It is what it is – April 2, 2025 – Jen Brien

SUSAN COLLINS FINALLY TAKES A STAND
What else can be said here when we see the headline “GOP SENATOR MAKES STANCE ON TRANS ATHLETES CLEAR” other than Sen. SUSAN COLLINS FINALLY supports protecting women’s sports in MAINE – but in truth, WE ALL UNDERSTAND it’s about HER political preservation – NOT WOMEN. A recent poll in MAINE revealed her constituency does not want MEN in women sports. WHY? SIMPLE – It’s unfair and a direct assault on TITLE IX. So, let’s be clear, SHE’S NO HERO. She’s not being a champion for women athletes… SHE REALLY DOESN’T CARE ABOUT GIRLS AND WOMEN and was missing during the past four years while this controversy was raging during the “AUTO PEN” administration. Now, with the focus on her state fighting with TRUMP recently and a new poll – here she is storming the beaches of Normandy for women. It makes me sick because it’s so glaringly obvious it’s all about HER… but a win is a win I suppose. HOWEVER, any woman who is trying to get out in front of this issue NOW because they feel SAFER doing so… is a FRAUD. Day late and a dollar short lady… and pathetic if you ask me.

ASTROTURFING IS ALL THE DEMS HAVE
So, WHAT is astro turfing for those that don’t know? HERE YA GO:
“Astroturfing is the deceptive practice of hiding the sponsors of an orchestrated message or organization (e.g., political, economic, advertising, religious, or public relations) to make it appear as though it originates from, and is supported by, unsolicited grassroots participants = YOU AND ME… regular folks. It is a practice intended to give the statements or organizations credibility by withholding information about the source’s financial backers.
The implication behind the use of the term is that instead of a “true” or “natural” grassroots effort behind the activity in question, there is a “fake” or “artificial” appearance of support. It is increasingly recognized as a problem in social media, e-commerce, and politics. Astroturfing can influence public opinion by flooding platforms like political blogs, news sites, and review websites with manipulated content. Some groups accused of astroturfing argue that they are legitimately helping citizen activists to make their voices heard”.
THE DOGE PUSHBACK IS ASTROTURFING

VIDEOS OF PEOPLE CRYING AND CARRYING ON ABOUT TRUMP…. ON FB / INSTAGRAM / X… ALL ASTROTURFING
TOWN HALLS ARE ASTROTURFING

ITS ALL ABOUT “MOUNJARO”- NOT THE “BASS”
Here we go again. Another celebrity coming clean about their “transformation” after they claim they were “pressured to admit” using something to shed a massive amount of weight. Meghan Trainor is the latest face and body in the news that looks dramatically different than she did 10 months ago… and I KNOW… many of you don’t care… but here’s why I DO. READ ON – and let’s see if you agree. Truth be told, I can’t stand her music as it ALL SOUNDS THE SAME to me and its definitely not my cup of tea.
HOWEVER, when I first met her on Cape Cod at a radio station I was working at many, many years ago she was 16ish. She sang in studio with just her guitar, and I remember thinking DAMN! She’s gonna be a star! She was amazing. Sure enough, years later she’s singing “All about the Bass”…. (her butt) on JIMMY KIMMEL. OK – so here’s where I get pissy with these types of folks. HOW MANY TIMES had she been out front for the bigger girls saying they need “representation”, that her “men and mother” like her just the way she is and that NO ONE should “body shame her for her size”! Fair enough Meghan, solid point.
Here’s the thing – when YOU, like LIZZO (another POSTER CHILD for the BIG GIRLS ARE sexy campaign) start to lose a $hi% ton of weight after OZEMPIC began roaring through the Hollywood hills like those recent fires… I think it’s fair to ask, “what’s going on?” Are you shooting your gut up with a diabetic drug or are you eating clean and headed to the gym? NO ONE would care if you hadn’t put yourself out there as a bigger version of you saying, “DEAL WITH ALL THIS”. You’re not a victim so don’t vilify the fans. The fans have every right to ask why you look like you’ve become Sharon Osborne’s twin. I get that we all change and evolve… and we should. That’s the way life is, but save the disdain, frustration and TONE, you have about the questions flying at you regarding your “BASS”… cause really… you’ve created the problem you now have. After asking us to LOOK AT YOU all these years… you can’t all of a sudden ask us not too. Like Sister AUDREY used to say to me when I got in trouble at CATHOLIC SCHOOL… “it’s your problem – you own it”. TRUTH Meghan… Just sayin’.

WHY I ROUTINELY BASH THE PARTY I ONCE BELONGED TO MY WHOLE LIFE. THIS IS THE WAY I SEE IT.
Why do I routinely bash the party I belonged to my whole life? Because so many Democrats LIE, and SAY they don’t. They blame shift EVERYTHING and play the race card to death. THEY TERRIFY THE ELDERLY with innuendo and exaggerations. They had a WIDE-OPEN BORDER POLICY which brought insane amounts of crime, violence, drugs and disease into this great nation and burdened unprepared communities in ways that are utterly reprehensible. AND THEN THERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS who are now VIOLENT RADICALS who believe in extreme doctrines and mock GOD. They’ve turned their backs on the Jewish community and JEWISH students, and they FIGHT for CRIMINALS, BIG PHARMA, and PEDOPHILES…
That’s WHY.
That’s all I got this week gang. “IT IS WHAT IT IS”.
Till next time,
JEN

Ok, confession, I’ve never heard of astroturfing. Thanks for the info!
Janine Crockett is a piece of work. Where do these people come from?!
SOROS! HE RECRUITED HER. She is not street. She plays that part. Look into her background
Terrific writing once again in telling it like it really is.
If SOROS is behind it all, why hasn’t he and his son been arrested for unAmerican activities, funding, aiding, and abetting all these crimes against Our President and Musk?
Sadly I think it’s the same reason the Clinton’s are still in the general pop. They greased everyone.
Another awesome commentary! Looking forward to the podcast!
Appreciate your commontary
Great commentary Jen…
I bet there are a ton of American folks who would not have been able to find Greenland on a map. We used to be taught geography in grammar school so us old folk know. Our problem is they keep changing the names.
My question to you is: do you wonder if the person who is in charge of the weather is really really angry about what us stupid folks are doing in the planet? I am seeing/hearing about quakes, floods, eruptions, tornadoes etc etc etc. Is it time to start gathering two of everything and make a run for it??
