THE SECRET BALLOT DECEPTION I recently learned that the founding generation in America voted publicly. In the late 1800s, states adopted the government-printed “Australian ballot”, which was filled and deposited in secret.Secret government ballots were pushed on the idea that public voting made voters susceptible to bribery and intimidation. Secret ballots reduced the transparency and… Read more…

I had an experience in 2016 that changed my life. I heard a letter from the First Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints read over the pulpit in sacrament meeting urging participation in something called the caucus. I had never been to one before, and neither had most of my neighbors.… Read more…

“Situated as we are, with a flood of immigration constantly pouring in upon us, I consider that it is not only prudential, but absolutely necessary to protect the inhabitants of this city from being imposed upon by a spurious currency. Many of our eastern and old country friends are altogether unacquainted with the situation of… Read more…

As a candidate for public office, I am forthright about the fact that I do not have deep pockets or easy mass media connections. I recognize the perception in the minds of some that this makes a candidate less viable for public office. Against that backdrop, it is worth examining how it became so expensive… Read more…

With some encouragement from good friends, I filed this morning to run for the newly outlined Congressional District 4 (CD4) US House of Representatives seat. CD4 covers much of Western Utah, Draper, Riverton, Bluffdale, Tooele, Sanpete County, Lehi, Pleasant Grove, Highland, Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain and my town of American Fork. In coming weeks, I… Read more…

Utah’s SB 109 (2026) sponsored by Senator Todd Weiler eliminates the cause of action in “alienation of affection” cases. What this would is that the state government no longer recognizes marriage as a contract worthy of protection. At its core, marriage is a private contract and a religious rite. As a private contract, it is… Read more…

A very strange thing happened in Utah’s 2024 election cycle: Three prominent candidates for state and national office won the Republican nominating convention, and yet somehow did not appear on the November general election ballot. How can you win a nomination, and yet not even appear on the general election ballot? The answer? SB54, a… Read more…

I recently watched Daniela Cambone’s interview with G. Edward Griffin, the author of the book The Creature from Jekyll Island. In the interview, he made several connections that I had learned for myself before encountering his assessment. He exposed the duality of Communism and Nazism, showing that in practical terms, they are identical. I had… Read more…

Utah House Bill 330 is not a narrow liability clarification as advertised, despite the clever cover story by Rep. Colin Jack that it was harming the poor electric companies because of existing regulatory policy and judicial overreach. In lines 36–45, it creates an affirmative defense whenever harm results from conduct, an omission, or a condition… Read more…

The Utah legislature just recommended a bill that erases the probable cause requirement and enables warrantless search and seizure of CHILDREN from Utah homes. Actually, there are two bills, HB 105 and SB 124 and they are word-for-word identical. Like the Hydra of Greek mythology, they do this multiple-head approach when they want insurance that… Read more…
