But now they’re screaming like it’s the end of the world under Trump, because they’re nothing more than elderly cranks living in their own private trillionaire nursing homes – throwing full-blown preschool tantrums simply because someone finally told them “no.”

Let me get this straight. Barack Obama ran the most aggressive deportation machine this country has seen in modern times – over three million illegal aliens removed in eight years, with annual peaks topping 400,000. That’s not a typo. That’s more bodies shipped out than any president before or since.
Under Obama, ICE was out there doing exactly what it was created to do: rounding up criminal aliens, gang members, and people who had no legal right to be here.
And where was Jane Fonda?
Where was Bruce Springsteen?
Where were all the other multi-millionaire Hollywood virtue-signalers who now treat every ICE van like it’s a Nazi cattle car?
Crickets. Total, deafening silence.Not one sold-out stadium concert where Springsteen belted out anthems about “families torn apart.” Not one appearance on Colbert where Fonda teared up and called Obama’s ICE “Gestapo tactics” or accused them of “kidnapping” and “shooting” people. No red-carpet protests. No celebrity Instagram campaigns. No “No Kings” rallies with aging rock stars pretending they’re revolutionaries while wearing designer jeans that cost more than most Americans’ monthly rent.
Why? Because Obama was a Democrat. Because the right people were in charge. Because these pampered, out-of-touch elites only get moral outrage when it can hurt the guy they hate.
NOTE: Two Americans, Renée Good and Alex Pretti, lost their lives earlier this year during chaotic confrontations with ICE agents in Minneapolis. The simple truth is they were only in the line of fire because they chose to be there – inserting themselves directly into active enforcement operations, disrupting agents, and placing themselves in a volatile, dangerous situation.
When you deliberately block federal officers doing their job, or throw yourself into the middle of an arrest or raid, or turn a street into a smoke-filled protest zone while ICE is trying to work, bad things can happen. That’s not unique to Trump’s ICE, it’s basic reality. Obama never had to deal with thousands of activists showing up with cars, smoke bombs, barricades, and outright physical obstruction every time his agents tried to remove criminal illegals. His operations largely proceeded without that level of organized interference. Fly in the face of danger long enough and someone can get hurt — whether they “deserve” it or not. The blame belongs to those who turned routine law enforcement into a battlefield, not to the agents trying to do the job.
Fast-forward to Trump’s second term. Same ICE. Same mission: remove people who entered illegally, especially the ones with criminal records who make our streets and neighborhoods less safe. The exact same concept that Obama executed at record levels. But suddenly it’s a humanitarian crisis? Suddenly it’s “state terror”? Suddenly these same celebs are climbing onstage and into the headlines to sabotage it?Give me a break.This isn’t about compassion. It’s not about “families.” It’s not about some principled stand against deportation. It’s pure, unadulterated Trump Derangement.
These people didn’t lose a single night’s sleep when Obama was deporting record numbers of illegals because Obama wasn’t the orange man who beat their anointed queen and then came back to beat up another not-so-anointed queen.
They didn’t care when Obama’s ICE was doing the exact same job because Obama’s success didn’t threaten their fragile little worldview.
Now? Now they’re throwing tantrums in public because Trump is doing it, and they can’t stand the thought of him succeeding at keeping American communities safe. They’d rather see illegal gang members, fentanyl dealers, and repeat offenders stay here — endangering actual citizens — than let Trump get a single win on immigration.
What’s even worse is that a whole lot of well-meaning but easily-led folks out there are falling for it. They watch Fonda and Springsteen perform their little resistance theater and think, “Wow, these famous people must be right — this must be different and evil.” They don’t realize it’s the exact same ICE. The exact same concept. The exact same goal of protecting American families and neighborhoods that Obama himself pursued when it suited him.
These celebs aren’t informed. They’re not brave. They’re patently stupid, entitled, and completely insulated from the consequences of open borders. They don’t live in the neighborhoods where MS-13 sets up shop. They don’t send their kids to schools overwhelmed by illegal migrants. They fly private, live behind gates, and lecture the rest of us from their mansions while collecting fat checks from the very system they pretend to hate.
The hypocrisy is so thick you could spread it on toast.
If Fonda and Springsteen truly believed deportation was immoral, they would have been screaming at Obama in 2012 when he was hitting peak numbers. They didn’t. Because it wasn’t about the policy. It was never about the policy. It was about power, tribal loyalty, and their burning desire to see Trump fail — even if that failure comes at the expense of safer streets for the rest of us.
you never saw smoke bombs or wild and angry protesters when OBAMA was running ICE.
So the next time one of these Hollywood has-beens climbs on a stage or a late-night couch to cry about ICE under Trump, remember this: they were perfectly fine when Obama was doing twice as much. They only discovered their “principles” the day Trump took office.
That’s not activism. That’s just another day in the lives of stupid, uninformed, entitled people who think their fame gives them the right to undermine America’s laws — as long as it sticks it to the right president.
And the rest of us are supposed to take them seriously? Not a chance.
A BIBLE VERSE
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.” [Matthew 23:27-28 (NIV)]
WHY I CHOSE THIS VERSE:
It directly calls out people who put on a big public show of “righteousness” (the protests, screaming, virtue-signaling) while being full of hypocrisy on the inside — exactly like staying silent during Obama’s record deportations but throwing food-fight tantrums now.
LET US PRAY
Lord, deliver us from the Jane Fondas and Bruce Springsteens — the hypocritical celebrities who stayed silent under Obama but now throw tantrums to undermine law and order. Expose their hypocrisy and silence their influence.Protect our nation from their destructive foolishness. Amen.
