The Japanese show respect wherever they visit.
Cleaning the stadium enforces their belief in servant leadership.
Thats Japanese discipline.
“A bird that flies never leaves a trace.”
Respect where you are, so they respect where you are going.
Beautiful
Luke Nichols from the Outdoor Boys was a guest speaker at George Mason's Law School commencement this year.
Here's his full speech, which I think is worth watching if you're a 2026 college graduate
We don’t have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem.
My Penny Plan would cut just 6% a year and balance the budget in five years. That’s it.
Show markets we’re serious about fiscal discipline, and the economy will respond.
Time to hold the line on spending.

LASIK eye surgery cost $2,200 per eye in 2000. Today it's around $1,000 per eye despite 24 years of inflation. Meanwhile, an MRI that cost $1,200 in 2000 now costs $3,000+. The difference? LASIK operates in a free market with no insurance interference and minimal regulation.
When patients pay directly, providers must compete on price and quality. LASIK clinics advertise prices, offer financing, and constantly improve technology to attract customers. Compare this to hospital procedures where prices are hidden, patients never see bills, and insurance companies negotiate opaque rates that somehow always increase faster than inflation.
Cosmetic surgery follows the same pattern. Breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, and other elective procedures have become more affordable and safer over decades. Surgeons invest in better techniques and equipment because they must satisfy paying customers, not insurance bureaucrats or hospital administrators focused on maximizing reimbursements.
The lesson is clear: remove third-party payment systems and excessive regulation, and you get Austrian economics in action. Prices fall, quality rises, and innovation accelerates. Healthcare costs aren't rising because of aging populations or new technology—they're rising because we've destroyed the price mechanism that makes markets work.
In December 2025, former US Senator @BenSasse announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's the primary topic for this @UncKnowledge conversation about mortality, faith, and what truly matters when time is short.
Talking to host @P_M_Robinson, Sasse reflects on "redeeming the time"—holding ambition lightly, loving family more deliberately, and resisting the urge to make politics or professional success the center of life.
The discussion also covers Sasse's thoughts on the failures of Congress; the dangers of a fragmented, attention-starved republic; the crisis of higher education; and the moral challenges of technological abundance.
He speaks candidly and movingly about regret, forgiveness, prayer, and suffering—arguing that while death is a real enemy, it does not get the final word. Watch the full conversation on X:
My son left for College yesterday. I’m on my way out there now. I am not ok. This is the hardest thing that I have ever done. There’s a million emotions running through my mind just hoping I did enough as a dad to prepare him. I think that’s just human. I already miss the daily stuff we take for granted , getting him up for school, hanging in our garage playing video games , making him breakfast, etc. Be there for your little ones, soak up every moment you have , never say no and enjoy because it goes way too fast!
Nothing screams “small government conservative” like slapping tariffs on imports, capping credit rates, and now a sham investigation to control the Fed. I’m curious if @BasedMikeLee or @SenJohnCurtis are gonna stand up to this banana republic?
This is absurd…
Trump’s DOJ is now threatening Jerome Powell with criminal indictment:
"This new threat of criminal charges is a consequence of setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than the preferences of the President."
