It is what it is: Nov. 26, 2025 Commentary with Jen Brien
by Jennifer Brien, Commentary, contributing writer
THE TRUTH WILL OFFEND SOME PEOPLE:
ON OZEMPIC……
“We had to invent a drug to prevent people from eating the food around them because the food around is so toxic it’s making them fat and sick. It’s as if we found out TAP WATER was toxic and killing us and instead of fixing the tap water being toxic, we invented a drug that made you less thirsty. How insane is that?”

ON THE RIGHT VS. THE LEFT……
“I’ve always wondered why LIBERALS were referred to as the LEFT – and conservatives as the RIGHT. THEN, I found this BIBLE VERSE…
“THE HEART OF THE WISE INCLINES TO THE RIGHT, BUT THE HEART OF THE FOOL TO THE LEFT” – Ecclesiastes 10:2
—-
ON THE SCAM NFL REPORTERS……
NOT ONE PERSON / REPORTER ASKED STEPHON DIGGS ABOUT THE “MALE INFLUENCER” ACCUSING HIM OF SEXUAL ASSAULT in 2023 BEFORE OR AFTER THE GAME ON SUNDAY… EVEN AFTER THE “INFLUENCER” Christopher Blake Griffith claimed Diggs was plotting to kill him to hide his homosexual proclivity.
—-
ON THE DEMOCRATS……
“DEMOCRATS pretending to suddenly care about EPSTEIN’ VICTIMS is WILD. SIT DOWN. Sit this one out. YOU’RE the same people letting full-grown MEN pretending to be women stroll into WOMEN’S bathrooms and calling it “progress”. TAKE SEVERAL SEATS”.
————————————
PAY ATTENTION
“Pay attention… the desires God placed in your heart aren’t distractions… they’re direction… previews of what GOD is preparing you to carry.
You weren’t created to crave things that contradict your calling.
The desires that keep returning… the ones you can’t shake… aren’t random. They’re assignments wrapped in longing. God plants desire before God reveals direction.
The stirring comes long before the clarity.
The hunger comes long before the harvest…
and YES…
you’ll doubt it sometimes.
You’ll question whether its “just YOU”… but the desires of your heart are where God hides prophecy.
Your job isn’t to force them…. your job is to steward them. To prepare for what you can’t yet see. To become who that future will REQUIRE.”
—————————————-
YOU’RE BEING PROGRAMMED BY THE MEDIA
“You’re being taught what to care about, what to hate, what to fear slowly without any friction until the thoughts in your head aren’t even yours anymore. Outrage is the cheapest lever you could pull in a human being. That’s why EVERYTHING online is on fire. Doesn’t matter what you’re mad about, just that you are mad. Cause ANGER glues your eyes to the screen and while you’re locked in reaction mode, something deeper, a lot deeper in your brain is being carved into you. If you look around right now, NOBODY is ok. ANXIETY is baseline. Kids are depressed before they even hit puberty right now. Adults are medicated just to function and that low dread or that weird feeling in your chest, people call that personal failure or anxiety… that’s the program working EXACTLY as it was designed. A distracted, exhausted, divided population is a population that cannot resist.”

I AM SO GRATEFUL
FOR being ALIVE
FOR Nancy who lets me write to you each week (aww…TY, Jen, we love you!)
FOR GOD who loves me enough to care about what I care about
FOR my cousin Joan
For my friends VAL AND JEAN…
FOR my brother Jon
FOR my animals (outside and INSIDE)
FOR people that are awake in a world full of deception
FOR people trusting me
FOR Mike Stenhouse who lets me rail each week or go all TINFOIL HAT in my podcasts
FOR the roof over my head, the food in my fridge, and the hot shower I have
FOR living in the greatest country in the world and not in some horrible impoverished communist place
FOR MIKE VRABEL
FOR my trainer REBECCA
FOR being sober and being able to care for my mother as she declines
FOR GOD rescuing me from this world and from myself
FOR my eyes, and legs, and body that is still functioning pretty good
…and I am so very grateful for each and every one of you that takes the time each week to read what I have to say and for the feedback and comments you leave. It really means something to me. I hope you know that.

Wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for… in every way.
