Tales from the Mark Side: AI vs. AI: The battle for humanity

mark.young@manateeherald.com Artificial Intelligence. On the surface, it sounds like an oxymoron – kind of like military intelligence where our top thinkers believed it would take up to two years for the Taliban to take back Afghanistan upon Joe Biden’s surrender. The secondary definition of “artificial,” is “insincere,” or essentially fake, like giving your boss an…

DeSantis Is Rocking The Education Establishment

College campuses have evolved into leftist communes because the business community has been too busy growing their businesses and not focused on what has been taught in the classrooms. George Bernard Shaw famously said: “Those that can do; those that can’t, teach.” Universities have become a landing place for leftist ideologues who hate the free…

Tales From the Mark Side: Happy … um … er … birthing parent day?

mark.young@manateeherald.com I hope everyone who is choosing to use a male pronoun had a great birthing parent day on Sunday. Although I’m not sure the father is really a birthing parent. Wouldn’t we be more of a birthing depositor? We really don’t do much when it comes to having kids. I give women all the…

Whatever happened to women’s lib and giving women a chance to succeed?  For years the Democrat party called for treating women fairly and investing an equal amount of money in women’s sports as was invested in men’s sports.  Today, however, we…

Tales from the Mark Side: Your children are not your own?

mark.young@manateeherald.com This December, I’ll hit over 30 years of matrimony. It’s taken four marriages to reach that milestone, but I still count it. Some say I’m a quitter because I’ve been divorced so many times but I counter that argument in saying that you aren’t a quitter if you keep trying. Truth be told, my…

Tales from the Mark Side: Keep Prosecuting Trump if You Dare

mark.young@manateeherald.com I’d really love to believe that most people understand the old saying, “Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.” But in today’s wacky and wild world within the Ununited Banana Republic of America, it’s pretty self evident that liberals can fool other liberals over and over and over again….

Tales from the Mark Side: GOP field growing with those who don’t know their limits

mark.young@manateeherald.com As the GOP primary field grows, it’s just proof that if a politician runs for office you are either a narcissist, one in the making or have the narcissistic tendency lying dormant, ready to be awakened. We see that in our local politics a lot where the candidate comes off as a genuine everyday…

Democrats Want Welfare Without Work

During the depression of the 1930’s, President Roosevelt established the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) to help young men survive the economic troubles. The program was set up for unemployed, unmarried men ages 18-25 but was later expanded to ages 17-28. The young men would do manual labor in rural areas around the country. They would…
