Woke grammies again

 I normally don't watch the Grammys because they are boring

the people who are putting out music are pathetic in general with a few exceptions 

But last night we knew that this was going to be an anti ice rally and so it's important to pay attention to what these spoiled little twits are doing

None of them actually help anybody but they all had their little out ice pins which said they were on the right side of History 
Of course they are rather useless people who pontificate a lot but don't help anybody and you have to wonder how they can sleep at night knowing that all they did was put a pin on their outfits and really made no difference in any respect

Celebrities like Bruce Springsteen Cher bad Bunny are people who really are so selfish and self-centered that they think being on the right side of History, putting a little pin on their lapel is going to make them somehow morally superior to the rest of the planet 

Of course that's why watching Grammys or the academy awards or the Golden globe is an entertainment because you get to see brain dead people doing brain dead things and they feel good about it when they are actually not helping anybody 

The entire event yesterday was a fashion statement not a protest 

Unless you have that little pin on your lapel you are not important you're not significant. you're like the idiots on the line outside club 54 who are too ugly or badly dressed to make the in crowd 

so these other idiots like jelly roll rant and rave about how bad ice is while sitting in the luxury of a auditorium full of cheering brain dead people 

That's the entertainment, knowing that these celebrity types mean nothing. do nothing, have no real opinions. they just need to know that they are fashionably dressed and have the right pin on the lapel.
 I think Melanie wrote a song about them wearing the same button back in the 60s it was just as pointless then but now it's even more ludicrous 

You have to love how these people celebrate themselves while out on the street there's a real conflict going on, none of which any of these celebrities know anything about except filtered through really questionable media 
 in the end we all have our little pin and we all can feel very self congratulatory for having worn out pin during this amazing event, while on the street people are freezing and shooting and dying and being assaulted 
And none of these celebrities are doing anything to help anybody but themselves.

Springsteen goes for woke

 Springsteen silliness is not the biggest disappointment of my life but when a one-time hero goes off the rails the way Springsteen did, I feel a little betrayed.

 you have to wonder who he's been talking to and how he can come up with the Ludacris notions as claiming ice agents are Trump Stormtroopers when his hero, the president that gave Bruce a freedom medal, deported more and put kids into cages with not one peep from the boss of Jersey shore 
This disappointment goes back before Bruce recorded his woke anthem this week. his performance in Philadelphia for Hillary Clinton in the closing days of the 2016 election turned me off on a man I once admired, much as I got turned off when people like Abby Hoffman -- a friend of mine at the time -- twisted John Lennon into a woke idiot
 it's not the same.
 Lennon was vulnerable to that whole collection of users, starting with Yoko, and so his demise was no surprise.
 I assumed Springsteen was stronger than that but apparently he is so desperate for attention he leaped onto the woke bandwagon, spouting all the usual crap that we hear coming from the mouths of woke influencers.
 of course my favorite radio station in Jersey City is playing the crap out of Bruce's crappy song. It is like putting rock salt on a belly wound, testifying to Springsteen's possible success in becoming yet one more celebrity full of stupid notions.
 he will win over a lot of woke people, who in the past looked down on his blue color persona, seeing him perhaps the way the British did Benedict Arnold after giving over West point to them.
But none of the woke people will love him the way working people did and now we don't

Sptingsteens Trump derangement syndrome

 I finally got to hear Springsteen's new song about Minneapolis protest 

Needless to say I was appalled although caught between two conflicting ideas 

Springsteen appears to have caught the Trump derangement syndrome and has one of the worst cases in history, obviously failing to wear a mask when told to and did not get his booster shot.

The other conflicting idea is that he is exploiting the deaths of two people on the streets of Minneapolis in order to become relevant again, a pretty standard reinvention technique he has perfected over the years.

 

Nonetheless he is lost all credibility with this song because -- unlike really classic protest songs like imagine, blowing in the wind, and blackbird, he does not use metaphor to make his point but blatantly calls Trump a Nazi and the ice agents Stormtroopers.

This of course is an invitation for parody which I did as soon as I heard the song and realized it does not have anything original to offer but a regurgitation of all of the anti-ice anti-trunp propaganda that he has digested over the last 8 or so years.

The song really made me pity Springsteen on every level, partly because it fails to meet the basic standard of art as opposed to propaganda, but also shows a real problem mental illness that he apparently has caught from all of the newsreels he's been watching.

On the other hand, he May simply be trying to make money -- which seems to have been a bigger goal for him than actually creating art -- historically, he has sold his soul to the devil in every case to find immortality.

The problem with this latest effort is that he's going to go down as a nut case and that's very sad-- for someone who even stealing his ideas from other people had a decent body of work that he could retire on.

