It is what it is – Jen Brien

BIDEN BOUNCED

You guys hear about the absolutely worst thing ever at the kickoff of the 2024 DNC CONVENTION? And no folks, we are not talking about that new “weird”  AOC accent… though that girl has some serious issues and a clear personality disorder. INSTEAD, I’m talking about the establishment burying BIDEN so deep in the damn convention his speech was bounced from PRIME TIME TV. Of course, OBAMA, PELOSI, SCHUMER and “party organizers” are now trying to say, “logistical issues” and/or (get this) “RAUCOUS APPLAUSE” for the speakers before him are what caused him to have to speak well past the time audiences are tuned in.

The guy is old and decrepit. So much so they forced him out because he cannot string together sentences without a teleprompter and heavy meds, so the prudent thing to do is make the old guy speak well past his bedtime, which is typically 8pm?  Asking me to believe that is suggesting I have the mental capacity of Forest Gump. EVEN the LIBERAL LOONIES over at CNN laughed at this assertion. One panelist at the convention even said, “That’s amazing spin”. Not only did they shove pops aside like 2-week-old leftovers, but they also publicly humiliated him in the end with this stunt. Fact is, they had to put him up there, just to make it look good and they sure as hell didn’t want him in FIRST CLASS with a bib on. They tossed OLD JOE back into economy with the rest of the Neanderthals just in case he made an uncouth mess… I just don’t get why THEY think we, out here, don’t grasp that. BIDEN is a hot mess, and you absolutely have to wonder who the hell is REALLY running this country AT THIS POINT because it sure as $h!t ain’t him.

“STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES”

Do people want to be stupid? I ask myself this daily because the number of morons I come into contact with is increasing on a daily basis. It appears the world is full of mouth hanging open, breathing people who don’t understand traffic patterns, how to make change using CASH, and what blinkers are for.

Don’t even get me started about the DAD picking his nose, full on digging, in a restaurant I was eating at last week as though no one can see him, or the mentally unstable barista I encountered when I brought my coffee back because it was black, and I wanted some cream, and 2 skinny n sweets tossed in there (9 to 5 reference)… evidently saying my order was wrong sent this individual into a dark abyss and mom had to “go pick THEM up”.

MY GOD. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HELL is happening? Fact is, people, I’m super patient and really ok with issues and hiccups happening as the day progresses, but I’m starting to look for that sock I fill with manure used for “EMERGENCY PURPOSES ONLY” that’s stored in my basement. Last time I ALMOST used it to smack someone was during the pandemic when people would yell at me for not following the arrows on the floor at the supermarket. That was so insane… But it’s deeper than that. It’s extraordinary how many people CHOOSE to be stupid as a full-time occupation these days and we are surrounded by them. SURE, SURE, I HAVE my STUPID moments… but not an indolent stupid mindset.

Just the other day I posted something on my FACEBOOK page about HOBBY LOBBY and I wrote HOLLY Lobby, now, THAT’S STUPID! But! I bounce back and pick up my copy of “THE CANTERBURY TALES” for easy restroom reading and watch a good ole documentary about DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN (a plagiarist but who cares….”TEAM OF RIVALS” WAS THE BOMB) and I’m right as rain.

People these days embrace their laziness and gleefully admit a lack of education on things that reasonable adult humans should pay attention to. (The economy, politics, and signs of any global upheaval) It’s their right to live in a “fabricated reality”, I get that, but when these same folks email ME or find me on FB and lecture me about the real problem in the world… IE: DONALD TRUMP and the “vast right-wing conspiracy”, I get pissed. That’s just so stupid.

People who smoke weed while watching “THE VIEW” and making TIK TOK videos about how “WHOOPI GOLDBERG should run for PRESIDENT, while dancing with their blow-up doll” are automatically disqualified from giving any opinion to anyone in general about anything… as far as I’m concerned. However, here’s the problem with this… these people sit on juries, work in GOVT, teach our children, and monitor elections. If they refuse to do the work necessary to be informed and rely on propaganda to tell them how to think, this is what you end up with. Stupid used to mean dopey or a ding dong, being STUPID in 2024 means someone’s PSYOPS is working, and a people” who can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want”.  (Quote from Hannah Arendt- German historian) That seems pretty accurate to me… but hey, what do I know.

WHEN “THE ENQUIRER” WAS THE ONLY FAKE NEWS AROUND

Does anybody else find it absolutely breathtaking that the major news outlets (THE BIG THREE: ABC, CBS, NBC) all peddle misinformation or just straight up lies daily and accuse other news agencies of doing EXACTLY what THEY ARE DOING? Funny how they call TRUMP Hitler, but they themselves have adopted NAZI ideology many believe (but cannot be confirmed) came from Joseph Goebbels who was a NAZI and was Hitler’s “Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda”.  LOOK UP “THE BIG LIE” or read “Mein Kampf” for more info, but in a nutshell, he said “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such a time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its POWERS to REPRESS DISSENT, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the TRUTH is the greatest ENEMY OF THE STATE”. READ that again. TRUTH is the ENEMY OF THE STATE.

Additionally… the OSS psychological profile of HITLER described his use of the “BIG LIE” this way: “never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it”. Sound familiar? Are some of you waking up? P.S (In the Interest of full disclosure, I used to LOVE reading THE ENQUIRER. That’s when FAKE NEWS WAS FUN)

HOBBY LOBBY 

I figured out the other day why Americans are subjected to Christmas TREES in AUG, HALLOWEEN CANDY in JULY, VALENTINES DAY candy in DECEMBER, EASTER CANDY in FEBRUARY etc., etc… READY?  GREED. PROFITS. And MORE GREED. There you go.

Here’s the thing though, these companies know we eat that crap up. We seem to be getting worse at enjoying the moment in front of us every day and are always seeking another distraction from reality. WHY? BECAUSE we have been trained that way. It keeps us all occupied and inattentive from the mess of this planet in a million ways. Not trying to be a downer people, but it really is a question of being AWAKE and seeing the HUSTLE their laying on us from every angle in every season.

On a lighter note… I am partially programmed. I loved seeing all the trees up in HOBBY LOBBY… I can’t lie. I can’t wait to bust out “CHRISTMAS STORY” and disappear for 2 months into RALPHIE’S simple life. It is peaceful there… but while we sleep… the monster prowls. Remember that. Not being dramatic, just keeping it real.

That’s all I got this week gang… IT IS WHAT IT IS.
