Tales from the Mark Side: Indoctrination in our schools is just the tip of the iceberg

mark.young@manateeherald.com In today’s episode of Captain Obvious, the House Judiciary Committee has determined Biden’s justice department had no basis to target parents who were raising educational concerns across America. How shocking. The report said, “This weaponization of law-enforcement powers against American parents exercising their First Amendment rights is dangerous.” Ya think? It’s pretty amazing common…

Tales from the Mark Side: Do liberals ever do a good job? It’s a rhetorical question

mark.young@manateeherald.com I’m sure you’ve had your fill of my personal banking issues given my rant during our last visit, but my first attempt at transitioning to a new bank wasn’t what I expected.

Tales from the Mark Side: The trouble with liberals …

I tried to sympathize with them because we’ve learned that they suffer from a mental disorder. Conservatives are a compassionate people after all, but we do have our limits. I’ve tried to engage…

Tales from the Mark Side: Let’s move on from COVID and find a cure for liberalism

mark.young@manateeherald.com For most of us, the origins of the COVID pandemic was pretty obvious from the onset.
