Above: Wasatch Bagel. 27 July 2023. Post LSDM Walkers (today, the residential 3-mile walk) image. Wasatch Bagel full of families. One family, seated at LSDM 7:00 AM round table (it was 9:30 AM, so it was OK for young family to usurp LSDM table) was Dad, Mom, and five kids aged 15 to 2. I walked over and grabbed Dad's attention. I said, to Dad, "tremendous family! Six great looking kids! Where's Mom?" Mom, who looked fit and fabulous in a tennis skirt, beamed (common, I know how to turn it on, even if TIMDT thinks I'm a curmudgeon). Dad said, "it's our 21st wedding anniversary today," and then he gave me a high five. Dad added, "we have six kids! Our oldest boy is on a trip with friends." Bishop loves seeing successful traditional families, especially in an era where the traditional family as a core societal institution is under woke assault.
Addendum:
Lives, businesses and freedoms were ruined partly because people like Tom suppress free speech and have a need to control the narrative.

How does "Tom" know that you DON'T write Tucker Carlson's dialogue scripts?

Look. My daily 3:00 AM moments at the keyboard writing Limbaugh's scripts in the '90's about wore me out. Quite frankly, I admit to not having the stamina to prep Tucker, and though asked by Tucker to do so, I had to bow out. I gave him a couple of referrals and he selected one of them, who, by all accounts, is doing a pretty good job.
The Japanese have a deep appreciation for the great musicians of the Western Canon. They don’t get upset with whiteness although they have a special word for it: While all forms of the word mean "foreigner" or "outsider", in practice gaijin and gaikokujin are commonly used to refer to foreigners of non-East Asian ethnicities.
