Great article, Jenna. You seriously are my favorite author. Making sense with good humor and sarcasm. I'd love to be in on a conversation with you and someone trying to convince you of something. Also, good job kicking the idiot that called you stupid to the curb!
I wish I’d said all that! Well said Jenna! This needs to be a NYTIMES op ed, if anyone still reads it. Or somehow reported on the MSM. The hair on the back of my neck goes up when I think of how we (the unvaxxed ) were treated during Covid. Still waiting for that apology.
The NY Times audience would not understand or appreciate her sarcasm. They would literally read each sentence as literal. Like…literally. OMG, I mean, I can’t even…
(To clarify for any actual NY Times readers who read this, I just declared that your entire readership has the reading and speaking skills of an 11yo valley girl from 1986.)
First, great article and to the point Jenna. Second, I never got vaxxed. Got a religious exemption and continued to work from home of course! And I'm not waiting for an apology. THOSE PEOPLE will never admit they were incorrect. Even my wife will not admit she was hoodwinked. She even got the boosters! Now, I'm concerned about her shedding. And then she asks me "Why are you taking nattokinease?" Some people just don't get it!
Concern about the shedding is a legitimate concern. If you notice any reactions, you may want to reach out to Dr. Kory. I was reactive to being around Vaxxed people and couldn’t go into a drugstore, ones who touted and administered the clot shots, without feeling dizzy and sick. Ivermectin helped a lot and Dr. Kory was a great help to me.
I don’t meet with friends much during booster holiday season. No hugs. My husband got 1 JnJ and quit. No more flu shots. I’m old. I’ve never seen such free range idiocy and completely unhinged behavior. NEVER. EVER. For some, especially women (the cohort most likely to get them all), it’s the jabs. I’m sure of it. They have unscrewed some basic neurons relating to human decency. I’m sure of it.
Hubs is that way, too. Apparently the blinding white lab coat is indeed, blinding.
Hubs just got his 4th-5th jab, and just for giggles, he got the flu and shingles jab as
well.
Since the 1st or 2nd jab, the man formerly
known as Healthiest Man Alive has had:
•A-Fib and surgery for it, with complications,
•Covid, 2-3x, 1 rough and 2 mild, I think?,
•2 MRIs for 1 ailment or
another,
•rotator cuff surgery,
•developed arthritis, bursitis and some other “-itis”— it’s hard to keep
track,
•several little bone issues, aches and pains,
•and more.
Yeah, I’m taking natto,
NAC, bromelain,
zinc, loads of C and not holding my breath for a, “Hmmm, you may have been onto something regarding these shots”. 😂 It’s a real head scratcher, but what are ya gonna do?
We were literally treated as if we had the plague.
Romans 12:2 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Finally, someone has called out the Left for its stupidity that manifests on every level you can imagine: 1)accusing Republicans of being racist when it was Republicans who freed the slaves as well as being the party responsible for passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964; 2)yelling fascist and Hitler at everyone who isn't a Democrat while setting up barricades in streets, stopping traffic, and demanding identification in order to pass; 3)damaging Teslas, the car they wanted us all to buy because "we're all gonna die from CO2"; 4)mandating covid shots because Grandma might die while making abortion great again; 5)masks for everyone but not for ICE. If this were a movie, no one would watch.
Before my in-laws chose to excommunicate us from the family, the reason they gave was “you’re too opinionated”. They knew I wasn’t stupid, they just didn’t want me shedding my intelligence all over everyone. 🙄 So onward I lived for the next 25 years an overly opinionated person, without in-laws. 🤷🏼♀️ The price of speaking truth can be steep.
John 8:36 - “If the Son sets you free, you are free indeed.” Tri Torch, this is not the freedom Jenna is advocating for in her post today. The freedoms we all take for granted so much we have forgotten what the word means in a patriotic country context - where spoiled children have the right to lament their dissents because people have died to give them that right - THAT is the freedom under discussion today. Not religious freedom, important though that also is. (BTW Jenna, LOVED all the mom jokes, gonna memorize them!)
These people are just demented, not to mention stupid, ignorant, and blind. Sadly, my daughter and her husband are part of these people, and that breaks my heart.
Jenna, slight revision here: But if your alleged authoritarian hellscape permits you to make scads of videos reaching thousands of followers calling for President Trump to be “unalived” (the left’s favorite new word), for ICE officers and their families to be doxxed and murdered, and for road blocks by Ice Watch marx…ooops…activists demanding travelers show papers/prove they are not ICE then maybe “authoritarian hellscape” IS more accurate than you think.
As to President Trump’s claim that women will let you grab their intimate body parts? He was telling the TRUTH. How many women can you think of offhand who have sugar daddies? Ashley Sinclair anyone?
I’ve never understood the brouhaha about that particular statement by Trump. It’s how men talk to each other, and we all know women who would absolutely allow it. It’s uncouth, but honestly I’ve heard worse.
I dunno, I feel like if you watch The View you may be a candidate for execution; metaphorically speaking of course.
“Twatwaffle” well played! I’m going to reintroduce it to my lexicon. Used to be a staple.
And honest to God, it was actually Trump (and musk buying Twitter) who saved us from cementing one party rule at the federal level, also known as a dictatorship for all intents and purposes. Try dropping that truth grenade in the middle of a Starbucks.
I love it: “There are plenty of insults you could fling at me that would be accurate,” I informed him by way of a breakup. “Hot-headed, demanding, defensive, defiant, opinionated, unfiltered, gets hangry if not fed every four hours—let me help you out—but make no mistake, stupid isn’t one of them.”
You are so right Jenna. We are given labels to complain about that don't fit the situation and that makes the statements entirely ineffective. We should be addressing the real issues and if we can't then we will soon be in the actual fascism that people are labeling us as already being at. I think it is part of the Overton window efforts. If enough people call it fascism and ignore the creeping authoritarianism, then one day we will be living under actual fascism and those people will happily say "See! I told you so."
While we are not a fascist country, yet, there are still some serious issues that make it not "Literal Land of the Free". We have a propaganda network that rivals many countries, even the worst ones. Some people avoid it and know it for what it is. Others are completely controlled by it to the extent that they cheer when a fellow citizen is killed for political reasons. That is not normal and it will not end well if left unchecked.
Another thought while reading your article: Your depiction of North Korea and other countries that we do trade with on a regular basis have some serious human rights issues. The US is self described as going around the globe and giving freedom to those that need it. That freedom only seems to apply to natural resources that we want to liberate from the ground, not people in distress. Imagine if our Defense Department/War Department, the UN or the WHO were used for fixing countries that couldn't watch TikTok for example instead of killing millions so we can get their oil.
I think we have plenty of fascism here to go around, it's just very rarely where the far left looks for it.
Military budgets that exceed what the military even asked for. Absurd gambling by big banks always backstopped by the Federal Reserve. A medical system totally (OK, maybe no longer TOTALLY) captured by big pharma--and don't forget how agriculture is subsidized to support big Ag.
So yeah, I see plenty of fascism, but you're correct, it's not the "send you to the gulag variety." We can say, to a large degree, whatever we want. It just makes no difference.
Jenna, it seems like every time I read your posts, they make me smile (and laugh out loud at times). It's kind of like you're funny or something, but still manage to get across some salient points. Keep up the good work. ☃️
Great article, Jenna. You seriously are my favorite author. Making sense with good humor and sarcasm. I'd love to be in on a conversation with you and someone trying to convince you of something. Also, good job kicking the idiot that called you stupid to the curb!
🤗🩷🤣
Thank you Wendy for saying exactly what I was thinking, and spoken much better than I would have.
That title goes to Jeff for me, but she's clearly giving him a run for his money 🤣🤑😂
For me, it's a tie between Jenna and Jeff as my favorite substacks. I love them both!
Me too. Each of the them together supplies what they are absolutely BEST at and helps me make sense of this crazy time. I’m so grateful.
Now, now… We aren’t supposed to choose a favorite child.
BOTH bring laughter, light, sunshine, hilarity, snark, and thought provoking plain-speak to the table, daily.
And we are eternally grateful!
One is clearly easier on the Eyes. YMMV
😂
It's Single Issue vs Multiple Issues. Jeff is just a bigger Daily Plate. But it may be a tie on Analysis.
Jenna leaves Jeff in the dust because she doesn’t insult the way people look. Or at least, not that I’ve seen. Both of them make me LOL!
I wish I’d said all that! Well said Jenna! This needs to be a NYTIMES op ed, if anyone still reads it. Or somehow reported on the MSM. The hair on the back of my neck goes up when I think of how we (the unvaxxed ) were treated during Covid. Still waiting for that apology.

