It is what it is! – Jen Brien
by Jennifer Brien, contributing writer, commentary
YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE?
That Caitlin CLARK is humiliating all her jealous, hateful detractors by playing her ass off SHOWING THEM HOW AMAZING SHE really is and making the WNBA somewhat interesting.
ISN’T IT FUNNY?
How the POPE says it’s a “GRAVE SIN” to have restrictive border policies yet there’s not one MIGRANT FAMILY living in any room at the VATICAN.
KINDA STRANGE THAT:
The MEDIA IN THE U.S is having a hard time telling people a JEWISH AMERICAN MAN was brutally murdered by HAMAS terrorists instead choosing to say “HE DIED”.
DO THEY THINK WE DON’T NOTICE:
THAT “TIM WALZ’S AG, KEITH ELLISON, CELEBRATED THAT BRAZIL TYRANT JUDGE BANNING TWITTER”?
THAT the same folks who can’t IDENTIFY what a WOMAN IS WHEN ASKED are now CELEBRATING THAT A “WOMAN” IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
THAT the “KAMALA HARRIS VIBE” is as fake as KIM KARDASHIAN’S ENTIRE BODY
——————————————–
HARRIS WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT DESPITE:
Not being able to coherently answer questions on the fly… OR ANY question that’s not prepared in advance
NOT being willing to sit down with journalists who don’t coddle her
NOT being willing to explain her 360-degree policy shifts
NOT BEING INTERESTED IN ANSWERING A DAMN THING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT TO ASK HER
and…
HARRIS THINKS AMERICANS ARE STUPID AND WILL:
Buy into the “CHANGE” campaign slogan she stole from OBAMA despite her being in charge for the last 4 years
Suspend our disbelief about her role in WIDE OPEN BORDERS her MARXIST IDEOLOGY and PATHOLOGICAL ANTI-SEMITISM in her own party
EMBRACE her running on the “promise to “FIX THINGS ON DAY ONE” when she and BIDEN helped create the mess we are currently in
EMBRACE her belief of “EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION” not realizing she’s asking us to give up OURS while she’ll get to KEEP hers
BELIEVE she’s got her EAR BUDS IN because she’s taking a call instead of obviously avoiding the PRESS
————————————
FLU SEASON
Here we are, gang! COLD and FLU season is back and COVID is still running amok as we saw numbers spike after the DNC for those who attended. That mess is still floating around out there as is that madman and pathological liar Dr. FAUCI and the VAX SHAMERS. (I’m still disgusted by you people BTW… for the record). This is not going to be a piece asking the obvious “ARE YOU GETTING ANY SHOTS?” because really, it’s none of my business how you choose to live your life and really, I could care less. (NOT to seem callous but I have my own fish to fry).
Rather, I’m going to ponder for a moment an OBVIOUS question now that the dust has settled, and time has passed… because it ALWAYS REALLY bothered me and still does to this day. If you scour the news these days instead of sitting in front of the boob tube watching one news station daily, you’ll see stories scattered here and there about people who were fired during the pandemic for not receiving the VACCINE and are now trying to get their jobs back. Some win with back pay, others don’t get squat. I suspect it’s all about who hears your case AND WHAT POLITICAL inclination the judge may have. (THAT shouldn’t matter, but as we know, it typically MATTERS)
I bring this up because how many of you remember the stories about illegals from ALL OVER THE WORLD getting to our border and were NOT FORCED to receive vaccinations during the pandemic and lockdowns. They could refuse it when TAX PAYING LEGAL AMERICANS COULD NOT. NOW THINK ABOUT THIS… there are stories in the news about AMERICAN lives and families who have been destroyed because they did not want to be a Guinea Pig in a massive experiment (my opinion) and said “NO”- “I don’t want your barely tested vaccine” and lost it all. YET, strangers coming across our southern border who were released into, flown and bused to communities all over the country could say “NAH- I’m good- no thanks”. Tell me how much sense THAT makes DURING A SO-CALLED GLOBAL PANDEMIC?
It still pisses me off to this day because it reveals the obvious for those who care to see the truth. It was all some kind of massive scheme. The people who were making decisions about our lives were NEVER serious about protecting us. That border should have been SEALED SHUT and if they were letting people in, INSIST they get swabbed and vaccinated. Neither happened. You try and explain this one with a straight face – if you’ve got the balls.

