A reluctant resister. Never wanted the distinction. Trump & Co forced me to join the resistance. Never Trump or his family. Multiple Covid survivor (WTF, huh!?)
Can't be said enough: we toppled a dictator.
Over the past decade, as I've occupied a front-row seat to observe the degradation of our government and the moral cowardice of its leaders, a question has always nagged at me: Do these people not care how they're going to be remembered? Ben Sasse cared. You could tell -- both in conversation with him and watching from afar. It was apparent that he felt the weight of history judging him, posterity studying him, his children living with his name and his legacy. And so, he acted accordingly. Does that mean he got everything right? Nope. None of us do. But at least he tried. At least he had a standard. At least he was honest -- with himself and with us. At least he could look his kids in the eye and know that for whatever the temptation to gain the world, he hadn't forfeited his soul. Check out these tributes pouring in from across the ideological spectrum. How refreshing -- how dreadfully rare -- to see a political figure celebrated for their integrity, their honor, their steadfast virtue. Ben Sasse aimed to be a good man. And so, he'll be remembered as a great man. I'll be praying for him and his family this advent season. (And I, for one, will never read Isaiah 9 again without thinking of him! Now that's a legacy, @BenSasse.)
History Uncensored is coming soon to YouTube & Spotify. Nothing stays buried forever… My Year 3 report said I wanted to be a “historian and history presenter.” I’m still that kid (minus the orthodontics). Now, to my continued disbelief, I get to spend my weeks buried in books, talking to world-class experts whose work I’ve loved since university, tracing the taboo, contested and long-hidden threads of the past. Maps, myths and footnotes are my happiest place - and the BEST bit is, now I get to bring you into it. Step into my paper-strewn study of book towers, peculiar relics and other questionable acquisitions…
