A proposed bill to bar transgendered athletes from participating in girl's sports in Utah will come back for the second time in the 2022 Utah Legislature. Drew Armstrong is the co-founder of “Dragon Dads,” a support group for fathers of transgender and non-binary children, is a Utah Republican delegate. Armstrong says the proposal is a solution in search of a problem. “I'm frustrated with this because if we ran a bill that said we shouldn't allow livestock in high school hallways, it would probably affect a larger portion of our student population,” said Armstrong. Armstrong, who is the father of a transgendered child, is only half-joking.“I've heard stories about people bringing a cow into the school or something like that. I've heard no stories about their being a problem with transgender students playing in sports in high schools or junior high or on the college level in Utah,” says Armstrong. Armstrong is our guest on the podcast to discuss the raft of anti-transgender bills that have popped up around the country in recent years. He also talks about the growing visibility of transgender and non-binary people in popular culture, and how he squares being a Utah Republican delegate with the GOP-led efforts to restrict transgender rights. You can subscribe to the podcast for free here.

Episode 125Last week we had an interview with Michael Voris of Church Militant. One of the things we talked about was bad bishops in the USCCB—America's body of bishops. What we're going to do in this episode is talk about who the bad bishops are, who the mediocre bishops are, and who the good bishops are. You might want to take notes.

Both the Utah Republican and Democratic parties will elect new leaders in the coming weeks, which many voters and elected officials hope will usher in new chapters for the state’s primary political organizations after years of infighting, debts and dysfunction. But the growing participation of unaffiliated voters, pressure from smaller parties, and changes to state law democratizing the candidate nomination process have raised questions about the shifting relevancy and roles of political parties in modern elections. On this week’s episode of “Trib Talk,” Tribune reporter Taylor Stevens, United Utah Party chairman Richard Davis and Huntsville Republican Rep. Steve Waldrip join Benjamin Wood to discuss the state of party affiliation in 2019. Click here to listen now.

Why there’s been no indictments [by Special Counsel Robert Mueller], we don’t know,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NewYork) days ago.“There have been obstructions of justice,” Nadler continued, adding that “the special prosecutor is limited in scope and limited to crimes. What Congress has to do is look at a broader picture. We are in charge … of protecting the rule of law, of looking at obstructions of justice, abuses of power, at corruption, in order to protect the rule of law. …”For more than two years, now-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) has claimed to have “more than circumstantial evidence” that President Donald Trump “colluded” with “Russians.”Mueller spent 675 days and $25.2 million investigating this claim. His Democrat-donor investigators interviewed 500 witnesses, issued 2,800 subpoenas, executed 500 search warrants, and indicted 34 people and three companies. But Mueller found zero collusion by President Trump or his people with the Russian government.Yet Adam Schiff continues to accuse the president of collusion. And, as he has from the beginning, Schiff refuses to reveal his evidence.“Your willingness to continue to promote a demonstrably false narrative is alarming,” said a letter to Schiff signed by all nine Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee. “The findings of the Special Counsel conclusively refute your past and present assertions and have exposed you as having abused your position to knowingly promote false information, having damaged the integrity of this Committee, and undermined faith in U.S. government institutions.”The Republican committee members declared they have “no faith in your ability to discharge your duties in a manner consistent with your Constitutional responsibility and urge your immediate resignation as Chairman of this Committee.”“I think [Schiff] should lose his security clearance,” says former Congressman Jason Chaffetz, “and I don’t think he should be on the House Intelligence Committee,” said the Utah Republican.“It is a privilege to sit on this committee,” said Chaffetz, former House Oversight Committee Chairman, “but [Schiff] used the guise of ‘Hey, I see classified information and nobody else does and I’m telling you I’ve seen it first-hand.’ He’s … making it up and he shouldn’t have a security clearance if you’re going to act like that.”If Schiff is stripped of his security clearance, he could not sit on the House Intelligence Committee, whose members are trusted with access to America’s most sensitive secrets.But Schiff, as the committee’s ranking Democrat, became its chairman because his party won a majority of House seats in last November’s midterm election. The Democratic Party won in large part because of the lies and smears about Russian collusion that Schiff and his comrades waged against President Trump.Now Schiff and Nadler (who has demanded tons of documents from 81 targeted Trump associates) plan to continue their reckless wrecking of the president’s reputation until the 2020 elections.Ignored by Mueller, indisputable evidence of pro-Clinton Russian and Ukrainian collusion to steal the 2016 presidential election exists. The so-called Trump Dossier was largely written by Russian agents picked by Christopher Steele, former head of Great Britain’s MI-6 Russia Desk. Steele was employed to concoct this fraudulent propaganda by Democrat-funded Fusion GPS. Schiff implies that Donald Trump, Jr. “colluded” with a Russian lawyer. But she, both just before and after their 15-minute conversation about baby adoptions, met secretly with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson. Was this sole meeting one of several attempts to “set up” Trump for destruction or a coup d’état?The Dossier was used to smear Trump, then to obtain warrants to spy on Trump associates. These warrants were illegal, because our intelligence agencies never verified whether the Dossier was factually accurate, and never told the FISA judge(s) granting the warrants that the Dossier was a campaign weapon invented for Hillary Clinton’s partisan use against her Republican opponent.This almost certainly means that all information obtained directly or indirectly through use of these warrants and the Dossier, including the Mueller investigation itself, is what legal scholars call “fruit of the poisoned tree” and must be thrown out.The Dossier was bankrolled not only by Clinton but also by the Democratic National Committee, in which Adam Schiff and Jerrold Nadler are card-carrying leaders and policymakers.All senior Democrat officeholders were accomplices in Russian collusion by their sinister connection to DNC funding of the Dossier. They illegitimately won House control through this Russian help. Every veteran Democrat in both House and Senate should resign immediately or be voted out because of their foreign collusion.Dear Friends,Please read the following letters sent to the President about La Orchila Island and Punta Huete on what may now be the most serious issue at this time. Notice my current email address is now: halfpastfree@outlook.com. JWS John W. SpringP.O. Box 18946Anaheim, CA 92817 April 3, 2019 The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500 RE: IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT TO UNLOAD AND FIRE A NUCLEAR MISSILE Dear Mr. President: Before mentioning what should now become our nation’s concern for security, let me say that if the southern border with Mexico were to be closed, it would definitely destroy small American and Mexican businesses because they do not have adequate financial reserves and resources to endure over an indefinite period of time while large multinational corporations would survive. So it would be unfair to punish the wrong people who were not responsible for this dilemma. While this dire dilemma must be addressed, there is now even a far greater threat to America at Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea and atNicaragua in Central America where Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with Thermonuclear Warheads can be unloaded and launched within a matter of minutes from giant air transports landing on extremely long runways at Isla La Orchila or La Orchila Island and at Punta Huete that can strike all parts of the continental United States with great accuracy and without an advance warning within a short period of time. As for the current and dire conditions in Venezuela, I would be able provide far better advice in person during a face-to-face meeting directly with you. However, although time is running out, I advise that only appropriate action should be taken on this crucial matter rather that what is now probably being considered. Due to my track record for results, I can provide far better options. Sincerely, John W. Spring     Dear Friends,Please read the following letter that I just sent to the President, which is about Venezuela. JWS  John W. SpringP.O. Box 18946Anaheim, CA 92817 April 2, 2019 The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500 RE: THE VENEZUELAN MISSILE CRISIS ON LA ORCHILA ISLAND LOCATED IN THE CARIBBEAN SEA AND PUNTA HUETE, NICARAGUA IN CENTRAL AMERICA Dear Mr. President: I realize that it has been difficult for you to believe me based upon disinformation, which some of your contacts have sent in such a convincing manner. However, due, now, to your awareness of the situation in Venezuela, they have lost their credibility. So, perhaps, this and my past email letters will finally reach your desk at the Oval Office. The Venezuelan Missile Crisis has actually existed for several years, but it has only been since Dr. Bill Deagle had encouraged me to probe into the Chinese, Cuban and Russian air, military and naval activity in Venezuela that I became aware of it. Although I was already aware of the earlier statement made by Russian President Putin that Russia was developing a HYPERSONIC MISSILE that could reverse its course of direction during flight, it seemed more realistic that the Kremlin would now deploy INTERMEDIATE-RANGE BALLISTIC MISSILES armed with THERMONUCLEAR WARHEADS launched from the Caribbean Sea or Central America. La Orchila Island in the Caribbean Sea is now a Russian Air Force base with a long runway where giant air transports are able to land as well at Punta Huete, Nicaragua located in Central America where missiles can also be unloaded and launched in a very short period of time. Sincerely, John W. Spring      Dear Friends,Please notice my newest email address: halfpastfree@outlook.com. At least at this time, I am unable to access my previous email accounts. This has caused me to lose most of my contact. So, if you know of any persons who are really concerned about our nation and the rest of the world, I would welcome more and new friends.

