People should remember this is a paid political commercial. The person reading the script may know nothing about the issue. They’re there to deliver a message. Why put so much weight on it? I still want to know how Jackson became a billionaire off Medicare. #vote

I love these political commercials. Take the one in Georgia supporting Action Jackson. They find someone, pay them a few dollars, hand them a script to study, then put them on camera saying something bad about his opponent. #vote

Unless some of that government money didn’t go where it was supposed to go, I have questions. He looks and smells like a crook to me. We don’t need another Trump, do we?

Haven’t spoken seriously to all you folks in a while. For those living in Georgia, who are you looking at in the upcoming election for governor? I want to talk about Action Jackson running for governor. How does a man become a billionaire receiving gov money to handle medical issues for seniors?

The reason I think things are changing is not just because women are getting used to taking care of themselves and doing a good job at it. Men have changed a lot as well. The old men ran into battle and fought in wars. Now, some men run away from bugs and sadly enough in my old age I’m one of them.

Now it feels like a lot of that connection is fading with the younger generation. More and more, screens are taking the place of people. It’s strange watching laptops and phones slowly become dinner companions instead of friends and family.

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

When I was younger, going out to eat with someone meant conversation, laughter, and enjoying the evening together. People actually talked to each other. You looked forward to sharing ideas, stories, and time face to face.

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

I went to a restaurant the other day and noticed something that really struck me. So many people were sitting across from just one companion… a laptop instead of another human being. It made me stop and think about how much things have changed.

People from New York know a flim-flam man because they’ve seen them on every corner hustling people out of money. We recognize that behavior. I’m sorry for your loss. I hope the future treats you better than I think it will.

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

What you’ve done is set yourselves back years, and Black people even longer. Voting is not a joke. You have to know more than you think. People from New York City could have told you about Trump because they’ve seen con men and hustlers like him before.

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

Thought I’d remind people about the thing in the White House. Here’s some history for you. It’s going to take years to recover from the damage caused during those four years. Some of you voted for him, but the effects left behind will take years and years to repair.

Remember the pro-Nazi Americans, the movements against African Americans, and the anti-gay groups. All claimed to be pro American. The real question we must ask is simple: what version of America are they talking about?

080

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

My friends ask me about MAGA. I tell them this is not new. Long before it, there were always people who called themselves pro American while standing against other Americans. That contradiction has been part of this country for a long time.

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

People always ask me about the past and how it compares to today. There is no simple answer. We once thought the worst president we would ever see was Richard Nixon. As it turns out, we were wrong.

1113

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

You’re right it will take at least 10 or more years

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

I am getting tired and emotionally drained watching this unfold. One of my regrets is that I will not live long enough to see the rebuild, which will take years. I just hope the younger generation can fix the mess we are heading into. We will talk again soon. Take care.

This feels like a war of choice that could last a while, similar to the so-called short engagements like Iraq and Afghanistan. He does not seem to have any idea how to get us out of what could become serious devastation, and that is hard to watch.

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

Hi there, it’s the old guy here. I just turned 92 years old. I feel like I am slowing down a little, but I have to keep moving forward. I wanted to take a moment to talk about my fellow New Yorker. Trump has dug a deep hole for himself, and I do not see an easy way out.

Thanks a million my journey isn’t over yet still have more to do

Before those were the much larger wars in Korea and Vietnam that cost many young American lives. Now we hear about another “small” conflict. Let’s see how long it lasts and what the cost will be. Old men start wars, but young men pay the price. Pride goes before the fall. 🕊️

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Hi everybody. I thought I would add my two cents to this discussion about Iran. All I can do is reflect on my 91 years on this earth. I remember presidents telling the American people about small incidents our country was getting involved in, like Iraq and Afghanistan. 🇺🇸

Being Black, I remember something my dad told me early on. He said if you want equal pay in an unfair world, choose sales. Study hard, work like the devil, and you can earn the same as anyone else. Sales pays what you earn.

080

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

I chose sales for similar reasons. It was a way to make money and create new horizons for myself and my family. Sales felt like a path where effort, learning, and persistence could actually change your situation.

