Jane Fonda, America’s least favorite anti-war activist turned Hollywood moral authority, took center stage at the 31st Annual SAG Awards to do what she does best—lecture the rest of us. While the Lifetime Achievement Award was meant to celebrate her acting career (which peaked sometime around the Nixon administration), Fonda used her speech to launch into a predictable tirade about “wokeness” and empathy. Because, of course, nothing says authentic compassion like a wealthy actress lecturing Middle America from her Beverly Hills estate.
Woke Just Means You Care… Unless You’re a Veteran
Fonda wasted no time pushing the tired Hollywood line that being woke is just about “giving a damn about other people.” Of course, if you ask the Vietnam veterans who still remember her infamous 1972 trip to North Vietnam, where she posed for photos laughing on an anti-aircraft gun, they might have a different perspective on her ability to “give a damn.” But let’s not let history get in the way of the latest celebrity rebranding effort.
She even referenced Sebastian Stan’s portrayal of Trump in ‘The Apprentice’, implying that actors must empathize with the roles they play—even when portraying a villain. Ah yes, because the real tragedy of our time is actors having to pretend to understand Trump. Perhaps Fonda can tell us more about empathy once she finally extends some to the men whose suffering she mocked five decades ago.
Hollywood’s Empathy is a One-Way Street
For decades, Hollywood’s elite have wrapped themselves in the language of empathy while showing absolutely none for people outside their ideological bubble. When it comes to migrants, criminals, or radical activists? “We must understand them.” But when it comes to struggling American families crushed by inflation, overrun border towns, or veterans who served their country? Crickets.
Fonda’s speech is just another example of how Hollywood hijacks words like “woke” and “compassion” to prop up their political agenda while ignoring the very people they claim to fight for. What about the millions of blue-collar workers laid off thanks to globalist policies that Fonda and her friends champion? Or the families struggling to afford groceries while Hollywood elites fly in private jets to climate summits? Where’s the empathy for them?
We’re in Our “Documentary Moment”—But Not the One She Thinks
Fonda went on to say that we are living in a “documentary moment,” comparing today’s political climate to historical movements like civil rights, Stonewall, and apartheid. Ah yes, because every Starbucks barista having to work a full shift before protesting is just like the struggles of the 1960s.
She then urged the audience to prepare for what’s coming and to keep “a big tent” for everyone—even those of different political persuasions. Now, if Fonda truly meant that, it would be a refreshing break from the usual leftist Hollywood cultism. But we all know what she really means—agree with us or get canceled.
Final Thoughts
Jane Fonda is 87 years old, yet somehow, she’s still managing to be just as out-of-touch as ever. Her speech at the SAG Awards was less about wisdom and more about another aging celebrity trying to stay relevant in an industry that’s already moved on to the next progressive cause. Her words weren’t about unity or real empathy—they were just another Hollywood attempt to control the narrative.
The irony? Fonda spent a lifetime demanding “justice” while standing on the wrong side of history. From North Vietnam to woke Hollywood, her idea of activism has always been about pushing an agenda—not about actual compassion for the people who make this country great.
So Jane, if woke really means caring about people, maybe it’s time to start with the ones you sold out first.

Jane is full of ot air. Being “woke” is being dumb!
One of the most irrelevant opinions out there. Who cares?
“Vietnam vets are NOT Fonda Jane.”
“Jane Fonda: Communist at heart, traitor by choice.”
What a knt.
As a military retiree, I say she can blow it out of her wazoo. She should of been tried for treason long ago.
Agree EL – and Thank You For your service!
Hanoi Jane, what a loser…..hard to understand, she sold out America, and the solders fighting for her freedoms, yet we celebrate her….I will never forget……
Being a Vietnam era Air Force pilot who flew 116 combat mission in Nam, I DETEST everything about Hanoi Jane!! Can’t stand her for the way she dealt with the POWs from that shitty war! I’m proud that I served, and proud to have been an Air Force pilot, but not proud of the war that I gave 16 months of the prime of my life to! Had we gone in and kicked butt, we could have won in about a year and a half, and not lost 50,000 American lives. But, the war was run by inept politicians, not military brass. But Hanoi Jane should have been tried for treason! I wouldn’t cross the street to pee on her if she were on fire!!
WELL SAID SIR. IN THE L;ATE ’70S, I LISTENED TO A USAF PILOT SPEAK IN DETAIL HOW HANOI JANE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF A FELLOW AVIATOR. I WILL DESPISE THIS SCUM OF A PERSON TILL MY DYING DAY!
Well Said Buzz – and Thank You for your Service!
My deceased air force husband was a pow in nam for almost 7 years.
That evil old hag caused the deaths,beatings and torture of our pows.
America,why is she not charged for treason for what she did,is hollyweird more important than our pows?
Amen! Very well said, Patricia and Buzz. I remember their treasons very well. Bless you both for stating those sickening, horrid truths.
Hanoi Jane and her buddy, John Kerry, and all who have come before and after them, will face God’s vengeance, and His judgement is final.
Patricia – we here at Steadfastandloyal honor your husbands service along with those who died or were tortured because of this traitor. And, we couldn’t agree with you more that she should have been charged for Treason!
Sorry for your loss. Your husband was worth a million of her. I wish I could thank him for his sacrifice and service. She’s outright a horrible miserable person.
F the traitor. She needs to leave the US,
Since the B betrayed us.
I AM HOPEFUL THAT BIDEN DIDN’T PARDON HANOI JANE, AND PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FILE TREASON CHARGES AGAINST HER…
The sooner she is in the ground the better
Whho cares what Hanoi Jane has to say! She should have been tried for treason 50 years ago!
Hanoi Jane is a traitor to All Viet Vets. Money, Power, Makeup, and accolades will never erase her filthy display of treason. There is a special place in Hell for Her

Viet Vet ~ Nov 67 – Dec 68
This retired VN vet says piss on Hanoi Jane. Who even listens to that traitor.
It looks like someone pissed on her hair.
Too bad that Commie bitch wasn’t on the receiving end of one of our bombs when she was doing her anti-American propaganda tour in ’72. She is one of those Hollywood hypocrites who hates America but has benefited from our freedoms. She will burn in hell.
I am a Vietnam vet and I couldn’t care less what this anti American traitor thinks about any issue. She should still be serving time in prison for treason
Traitor Hanil Jane should have gone to prison. I watch nothing she is in nor anyone of her ilk. Reason I will not watch hank”s new series or anyone else’s with that outlook about America.
How she ever has a career speaks volumes of how Hollywood thinks. She should have never gotten another part since 1972. Hollywood should have banished her but they reward her. She hates America and all she stands for, Jane thinks she’s more important than the constitution and the soldiers who support it. I’ve never loathed an actor as much as her. She’s a communist traitor.
i’m not a veteran but i can say “I ain’t fonda ‘Hanoi jane’!”
An elite and an entertainer. That basically means she’s a worthless human pile of waste. Other than that, she’s wonderful….
Thanks to Hanoi Jane, I was able to say goodbye to the Milwaukee Braves in early 1990s as she waved the tomahawk for the Atlanta Braves sitting beside her loved one, Ted Turner. What a loser…
