Michael Jolley recently moved his family to Georgia but he's still active in Utah politics by hilariously pointing out contradictions, inaccuracies, and flat-out lies peddled by leftist journalists and politicos. Our favorite Salt Lake Tribune garbageman, Bryan Schott, was a recent Jolley target after Schott (wrongly) identified a symbol painted a high school rock monument as being associated with violent right-wing militia groups in a recent article. Jolley has also spent time researching US senate candidate (and former presidential hopeful) Evan McMullin and shares his fascinating (and disturbing) discoveries.