LET’S BE HONEST:
IF “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW” was a real statement, BLM would have been investigated and a forensic audit would have happened… at the VERY LEAST
WALLS / GATES / SECURITY SYSTEMS WORK. Which is why GATES, WINFREY, ZUCKERBERG, BHO, CLINTONS etc… have them around and, in their homes
THE WASHINGTON BRIDGE is a total mismanaged mess, and no one should be on that structure. The latest “Weight Monitoring System” is a CYA move
CALIFORNIA NEVER intended to dole out billions in “REPARATIONS”. They scammed the black community to shut them up
WHITE PEOPLE are not the problem in AMERICA – THE problem is political extremism, partisan media, attacks on FAITH / GOD, OUR CORRUPT GOVT and BLACK ROCK
THE TRILLION DOLLAR CANCER INDUSTRY is not interested in finding cures that will put them “OUT OF BUSINESS”. “A PATIENT CURED IS A CUSTOMER LOST”
NO ONE will be shocked when we find out the 90-year-old WW2 vet who was shot and killed during a carjacking in TEXAS was killed by a ________________ (you fill in the BLANK… I know MY ANSWER)
BRAD PITT is no longer HOT. AT ALL. SMOKING AND BOTOX have not served him well
IF PEOPLE REALLY CARED about the ENVIRONMENT / CLIMATE CHANGE ALL PLASTIC would be banned as it’s annihilating our oceans and aquatic life
“THE REAL SHORTAGE IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW is not toilet paper, baby food, or gasoline- it’s COURAGE, LEADERSHIP AND COMMON SENSE”

ANOTHER BIRTHDAY!
Hard to believe I am here again. I don’t know about you folks, but this past year has flown by. It feels like I just celebrated my 55th and yet here we are – 56 on Friday! It’s just wild. I mention this for a few reasons because I came across last year’s birthday cake celebration video and I remember vividly how I felt. I blew out the candles on that amazing cake and thought “The possibilities are ENDLESS THIS YEAR! LET’S SEE WHAT HAPPENS! DON’T STOP BELIEVING!”
BUT, as it turns out, last year was horrible. Ron passed unexpectedly, it was full of sorrow and nothing exciting happened. No real fun. No breakthrough. No heart overflowing moments. Just a lot of growing, dealing, coping and rebounding from test after test…. but you know what? I realized that maybe none of those great things have happened to me yet, but other great things are happening to me as I wait on God.
He’s deepening my faith, teaching me what really matters, showing me not all the mundane things I do and tend to look past daily are worthless and there are tiny miracles tucked away in them. God has shown me how strong I am, how much he loves me, and that even when the world doesn’t see me, he does, and I matter to him. I learned that many people only come into your life for a season, that it’s not things that truly matter, but rather, it’s our heart’s condition that does, and that if things don’t work out as I have planned, God’s “not yet” doesn’t mean “no” or “never”.
These are hard lessons to learn and often painful… but in the end, I trust God to help me and direct my steps and make me a better me for the world. 55 was far more important in a million ways then I can conceive right now, but I know for sure I’ll leap into 56 with the same childlike heart believing good things are on the way.
One wonderful thing that happened last year, was that after Ron passed Nancy let me stay on with RINEWSTODAY.COM and write for you each week. I am so grateful. Thank you for reading this when you do – and here’s to 56! BELIEVE! I sure do!
That’s all I got this week gang – IT IS WHAT IT IS!

Till next time,

When someone turns 360 degrees, they are back where they started. I think you meant 180
Love you Jen…. 56 is a good number… I remember it okay but it’s fuzzy.
As for plastic… can’t get rid of it… it’s vital for a million reasons.. the big chem boys are trying to create a biodegradable version… and all that plastic in the ocean isn’t coming from here…
Best wishes as you begin your 57th year!
Happy Birthday on Friday. 56 is fine – I hit 70 later this month. I like what you wrote about God’s working in your life in the past year. You are a little bit DEEPER in God and a little bit CLOSER to God. And you’ll growing in Him over the next year.
One thing about Kamala, though: She DIDN’T do a 360 … she did a 180. If she did a 360 it would mean she didn’t change any positions at all… a 180 means her positions are exactly opposite of what they used to be.
Good stuff!
Happy Birthday! 🎂 Always a great column. Enjoy reading it every week.
Well – happy birthday. I hope 56 brings you all good things!
There is this guy with whom I have been friends for about 50 years. I haven’t seen him in over 40 years. We are as opposite as can be in pretty much every question EXCEPT animals. We refer to each other as being ‘evil twins’. When I read the story about the lions eating a group of rhino poachers posted with a red faced lion he is the only person I sent it to with a title excellent and he wrote back bon appetite. Hope you have an evil twin in your life. I loved your column today. I could throw in a comment on pretty much each topic. I don’t know whether it is a compliment to you or me that we appear to agree on many issues. I have said for years that a cure for cancer will never be found because it will put too many folks out of work. Have a great week and great birthday. Looking forward to next week’s column. I won’t write anymore as I don’t want to waste your time. Take care
Hi bob. No….i meant exactly what i wrote. Her positions have not REALLY CHANGED. shes trying to pretend they have. Its fake. Thamks for reading and commenting!