140

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

I just read a beautiful story about a guy named Steve Pruitt. He shared that whenever he was searching for new goals or a new career path, he chose sales. Sales was how he grew, expanded, and kept moving forward.

Great news. Seventeen Republicans joined Democrats to approve the Affordable Care Act. Now we need the Senate to follow through. I think they will, especially with a little pressure from their constituents.

In all my years watching football, last night's Ravens vs. Steelers game was one of the absolute best. Truly a classic. 🏈 #NFL #Ravens #Steelers

Sad to see the Kansas City Chiefs get eliminated from the playoffs. Even though I live in Atlanta and reluctantly support the Falcons, I was still pulling for KC. I guess I’m left rooting for my favorite NCAA team, the UConn Huskies women’s basketball squad. 🏀

Most people sold it the company way. I did it my way, and at that time, I was the best. As the years passed, that approach became the only real way to help a young person figure out which direction they should go in life. I’m glad I remembered all of this today. (5/5)

060

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

Years later, when I started in sales, my associates were always amazed that I could walk into a white man’s home and sell him a home study course. It wasn’t easy. The job required a negative sales approach, and not everyone could do it. (4/5)

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

The young man kept saying he was sorry and that it wouldn’t happen again. I was shocked when the man walked away and I realized it was Milton Berle. That moment stuck with me forever. It taught me that everyone is equal, and you should treat everyone the same. (3/5)

I watched the way he talked to celebrities like they were just regular people. He never bowed to anyone because of who they were. One day, when he was managing a health club (I think this was around 1949 or 1950), I saw him chewing out a white man about something that had happened there. (2/5)

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 30/11/2025

When I was a young boy, I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with my uncle Lee. He probably influenced me more than anybody else in my life. He taught me how to be bold, how to be aggressive when it mattered, and not to be afraid of anyone. (1/5)

He then shared that his brother, who was also a doctor, had just passed away at 59. It hit me as a reminder that you never know when or where life is going to throw something unexpected at you. Stay healthy and take care of yourselves, everyone.

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 16/11/2025

Haven’t posted in a while, so here’s an update. I saw three doctors in three days last week, which was a bit harrowing, but I made it through in one piece. One of them asked if getting older is stressful. I told him honestly it’s not exactly what it’s cracked up to be.

Another eye lid surgery today. Might be a minute before I jump back on or reply. This will be the fourth eye lid surgery this year. Wish me luck.

The civil rights movement also started small and was scoffed at in the beginning, but it kept getting bigger and stronger. So will this. The president has to act fast, because if he doesn’t, this could mark the beginning of the end for his ugly self and everything he stands for.

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

That was great that young people were out in force on Saturday. This is just the beginning though. It got everyone’s attention. The maga people know they have to stop this now. They realize they cannot let this become a national movement that spreads and gains real power.

1102

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

I hope everyone gets out there this Saturday for the No Kings protest. Don’t let fear or doubt keep you home. I’ve seen a lot in 91 years, and change only happens when people stand up and are counted. The civil rights movement proved that. Your voice still matters—use it!

So I started shining shoes for men getting off the subway in NYC. Two months later, I had enough to buy extra gear and rent it to my friends for $10 a day. Looking back, I never thanked my dad for that tough love — the “no” that pushed me to grow up and build something on my own.

180

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

When I was 14, I got brave and asked my dad for a few dollars. He looked me dead in the eye and said, “I’ll loan it to you, but you’ll have to find a way to pay me back.” That one line stuck with me — it wasn’t just about money; it was about learning how to earn.

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

What really got me was one team had two men on with nobody out for three straight innings and still could not score. I have never seen that before. Seattle finally pushed one across in the 15th inning and I dragged myself to bed. What a game. #Mariners #Baseball

Roger @rogeraug.bsky.social · 13/10/2025

Friday night I sat up all night watching that Seattle Mariners and Detroit Tigers game that went on forever. I fell asleep, woke up, and it was still on. I could not believe how long it lasted. Baseball sure can test your patience sometimes.
