  Here’s what we know about American politics: The Republican Party is stuck, probably irreversibly, in a doom loop of bizarro. If the Trump-incited Capitol insurrection didn’t snap the party back to sanity — and it didn’t — nothing will.What isn’t clear yet is who, exactly, will end up facing doom. Will it be the GOP as a significant political force? Or will it be America as we know it? Unfortunately, we don’t know the answer. It depends a lot on how succ

  The COVID-19 pandemic has turned college basketball scheduling into a constantly-evolving situation, where even one program dealing with a virus-related stoppage can trigger schedule changes across a conference.Take the University of Utah, which is at Colorado for a Saturday matinee. When a Jan. 6 game vs. Oregon State was postponed because the Beavers had COVID issues, the Utes took the brunt of it. As a result of the one postponement, the Pac-12 moved the Utes’ Jan. 10 game vs. Oregon up

  There is no reason to begrudge the members of the Utah House of Representatives, who are expected to do a lot of very important stuff in a very short time, a moment of frivolity.So when Rep. Kera Birkeland, R-Morgan, rose on the House floor Tuesday to propose House Resolution 3 — “House Resolution Honoring Donovan Mitchell over Shaquille O’Neal” — it was, at worst, a harmless bit of fun.

  It’s been 52 weeks since we had our first coronavirus case in the United States.

  First, I agree with Xander Gordon (“Kirby Mansplains”, Jan. 27) that Robert Kirby blew it on his take about Dr. Jill Biden. These titles are bestowed for good reasons. Although many who have earned them choose not to be public about it, in Dr. Biden’s case its use makes some sense to counter a traditional societal tendency to ignore the often intellectual gravitas of the spouse of a political office holder.That said, Gordon then eviscerates his point with the malice he appends