The 2019 legislative session began on Monday, kicking off 45 days of debate on hundreds of proposed pieces of legislation. Legislative leaders cite a familiar list of priorities, including funding for education and efforts to improve air quality, health care costs and transportation. But the session comes on the heels of a controversial move by lawmakers to replace a medical marijuana law, approved by popular vote, with a plan of their own making. And with two other ballot initiative successfully added to the state code, supporters worry that Medicaid expansion and an independent redistricting commission could be the next to go. On this week’s episode of “Trib Talk," House Speaker Brad Wilson, R-Kaysville, Sen. Stuart Adams, R-Layton, Rep. Angela Romero, D-Salt Lake City, and Sen. Karen Mayne, D-West Valley, join Benjamin Wood to discuss their hopes and expectations for this year’s legislative session. “Trib Talk” is produced by Sara Weber with additional editing by Dan Harrie.

Bad news for Mitt Romney who is looking to fill the Senate seat vacated by retiring Sen. Orrin Hatch. After a long, arduous day at the Utah Republican convention Saturday, Romney came in second to Mike Kennedy and will have to compete in a June primary. Washington, D.C. Councilman Trayon White said in a video that he's “done apologizing” for his anti-Semitic beliefs. Remember that caravan that the mainstream media, and Mexican officials, said was no longer heading to the U.S.-Mexico border? Well, the first 50 Central American migrants in the caravan that set out from southern Mexico in late March have reached the U.S. border. Matt Walsh wrote a great piece about Alfie Evans. The former Starbucks manager who called the police on two non-paying black customers earlier this month may have a good case for bringing a defamation suit against the coffee company. The Democratic National Committee's lawsuit against the Trump campaign in relation to the 2016 election has caused some Democrats and their donors to say the strategy is wrong-headed. Intersectionalism is doomed to fail. Remember the “Sex Ed Sit Out” protest on Monday. Don't forget about the Edwards Notebook and the Veteran's Tip of the Day! All of this and more as time allows.
