Hollywood Attacks ICE, Ignores Slaughter In Iran

All the Hollywood celebrities are out and showing their absolute rage — but not at the Iranian government mowing people down in the streets.

As cataclysmic events take place in Iran, with apparently hundreds or thousands of protesters being shot to death, a number that has even been estimated to be 10,000, it’s good to know the folks in Hollywood have their priorities straight. 

The Golden Globes were held on Sunday night, providing an opportunity for members of the Hollywood contingent — who prize their pseudo-morality over everyone else’s — to make a stand.

After all, they’ve made stands on issues as far back as Tibet in the 1990s (which they conveniently have now forgotten all about).

Remember when last year, a bunch of Hollywood celebrities pranced around like fools, claiming that a genocide that was not happening was, in fact, happening, and criticized the State of Israel for defending its own existence. 

This year, they have a different cause because, hey, new day, new cause. Now, what could that cause be?

The cause of the Iranian people who are out in the streets risking their own deaths to defy the mullahs? The people of Iran, many of whom are secular and westernized in their attitudes toward the state? Are those the people toward whom Hollywood directs all of its sympathies? Are they sparing a moment for those people? 

Of course not. 

Hollywood put on a show at the Golden Globes, and everything was about ICE and LGBTQ and Bari Weiss taking over CBS, because, you see, these are the real threats. 

According to people in Hollywood, you should have your eyes focused like a laser beam on the predations of ICEt enforcing the law with regard to illegal immigration and deporting people for welfare fraud.

You should have your eyes focused like a laser beam on Bari Weiss taking over CBS News and preventing it from its long history of inaccurately reporting the news. 

You should be focused like a laser beam on the terrible predations that affect LGBTQ+- people all over the United States.

It is an act of bravery to stand up at the Golden Globes and virtue signal on behalf of the LGBTQ+- community.

So last night, a bunch of celebs showed up and decided — as our Moral Guideposts, the lodestars of our civilization — that the chief things you need to worry about as an American are ICE, LGBTQ+-, and Bari Weiss.

Hostess Nikki Glaser began the evening by going after the most deserving target, who deserved her absolute rage: Bari Weiss and CBS News.

Mark Ruffalo showed up and said it was hard to pretend anymore that we don’t live in a “dictatorship.”

Thus saith the man who wears a tux at the Golden Globes and gets paid millions of dollars to play the same character that he has played in every other miniseries and movie for the last two decades.

“We have a woman, Renee Good, was murdered in our streets of America today, and we got literally stormtroopers running around terrorizing. And as much as I love all this, I can’t. I don’t know if I can pretend like this crazy stuff isn’t happening. It’s so hard to pretend anymore,” he complained.

It’s hard for him to pretend? He’s an actor.

This is a person who spent the last two years basically standing on behalf of terrorist groups in the Middle East. But it’s very hard for him to pretend that there aren’t “stormtroopers” wandering the streets.

You know what’s cool about being able to say that sort of thing? There aren’t stormtroopers wandering the streets — because throughout history, when there were stormtroopers wandering the streets, celebrities didn’t get to go on camera and talk about how there were stormtroopers wandering the streets.

In fact, there are many places on Earth where the stormtroopers do wander the streets. For example, Iran, where there are stormtroopers shooting people in the head for protesting.

Did Ruffalo have a word for them?

Nope. He had a little pin that read, “Be Good,” referencing Renee Good.

Hollywood always seems to pick the side that opposes law enforcement or opposes the West.

“The guy’s a convicted felon or convicted rapist. He’s a pedophile,” Ruffalo said of President Trump. “He’s the worst human being. If we’re relying on this guy’s morality for the most powerful country in the world, then we’re all in a lot of trouble. So this is for her. This is for the people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today. I know I’m one of them. I love this country. And what I’m seeing here happening is not America.”

He slandered the president of the United States as a pedophile, called him the worst person in the world, for, among other things, extraditing Nicolás Maduro — a Marxist dictator responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands and probably hundreds of thousands of people and the exile of literally millions of people. That, to Mark Ruffalo, is a big moral problem.

Not a word to spare for the millions marching in the streets in Iran right now, thousands of whom are getting mowed down by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Ariana Grande also showed up wearing her ICE Out pin, the new hot thing in Hollywood.

Frankly, any amount of weight added to her garment puts her at risk of falling over.

Wanda Sykes showed up to talk about LGBTQ+-, saying, “You know, there’s some people pissed off that a queer black woman is up here doing the job of two mediocre white guys.”

This is where Hollywood puts its priorities. There are people on earth literally putting their lives at risk, their bodies on the line for their own freedom.

And Hollywood has nothing to say to them. Nothing.

Are you seeing protests on campuses in favor of the Iranian people right now? Have you seen a single protest?

You have not.

Have you seen a single mass protest by all of these international-law-loving, human rights-adoring left-wingers, the Zohran Mamdani wing of the Democratic Party, in favor of the protesters in Iran, who simply want their horrifying theocratic regime gone?

You have not.

Have you seen a single comment from Democrats, beyond a kind of “thoughts and prayers?”

You have not.

Have you seen protests in the streets?

You have not.

Have you seen calls for material aid?

You have not.

It’s sad-sack nonsense, because there are people in the world who are doing something courageous and incredible right now.

And Hollywood and the Left are gladly looking the other way.
