It is what it is. May 7, 2025 – Jen Brien
by Jennifer Brien, contributing writer, commentary
THIS HEADLINE SHOULD BE ILLEGAL
Folks, did you see this CRAZY headline yesterday floating around the DAILYMAIL website? I couldn’t believe it. Actually, it really pissed me off because of the terror I’m sure a whole bunch of elderly people felt reading it. It read (and I quote) “50,000 PEOPLE IN MAJOR STATE ARE WARNED TO STAY INDOORS TUESDAY, OR RISK DEATH”. Now WHAT in the hell is THAT? Short of a nuclear attack, that’s a HARDCORE headline to read as you settle in for your morning ritual of corn flakes and coffee.
As far as I can tell, there was zero lead up, no warning… nothing about pollution levels in the days prior, just THAT headline on the cover of their morning edition news site. If you want to read exactly why “death is imminent” if you stepped out of your home TUESDAY check out my FB page and read the story. HINT – POLLUTION is a major issue in TAMPA but so is all the crap they’re spraying all over the country in the skies for whatever reason. I sure wish someone would come clean about who is doing what up there and how its funded. RFK, Jr. recently told a reporter he’s going to investigate the chemtrails that everyone is seeing but refuses to discuss… stay tuned.

DID YOU GUYS SEE THIS?
“MICHELLE OBAMA REVEALS SHE’S IN THERAPY AFTER SHUTTING DOWN BARACK DIVORCE RUMORS: I’M TRANSITIONING” (WEIRD CHOICE OF WORDS)
“SERIAL KILLER FEARS PROBED BY AMERICA’S LEADING EXPERTS AFTER WAVE OF 11 CORPSES SPARKS PANIC” (WHY ISN’T THIS A MASSIVE LOCAL STORY?)
“ANGEL REESE’S MOM TAKES SHOT AT CAITLYN CLARK AND HER FANS” (CAN’T THESE LADIES JUST PLAY THE DAMN GAME? I CANNOT SIT THRU THIS CRAP FOR ANOTHER SEASON… IT’S EXHAUSTING)
“BURGER KING ORDERED TO FACE LAWSUIT ALLEGING “WHOPPERS” ARE WAY SMALLER THAN ADVERTISED”. (GOOD! BECAUSE THEY ARE!)

THE WORLD WANTS US ENSLAVED
What if for one day you ripped off the MASK that the world placed on you as you grew up and actually did the things you wanted to do and became the person that lives inside of your mind? Would you be authentic? Would you be happier? Would you experience PEACE in this noisy, chaotic world? I don’t know the answer to THOSE questions, but you would be free… and I think THAT by default makes one happier.
I think many of you understand what I’m saying because you live lives that you kind of feel like you got stuck in somehow. It’s not how it was supposed to go, but somewhere along the line there you are. Drinking too much, dissatisfied with your storyline and waiting for the NFL to return in the fall. It happens to all of us at some point whether you care to admit it or not.
You say to yourself “HOW DID I GET HERE?” IT HAPPENS TO ALL OF US. Some folks call it a “mid-life crisis”, I just call it “LIFE”. Gang, breaking away from “beehive” mentality and coloring outside the lines of what you’re “expected” to do takes guts. Trying new things, going new places, cutting all your hair off, changing your scenery, culling the herd and letting go of people who just aren’t worth the time or drama, learning how to say “NO”… whatever it IS for you it ALWAYS takes guts.
I mention this, this week because I know a lot of really unhappy people THESE DAYS and honestly, it makes me sad. Really sad for them. Life isn’t fair, bad things happen to good people and yes, very often nice guys do finish last… but finding your voice and value is not easy and living right and being a GOOD HUMAN is not easy either. Nope it never is in a society that wants us all fearful, angry or enslaved in some way. So keep your chin up folks… onward through the fog I SAY! Don’t let fear control your life or mind. That’s what enslavement looks like. Remember that.

