I encourage you to consider that the @cato.org is right about this
The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

To me it is tragic that, just because of several hundred disgusting email exchanges with an international sex criminal, CBS viewers will be denied some of the most outrageously specious "wellness" advice imaginable. How are people going to find out about the chalk supplements he sells now?

I’m thrilled to share that I am officially working with McFarland & Company on a book (working title): “Salón de la Fama: Immortals from Latin America’s Baseball Halls of Fame.”

My baseball research journey over the last 20 years has been an evolution.

Catherine O’Hara came in to our office to guest on @bullseye.maximumfun.org years ago. I don’t think I’ve met a more delightful person. Hilarious, beautiful, wild, sharp. Just everything you’d wish. An absolute genius who will be dearly missed.

Here's the book I want someone to write: a history of Topps cards; yes, all the sports ones, but also the oddballs (Batman TV show, Evel Knievel, Mars Attacks, ad infinitum).

I don't have a title yet! But man, what a story it might be.
