It is what it is – Jen Brien

IF WOMEN GET “TO CHOOSE”, WHY DON’T WE HAVE A CHOICE?

You ever wonder why a lot of people scream and rant about “my body, my choice” around election cycles, but ignore the rest of women’s issues out there? I sure do. I mean, how can the same party who claims to be on the front lines of women’s rights in this country, via the abortion issue, then turn around and force women to keep their mouths shut regarding having to play with, compete against, and share locker room space with trans women (men who “identify” as women.) Those same folks deny women a voice or a CHOICE regarding this contentious issue. Doesn’t this reveal to you who these people REALLY are?  Seems like women only get “to choose” when THEY tell us when we can and on what issue.

P.S. Angel Reese didn’t get the memo yet. Let’s see if she holds true to her beliefs or sells out…

RANDOM THOUGHT

So, I was pulling weeds yesterday and I got to thinking about that “illegal”, LEONEL MORENO, who became a “migrant influencer” on social media who mocked AMERICA and told his pals how to “squat successfully” in someone’s home, anywhere in the good ole U.S.A…. he got busted by ICE by the way, and hauled off to the hoosegow where he sits at the moment for a variety of infractions… but let me get this straight. The FEDS found a needle in a haystack guy in this country, but they still “don’t know ” who’s cocaine it was at the White House with 2 billion security cameras and security staff around every corner. IDK, that kinda reeks of a rotten fish thrown into the backseat of someone’s car… during the summer… with the windows up. Just sayin’.

WHERE”S THE BARGE!!!!

Remember CLARA PELLER? The old lady from the 80’s who went from mall to mall screaming “WHERE”S THE BEEF” for a check after she became famous for TV advertising? Yeah, she got WENDY’s some serious traction in the burger race, and I wish she was around now. I’d have her scream “WHERE’S THE BARGE”?  We have heard just about zip, almost nada updates about that whole mess in Baltimore. I wonder why that is. I love how people are called “CONSPIRACY THEORISTS” for simply pointing out the obvious. Like, how stories just disappear in the vast sea of journalism . ELIZA FLETCHER… the WAUKESHA CHRISTMAS PARADE ATTACK, or the death of SHANQUELLA ROBINSON. Those are just 3 examples… I could add in the crap show at “Tybee Island” but I won’t. The vast majority won’t know what that mess was because the press mysteriously let the story die in 30 seconds. It’s a wing dinger for sure. GOOGLE that, but don’t use GOOGLE AI. We saw how that thing sees the world. George Washington was a lot different than in text books… that’s all I’ll say about that.

TAYLOR SWIFT IS HUMAN

OK. Let me start by saying I DO NOT KNOW one of this woman’s songs, and she’s not my cup of tea. I could care less how many times they show her at any NFL game, and I really DON’T care who she’s sleeping with. WITH THAT SAID, I’m writing about her this week because I read an article about some disgruntled moms who were ticked off because SWIFT wrote songs about much darker stuff. They opined online that they didn’t know if they should let their 10-year-olds listen to her songs with “adult themes”. A.) let’s talk about the NAME of her album – “THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT”… what the hell do you think is gonna be on there? Songs about butterflies and kittens? and B.) She’s an artist who is human, and writes about a crap ton of her human experiences. GOOD, BAD, and DARK. SO WHAT? I swear to God, people are never happy. Hint, maybe the album title was a clue. But hey, what do I know?

BREAKING NEWS

Jon Bon Jovi admits he “hasn’t been a saint” during his marriage. OH for the love of God. NO $#!T. YOU HAVEN’T been FAITHFUL. That’s about as huge as Rosie announcing she was gay. Ya, we had NO IDEA (eyeroll) just wanted to toss that one in.

I-195

Hey, did the GOV find out who’s to blame for the BRIDGE DEBACLE – yet? I heard his team of lawyers are hot on the trail of the culprit. Maybe we will find out before that bridge is complete in 2 years why this all happened! TWO YEARS!!!! I can’t wait to see that project completed in 2026!  2 years my rumpus. I’m not a betting person, but I’d say at least 4, with that cost around $700 million. P.S I never received my “talking points” from Alviti, Governor. Shoot them over to [email protected].  

That’s all I got gang. IT IS WHAT IT IS.

Till next week,
