mark.young@manateeherald.com I know the Manatee Herald will take some heat for allowing a Diversity, Equity and Inclusive writer like myself staying on board. But I am a proud Conservative, white, heterosexual older man and I give full credit to the Manatee Herald for being bold enough to keep someone like myself around. I’m white and…
mark.young@manateeherald.com Can someone please find me a reasonable liberal? I just have not been able to do it despite having – more than I care to admit – democratic friends. These are intelligent people but finding a shred of common sense within them is like finding a pot of gold at the end of a…
mark.young@manateeherald.com There are times when I’m pretty sure that Facebook retaliates against me. Not by restricting my account because even their army of 41,000 fact checkers can never dispute the facts I present in my postings. That, by the way, is proof that every unqualified person out there who lacks intelligence and common sense can…

It’s like watching your two best friends fight. It’s hard to root for either one and you just hope that neither…
Zzzzzz. Another slow news week. All we’ve had this week – so far – is actual banking evidence of Joe Biden’s financial corruption and the selling out of America, California’s insane slavery reparations recommendation and the equivalent of another Salem witch trial against President Donald J. Trump. Oh, and Tucker Carlson announces he’ll do his…
mark.young@manateeherald.com I admit that I wonder from time to time in the midst of today’s global insanity if we are nearing the end of days. “The end is near,” has been a warning cry dating back to the beginning of recorded history. There was even a doomsday prediction involving a hen in 1806 where the…
mark.young@manateeherald.com We have talked some about how the left’s internal battle was won by the crazy socialist progressive wing of the democratic party. It’s a party that is simply unrecognizable from just a decade ago and whether we want to admit it or not, there is a similar internal battle taking place within the Republican…
