The New York Yankees select RHP David Leslie out of the University of Pittsburgh with their 9th-round pick!! (Pick 278)
Leslie punched out 75 batters in 65 innings last season
2026 was his 1st season of D1; he played at D3 Grove City College for 3 seasons. Nicknamed "D3 Jesus" 😂
Some dismiss Sowell's claim because a quarter of U.S. workers were already unemployed when FDR took office. They ignore how Hoover's high-wage policies, including the Davis-Bacon and Norris-LaGuardia Acts, boosted unemployment. Details here: https://t.co/r2lEXeLduP
Thanks to Donald Trump, we now have two Democratic parties. With the defeat of @RepThomasMassie for being a principled fiscal conservative, the Republican Party basically exists in name only. We have two big-government political parties, each offering its own brand of socialism.

Roger Garrison's Mises University lecture on ABCT was my lightbulb moment. I decided then and there to pursue a PhD in econ at Auburn. I took a few of his classes and enjoyed every minute of it — the readings, lectures, the famous PowerPoints, even the exams and assignments.
So it's no exaggeration to say that he almost singlehandedly diverted my life, in a direction that I love. The butterfly effect of Garrison's influence on my life includes finding an amazing wife and being blessed with three amazing kids.
My favorite thing about Professor Garrison was his sense of humor. It was subtle, whimsical, and smart. While the jokes in his PowerPoints were obviously planned, he had a quick wit in conversation. I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him over lunch or in his office hours. Hopefully I didn't bug him too much with my many questions about Austrian econ!
He will be greatly missed, and not just by me, as anyone can tell by the remarks by those who knew him.
