1 week ago | ladailypost.com | Diane Denish |Carol Clark

By DIANE DENISHCorner To [email protected] is the newest buzzword in the world of technology and its use is growing every day. Many of us are curious about what it really is and more importantly what it does. Artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction.

By DIANE DENISHCorner To [email protected], Warren Buffett surprised his shareholders by announcing he was stepping aside as the CEO of Berkshire Hathway. Warren Buffett is not like other billionaires who show off their wealth with rocket ships or spend it buying political favor. He’s the best of the billionaires. Financial journalist Andrew Sorokin termed him the “conscience of capitalism”. I’ve been a follower of Warren Buffett for 30 years.

By DIANE DENISHCorner To CornerIt looks like we need to talk about the Postal Service again. Eighteen months ago I wrote a column about the U. S. Postal Service recounting some of its history and its challenges. Here is some of what I wrote:The post office was founded by the Second Continental Congress in 1775, and Benjamin Franklin was the first postmaster general.
Denish: DOGE And Musk Impact New Mexicans

Mar 10, 2025 | ladailypost.com | Diane Denish |Carol Clark

By DIANE DENISHCorner To [email protected] Musk has been dominating the headlines recently with his slash and burn efforts as head of “DOGE” – the so-called Department of Government Efficiency. The world’s richest man is everywhere, firing federal workers, in the Oval Office, you name it. I wanted to learn more about Musk, so I listened to the biography of Musk by Walter Isaacson (20 hours).

Feb 27, 2025 | ladailypost.com | Diane Denish |Carol Clark

By DIANE DENISHCorner To CornerBuilding a Barn takes a carpenter or a legislature. I was reminded recently of a quote by former U.S. House Speaker Sam Rayburn: “Any Jackass can tear down a barn. It takes a carpenter to build one.” In a recent Senate Rules committee on Feb. 17, Senate Joint Resolution 6, sponsored by Sen. Michael Padilla (D-Bernalillo) had its first committee hearing. This is the Early Childhood Trust Fund Constitutional Amendment.

Dec 10, 2024 | ladailypost.com | Diane Denish |Carol Clark

By DIANE DENISHCorner to Corner© 2024 New Mexico News ServicesNote to mainstream media, Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and sanctimonious opinion writers, TV pundits and elected officials: SPARE ME THE OUTRAGE ABOUT THE HUNTER BIDEN PARDON. Think about how you would protect your child from continued threatened prosecution or, put another way, how would you give your child a second chance for taking accountability and reversing course in a life that had unraveled?
Denish: Post-Election Rumination Finds Silver Linings

Dec 7, 2024 | ladailypost.com | Diane Denish |Carol Clark

By DIANE DENISHCorner to Corner© 2024 New Mexico News ServicesNow that the election is over I see some silver linings, and have some observations a bit outside of the daily drumming of announcements and alarm bells. I recognize readers may disagree or have a different point of view. Silver lining: From the moment he is sworn in Trump is a lame duck. The term “lame duck” means not being able to keep up with the rest of the flock and becoming subject to predators.
