Does anyone else hate this passive-aggressive cold where you’re frozen to the bone, but it still refuses to snow? If the weather is going to have the audacity to be cold, it should at least have the good form to snow. ⛄
IOC leaders set to hear ‘very precise report’ on 2030 Winter Games bidders. Here’s why their pick might still be months away
It’s down to Salt Lake City, Utah; Sapporo, Japan; and (possibly) Vancouver, British Colombia. The International Olympic Committee has heard bids from each of the potential hosts, but a final decision for who will host the 2030 and 2034 Olympic games could be months away.
Vancouver was thought to be out of the running when they announced they would not agree to pledge more than $2 billion but has since made it back on the IOC’s list. Last month, Gov. Spencer Cox, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall and others made an impassioned pitch that left the governor feeling “really confident” about hosting in 2030 or 2034.
Over the weekend, Former Pres. Donald Trump reacted to the publication of journalist Matt Taibi’s “The Twitter Files” — a series of internal emails between Twitter employees and executives about censoring stories that could potentially damage then presidential candidate Joe Biden’s bid for the White House.
Trump reacted by saying this proves his allegations of election fraud and that the remedy should “allow for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”
Here’s what a few members of Utah’s all-Republican congressional delegation had to say about it:
Sen. Mitt Romney: “The Republican Party has long been the party of the Constitution. So when President Trump says he wants to suspend the Constitution, he goes from being MAGA to being a RINO.”
Sen. Mike Lee: “The Constitution isn’t needed only on good days; it’s even more important in times of crisis.”
Rep. Chris Stewart: “No individual — president or otherwise — has authority over the Constitution.”
Rep. Blake Moore: “I do not support the former president’s statement on his grievances with the 2020 election, particularly his comment suggesting the Constitution should be terminated. That is preposterous. I have been consistent on my perspective on the 2020 election.”