 

Obviously whether it's derangement or a plot to get even richer than he is, Springsteen is vying for a piece of History to become the new Bob Dylan or John Lennon, a spokesperson for peace only his rhetoric is so outrageous that he can't qualify on any level to be either one of them.

At the end of the day, Springsteen is going to come down as a has been, a wannabe, a pathetic woke warrior with no more credibility than the wackos and he celebrates in the streets of Minneapolis.

 very sad 

Springsteen doubles down on his stupidity

 

You have to admire the tenacity of Bruce Springsteen, who is apparently desperate to become the new Bob Dylan on the 21st Century.

Springsteen ain’t no Bob Dylan or John Lennon, even though he’s ripped off both over his long musical career.

When Springsteen is stupid, he doesn’t hold back, and apparently hopes to get another medal – this time perhaps from the Chinese government, which is funding the anti-ICE campaigns.

Springsteen may even get a statue erected in Cuba the way John Lennon did.

For many of his older fans, Springsteen is more than just a minor disappointment. But clearly is looking to capitalize on the deaths of two protestors (both of whom were apparently funded by the Chinese) in order to be seen as being on the right side of the current American Civil War.

He even penned a new song with the aim of it becoming the Uncle Tom’s Cabin of our generation, and he can get even richer than he already is.

What is it that goes on in his pee wee brain? Does he really think he’s God’s gift to mankind, and that people will gravitate to him as the new savior?

Hard core fans will continue to support Springsteen’s music, even when the greedy son of a bitch does nothing but rake in cash from overpriced ticket sales.

We should have been warned about his disposition when Springsteen moved to Beverly Hill all those years ago and tried to hobnob with the jet set.

But since Obama gave him the Freedom Medal, Springsteen has got a new vision of his role in the world – even going so far as to offend his fans by giving a concert to raise money for Hillary Clinton.

These days, he’s on the road promoting his anti-ICE agenda, trying to outdo pathetic bands like Bad Bunny and Green Day as the most offensive performers in music.

It’s all right, ma, everybody must get stoned, and Springsteen erodes whatever status he had among working people by this diatribe in his desperate attempt to solidify his status as a rebel.

Springsteen was never a rebel, just a fake.

And the more he rants and raves about social injustice, the more obvious it becomes that he is trying to exploit the current situation to build up his status.

This is a sad man being stupid.

John Brown syndrome

 

Another day, another shooting in Minneapolis.

I can’t wait for the t-shirts to come out with the names of all the people ICE allegedly killed in pursuit of their duties.

The latest shooting, according to ICE report, came when DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun. The officers attempted to disarm the suspect but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming.

This information is disputed by the governor and the mayor, along with the usual suspects, including biased media.

The bigger question is why this legal gun owner decided to bring his weapon to the protest, considering that he was very active in his role to disrupt ICE.

This has become something of a crusade, and the poor man with the gun has become yet another martyr to the cause, much in the way the four rock-throwing students as Kent State did when they got shot down.

These victims of ICE are a product of the rhetoric coming from the Governor, the mayor, and major media, all of whom have given these radicals license to disrupt ICE activity.

When you carry a gun or drive a car at ICE agents, this is largely inevitable, and all the excuses being made on the left, and all of their gnashing of teeth, will only guarantee we will see more violence against ICE, not less.

Artists throughout the county have naturally come out on behalf of the protestors, much the same way artists back in the 1800s celebrated the heroism of mass murderer John Brown, most of which made this vicious killer out to be some kind of Saint – with the exception of Hawthorn, who like some conservative actors and musicians of today, saw through the bull shit, painting John Brown at the vicious killer he was.

But we have morons like Bruce Springsteen, Green Day, Bad Bunny and others spouting off in support of these radicals, and so give potentially violent protestors more justification to create violence.

At the end of the day, people who want to protest peacefully, don’t bring guns to the event (even when they are legally allowed to carry them), or disobey officers telling them to exit a car.

Protesters and their enablers (the governor, the mayor and the media) believe they have moral high ground (the way John Brown did), and so go far beyond just protesting, and have set the stage for their own tragedy.

Free speech does not justify interference with law enforcement, but then the state’s governor and the city’s mayor seem not to acknowledge this, talking out of two sides of their mouths when they use incendiary language, while claiming they want peace.

The two deaths are tragic, but they are to be expected when you have media pumping up the volume, and making these idiotic people into heroes. They are not heroes. They are pathetic and to some extent brainwashed by their own ideology.

James Cameron hides his head in the New Zealand sand Jan. 23, 2026

 

  

James Cameron has taken his marbles and scampered back to New Zealand.

