Highly educated, hard working work force and several great universities.  Growing population.  About 3 million statewide with most in a 50 mile radius of Salt Lake City.  They’d be competing for talent with other billion dollar companies like Domo, Adobe, eBay, Oracle, Solar City, Purple, and PluralSight, but it is still very reasonable compared to Seattle.  GREAT OUTDOORS.  The largest ski resort in North America, many national parks, etc.  Utah is also remodeling the Salt Lake International Airport, and the 2002 Winter Olympics and Paralympics were a great investment in infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">jedmerrill</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 07 Sep 2017 18:12:37 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Oscars Ratings Are In&amp;#8230; And They&amp;#8217;re BRUTAL</title><link>https://milo.yiannopoulos.net/2017/02/oscars-ratings-theyre-brutal/#comment-3177754741</link><description>&lt;p&gt;The #MerylStreepEffect.

While this might represent aspects of a variety of people living in that day, I think it is missing several important features:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Light and truth.  The inner light tends to shine outward and has an influence on how we look.  I expect to see a lot more intelligence reflected in his features, considering His wisdom was beyond essentially anyone alive today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Genetics from His Heavenly parent and a mother who was described as fair.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If the Roman soldiers did not know Jesus, it might be because there were no photographs at the time.  He may also have trimmed His hair and beard in a manner common to the day.  Maybe the disciples also dressed much like He did.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How do you apply forensic science where no forensics are available?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Interesting attempt, though.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">jedmerrill</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 12 Dec 2016 16:54:28 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Obama going down a legend in Leftist media</title><link>http://www.onenewsnow.com/media/2016/12/12/obama-going-down-a-legend-in-leftist-media#comment-3048947881</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Barack Obama was the worst President in my lifetime, if not American history.  For those of us who thought he might be a fulfillment of Martin Luther King's dream, he was a failure from the start.  Given a Nobel Peace Prize even he was uncomfortable with, he oversaw a massive increase in racial tensions that had little foundation in reality.  He trampled and slandered parts of American history and tradition we have always kept sacred, from the Constitution to bussing in non-citizens to vote for liberal policies most Americans disagreed with.  He was compared to King George the third, concerning so many Americans he gave rise to a Tea Party movement.  He threatened media into compliance as only Communist and fascist dictators have in the past.  He forced healthcare on businesses that could not afford it.  He blocked off shore drilling in America while funding it in Brazil.  He doubled the number of people on welfare rolls, reducing unemployment only by putting millions of people in a category of their own not counted as unemployed but given up.  He weakened US borders, made deals with America's enemies, and imposed Common Core educational standards on schools that included Socialist propaganda.  He helped fund ISIS.  Donald Trump may suffer from a variety of moral deficits, but is a breath of free air after Barack Obama, who my kids will know for who he was, a traitor.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">jedmerrill</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 12 Dec 2016 16:10:15 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Trump summons Romney for 2nd look as staffers squabble</title><link>http://www.onenewsnow.com/ap/politics/trump-summons-romney-for-2nd-look-as-staffers-squabble#comment-3026802488</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Trump should start to cite his sources, but yes, there is evidence of at least three million dead people voting according to TrueTheVote, a very reputable organization, and their partners.  This is the fraud that is 100% verifiable, but there could be more in the form of election machine tampering, given that Soros bought the company that services many of our machines and has a history of tampering with elections in multiple countries including Hungary, where he is banned.  &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">jedmerrill</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 29 Nov 2016 16:39:57 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Don&amp;#039;t Mourn, Fight Like Hell</title><link>http://www.motherjones.com/node/318831#comment-2998198546</link><description>&lt;p&gt;You do know that your protests are being paid for by someone who was a youth spy for Hitler in World War 2?

