To Compromise or Not to Compromise

For Mia Country
Bruce Kent My family and I spent a portion of our weekend conducting a precinct walk in behalf of candidate Mia Love. As I listen to poll reports, I find myself struck in awe by the nearness of the run between her competitor Doug Owens and herself. Beyond this race, I feel surprised at how […]

Fishers of Men
Bruce Kent July 26, 2014 We celebrated Pioneer Day here in Utah this week. In June 1847 Mormon pioneers, having suffered deprivations at the hands of the intolerant mob (Mormons were open about their anti-slavery sentiment and proved to be a very industrious people, causing the people of Missouri to drive them out) in Illinois, […]

A General to Lead in these Perilous Times

At the Southern border, a veritable invasion, spurned by the progressive movement, threatens to seize the heart of a once prosperous nation. As a result of the same movement, Ukraine and the Middle East are on their knees. […]