He said he can’t take it here in the United States where people actually object to being forced to take inoculations against their will.

He hates people who don’t follow science.

This is a man whose most recent work – the Avatar series – is manipulative woke propaganda, real tear jerking crap that insists on rewriting American history.

Cameron squawks like a two-year old (or like any liberal these days), when people disagree with him, regular spoiled brat with a lot of money, who appears to hate other rich people.

He wants everybody to accept whatever liberal president tells us, whether it is injecting ourselves with an unproven and largely parsley tested chemical to help us get over a disease created in a lab, paid for by the American government.

The release of COVID is very suspicious since it came at a time when Democrats were desperate to destroy the Trump economy (and when that didn’t work, these same Democrats stole the election and jailed those who sought to keep them from doing it).

Cameron is a typical rich liberal, who believes we should do whatever we’re told to do, provided it is a liberal government telling us to do it.

Avatar shows just how brainwashed Cameron is, retelling the tale of American conquest, only in his fantasy, the savages win.

I nearly puked during the first of these propaganda films, and only managed to get half way through the second.

Cameron doesn’t live in the real world, but in a fantasy much like the ones he creates, where his side is always right, and all the characters are puppets in which he gets them to say all the politically correct things.

Unfortunately, other people disagree with him and so he runs off to New Zealand like the pathetic sop he is.

I don’t know if Cameron cheered when Charlie Kirk died, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he did, part of the intolerant left.

I suppose Cameron will continue to make propaganda films like Avatar when he gets to New Zealand, hiding his head in the sand, having no real experience with real people only that silly upper west side crowd that like race horses have blinders to keep him from being distracted by other people’s facts.

Cameron is a sad example of a human being, still stuck in the cave looking a shadowy avatars that Plato taught the rest of weren’t real. Instead of meeting with, talking to, people with whom he disagrees, he disparages us, and then flees to other countries where he won’t ever have to look reality in the eye, and can spend the rest of his pathetic life living out his own pathetic fantasy.

I don’t feel sorry for him. Quite frankly, I’m glad he’s gone. One less intolerable liberal to tell me how wrong I am about everything just because he hates people like me who disagree with him.

Upper west side Springsteen Jan. 20, 2026

 Springsteen is being a woke asshole again.

He came out against ICE at a performance in Red Bank and dedicated his show to the woman who tried to run down an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

While a lot of us have questions concerning the merits of that shooting, only the most extreme woke people seek to exploit her death in order to promote their questionable woke agenda.

To be cool these days it to be anti-ICE, which is largely what Springsteen is about – self-promotion.

I stopped liking Springsteen when he did the Philadelphia concert in support of Hilliary Clinton just before the 2016 election.

Springsteen is constantly jumping on bandwagons in order to promote his legacy, so his current statements should come as no surprise.

Springsteen is about Springsteen, even when he pretends to be doing things for somebody else.

His receiving the Medal of Freedom from Obama (along with other liberal scumbags like Tom Hanks and Teri Gross) went right to Springsteen’s head, one more piece of the legacy he’s attempting to evoke.

To be honest, Springsteen has never been original. His best works are derived of Van Morison, his early works ripped off Dylan, the Beatles, Zeppelin, Cream and other original performers. His later works – including his much-celebrated River and Nebraska, are at best hit and miss, not original, but tolerable as long as you don’t’ know who he’s ripped off in the first place.

Over the last few decades, Springsteen has been on a non-stop self-promotion tour, from his almost unreadable autobiography (yes, I read it but by taking a lot of antacid) to his rather silly but overly promoted tour on Broadway – a display of just how completely boring Springsteen’s real life is.

Many of Springsteen’s fans remain loyal to him, even if he betrayed them with his support for Clinton (and now he comments about ICE), mistakenly believing he still represents working people in America, when he only represents himself. Did he ever really have a real job? (You need to read his biography to find out.)

A friend of mine used to see early Springsteen singing on the Boardwalk in Bradley Beach (Asbury Park has outlawed street performers, taking on airs the way Springsteen has himself).

This is not to say Springsteen should be denied his right to oppose ICE. What’s questionable are his motives? Is he doing this to become relevant again (was he ever really relevant at all?) or does he really believe what he spouts?

Springsteen came to the town I covered last year to pay tribute to a film being made paying tribute to his life and career. How could he resist when someone is willing to pump up his ego even more than he pumps it up for himself.

Of course, I still listen to old Springsteen music, even if I believe he has turned out to be a scumbag, a would be Upper West Side liberal who doesn’t live on the Upper West Side and may not even still live in his home state of New Jersey.

I actually pity him. How can he live with an ego as inflated as his is?
