• Jana Riess: Latter-day Saint men are groomed not to listen to women

  10-09-2019 23:35
  Two seemingly unrelated stories appeared last week in my Facebook feed in rapid succession. The first was the unwelcome update that Lavina Fielding Anderson, who was excommunicated from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1993, has been denied rebaptism. Anderson’s excommunication was caused by her shining a light on what she called “ecclesiastical abuse” in the church. It was documented in a long, well-researched article in Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought

  Herriman • Neither Real Salt Lake midfielder Kelyn Rowe or interim coach Freddy Juarez — MLS veterans and fans in their own capacities — can’t remember a season quite like 2019. Where down the stretch, every game feels like it’s worth more than three points.

  It’s sometimes lost amid Donald Trump’s endless affronts to the Republic, but the undermining of U.S. intelligence capabilities is one of the overarching stories of his administration.So CNN’s scoop Monday about the exfiltration of a top U.S. intelligence asset in Russia is, like so much in the Trump era, both staggering and not at all surprising. According to CNN, in a secret mission in 2017, America “extracted from Russia one of its highest-level covert sources inside t

  First, they came for the unemployment rate, and we brushed it off as tinfoil-hat nonsense.Then they came for crowd sizes, and we laughed at the absurdity.The next victim was the deficit, which they said was shrinking even as we saw it rising; also climate data, which they denigrated, doctored or disappeared without a trace.
