It is what it is – Jen Brien
by Jen Brien, contributing writer, commentary
LOCK UP RAW
Let me say from the onset, I LOVE this show. It’s a look into facilities/life where they hold or incarcerate really bad folks. REALLY SICK AND TWISTED HUMANS (of all walks of life, mind you) but for some reason these days you actually have people saying we should open all the doors to all the prison cells and let all the sick and twisted out to roam free and have their way because INCARCERATION IS RACIST. I read that last week and nearly died. WHAT THE —-? HUH?
Gee, I don’t know, stop pointing fingers and get back into those communities that are sick and figure it out. Fatherless kids may have something to do with things, but it’s far easier to shift blame than look in the mirror. RIGHT? I have many LOCK UP RAW episodes to get to, but the majority of young men and women say they came from “fatherless homes” that were riddled with violence and substance abuse. I’m not Inspector CLOUSEAU, but I might start there… just a tip from your AUNT TILLY.

A POEM ABOUT THE WASHINGTON BRIDGE
IF you drive on 195, you may not make it out alive
SO MANY people drive high on weed
At crazy scary ridiculous speeds
The lanes got narrow… the other side is closed
Politicians lie and the taxpayer got hosed.
THE END.

DIDDY
Let’s keep this simple. YOU’RE a monster, a POS, and it’s over. You’re an act, and you got busted. GO AWAY or you will be humiliated by other victims into seclusion. (EVERYONE is hoping to hear from Justin Bieber about HIM at some point) WE DON’T want the crocodile tears or fake apology – or your VODKA.
DISAPPEAR.

THOUGHTS WHILE WAITING FOR MY DRY CLEANING
A.) Racism will never end. IT’S been monetized… It’s a business.
B.) When was the last TIME I showered…
C.) SHOULD English be the official language in this country?
D.) The Skipper, Professor, or Gilligan? HELL! ANYONE but Gilligan.
E.) MY NEIGHBOR reminds me of that nutbag, GLENN CLOSE, in “FATAL ATTRACTION”
F.) I wonder if the “AMAZING CHAN AND THE CHANG CLAN” would get made today???

BLOCK’S BILLBOARDS
To quote the profundity of that dude, DAMONE, from “FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH”… (all you men remember PHOEBE CATES getting out of that pool… I’m sure) “Isn’t this GREAT”!!?? and – IT REALLY IS. KEN BLOCK has balls. He’s raised enough cash to put massive billboards up criticizing the GOVERNOR and the state for the WASHINGTON BRIDGE DEBACLE for at least a month on 195 WEST and – I LOVE IT. Gov Mckee, who plays “Mr. Nice guy” every chance he gets (unless he’s asked a question he doesn’t like at pressers and then is exposed as a real bully… think BRIAN CRANDALL) isn’t being so “nice” to his constituents. Has the GOV “CLEANED HOUSE” at the DOT? WHO has been fired for the absolute hell that’s gone on with that structure, screwing up commuters lives EVERYDAY? As of late, the GOV is hiding behind his so called “legal team” to figure out who needs to be held accountable. OMG. Let’s start with PETER ALVITI – your boy. BOTH of these guys are such a scam, in my opinion, it’s unbelievable. Meanwhile, some folks in the press are carrying the load for the GOV with their “TALKING POINTS” they received FROM the GOV himself… (I never did get mine, BTW – [email protected] – shoot me an email, GOV!). But then there’s good ole KEN BLOCK. THANK GOD FOR TELLING the state and this administration that we regular folks see you, and we have not forgotten. Conversely, WE SEE YOU KEN. WE SEE YOU – and WE THANK YOU.

THE THEY/THEM SCOUTS
Did you all see what’s happening to the FORMER “BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA”?
They changed the name.
Added a “Diversity and Inclusion” Merit Badge to the EAGLE SCOUT REQUIREMENT…. (dead serious), and caved to pressure from the far out PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT.
What happened? MEMBERSHIP down 43%.
MORAL OF THIS STORY?
“GO WOKE GO BROKE”
___
HEADLINES YOU”LL NEVER SEE
1. “BLM admits IT WAS ALL A SCAM – and wants to return all the money”.
2.) “FBI investigating why so many CLINTON FRIENDS died from ‘SUICIDE'”.
3.) “SECRET SERVICE AGENTS figured out whose COCAINE IT WAS at the WH!”
4.) “BILL GATES dies SUDDENLY” while at a VAX conference”.
5.) OPRAH AND GAYLE really are more than friends”.

That’s all I got this week gang. “IT IS WHAT IT IS”.
Till next week,

As usual, nicely done…. Especially liked the headlines. Being a MA guy I’ve only heard a bit about the bridge, but it sure sounds like a mess, being handled by a mess.
English should be the official language of the USA. When I see my BALLOT written in several languages I could scream! That is wrong. You can’t speak and read the English language then you can’t vote. I don’t care what you do in your home – officially use English. By the way, how many languages is the Constitution written in, Declaration of Independence, Gettysburg Address? Oh and Inauguration Day Address? Just asking for a friend.
