mark.young@manateeherald.com It was a little laughable watching Fox News brag about how 13 million people tuned in to watch the first GOP debate. I laughed the next day when they released their numbers because Tucker Carlson’s X (formerly Twitter) interview with President Trump began with 75 million views and at last check was up to…
Car prices are rising for hard working Americans. Higher interest rates and government regulations are making the cost of car ownership much more expensive and both of these reasons can be attributed to Democrat Party initiatives. We often hear the Democrats claim to be looking out for working Americans. In reality, their policies benefit the…
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…

It is ironic that the Democrat Party, which claims to be fighting for minorities, is determined to quash charter schools. Charter schools have proven they can raise the test scores of minority students but…
mark.young@manateeherald.com Unlike most people, I pay particular attention to the news on Friday afternoons, because I know it’s a day and time where most people don’t. I used to dread having an important story released on a Friday afternoon because I knew the numbers would be dismal. People have lives and after a hard week…
