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 … 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 … 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 … 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 … 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 … 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 … 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 … 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! … 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 … 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. … 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.

Since I am house bound through these winter months I have been watching more TV. It seems as though one commercial is from a drug manufacturer convincing you to buy their product and the next is from a lawyer wanting you to sue someone. That is what this post is all about.

It seems that Joe Biden is the “fall-back” guy for those who want to take baby steps in recovering from the previous three years. I have serious doubts figuratively and literally on that approach. That is what this post is all about.

For the most part I greatly admire the Amish tradition, that is except for their practice of shunning. But, in their mind it is necessary to keep the faith pure. For me, I need to keep my sanity in the coming year and I think a shunning will help me do that. That is what this post is all about.

For the life of me, I can’t understand how anyone can be hyper-sensitive to criticism but spewing it out by the bucket full every day? Most of us know the Golden Rule, but I guess to him it is “Get as much gold as you can, anyway necessary”. I will give him the doubt by saying he probably didn’t get much basic education in morals and such as his father was too busy being a slum-lord in NYC at the time. Maybe “Doesn’t Fall Far From the Tree” is a good description. Here is a more about that Continue reading Ultra-Sensitive To Criticism, But…
Going forward, that’s how I am determined to stay up with this important political season. Just let the political ugliness run off my back and not even notice it. I know all the attacks from #CO3 (current Oval Office occupant) are not directed towards me but I tend to take everything personally that I read from that despicable person. Some say that those with Aspie traits lack empathy, but I really believe it is quite the opposite. We tend to personalize everything, so what affects others tends to affect us too. I gotta get over that feeling if I am … Continue reading I Gotta Learn How To Be A Duck
