There are puff pieces and then there is whatever senior climate correspondent David Schechter cooked up on CBS Saturday Morning when he chose to highlight actress Jane Fonda’s campaigning for “climate-friendly politicians.” Schechter claimed, “For most of her 85 years, Fonda's been more than an actor, she’s been a regular presence on the front lines of causes that are bigger than herself.” As footage of Fonda palling around with a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft crew played in the background, Schechter delivered what had to be the understatement of the year, “In 1972 she made a controversial visit to Vietnam opposing the...

Imagine hearing a knock on your door and opening it to find actor Jane Fonda campaigning for a local election candidate. That's how the 86-year-old actor and activist is spending her time this election season. She's campaigning around the country for local candidates who support action on climate change, building on her years of climate-related protests. Fonda told CBS News that the campaigning work felt so necessary that she told her agent she wouldn't be taking any acting jobs this year, to make sure she had time to canvass. "This year I said to my agent 'I'm sorry, I can't...

Liberal actress-turned-activist Jane Fonda claimed that if former President Donald Trump is elected in November, we will not have a livable future. During an appearance on CNN‘s “The Situation Room, Fonda praised Joe Biden, claiming he is “someone we can work with.?’ “The elections in November or existential really, who wins in November is going to determine whether we have a livable future,” Fonda said. “It’s as simple as that. There’s a very stark choice. It’s not that I’m 100% happy with President Biden, but he’s someone that we can work with, that the American people can work with.”

In a fiery interview on Fox News, former Trump aide Stephen Miller launched a scathing critique of Jane Fonda, labeling her Vietnam War protests as treasonous acts that should not be forgotten.

Hollywood icon and far-left activist Jane Fonda suggested abortion-seeking women shouldn’t abide by laws and could even resort to "murder" in order to have control of their bodies on Friday during a wild appearance on "The View." "We have experienced many decades now of having agency over our body, of being able to determine when and how many children to have. We know what that feels like, we know what that’s done for our lives," Fonda said. "We’re not going back, I don’t care what the laws are. We're not going back."

A newly restored documentary spotlights her despicable Team Communism cheerleading. Back around the time Jane Fonda was giving aid and comfort to America’s Communist enemies in North Vietnam, yukking it up with anti-aircraft gunners who shot down our troops — I wonder if there are any laws against that sort of thing — she also headlined an anti-U.S.O. tour. Despising the actual U.S.O. for its policy of giving aid and comfort to American troops, Fonda went on the road with a hippie rebuttal to bolster the chances of the North Vietnamese Stalinists who, after the war turned out the way...

Jane Fonda has said she won’t “be around for much longer” in a frank discussion about death. The 84-year-old announced in September that she had been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and has now admitted that she’s “not afraid” of the great beyond as she expressed how important it is for celebrities with a platform to talk about urgent causes that they care about.

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), the ranking member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, on Tuesday called for even more aid to Ukraine as he urges the West to “Destroy Russia Together.” “Many of our @NATO allies on the front lines with Russia give more aid to Ukraine pound-for-pound than the U.S. That’s why we need to ramp up industrial capacity to refill our own weapons stocks, sell to allies to refill their own and sustain Ukraine victories,” Inhofe wrote on Tuesday.

Jane Fonda announced Friday that she has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy treatments. “So, my dear friends, I have something personal I want to share. I’ve been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and have started chemo treatments,” the legendary actress, 84, wrote on Instagram. “ This is a very treatable cancer. 80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky.”

Appearing on NBC’s Tonight Show Tuesday, far-left actress and climate crusader Jane Fonda launched into an unhinged tirade in which she compared the fossil fuel industry to an abusive boyfriend and even wildly claimed that energy producers were responsible for more deaths around the world than the COVID pandemic. While promoting Fonda’s long history of radical left-wing activism and current obsession with pushing the climate change agenda, host Jimmy Fallon urged her to advise others: “For someone just dipping their toe in the pool, or in the water, what would be the first thing you’d say? ‘Well, this is how...

Who cares? I'm only posting this because of one of their "Best" Moments Best: Jane Fonda While the mid-ceremony montages and career-achievement award presentations can often feel like filler, this year’s Jane Fonda tribute and career montage hit the perfect note — as did her speech when she was presented with the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award. “Art has always been not just in step with history, but has led the way — so let’s be leaders,” she said. With a newly silver coif (joining the likes of Ben Stiller), she also showed up in person; a welcome sight...

