Splittin’ the Atom with Jen Brien — Commentary, July 16, 2026

by Jennifer Brien, contributing writer, commentary

LESS IS MORE

THIS WEEK, I’m going to keep things simple and quick for you all. I recognize my opinion may not be popular with some, but still popular with others and I certainly receive all kinds of responses to the things I say… online and in my personal EMAIL (feel free to participate there)

One of the most amusing responses I get… one of my FAVS… is that people love reading my column on the toilet. Hell, at least you’re reading! RIF! If you happen to make it to 79, you’ll be interested to know the average person (sans a condition like IBS) spends 240 days of their life on the can which comes out to about 5,767 hours in total. Interesting… and so, seeing how the average person spends 12 minutes a day total on the porcelain throne… let’s see if you can get through this masterpiece by the time the pipes are CLEAN! Tell the “TIDY BOWL MAN” I said hello and LFG!

YOU’RE GOING TO WIN

“There’s a person out there right now with no one to lean on, and no one checking in on them; yet you wake up every day and keep pushing forward and keep grinding. Wherever you are… you’re going to WIN”

—————————————-

THE WORLD

“Getting older ISN’T the problem. Watching the world get more and more stupid, is”

—————————————-

JUDAS

“Just because they’ve shown up doesn’t mean they’ve got your back. Judas attended EVERY prayer meeting”

—————————————–

ALONE

“Of course I’m different from them. They walk with anyone just to avoid being ALONE. I walk ALONE so I don’t have to walk with just anyone”

—————————————-

SOME PEOPLE

“Some people are mean and bitter because they had a rough childhood. Some people are kind and caring for THE SAME REASON. IT’S A CHOICE.”

—————————————–

ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER

God is about to shake religion. ARE YOU for him or are you for this world?

There are only two choices.

WHO ARE YOU?

————————————–

Step out of the swarm gang because consensus is just comfortable cowardice.

Till next time!
