Damned if you do, Damned if you don't scenario

May 11, 2024
Most of the ‘baby boomer’ generation look at protesting students and others with a bit of scorn. After all, do these kids really know what they are protesting about? Do they know the history behind the creation of Israel after WWII? Do they have a real concept of the Holocaust? Do they understand the constant […]

...and here is how it is going to play out

May 4, 2024
The six month countdown has begun. It seems like an eternity that President Biden and former President Trump became their Party favorites for this November’s crucial election. Going by previous playbooks I can foretell just how this is going to play out. Trump and his Red Hatters will dominate the news and early polls. Republicans […]

It’s Time to Trash Tenney

April 27, 2024
Congresswoman Claudia Tenney, representing the newly formed 24th Congressional District (that’s us) needs to be heaped on the political trash heap. Let me count the ways. She has purchased ads running on network affiliate television stations during prime local news broadcasts - among the most expensive airtime to purchase.  I certainly don’t mind a congress […]

Ah, warfare, it is changing quickly

April 20, 2024
As the troops stormed the beaches, low-flying air support was seen overhead. Gun emplacements garnered the share of victims as the number of fatalities grew. Meanwhile carpet bombing slaughtered innocents over the populous city and fires raged seemingly everywhere. Wait, stop, that was wars, battles of the past. Today’s prime video shows more distinct methods […]

Believe it or not...

April 13, 2024
Yes folks, there are still many people who do not believe in climate change. There are those who point out that in 1922 there was a record high temperature on December 14th, that tied the record  this past December 14th, therefore climate change theorists have no idea what they are talking about. According to the […]

Rage vs enraged

Smell Swell

March 30, 2024
‘Secret’ is/was an antiperspirant/deodorant for women manufactured by Proctor & Gamble. It is sold in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Secret was launched as the first female deodorant in 1956, after more than 10 years of research that began in 1945. Don’t get me wrong, women wanting to smell attractive to the other sex […]

March 23, 2024
It was the closing months of World War II, a joint British and American aerial bombing attack on the city of Dresden, Germany saw the Allies  conduct four raids between 13 and 15 February 1945. More than 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices fell on the city. Up to 25,000 people were killed. […]

A plethora of embarrassments

March 16, 2024
Look, any time I can use a high  class word like plethora, I will. Definition: a large or excessive amount of (something):...a bunch of... This is where I once again take pot shots at the very dumb Republican Party. Following President Biden’s State of Union Address, where pretty much everybody said he did an outstanding […]

Please Biden and Trump...go away!

March 9, 2024
The arena is pretty well set and pandering seems to be the winner. Come this November, unless one, or both of the presidential candidates gets convicted, outright dies, or falls into irreversible heath or scandal, it will be Joe Biden for the Democrats and Donald Trump for the Republicans. Yes folks, we’re screwed. On the […]

I don't wanna go to bed

March 2, 2024
If you recall early childhood, or are the parents of young children, the phrase "I don’t wanna go to bed" is commonplace. But why? If you are into deep thought, perhaps denying the necessity to sleep has an underlying purpose. Simply put, bedtime deniers fear missing out on something, anything that could happen while sleeping.

Cancer...again!

February 24, 2024
It has been 12 years since my diagnosis and subsequent treatment for cancer. One of the better parts of the disease is that, in many cases, it can be treated and life goes on. In my case, the doctor broke my illness in a matter-of-fact way by saying yes, you have bladder cancer, but we […]

Finances in the Holdraker Household

February 17, 2024
I consider myself a bit street smart and along with my college degrees and all I have learned, read and taken in over the past 7+ decades, a bit knowledgable on numerous subjects. History, wars, political knowledge, I’m your man, finances, however, are a foreign language. I liked algebra and geometry so much in high […]

It would be funny, if not so sad

February 10, 2024
Oh, oh, you can tell the 2024 elections are heating up. The political stunts by both sides, but especially the Republican Party, are nothing short of  a national embarrassment. Former President Trump has such a hold on the Party that many Republicans fear they will be targets in his "retribution" campaign. The former president is […]

Democracy on the Decline

January 27, 2024
This year there are about 50 countries around the world holding national elections. Most have their eyes on the contest in the United States and how it will affect such dynamics as treaties, economics, trade and alliances. For instance, Sweden, a country with 75 past years of neutrality is about to join NATO (North Atlantic […]