While Trump has said things I disagree with about people I respect, mostly competitors during the race, he has never said things as mean as you and the protestors you work with are saying about him.  Maybe you will fall into the pit you are digging for President Trump, if not in this life then the next.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Best of luck to you.  Trump was not one of my top picks for President, but he will be a good one, and more transparent than either Obama or Hillary have been.  Yes, he has suffered from a character deficit in the past, but I think the election process has humbled him and he will do better than any of us believe, and more for the American people than several Presidents before him, because he is not part of the establishment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do as you see best, but you will hurt yourself more than you will ever hurt our new President.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Democracy is a series of peaceful revolutions, expressed through honest votes.  You are advocating mobocracy.  Not a very American thing to do.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">jedmerrill</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 11 Nov 2016 16:50:34 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Don&amp;#039;t Mourn, Fight Like Hell</title><link>http://www.motherjones.com/node/318831#comment-2995980368</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hatred?  Bigotry?  Sounds like a mountain of delusion to me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Americans voted for Trump because we love America too much to let it fall into globalism, socialism, or anything short of the Constitution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you know what causes racial tension to grow as much as racism itself?  Calling people racists.  If you want to create a new America, call both adversary and ally Americans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These old hatreds you call upon are called liberty, equality, prosperity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please stop inciting intolerance in the name of tolerance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;America wants to be united, we are just not willing to throw away the America we were born into as a birthright to do it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Calm the heck down and build America instead of tearing her down.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">jedmerrill</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 10 Nov 2016 17:15:05 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Kelly Ayotte Not Conceding New Hampshire Senate Race Yet</title><link>http://www.breitbart.com/live/2016-election-world-reacts-donald-trumps-stunning-upset-victory/kelly-ayotte-not-conceding-new-hampshire-senate-race-yet/#comment-2995433843</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Soros is also banned from Hungary for messing with elections, i.e. Voter fraud.

He also headed up the Secretary of State project prior to 2012 to make certifying fraudulent votes easier, and bought a company that "counts" American votes.  He grew up a youth spy for Hitler.  This is a very corrupt person who is only tolerated in America because he funds interests of people like Obama and Hillary.  For that matter, he introduced Obama to his first foreign backers and helped erase parts of his past.   It is no surprise that he would try to divide Americans against police, who are here to protect and serve us.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">jedmerrill</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 24 Sep 2016 18:06:07 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Who&amp;#8217;s Behind the Charlotte Riots?

A number of them were from Chicago, but there were also bus loads of people who were not US citizens and did not speak English.  &lt;a href="http://www.ObamaVoterFraud.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.ObamaVoterFraud.com/"&gt;http://www.ObamaVoterFraud....&lt;/a&gt;  My money is on the bus money coming from the same source that funded the election year fraud road trip.  See also some Occupy protestors, some of whom complained about not being paid as agreed.  Finally, I met a white person affiliated with the Black Panthers last year who was for riots because he saw the overall political system as broken, unfixable, and in need of revolution.  He was encouraging demonstrations against "police brutality" in Salt Lake City, and it appeared he was part of an organized national effort to turn people against police.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">jedmerrill</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 24 Sep 2016 17:55:57 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Jury finds Utah companies made 100 million illegal calls</title><link>http://www.sltrib.com/news/3940513-155/jury-finds-utah-companies-made-100#comment-2700506761</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I am not a fan of telemarketers, but $11,000 to $16,000 seems pretty excessive, especially since a single call probably doesn't make most companies more than $5 on average.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The films this company makes are family friendly and faith based, cleaner than Disney, and I enjoyed watching several of them and recommend them to anyone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wondering if the faith based aspect is one reason they are being looked into?

Does this make all other books in our modern Bible, including the four testaments that tell us most about Christ's life, fraudulent assaults on original scripture?  Deuteronomy warns something similar.  Does this make Revelations a fraud as it came later?  The Testimony of John says if all the words of Christ were written he supposed they would fill the Earth.  (Last verse.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bible as we know it did not exist in its current form at the time of Christ or the time of Revelations.  Even today Catholics and Protestants have different books in their canon.  Which is more?  Which is less?  Are both condemned because their included books don't agree?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mormons embrace all of the words of Christ, whenever and wherever and to whomever He gave them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We embrace the Book of Mormon as another testament of Jesus Christ, comparable to the Bible, but not in any way replacing it.  We read and love both.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can reject the teachings of Christ found in either the Bible or the Book of Mormon, but that is what they are, His words and the words of His prophets and apostles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Heavens are only closed to those who lack the faith to ask and receive.  Jesus said we should knock, and likewise when He comes knocking or His servants (missionaries for example) we are blessed if we open our doors and minds to light and truth.  What we do to the least of these we do to Him.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">jedmerrill</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 11 Jan 2015 17:03:25 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: DNC issues anti-Jeb Bush talking points</title><link>http://www.politico.com/story/2014/12/jeb-bush-2016-election-talking-points-113709.html#comment-1751897221</link><description>&lt;p&gt;My first choice for 2016 will be Romney, but I am enjoying seeing how Jeb does things.
