I’m not sure when the Republican Party stopped being the party of Lincoln and started being the cloaked party of white power. I think it was kind of a slow evolution. But, it is obvious that they now represent the party of white power, the extremely wealthy, and little else. No, I am not talking about the radical fringe hate groups of today. Instead, it … Continue reading The Republicans Have Always Felt Victimized…
I don’t know why, but I am reminded again and again lately that the USA is just a “babe in the woods” of the world. We have a mere four hundred-year history and that’s not even enough to say we are mature, we are still teenagers. From what I have been reading much of Europe and especially China and Japan see us as a possible … Continue reading We Are A Teenage Country Who Think We Know It All.
I have always been proud to call myself a Baby Boomer. In fact, I am at the head of that herd. I have always been proud that we made changes to our nation that made America a better place to live. We created massive protests to get us out of a war on the other side of the world were we simply didn’t belong. We … Continue reading Tainting The Baby Boomer Brand!
I just need to step away from the idiocy in the Oval Office and the pandemic for a while. Starting today I’m going “off the reservation” for probably the next month or so here at RJsCorner. What you will see during this period will sometimes be quite different from my usual posts. What you won’t see is anything to do with the incompetent in the … Continue reading Going Off The Reservation…
I always get a good chuckle when I read about conspiracy theories. In most of them they give the conspirator much more intelligence that they would ever have. In that light I am giving you my conspiracy theory on how the current Oval Office occupant (#CO3) plans to change the world. Until now I couldn’t imagine why #CO3 is so enamored with Putin. He simply … Continue reading MAGA Master Conspiracy
We made it to another 4th of July… Thank you Lord… I am holding off on all any celebrations until we have a reason to do so. Yeah, the pandemic has put a shadow on this day, but the current Oval Office occupant #CO3 has me wondering just how many more 4ths we will get if he has his way. I just dream of the … Continue reading The 4th…
I have been living by this mantra for most of my life, always dreaming that my life will get better if I really want it too. But, since I have lived on this earth for more than seventy years and likely only have a handful left, maybe I should accept that the best is past. Given the pandemic and all the anxiety that it has … Continue reading The Best Is Yet To Come?
It seems that the best argument that some have about not wearing a mask while in public is that it is “government intrusion into our personal lives!!!” They say they would rather die of the virus than wear a mask! I don’t know about you but that sounds pretty lame and selfish to me. There just seems to be a flag waving, chest pounding war … Continue reading Government Intrusion??
Before I get down to the crux of this post I want to tell you about one of the most heart wrenching books I have ever read. Its title was The Cry and the Covenant. The book was written in 1949 and I read it in the early 1960s. It was a historical fiction but based on the life of Hungarian physician in the 1920s. … Continue reading If Everyone Wore A Mask…
In light of yesterdays post about the world having pity on us, I thought I had better put out an immediate post about how we can show the world that we are doing something about our condition. That is what this post is all about.

I have been pondering about what is the best way to spend my stimulus check that is supposedly now in my account. I want to make sure that I use it to provide needed assistance to us as a Nation. I figured it out. It is going to the Biden campaign to make sure that the incompetent narcissist currently occupying the Oval Office sinks back … Continue reading I Know What I Am Going To Do With My Stimulus Check
I will say that given this pandemic and what it is doing to our world, making America great again does have some credence now. How we go about that in the “real” world, not the one of self-denial and pretend-facts, is what this post is all about.

There is a bible verse that Jesus says “the poor will always be among you”. Some branches of Evangelicals twist that verse to downplay his command to help the poor and to be your brother’s keeper. In this post I will twist it to say that those who are self-centered and empathy deficient will always be among us. This post is what to do about that.

Thanks to the New Yorker for this cover. It made me laugh, and we all need as much of those as we can get. Continue reading Everyone Should Wear A Mask
I heard the words in the title from a recent re-look at the movie series The Matrix and thought immediately how that should affect how we approach life, particularly during the current times. That is what this post is all about.
