Jana Duggar

For Jana Duggar, the jig may be up.

While her family is out there trying to bring a suffering nation together, this single 30-year old may be holed up inside her parents' home, doing all she can to tear her loved ones apart.

The Duggars are a polarizing family.

This may be the most understated sentence ever written on this celebrity gossip website.

If you're a Duggar fan, you've probably heard the rumor by now:

People in the know are convinced that Jana Duggar is courting Lawson Bates.

It's a rumor that's been with us for years and simply refuses to die.

No, we're not talking about reports that Jill Duggar is begging to get back on TV because her family is broke.

Throughout her family's time in the spotlight, fans have been almost creepily fixated on the fact that Jana Duggar is still single.

Of course, you can't really blame Duggar obsessives for fixating on Jana's lack of a love life.

Is this it? Could it really be happening?!

Might we finally be on the verge of the moment that Duggar fans have been eagerly awaiting for an entire freakin' decade?!

Even when Jana Duggar almost breaks Jim Bob's rules, she can never quite step over the line. Why? Because he controls her entire life.

That's unlikely to change. According to a compelling new fan theory, it's Jim Bob's fault, not Jana's choice, that she remains unmarried at 30.

While Jana Duggar has worn pants before, her outfits still must confirm to Jim Bob's sexist rules. After all, she is not yet married.

But when Jana went to Las Vegas, her outfit was so strange that it has Duggar fans scratching their heads. WTF are we seeing?

Certain things simply don't go together.

Like, peanut butter and mayonnaise, for instance. Or perhaps The Bachelor and true love.

We poke a lot of fun at the Duggars and the frequency of their bizarre scandals.

But the fact is, there's nothing funny about some of the crimes that the family has been tied to over the years.

Jana Duggar has her own personal Instagram account...

... and this has gotten her in some trouble with fans and/or with members of her own family, considering such self-promotion goes against those infamously strict Duggar rules.

It's Jinger Duggar who has a reputation as her family's resident rebel, but Jana is a bit of a rulebreaker in her own right.

For instance, Jana has an Instagram account, making her the first unattached Duggar to join social media.

Jana Duggar is not merely here to wish her twin brother a happy 30th birthday.

She's here to gush like crazy over John David and both the man he's always been and the man he's become ever since having a child.

Next month, Jana Duggar will turn 30.

Obviously, she's still young enough that she can follow just about any path in life that she chooses, but as a member of the Duggar family, her options are severely limited.

The Cinderella Duggar.

That's the nickname that's followed Jana Duggar for the bulk of her career in the spotlight.

Most reality TV viewers are aware that much of what they see on screen has been scripted or otherwise choreographed by the shows' producers.

Even so, the audience likes to believe that most of the content they're enjoying is an organic reflection of reality.

So ... busy week for the Duggars, huh?

There's a lot going on with the family, like just so, so much.

Over the past few days, the biggest news out of Tontitown, Arkansas has had to do with the news that the Homeland Security agents raided the Duggar compound for reasons that remain mysterious.

Details are scarce, and there's still a lot we don't know about the situation -- it was initially rumored tha the FBI raided Josh Duggar's home; those reports turned out to be false -- but the investigation could wind up unearthing some secrets that Jim Bob would prefer remained buried.

Folks, we're less than two months away from Jana Duggar's thirtieth birthday.

That may not sound like a very big deal -- and from an objective standpoint, it's not -- but for Jim Bob, this is nothing less than the approach of Duggar D-Day.

The Duggar family apparently feels like Josh Duggar's molestation scandal has blown over, folks, because Jed Duggar is running for office.

Despite that being a deeply controversial move, his big sister Jana gave him a shout-out and a glowing endorsement.

Jana Duggar is 29 years old. She is pretty well-off financially and has a legion of fans on the Internet and has thus far lived a successful life by nearly any metric or qualification.

Except for the only one that matters to her cult of a family:
