SHE’S BEING SLAMMED FOR BEING AN “ENCOURAGER”
Folks, there’s a lot going on the world and there’s certainly no shortage of suffering, madness, fear and anxiety. So, when something AWESOME happens you’d think ALL PEOPLE would jump on board the feel-good train and let out a sigh of relief that there’s evidence that some really decent kind people out in society do in fact exist. We forget because typically, the majority of us are sounded by insane coworkers, people that are hustling us, whacked neighbors, dysfunctional family members or just people in general as everyone seems to be angry over anything and are dying to pick a fight then record it for social media. It’s pitiful these days.
ENTER, Lynn Jones. A reporter for the Jacksonville Free Press. Journalist Lynn Jones showed up to the presser post Jags loss to the Bills Sunday, and rather than ask obvious questions about the “missed opportunities” or the teams “mental toughness” after the loss, she encouraged the head coach and told him and the squad to hold their heads high and that the community was proud of them, and this was just the beginning of great things. Isn’t that wonderful????!! Yes, I thought so too, as did many, many people ALL around the globe, but hardcore a$$holes = male sports journalists and that race baiter, Jemele Hill (until she found out Lynn was black) rebuked her for not asking a question and for encouraging the team instead. It’s unbelievable.
This is where we are at as a society. People got pissed off that this journalist of over 25 years used her time in that presser to tell the team how proud of them she was, to walk upright, and there’s no shame in the loss. It wasn’t the “time or place” for that some people say. WHY? She can choose how to use her time when called upon. Its mind blowing. Wouldn’t the world be less hideous if we tried to encourage one another more when we are hurting? Ya. It would be. FYI – I’ve got her on my PODCAST this week and I’ll ask her all about the backlash and why she said what she said. I hope you check it out! Thursday at 3pm on oceanstatecurrent.com or find “SPLITTIN THE ATOM” on RUMBLE!
GIVE IT A WHIRL!

SO, NOW YOU CARE ABOUT WHITE WOMEN?
So, now LIBERALS care about WHITE WOMEN? Not the white women that were sexually assaulted and killed by illegals… not the white woman that was stabbed on a train… not the white woman that was burned to death by an illegal in NYC, not the white woman jogger violently raped, kidnapped and stabbed to death in Tennessee, and you definitely didn’t care about the white woman that was shot and killed on Jan. 6th. Now all of a sudden you guys are crying, enraged and SUPER SAD after an ICE AGENT felt threatened and shot and killed a confrontational paid protester due to non-compliance? (Which was the REASON given to justify the shooting death of ASHLEY BABBIT). SANE AMERICA sees right through you. SANE AMERICA STILL EXISTS.
“Kali Fontanilla” – Digital Creator
IN CLOSING… (ONE LAST THOUGHT ABOUT THESE IDIOTS PROTESTING THINGS THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ALL OVER THE COUNTRY)
I genuinely believe that if ALIENS came down to earth and started harming humans there would be “ALIEN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS”. They’d say, “we’re on a stolen planet”. “Killing is part of their culture”. “They have feelings too”. “They bring DIVERSITY”. “The world doesn’t belong to us”. “Aliens have a right to defend themselves”. “It’s ALIEN PHOBIC to question them or their beliefs”. “We’re HOLDING SPACE for them in sanctuary cities”. SIGNS on people’s lawns would say “ALIEN LIVES MATTER”. “NO ONE IS AN ALIEN” and “AMERICA was built by ALIENS and Immigrants”. Finally, they would protest law enforcement taking into custody really ugly BAD EVIL Aliens (think “THE THING” with Kurt Russell….) and take to the streets identifying as ALIENS and lighting $hit on fire and burning down communities.
This is AMERICA, currently. YOU know I’m right. Now what ARE WE going to do about it?
That’s all I got this week gang. “IT IS WHAT IT IS”.
Till next time,
Jen

Jenn, Leslie should be a lawyer, she paints a picture so far from the truth people might believe her. That situation didn’t happen like that and there is no righteous killing over another. They both were tragic and preventable.
I’ve commented on RI News before & notified that it wouldn’t be printed. For the past 6 or 7 weeks I’ve read this column & wonder why my “opinions” weren’t printed. Mine were less volatile & off the wall than this.
As a ‘white’ woman, I do get outraged when anyone is attacked. I do’t care about the gender or color but it’s wrong.
Ashlee Babbit was killed. Sad but she was part of a crowd that was trying to overturn the government. Treason – “Treason is the willful act by citizens of a country levying war against any government or providing aid and comfort to their enemies. Treason is a federal crime that consists of acts against the United States government.”
Renee Good was a legal protest observer. She & her partner were leaving the site, complete with a coffee cup in hand. She bantered with ICE agents who were beside her car. It was light-hearted & in no way a threat nor did she voice a threat. She gets into her SUV & backs up a foot or so. She has to maneuver her way around a car/truck to leave, her wheels turned to leave. Her partner approaches the SUV and there’s a shot. The SUV was in drive as she waited for her partner to get in but that shot incapacitated or killed her. No one was controlling the steering wheel or the brake so the SUV rolled down the street. The agent had crossed the front of the SUV prior to any motion of the SUV, The only one who had drawn a gun was Ross as well as his cell phone. He recorded his “bravery” for posterity, to feel like a big man but it wasn’t his job. The job of ICE being sent to cities was to pick up the worst of the worst undocumented – the real criminal element. Not the 37 yr. old woman her dropped her kid off at school, or to pull a disabled young woman out of her car, on her way to the doctor, or the 80+ old lady out watering her garden.
Facts matter. One can’t hide anymore. Those cameras are everywhere & everyone has one. The videos were piecemeal but have since been put in order. There is no liberal/conservative, no partisanship involved. One person became her judge, jury, and executioner. That wasn’t his job.
Lesley – your posts have all been approved recently – sometimes they are too long and get cut off.
Yes. I do agree facts matter. As soon as we can all agree that men cannot get pregnant I’m happy to have an ” honest ” healthy conversation about the ” facts” in this and other cases / situations.
I’m glad we both like facts. Facts do matter.

Jen, this column is so right. Thank you for standing up and saying what most of us think.
