I LOVE our present flag. I DO NOT LIKE DESIGN OF NEW ONE... I DO NOT WANT A CHANGE. Illene Pett Layton

The fight to preserve democracy around the world has come to resemble Whac-A-Mole, with autocrats wielding power or chasing it emerging on the global scene only to be faced down, then to emerge again. The biggest battle of them all is playing out in Ukraine, where a conscience-less war criminal ...

In the past week, I’ve had numerous people reach out to me at work and at home asking, “How can you allow people who demonize your work — or even want to fire you — to come to campus?” This question comes in response to an event happening at Weber State University today that will ...

I wish there were influencers for the rest of us: We the imperfect. We the mediocre. We the normal. That's what occurred to me lately as I watched famed influencer/actress/dieter Gwyneth Paltrow discuss what she eats (or, more accurately, doesn't eat) in a typical day. In the video, she said ...

I recall imagining, back in 2020, that when COVID-19 was finally in the rearview mirror, we would witness a global party of epic proportions. If the "Roaring Twenties" were partly a reaction to the ebbing of the Spanish flu, perhaps the 2020s would feature a similar eruption of animal spirits ...

D. Louise Brown's article about changing the flag has more "good sense" in it than any other article about that subject that I have read. My question is: What will we get rid of next? The Pioneer Day Parade? Pioneers Days Celebrations? Just because our flag is different doesn't mean it is ...

I think D. Louise Brown in her guest commentary covered the subject of the new state flag thoughtfully. I agree with her about the new flag looking like a “first grader drew it”, actually my first impression was that it resembled a cartoon flag. I also thought as she did, who is behind ...

Congratulations to Governor Cox. You have just given Utah the ugliest flag in the country. I agree with D. Louise Brown. Who put the vexillologists in charge in the first place? The statement that it looks like a first grader drew it is a false statement. A first grader could do better! John ...
