DECEPTION

You know what I find interesting these days, that non-believers or people who haven’t even read the BIBLE are on social media using BIBLE references as clickbait. It’s so damn cringe worthy and mind blowing. When I see some over-the-top OBNOXIOUS rant about how we should open the door to over 15 million illegals who pour into our communities that are unvetted, carrying diseases or bringing sinister bands of crime into this nation because they say, “the Bible says to”, I shake my head. These kinds of people delight in fake “gotcha” moments and straight up deception. Some of the worst deception comes from those manipulative “HE GETS US” TV spots.

I hate to tell you this, gang, but what the Bible says for sure about people who twist, manipulate and distort the word of God for any sort of gain other than eternal salvation ain’t positive. But hey… don’t listen to me… it’s all laid out. Read it yourself. I am super sensitive to this sort of game because I have a relationship with God. I love him and I know him. Don’t worry, I’m not going to rattle on and on about faith here, but it’s worth noting that folks are weaponizing Christian doctrine in that way, and it’s not only wrong, it’s dangerous. Telling me to wrap my arms around the Sinola cartel or Tren De Aragua is breathtaking. I have said this on NUMEROUS occasions, and I’ll say it again, AMERICANS in MASSIVE NUMBERS embrace immigration. BUT THEY DO NOT SUPPORT an INVASION that can’t be sustained financially, burdens hard working tax paying people, and increases the risk of crime in communities all over the country.

It really pisses me off knowing our own citizens in NC are still struggling after a natural disaster, while illegals have more than most disabled VETERANS, America’s homeless and lower-class working families. I’m not a monster like the zombies on the left like to call it, I’M AWAKE.

When people talk about SATAN, they think he’s out there causing murders, wars and large-scale suffering… and he is. Make no mistake… but how does he creep into our personal lives? He PROWLS around like a lion daily “looking for someone to devour”. PROWL = move around restlessly and stealthily especially in search of prey. THAT should scare the hell out of you. Deception IS a fav in his arsenal. What you bring into your home, what you watch, what you read, what music you listen too… what you eat… drink… smoke… the things YOU THINK ABOUT… deception is in everything and everywhere. Need examples? Ok…

Some years ago, we were told OBESE is fit… DECEPTION. WE were also told there are MORE than two genders. DECEPTION. Men in women’s sports = DECEPTION. The COVID vax scam (my opinion) and all the “suddenly” deaths no one wants to cover IN DETAIL = DECEPTION. TURBO cancers… DECEPTION. CHEM TRAILS, PESTICIDES and FOOD DYES = DECEPTION. BLACK ROCK = DECEPTION… POLITICS… CULTURE and the NIGHTLY NEWS… DECEPTION. I’m sure a lot of you think I’m nuts… paranoid or both… but nah, I’m SOBER MINDED.

THE Bible definitely discusses this term, and it means I am clear and close to God and have my Spidey powers of DISCERNMENT ON MAX OVERLOAD. We all know we live in a fake world, but how deep is that ditch? Truth seekers are labeled as demons, right is wrong – wrong is right… greed is good, self-idolatry is common and celebrated… gender is a “social construct” the POPE HAS WALLS AROUND THE VATICAN… but no one else should have walls keeping them safe from whatever. Weird, right?

I could go on and on. Look around. Come to your own conclusions. Once you put on the special glasses and “SEE” things as they REALLY ARE…you can never take them off… but hey… what do I KNOW…

PODCAST COMING

Just a heads-up gang, I finally have the podcast in the works and I’m super excited to be able to say… it’s happening! Last year was rough and definitely not the time for this project, but a door has opened and I’m walking through. There are a bazillion podcasts out there and I don’t expect people to carve out time to listen, but I hope you do! It will be a fun, entertaining mashup of politics, conspiracy theories, guests, thoughts that swirl around my brain and a whole host of wacky stuff!  Like I say about this column… give it a whirl! Maybe you think or laugh OR BOTH! I’ll keep you posted! (Leave your thoughts below this column about anything or find me on Facebook!  Type in Jennifer Brien, and my profile pic is WILMA AND FRED smoking Winston cigarettes!) (P.S I love hearing from you!!!!)

WOULDN’T IT BE GREAT IF:

PEOPLE WERE CHILL LIKE WE USED TO BE IN THE 70’S

PEOPLE RESPECTED LAW ENFORCEMENT AGAIN

COPS WOULD PULL OVER PEOPLE ON THE HIGHWAY FOR DOING 90 AND WEAVING IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT BEING CALLED RACIST

YOUNG PEOPLE DIDN’T ACT LIKE SUCH ENTITLED SNOTTY KNOW IT ALLS OR ANTI SEMITES

PEOPLE REALLY LISTENED TO ONE ANOTHER

NEWS AGENCIES WERE RESPECTABLE AND HONEST

POLITICIANS WENT BACK TO A STANDARD DRESS CODE AND STOPPED USING PROFANITY

WE ALL BELIEVED SPORTS WASN’T RIGGED

TRANS ACTIVISTS STOPPED SCREAMING ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO DO STRIP SHOWS FOR OR READ TO TODDLERS

WE FELT SAFE IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND TRUSTED PEOPLE WHEN THEY RANG OUR DOORBELLS

WE REACHED OUT HANDS TO HELP INSTEAD OF RECORDING SOMEONE SUFFERING ON OUR IPHONES

WE DIDN’T FEEL THE NEED TO SPLASH OUR LIVES ALL OVER SOCIAL MEDIA

COMPANIES CARED ABOUT THE AVERAGE CONSUMER DURING “TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES” LIKE “SCHOONER TUNA” DID IN THE FILM “MR. MOM” (THE TUNA WITH A HEART!)

MOVIE STARS, SINGERS AND HOLLYWOOD REALIZED THEY’RE PAID A LOT OF MONEY TO PERFORM AND PRETEND… AND THAT THEY’RE NOT SMARTER THAN THE REST OF US

That’s all I have this week gang…

“IT IS WHAT IT IS”…

Till next week,

Jen
