Tales of the Mark Side

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…

mark.young@manateeherald.com Have you ever been in an argument with someone and present the facts to them, ask them for their facts and all they can do in their frustration is say something along the lines of, “I’ll get back to you on that.” That’s essentially what democrats did this week when they released a brief…
