Credit where it's due: if I had Ben Sasse's awful terminal diagnosis I'd want to live my remaining days with this spirit.

Former Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse says he doesn’t have much time left.

Sasse is just 53 years old.
Ben Sasse • @BenSasse G... Friends- This is a tough note to write, but since a bunch of you have started to suspect something, I'll cut to the chase: Last week I was diagnosed with metastasized, stage-four pancreatic cancer, and am gonna die. Advanced pancreatic is nasty stuff; it's a death sentence. But I already had a death sentence before last week too - we all do. I'm blessed with amazing siblings and half-a-dozen buddies that are genuinely brothers. As one of them put it, "Sure, you're on the clock, but we're all on the clock." Death is a wicked thief, and the bastard pursues us all. Still, I've got less time than I'd prefer. This is hard for someone wired to work and build, but harder still as a husband and a dad. I can't begin to describe how great my people are. During the past year, as we'd temporarily stepped back from public life and built new family rhythms, Melissa and I have grown even closer - and that on top of three decades of the best friend a man could ever have. Seven months ago, Corrie was commissioned into the Air Force and she's off at instrument and multi-engine rounds of flight school. Last week, Alex kicked butt graduating from college a semester early even while teaching gen chem, organic, and physics (she's a freak). This summer, 14-year-old Breck started learning to drive. (Okay, we've been driving off-book for six years — but now we've got paper to make it street-legal.) I couldn't be more grateful to constantly get to bear-hug this motley crew of sinners and saints. There's not a good time to tell your peeps you're now marching to the beat of a faster drummer - but the season of advent isn't the worst. As a Christian, the weeks running up to Christmas are a time to orient our hearts toward the hope of what's to come. There's not a good time to tell your peeps you're now marching to the beat of a faster drummer — but the season of advent isn't the worst. As a Christian, the weeks running up to Christmas are a time to orient our hearts toward the hope of what's to come. Not an abstract hope in fanciful human goodness; not hope in vague hallmark-sappy spirituality; not a bootstrapped hope in our own strength (what foolishness is the evaporating-muscle | once prided myself in). Nope — often we lazily say "hope" when what we mean is "optimism." To be clear, optimism is great, and it's absolutely necessary, but it's insufficient. It's not the kinda thing that holds up when you tell your daughters you're not going to walk them down the aisle. Nor telling your mom and pops they're gonna bury their son. A well-lived life demands more reality — stiffer stuff. That's why, during advent, even while still walking in darkness, we shout our hope — often properly with a gravelly voice soldiering through tears. Such is the calling of the pilgrim. Those who know ourselves to need a Physician should dang well look forward to enduring beauty and eventual fulfillment. That is, we hope in a real Deliverer — a rescuing God, born at a real time, in a real place. But the eternal city - with foundations and without cancer - is not yet. Remembering Isaiah's prophecies of what's to come doesn't dull the pain of current sufferings. But it does put it in eternity's perspective: "When we've been there 10,000 years...We've no less days to sing God's praise." I'll have more to say. I'm not going down without a fight. One sub-part of God's grace is found in the jawdropping advances science has made the past few years in immunotherapy and more. Death and dying aren't the same — the process of dying is still something to be lived. We're zealously embracing a lot of gallows humor in our house, and I've pledged to do my part to run through the irreverent tape. But for now, as our family faces the reality of treatmen…

new wrinkle to @BenSasse shaming — UF drop in rankings

Mori Hosseini, a large residential builder in the state and a major DeSantis benefactor, chair of UF BOT.

It pained him, that his oldest daughter had selected U Michigan for college bc she thought no Fl school was good enough🤣

Best piece EVER on how KIDS are SHUT INS:

"Nearly 2/3 of 17-yos can’t leave their neighborhoods w/out adult supervision. Is it reasonable to expect them to vote at 18? To fight a war?"

Screens are their ONLY WAY OUT.

Kudos @BenSasse

Reminded of these bangers
May 4, 2016 tweet from Bill Kristol: (note to @BenSasse from an older parent with grown kids: time spent parenting little kids is overrated) quoting a tweet from then-Senator @BenSasse (R-NE): (note to reporters: Such a leader should be able to campaign 24/7 for the next 6 mons; thus likely can’t be an engaged parent w/little kids) from a July 2020 New York Times profile of Elon Musk, as excerpted on etonline.com: “Well, babies are just eating and pooping machines, you know?” he says. “Right now there’s not much I can do. Grimes has a much bigger role than me right now. When the kid gets older, there will be more of a role for me."  Musk is dad to six kids in total and is basing his parenting views off of how he's handled his other children.  "I think just doing what I’ve done with my other kids. If I have a trip for Tesla to China, for example, I’ll bring the kids with me and we’ll go see the Great Wall or we took the bullet train from Beijing to Xian and saw the Terracotta Warriors,” he says.  orig. article: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/25/style/elon-musk-maureen-dowd.html etonline article: https://www.etonline.com/elon-musk-says-grimes-has-a-much-bigger-role-parenting-son-x-ae-a-xii-150358

So the GOP is just currently covering up potential sex crimes against children by one of their members and instead of releasing the report, they are trying to make that person the Attorney General of the United States? Do we have that right?

I saw conservative pundits praising Ben Sasse because he has a terminal illness, so I had to refresh my memory on his political stances. On healthcare alone, he stridently opposed and tried to repeal the ACA. A deeply evil man. #BenSasse #fascism
