A little snippet on the first debate. It seems that even Fox News can’t keep him from interrupting Biden. But there was a very simple solution to it. Why didn’t anyone think of it? Just turn of Trump’s mic during Biden’s two-minute periods. Continue reading A Simple Solution…
I have said many times here on RJsCorner that the main problem with the world is “lazy minds”. But, maybe I should have more empathy for those who just don’t like to exercise their brain to become better people and better citizens of the world community. They just don’t seem to care about that and that befuddles me. Of course, I believe that most people … Continue reading Thinking Is Just Not Their Strong Point…
Let’s face it the majority of voters in this country simply push the party button during most elections. They say I am a Republican/Democrat and I don’t care to get bogged down in the details beyond that. But, the problem is that the two parties are constantly evolving into something else than what they maybe were when you declared your allegiance. That is what this … Continue reading Red & Blue – A Little History Of Politics
The “For Idiots” book series is very popular in the US. How that came to be, I don’t know? I can offer two alternatives and both align to my philosophical stands. One is that lazy minds just don’t want to take the time to learn a topic in any details. The other is that the Idiots books simplify things down to the bare essentials. Ok, … Continue reading Climate Change For Idiots
When I gave $500 of my pandemic check to the Biden campaign I had no idea of what was to follow. I knew the Democratic Party was not that different from the GOP, at least before the Republicans sold their soul to #CO3 (current Oval Office occupant), but I was hoping they would thank me and then go about efficiently using my money to defeat … Continue reading 250+ Emails Asking For MORE…
One of the most basic tenets in the Evangelical Community is the idea that everyone must be “saved” in order to get to heaven. I struggled with this concept for years before I came across the book If Grace Is True by Philip Gulley. He finally convinced me that that belief, at least as Evangelicals see it, is simply man-made. For this Sunday’s post I … Continue reading Evangelicals Ask “Are You Saved?”
I spent many of my 2019 µRV trips going to reenactments. The picture above is one of my favorite reenactors. He seems to just somehow be transported forward in time. It was taken at the Mississinewa Indiana reenactment of the battle of 1812. Yeah, that was a war that most don’t remember anymore. It was where Britain tried to re-capture its colonies. 🤓 I will … Continue reading Reenactments
I have never been a competitive person, except with myself. I don’t think there is an age that has gone by that didn’t have one group or person thinking that he is better than another. That feeling of superiority is just part of human nature. But, in my mind it is a more negative part than a positive one. We all learn about pissing-contests early … Continue reading Competition Just Isn’t My Thing
There are so many things that have turned sour these last four years it’s difficult to rank them anymore. But I do think that one of the worst is how #CO3 (current Oval Office occupant) has turned public health into a political issue! The result has been 150,000 and climbing totally unnecessary deaths! I know there are 200,000 deaths now but only 150,000 of them … Continue reading When Public Health Becomes A Political Issue
Like everything else that comes out of his mouth. It must be all about him and therefore a lie. 200,000 Deaths to date!! Just one of the thousands of lies he has told this year. 42 Days Continue reading When Will It End?? – 42 Days…
I know I am on the 2020 Election battlefield for another 43 days but sometimes you just gotta take a break. That’s what I am doing with this post George Burns sang he wished he was 80 again, he lived to be 100 years and 2 months old. Well, I likely won’t even reach the age of 80, so I want to wish I was … Continue reading I Wish I Was 30 Again…
I want to present you with one of my 5star photos from my portfolio. It is of a junkyard in La Fruto Colorado. We happened upon it on our return trip from Santa Fe in 2015. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw it so had to go back for another view. It was a beautiful day in a very beautiful part of … Continue reading Most Beautiful
I thought I would let a picture say a 1,000 words for today’s post. If everyone wore a mask the pandemic would be over in three months instead of the year+ that it will now take with all the lemmings out there. See the last definition here for who lemmings are. I couldn’t have said it better. Kinda describes MAGA to a T doesn’t it? … Continue reading Look At Those Sheep!
For this Sunday’s post I am re-directing you to my RedLetterLiving site on this topic Continue reading To My Evangelical Friends…
Don’t you realize how much damage you are doing to Christ’s church? JUST QUIT IT! Why can’t you see how you are acting is driving people away? JUST QUIT IT! I know you are deadly afraid that everyone is now looking elsewhere for their spiritual needs, but don’t you realize that maybe the primary reason for that is you and your current actions? JUST QUIT … Continue reading To My Evangelical Friends.
Since I am declaring Saturdays for the next couple of months my “Virtual µRV Trip” day I am bringing over some post from my now resurrected InSearchOfAmerica travel blog. There are hundreds of places that you might like to visit in real once the pandemic is lifted. We just happened to come across this museum on our way home from Santa Fe this Spring (2015). … Continue reading Praire Museum – Colby Kansas
Being a blogger is a major activity in my life now. It allows me to make connections with people around the world. I have been blogging since 2008 and have written thousands of posts in about a dozen different blogs. RJsCorner is the most successful if I use the volume of visitors as a metric but, I also have three other blogs that I treasure … Continue reading Introducing RJsWorld – A New Way To View My Blogs.