It will be a very frigid day in hell before the miscreants issue an apology.
I sort of get PTSD reading or thinking about the jackboots. I did defy them at every turn and opportunity. They are the definition of STUPID!
We were literally treated as if we had the plague.
Romans 12:2 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
Amen sister...
Still laughing at “vagina beanies”. Love the daily dose of laughter, you’re the best!! Much needed these days!!! 😉😂
I'm not sure anyone reads the toilet paper anymore.
Not the WP—they are busy firing “I’m not a journalist. I just play one in the newspapers” folk.

OMG! The post I’ve been waiting for and didn’t know it. You took the *stupid* words right outta my mouth… love it.
"Hot headed, opinionated, unfiltered"..... You forgot funny as hell!!!

Juju - Overly opinionated person who speaks the truth …. My favorite kind of person! Keep being you!! 🥰👌
Your mama so dumb she thought a quarterback was a refund!
Re: the "ex-boyfriend" who called you "stupid."
One wonders how many times since then he has thought, "God, I am so stupid" for letting you get away.
Aweeeee 😭🩷

Agree completely! Political freedom and spiritual freedom ain't the same.
By the end of the day (or much sooner!), may you have 1000 Likes, Jenna.
At least!
These people are just demented, not to mention stupid, ignorant, and blind. Sadly, my daughter and her husband are part of these people, and that breaks my heart.
Small comfort, I know, but my family is littered with them. My son once informed me that accepting transgenderism is only about being nice to others.