Hollywood actor Jane Fonda is set to be honored with the Golden Globes’ version of a lifetime achievement award this year. She’ll be given the Cecil B. deMille Award in part for her “unrelenting activism.”

Actress Jane Fonda called coronavirus "God's gift to the left" because it allowed Americans to see President Trump isn’t helping the working class. The far-left star was busy urging Americans to vote for Democratic nominee Joe Biden and said the upcoming election is a crossroads for the nation. “We are people who can help determine which way humanity goes. What a great gift, what a tremendous opportunity, we’re just so lucky, we just have to use it with every ounce of intelligence and courage and wherewithal we have,” Fonda said in a video published online.

Jane Fonda Calls Covid-19 “God’s Gift to the Left” — Smirks and Giggles “I just think that COVID is God’s gift to the Left,” Fonda said. “That’s a terrible thing to say. I think it was a very difficult thing to send down to us, but it has ripped the band-aid off who Trump is and what he stands for and what is being done to average people and working people in this country.” She described the coronavirus pandemic as an “existential crossroads” for humanity to address issues like climate change. “What a great gift, what a tremendous opportunity, we...

For someone as infamous as Hanoi Jane Fonda to exploit the devastating West Coast wildfires to sell the Green New Deal (GND) is just par for the course. She’s used to pushing propaganda. Fonda joined MSNBC blowhard Joy Reid on the September 17 edition of The ReidOut. Reid shifted her fawning over Fonda’s climate activism to questioning Fonda on how to use the wildfires to get people thinking about implementing the GND. Reid asked: “How do you get from knowing what [the GND] is and talking about it in theory — even with the fires burning — to get people...

Actress and environmental activist Jane Fonda used May Day to renew calls to end fossil fuels and protect worker rights while she urged against corporate bailouts during the coronavirus pandemic, especially for oil and drilling companies. Instead, the actress is demanding that the government allot recovery money to green or sustainable energy as well as to efforts to create a “level playing field” for workers. “These historic sums of stimulus money aren’t going to happen again, maybe even during our lifetimes. And where they go and how they are spent will determine so much about what kind of future we...

It's hard to believe, but May 4, 2020, is the 50th anniversary of the tragic shooting at Kent State University, where Ohio National Guard troops fired on a crowd of students during a massive anti-Vietnam War protest, killing four students and injuring nine. Witnesses, military and law-enforcement experts, historians, and activists are divided on whether the shooting was justified (that's a discussion for another day), but it appears that Kent State is going all-in on pouring salt in the wounds of America's Vietnam veterans. In a move that surprised many in the Northeast Ohio area and beyond, Kent State President...

Irony has no greater example than this: actress Jane Fonda, who infamously posed with the North Vietnamese Viet Cong during the Vietnam war, now says “climate criminals,” (read: oil company executives and politicians who do not embrace the climate change agenda) should be treated like Nazi war criminals who were given a Nuremberg-style trial. Fonda has been making news of late by getting herself arrested weekly to protest climate change. But now she’s gone a step further; as Karen Townsend of HotAir reports; in an interview with Michael Moynihan on Viceland’s “The Impeachment Show,” Fonda asserted that oil executives and...

President Donald Trump reacted Wednesday to the news that actress Jane Fonda was arrested by authorities for protesting against climate change. “They arrested Jane Fonda. Nothing changes,” Trump said. “I remember 30-40 years ago … She always has the handcuffs on, oh man, she’s waving to everybody with the handcuffs.

One of the strangest things about liberals is how they think getting arrested is some kind of achievement. Take Jane Fonda, who, at the tender age of 81, is still ranting about capitalist America ruining the world. Only this time, the issue is "climate change" instead of the Cold War. "Hanoi Jane" infamously sat behind a communist antiaircraft gun in Vietnam in 1972, and today, one could imagine her aiming her big gun at commercial aircraft ruining the planet with their notorious carbon emissions. Naturally, liberal journalists are delighted. On Oct. 25, the Hollywood Reporter gushed over her third arrest...
