mark.young@manateeherald.com Unfortunately our scheduled visit this week isn’t timed well with the Republican debate airing on the day I write this, so you can bet I’ll have a lot to say in our next visit on Monday. Spoiler alert: I’ll remind Chris Christie that given his scandals as NJ governor that he does not hold…
Some Manatee County commissioners are ready to make a disastrous decision that will potentially bring San Francisco’s homeless problem to Manatee. For decades, social workers have believed that the homeless community could be normalized if they were provided with free housing. Major cities like New York City, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles have provided…
mark.young@manateeherald.com I’m not one to be the pretentious guy who likes to say, “I told you so,” but umm … I told you so. If you remember when the speculation had only just begun on who may or may not get into the GOP presidential primary season, I predicted a Ron DeSantis run would prove…

The liberal elite media is throwing a tantrum because many Americans were rooting against the US Women’s soccer team at the World Cup. The media does not remind the public why so many Americans were rooting against the US team. We watched the US team refuse to sing our national anthem while it was played…
mark.young@manateeherald.com Grand juries are one of those things that was developed with good intentions, but in reality, it’s a worthless and potentially dangerous weapon used by potentially corrupt individuals to destroy lives. Thanks once again to President Donald J. Trump, the grand jury process is yet another swamp creature being exposed. Like Trump, even I…
mark.young@manateeherald.com As I sit here in the moment, Hunter Biden’s sweetheart plea deal is falling apart and justice may indeed move forward. It really wasn’t a good idea for Hunter’s legal team to try to commit fraud against a federal courthouse clerk by pretending to be part of a congressman’s legal team in asking for…
