The House just passed my NICS Data Reporting Act.

The bill requires DOJ to provide aggregate demographic data of persons ruled ineligible to purchase a firearm under NICS.

The data could show false denials disproportionately affect racial minorities.

In a recent interview with Jim Daly, Ben Sasse answered several challenging questions about how to respond to suffering with both Christian faith and hope:

"I don't want to be aggressive with the intellectualist rationalist side, but God tells us in Scripture everything we need to know for faith and life, but He doesn't tell us everything we want to know or everything that we ultimately will know. And He is God. And to whom else would we go? So, I trust Him because He is who He is, and He has been faithful.  And so, I won't get every answer this side of eternity...

Death is an enemy. Death is wicked. But it's the final enemy. It's our last battle. And after that, there will be no more tears. And so, we will have these answers, and we will know that God used it for His good."

Please keep praying for him and his family. (Full link below)

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:

I stole this idea and now use it with every single employee.

It’s the best illustration I’ve seen of teaching someone to be high agency.

It says there are 5 levels of work:

Level 1: “There is a problem.”

Level 2: “There is a problem, and I’ve found some causes.”

Level 3: “Here’s the problem, here are some possible causes, and here are some possible solutions.”

Level 4: “Here’s the problem, here’s what I think caused it, here are some possible solutions, and here’s the one I think we should pick.”

Level 5: “I identified a problem, figured out what caused it, researched how to fix it, and I fixed it. Just wanted to keep you in the loop.”

Using this framework, here’s what I say to every new employee…

You will live at Level 4 from Day 1 and as we build trust you will rise to Level 5.

Being high agency doesn’t just mean tackling problems in this way. It means your entire way of working should be oriented to being a Level 4+ employee.

Plz feel free to steal it as well.

And ty @stephsmithio for the framework!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! So this has been a strange one…After days of prepping to “throw down” one of the great Chapman Family Thanksgiving Feasts Mary Beth is famous for, we both got very sick during the night (I’ll withhold details, but not fun whatsoever!) So with a beautifully set table, a fridge full of tasty goodness, we had to call all the kids and Grandkids this morning to announce…”Thanksgiving has been cancelled!” Ok, not Thanksgiving actually, but our plans to celebrate had to be cancelled, and (a very very sad) Mary Beth & I have spent the better part of the day in bed trying to rest & recover. So while I’m laying there feeling very not Thanksgiving-y, I start to ponder this day through all the different lenses that people may be seeing it through, (dear friends who are facing their first Thanksgiving with an empty chair at the table where their son should’ve been to a family celebrating their first Thanksgiving with their new little boy and all the fun and joy that brings…all the sad, happy, broken stories that we are living in that don’t necessarily match the tv version of a Happy Thanksgiving. Well you know what happens when I ponder…songs happen! So I “rallied” and sat down today to share this one with you. Now, this is where I’m very tempted to insert many disclaimers about how “unfinished” the song is, and how “not great of a performance” it is, or how tomorrow when I’m feeling more like myself I may really second guess this decision, but with all of that as it is, I decided to share this with you all anyway…in hopes that whatever “condition” you find yourself in this Happy Thanksgiving Day, you will find encouragement, hope, and much to be thankful for along with me. Thanks for letting me share!

When a Midwesterner buys something at a significant discount it’s important to deflect any compliments about the item and explain how cheap it was

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"You may beat me, but you won't outwork me.
You have to understand, as a leader, there is no job too small or too big.
I will lead by example."

A leader doesn't talk about the standards of a program. A true leader lives those standards daily.