If it weren’t so tragically true this would be funny. But there is nothing funny about this most defective person or the people who ignorantly support him. 48 Days Continue reading If It Wasn’t So Tragically True…
Let’s get away from politics for at least today. I have always been a dreamer making up stories about where I would be in my life xx years in the future. Those early dreams spanned from being a Van Gogh suicide all the way to being famous like John Steinbeck or Jack London (Will Rogers would be added a little later). My college years pretty … Continue reading I’ve Always Been A Writer… Except When I Wasn’t
Like so many others, I found this T-shirt in the back of my closet the other day. I always wanted to post about it, so here it is, even if it is 4 years late. 🤪 I think one of my winter projects will be to make digital emoticons of the symbols for use on my blogs and for anyone else who might want them. … Continue reading Hobo Signs & Symbols
A hundred years ago most people who lived in rural communities did not have either electricity or telephones. Today the same is true for reliable Internet connections. Fast Internet requires fiber-optic connections. Most living in the hinterland are like me are still relegated to that 50-year-old copper cable coming down our road sometimes bowing only a couple of feet above the ground. If you are … Continue reading More About Starlink
I write a lot about MAGA folks (Make America Great Again) in trying to understand why they so enthusiastically support such a defective person. I often write about them as if they were some monolithic mass who rose from the swamps of time. Of course, I know that they are just a hodgepodge of disenchanted groups who all have one thing in common. FEAR!! It … Continue reading A Never-Ending Search Of Understanding MAGA.
This is the third Sunday post here at RJsCorner where I am re-visiting some posts I wrote over at RedLetterLiving about this book by Philip Gulley. It is one of a handful of books that fundamentally changed my spiritual life. I am visiting these posts again before starting up this blog that has been in hiatus for over six years now. Post 5: August 16, … Continue reading If God Is Love — Finishing It Up.
This is not what I planned for 2020, but then it is what no one planned. I had 8 tentative trips planned for µRV this year and have taken zero! It’s just too dangerous for us seniors to get out in among all the unmasked MAGA folks. But since I am a techie I thought I would use the next few Saturday posts taking you … Continue reading A Virtual µRV Trip…
Let’s never forget the 3,000 who lost their lives in the 911 tragedy. But They Dwarf In Comparison To Let’s never forget that the current Oval Office occupant is directly responsible for 114,000 who have lost their lives in this pandemic. If only he had, just once, done just an average job instead of concentrating on himself, those lives would have been spared. I’m not … Continue reading Let’s Never Forget
In this world of “Us vs Them” so many think that you have to be on their side or the wrong side. I just don’t see it that way. I kind of sit in the middle of the things as shown in the graphic above. I realize that if you are not white or if you are poor or any of a number of other … Continue reading Not Mutually Exclusive
If you believe the polls then you have to accept that up to 40% of potential voters have drank the GOP Kool-Aid that evaporates brain cells. The only cells left seem to be those that hold fear emotions. Go ahead and shout that I am painting with too broad a brush. But, there is no logic that I can conjure up that will allow me … Continue reading How Can They Keep Supporting Him??
As mentioned in last Tuesday’s post I gave my pandemic check to ensure that #CO3 (current Oval Office occupant) and his cohorts in the Senate vacate the premises this coming January. I couldn’t think of a better place to use that money. I was hoping that they appreciated it since it was the most money I have ever given to a political campaign. This election … Continue reading I Gave, But Now…
I guess #CO3 (Current Oval Office occupant) thinks he can eliminate the virus by just wishing it away, or at least surrounding himself with people who won’t remind him that it happened on his watch. 180,000+ people have died of the virus in this country. That’s 60 times the people who died on 911! He hopes we will ignore that fact as long as he … Continue reading The Political Strategy Of Wishing It Away…
This is a continuation of my look back on my blog RedLetterLiving blog before I activate it again. This is part two of a series I wrote in June 2011 about the book “If God Is Love” by Philip Gulley. That book changed my mind about so many things. It kept me on the path to Jesus when so many others are destroying that legacy. … Continue reading If God Is Love… Part 2
I know I usually put these posts out on Sunday, but since I already have the second part of three scheduled I am using it for today. I couldn’t have described the “fruit of the Spirit” any better than this. Quit connecting your political agenda to your spiritual one. As you will see in the coming years, maybe months, it ends up destroying both. Continue reading The Fruit Of The Spirit
As my regular readers might know the book shown just below has been on my annual reading list for the last dozen years. Last week was the time I did my 2020 reading of the Delany sisters. This book which is mainly words from the sisters is just so pointed and down to earth about what life was like for people of color in the … Continue reading It Wasn’t Meant For Us…
Anyone who has been around RJsCorner for very long knows what I think about unearned income. It is outrageous that money received that was not earned is often taxed at a lower rate than the money you earn be the sweat of your brow. To me, that is most fundamentally flawed part of our tax structure and needs to change. The vast majority of unearned … Continue reading Tax Reform – Unearned Income
I won’t accept the word “if” in the graphic above as what happens to the GOP would be the least of our problems if he is not defeated. To see him re-elected would mean that we are no longer a country of responsible citizens who take our right to vote serious enough. It would mean that we are certainly destined for going down on the … Continue reading When He Loses…
I don’t know how much high school history covers our wars now, so many of you might not know what D-Day was all about. Let me give you a very short history lesson before I talk about the main topic of this post. D-Day occurred on June 6, 1944. At that time Hitler had taken over much of Europe and London was in a constantly … Continue reading D-Day Is Here…
