal chickens.  The neighbors do not mind either, as some of them have chickens as well, like the Bishop of the ward.  He has chickens to help feed the less fortunate members of the ward.  Why anyone can live on eggs alone.

The tale does not end here though.  Sister Dough-Tara had her chickens against the fence of the backdoor neighbor, who was not amused by the whole thing,  Sister Dobey kindly asked her to move her chickens somewhere else in her yard, as the mess was coming over in her yard.  Since Sister Dobey was not married in the temple, Sister Dough-Tara just kindly ignored her request.  In the next Fast and Testimony Meeting Sister Dough-Tara bore her testimony about how she had a testimony of the only true Church, and how much she loved her neighbors.

I Stand All Amazed at Cliven Bundy

Nothing amazes me anymore.  Right winger High Priest in the Mormon church has opened his mouth again.  Cliven Bundy. Mormon Cliven spoke in St. George, Utah on Saturday August 2 at a gathering for the Independent American Party.  He stated that God provided him personal inspiration in the showdown over cattle in Bunkerville, Nevada.  He stated, " The Lord 
told me if the local sheriff doesn't take away these arms from federal agents, we the people will have to face these arms in a civil war.  This is your chance to straighten this thing up".  Other Bundy family members stated that they fasted in prayed for the spirit of their forefathers to be with them as they prepared on horseback to defy the Bureau of Land Management's effort to impound his cattle.

Cliven thinks it is okay to owe the government about a millions dollars, and just roll over and ignore  the matter. What a nice and example for all.......

I am not buying this one

In his new book, “The Lincoln Hypothesis”, Timothy Ballard (former CIA and DHS operative)  tries to make one believe that Abraham Lincoln had a copy of the Book Of Mormon.

I guess the question about this book is "how does he know this and where did he get the information from?"

When I first heard the commercial for this book, and that it was published by Deseret Book, I had to make sure that what I heard was correct.  Seriously?  Deseret Book published a book about this?  Where is the information coming from?

The only thing that Abraham Lincoln had in common was that he knew Joseph and Hyrum, and he was a Master Freemason, like Joseph and Hyrum.  Brigham Young was not a fan of President Lincoln was not fond of the Mormons either.  He did not like polygamy.  

Decide what you may, but I am not buying this one......

The Swallow/Shurtleff Saga

Two  former Attorney Generals for the State of Utah were arrested on numerous counts yesterday, July 15,2014.  They were arrested at their homes early in the morning by the FBI and Public Safety.

Swallow, who was forced from office in December less than a year into his first term, was charged in 3rd District Court with 11 felonies and two misdemeanors, including multiple counts of receiving or soliciting bribes, accepting gifts, tampering with evidence, obstructing justice and participating in a pattern of unlawful conduct.

Shurtleff, who served 12 years as attorney general before making Swallow his handpicked Republican successor, was charged with 10 felonies, including receiving or soliciting bribes, accepting gifts, tampering with witnesses and evidence, and participating in a pattern of unlawful conduct.

John Swallow was forced out of office after only serving ten months.  He was replaced with someone even worse, Sean Reyes.    GA Reyes is dead set on fighting gay marriage, and does not  care about wasting the tax payers money.  Never mind more funding for schools, expanding medicaid for the Utah poor.  That is more important at this time.  This is the Utah Way.