IF ONLY PEOPLE SAID WHAT THEY’RE THINKING… YOU’D HEAR...
PEOPLE WANT SHEDEUR SANDERS TO BE A DRAFT BUST
THE MET GALA IS THE WORST OF THE WORST WANNA BE’S AROUND TOWN AND THEY’RE STUPID ENOUGH TO PAY 75,000$ TO ATTEND IT
MADONNA IS SCARY CREEPY AND WELL PAST HER EXPIRATION DATE AS A SEXPOT
TRUMP IS ACTUALLY DOING SOME THINGS DEMOCRATS LIKE
“ILLEGAL MIGRANT PRIVILEGE”- THE ABILITY TO BREAK EVERY LAW IN THE COUNTRY AND STILL REMAIN THE VICTIM
PEOPLE DON’T WANT MUSLIM TAKEOVERS OF RURAL CITIES AND TOWNS
PEOPLE SAY, “I WISH I DIDN’T GET “THE SHOT”
COLLEGE EDUCATED LIBERALS ARE SOME OF THE MOST RACIST PEOPLE THAT EXIST
THE ELITE FEAR BLACK REPUBLICANS MORE THAN GOING BROKE
TRUMP IS TRUMP’S WORST ENEMY
WHY DOES THE GAY COMMUNITY GET THE WHOLE MONTH OF JUNE WHEN VETERANS ONLY GET ONE DAY

TRANS BAN IN THE MILITARY
HERE ARE MY IMMEDIATE THOUGHTS AS A VETERAN SWIRLING AROUND MY BRAIN AS THIS RULING HAS JUST COME IN:
I THINK THIS RULING IS A GOOD ONE
I DON’T THINK PEOPLE WITH GENDER DYSPHORIA SHOULD EXPECT EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING THEY WANT
I THINK PEOPLE AGREE THAT BEING WHO YOU WANT TO BE IS YOUR GOD GIVEN RIGHT, BUT FORCING YOUR WAY INTO WHATEVER SPACE YOU WANT IS WRONG
THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS IN THE MILITARY
THE “EXTRACARE” REQUIRED FOR TRANSGENDER SERVICE MEMBERS “IS A DISTRACTION TO MILITARY READINESS”
I DON’T AGREE WITH PROVIDING SERVICE MEMBERS WITH TAXPAYER FUNDED GENDER AFFIRMING CARE
THE MILITARY IS A KILLING MACHINE, NOT A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT
UNIFORMITY IS VITAL IN THE MILITARY
OVER HALF OF THE COUNTRY AGREES WITH THIS TRUMP POLICY
I KNOW SOME PEOPLE WILL BE VERY UPSET ABOUT THIS RULING BUT TO QUOTE THE ROLLING STONES “YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT”…
to be continued………….
That’s all I got this week gang. “IT IS WHAT IT IS”
Till next time,
Jen

Good stuff once again, interesting and thought provoking. Tuesday warning, never heard or saw it, I survived many years in LA smog, what air quality could be worse. Michelle O transitioning, into what? The Military established, 14 June 1775, and has been going strong until this transgender and other non-military, Covid shots, came along glad it’s going back to a fighting force not like you said a social experiment.
Another piece that is spot on, thanks for sharing and keep living your best life!!!
Enjoy your column every week Jen! Looking beautiful, happy & healthy! Love it!
Not important but it is a lovely photo of you to head your column. I think the world has been going nuts for awhile but I think some folks are taking speed! Too many issues in this column I could go through a whole coffee pot of my coffee to comment on each. Weird as it seems I have gone through most of my 70+ years thus far being a little weird but I agree with about 93% of your comments! I really enjoy your column and look forward to it. Basically I think Trump is his own worst enemy in many instances and I really like the Kristi Noem ads! She comes across ‘cool’!
Thanks for the info and commentary. Take care.
That picture in the pink hat, you look very happy and healthy. Your observations are spot on. Enjoy reading them.
This gender affirmation stuff is getting way out of control! Is anyone reading these studies of the people that are disappointed, unhappy, and or suicidal? The numbers are huge! Doing something like that is a little bit more life-changing than getting a tattoo or wearing someone else’s clothes!!
I’m sorry if this offends anyone, but I think a lot of the issues in the world are truly solved when you get mental health care… Proper mental healthcare.
And it’s not just only the transgender’s the world has gotten a little strange the kids that go to school as cats lizards, and giraffes…… AW come on……. When I grew up, we wouldn’t even have Ben offered mental health.
Have a good day, Jen this was and awesome as usual article!
