It is what it is: Dec. 10, 2025 – Commentary with Jen Brien

FROM A TEACHER IN PUBLIC EDUCATION

“I think that you guys don’t know what’s going on in public education right now. That’s fine. How could you know unless you’re working in it, but I think you need to know. So here is exactly what it’s like right now working in public education.

First of all, the kids have no ability to be bored, whatsoever. They live on their phones, and they’re just fed a constant stream of dopamine from the minute their eyes wake up in the morning until they go to sleep at night. They’re in a constant state of dopamine withdrawal at school. They behave like addicts. They’re super emotional. The smallest things set them off and when you are standing in front of them trying to teach, they’re vacant. They have no ability to tune in if your communication isn’t packaged in short little clips or if it doesn’t have bright flashing lights.

It’s actually the much harder part for me than just the outright behaviors. It’s just being up at the front talking to a group of kids who have their eyes open – they’re looking at me but, they’re not there, they’re not there.

They have a level of apathy that I’ve never seen in my whole career. Punishments don’t work because they don’t care about them. They don’t care about grades. They don’t care about college. It’s like you are interacting with them briefly in-between hits of the internet which is their real life. I’ve seen some Tik Toks recently where teachers are getting a lot of hate for not adapting to the kids or punishing them or whatever and I just have to say, I can tell you with absolute certainty it is not the teachers’ fault. It might be the parents’ fault. It might be society’s fault, but it is not the teacher’s fault.”

YOUR PURPOSE

“Your purpose is not what you do, it’s what happens to people when you do what you do. Don’t betray yourself.” – Viola Davis

THINGS THAT BLOW MY MIND

THE SAME PEOPLE who questioned everyone AND everything regarding the JFK ASSASSINATION are not saying one peep around the Charlie Kirk narrative / assassination.

—

TO SEE total hatred and disrespect people have toward GOD, but wrap their arms around MUHAMMAD, who (according to the Quran, theological scholars and the Sahih al-Bukhari) married a 6-year-old girl named Aisha.

—

TO HEAR people who haven’t experienced alcoholism or been an addict tell everyone giving addicts and alcoholics safe places to use, a campground and needles are noble when former addicts and alcoholics straight up say the hardcore afflicted who resist all help must LOSE EVERYTHING, or be threatened with losing everything and everyone if they are to finally seek the help they need and have a chance. Enabling is enabling.

—

I saw way more HALLOWEEN DECORATIONS than I see Christmas decorations this year.

—

Being nice and gracious to people seems weird to the world now. People think that’s shady.

—

When I see women who refuse to embrace aging and pull it tight, blow it up and cut it off

rather than try doing things gracefully…. (I’m talking hardcore… not a slight nip and tuck… relax ladies)

—

People telling me I’m a racist Nazi transphobic bitch for not thinking the way they do and co- signing their crazy when they tell me that performing a double mastectomy on a physically healthy confused 13-year-old who has been indoctrinated online is reasonable.

—

That lunatic woke mental cases in NYC, the financial heartbeat of this nation, elected a crazy 34-year-old Muslim communist who plans on destroying western culture there.

—

That Americans are being asked to pay for the destruction of the WEST via MASS MIGRATION when “WE THE PEOPLE” didn’t ONCE tell the people we elected, WE wanted this madness…

NO ONE ASKED AMERICANS.

—

If you tell a crazed Democrat filled with mania that Barrack Obama deported over 3 million illegals they scream in your face and shape shift into some woke demon.

—

That HILLARY CLINTON is asserting if  “they” lose control over the Internet / social media, “they” lose control.

I DONT BELIEVE IN GOD — I TRUST SCIENCE!

1.) “There are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history. I study the Bible everyday”

ISAAC NEWTON

2.) “The more I study science, the more I believe in GOD”

ALBERT EINSTEIN

3.) “The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power”

NIKOLA TESLA

4.) “Mathematics is the language in which GOD has written the Universe”

GALILEO GALILEI

THIS MAKES ME THINK

A black reporter asked a white woman in the U.K “should the U.K. be predominantly white?” The white woman says, “NO. WHY would it be predominately white?” To which a young Black man then responded and said “BECAUSE ITS THE U.K.  It’s Europe. Africa is predominantly black, and they probably want to keep it that way. South America is predominantly Hispanic or Latino and they probably want to keep it that way. Asia is predominantly Asian, and they probably want to keep it that way. It’s only WHITE PEOPLE IN THE WEST that have been taught to be scared if they say they want their culture and ancestry preserved like everyone else does. ”
