It's not like he was looking for a fight

A man was shot dead by police in front of a Mormon temple after a confrontation with another man.
When Police arrived, they found the man armed with a shotgun which he refused to put down.
The officers eventually decided the danger presented was great enough to warrant shooting the man.
A search of the dead man's car located "numerous" weapons, including swords and guns.

I'm sure his relatives will swear he was not the type to seek confrontation.

Utah and fed officials scramble after illegals list released

An unknown group in Utah has released a list of 1300 names with social security numbers and personal information including children's names and pregnant women's due dates.
A letter accompanying the list demanded that the government take action on the information.
Hispanic groups have wailed about how "immigrants" feel "terrorized" by the potential release of personal information and exposure to authorities.
Some in the government believe the information may have been leaked by a government employee.

If the government had this information and didn't act, heads need to roll.
If the "immigrants" feel terrorized, welcome to the club!

Utah strikes back against feds with imminent domain

The federal government has shut down use and access to land in the 50 states for generations, but it has accelerated in recent decades.
The feds control almost 70% of the land in Utah and the state representatives are set to vote on a law allowing them to use imminent domain to take land from the feds in order to develop or use resources.
This is a backlash for seizures like those that took place under the Clinton administration when land holding caol reserves were locked up in order to aid corporations like the Lippo Group which happened to be able to supply coal to US power plants now that American coal was unavailable.
It just happens that some "really good" coal is located in an area that was "Protected" by the Clinton administration and environmentalists are going ballistic at the idea of even exploring there.
I don't know how much of the 1.9 million acres of land has coal and how much of that is the "pristine" landscape people gush about, but the stated opposition is that mining would "ruin" things there.

I hope Utah prevails in the inevitable court battle and other states follow.
It is high time we "Take Our Country Back" as the leftists put it.

Partial Victory over Hollywood Stupidity

Danny Glover delivered the commencement ceremonies keynote address for Utah State University's 123rd class.
During the color guard presentation of the American flag, Glover did not cover his heart and someone shouted: "Cover your heart Glover!"
Intermittent boos came during his speech where he explained that he "listened and payed attention" during the presentation (note: he said nothing about caring or respecting the ceremony or flag).
Unfortunately, the young minds full of mush still gave the neo-Communist a standing "O" after his speech and likely reinforced his confidence to continue bashing the country that allowed him the chance for success he would not find in Cuba or Venezuela.
