Bruce Springsteen tells ICE to ‘get the f–k out of Minneapolis’ at surprise NJ show appearance

 For years this man was one of my favorites...until he wasn't. TD

New York Post  

"Springsteen has long been vocal in his criticism of former President Donald Trump and has frequently aired his political views during concert appearances."

Bruce Springsteen Dedicates Song to Renee Good, Tells ‘Gestapo’ ICE ‘Get the F**k Out of Minneapolis’

"He then attacked the federal government in a truly insurrectionist vein: . . ."

So we must suppose Bruce likes the thousands flooding into the country daily during the Biden (or somebody's) administration? 
Speaking of Bruce - Biden, always remember this statement Springsteen made when Biden won the election for President:

From a 2021 post in the Tunnel Wall: What Bruce Springsteen Has Said About Joe Biden on 9/21/20  He speaks well, writes well, sings excellently, but I have to consider him a poor judge of people's character. The Tunnel Dweller

..."For one, Springsteen and Biden romanticize the blue collar, factory life of times past, but neither of them have spent time experiencing it. Springsteen might have grown up in a working class family, but he has spent the majority of his adult career in the limelight. Biden’s been in politics his whole life with little to show for it. And no matter how much pandering he extends to the working class and how relatable he pretends to be, his hands will never be calloused. He’d sooner kill jobs before he’d do any work to create them, as we’ve already seen just weeks into his presidency. Biden and Springsteen have taken it upon themselves to be the mouthpieces of the working class man–but as it stands now, they are both failing miserably."...

And to think, I have Springsteen's channel programmed on my satellite radio. TD

‘Nobody Cares’: ["Chardonnay socialist"] Bruce Springsteen Mocked For Tirade Against Trump

 I've always loved the guy's music and even have a shortcut to his XM channel. But the pleasure of listening just is not there and hasn't been for, well, since Biden. The Tunnel Dweller.

"Singer and leftist Bruce Springsteen opened his “Land of Hopes and Dreams” tour with his E Street Band by delivering a lengthy diatribe on foreign soil against President Donald Trump, which led to mockery and criticism on social media.

"The 75-year-old recording artist took to the stage on Wednesday in Manchester, England, to make his complaints." . . .

. . . "While some social media users agreed with Springsteen’s message, a large number of commenters were critical of the statements he was making.

“Nobody cares what Bruce Springsteen has to say,” one X user replied. 

“Bruce Springsteen has completely lost his mind,” another commenter observed. “He goes full MSNBC instead of just playing the music people were there to hear. Entertainers are such narcissists.” . . .

Bruce Springsteen Rants About Trump Overseas — Then Trump Drops a Nuke on Him   (RANT: to talk loudly and in a way that shows anger : to complain in a way that is unreasonable) 

 Springsteen has constantly sided with the far left on most political issues. But over recent years, his political commentary has grown decidedly dumber. In 2016, he canceled a concert in North Carolina in protest of a law restricting trans-identified people from using restrooms that do not correspond with their biological sex.

 . . . "It might be unseemly to criticize a musical legend like “The Boss.” So I won’t. I’ll simply point out that it might not be the greatest idea to take political opinions from someone who thinks men belong in women’s bathrooms."

UPDated: 'Treasonous': Bruce Springsteen unleashes anti-Trump attacks as he kicks off tour

 Raw Story.  

Let Bruce tell you whom America should vote for.

"Legendary rock star Bruce Springsteen kicked off this year's European tour with a fiery tirade against President Donald Trump.

"According to Rolling Stone, Springsteen, performing in Manchester, England, issued the rebuke before launching into his hit song, "Land of Hope and Dreams."

“ 'The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll, in dangerous times,” he said. “In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, and has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration."

" 'Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experience to rise with us, raise your voices against the authoritarianism, and let freedom ring," he continued. "This is ‘Land of Hope and Dreams.”

"Springsteen has used his voice to highlight political causes for years, and backed multiple Democratic presidential campaigns, playing "The Rising" at the Democratic National Convention in 2020." . . .

Patricia McCarthy commented on Springsteen's yokefellows: "With each passing day, the Democrats are proving they hate America"  

. . ."They reveal their contempt for American citizens on a daily basis.  Sen. Chris Murphy admitted that his party “values” these millions of migrants over American citizens.  They are going to great lengths to protect them from law enforcement.  So full of hate for President Trump and his supporters, they have quite literally sold their souls to the evil that Biden’s open borders brought to our country."  . . .

Breitbart

Why So Many Fans Turned Against Bruce Springsteen - ClassicRockHistory.com
UPDATE:. . ." As John Kerry failed to defeat George Bush so did Bruce Springsteen’s commitment to change. What it did do was lead to a huge backlash against Bruce Springsteen. A backlash that would become permanent among millions of fans who would never forget the images and words of Springsteen standing on stage next to John Kerry opposing a President (Bush)that they actually loved and opposing a way of life they were fine with. Over the years when Bruce Springsteen would stand on stage next to President Obama, more and more fans walked away upset in his endorsement of yet another Democrat." . . .

Parody As a Weapon Part CXXIII; What was that about “your word as a Biden”?

 American Free News Network

"In our last installment of Parody As a Weapon Part CXXII before the November election, we noted the similarities between the denialism of certain segments of the establishment (the mayor of Aurora, Colorado and Martha Raddatz) regarding the presence of illegal alien organized crime in our communities as a result of Biden-Harris border policy failures (or success, depending on what their goals really were), and compared it to government-inspired organized crime from the previous century. In this segment, we will continue to look at organized crime and its practice by the family currently occupying the White House.

"On Sunday, December 1, shortly before jetting off to Africa (perhaps to consider setting up a government in exile in a country with lax extradition), Joe Biden announced that he was issuing a blanket pardon for his son Robert AKA “Hunter” Biden for any federal crimes committed from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024 (the date of the pardon), including the firearm offenses he was convicted of committing and the tax offenses to which he had pleaded guilty.
"Though Biden had previously promised directly and through his staff that he was not going to take any such action to pardon or commute his son’s sentence, most of us who have observed Biden closely for more than 50 years were not surprised, as the current soon-to-be-evicted occupant of the White House long ago established that he was a liar of the first order.

"White House Communications Director Karine Jean-Pierre tried vainly to spin how Biden’s false statements were true at the time, even if the current statement was not true with respect to the politicized nature of the Biden Justice Department. Like most of the other utterances from the current spokesliar, this too failed to persuade, or even pass the smell test.

"Another who has served as a spokesman and cheerleader for Joe Biden is entertainer Bruce Springsteen. As a shill for democrat politicians, Springsteen has parlayed his once-formidable talent as a musician and songwriter into fundraising for left wing hacks running for office. He narrated videos for Biden in 2020 (shortly before being arrested for driving his motorcycle under the influence of alcohol on federal land during the Trump administration) and played at Harris rallies in 2024." . . .

"It is not a surprise that a man known as “The Boss” would support Joe Biden, given the sentiment expressed in so many of his songs that America is not that great of a country (though that sentiment would tend to make him and Andrew Cuomo supporter). While many thought “Born in the USA”, the name of his 1984 album with an eponymous single was a jingoistic pro-American tune based on the chorus, an actual review of the lyrics reveals it to be a grievance festival. As such, it seems appropriate to use a cut from the album of a once-talented hypocrite to highlight the hypocrisy of the talent-limited occupant of the White House, and his addicted son." . . .

Bruce Springsteen will love a Democrat when nobody else will

Pictures of Jill Biden With Donald Trump at Notre Dame Cathedral Spark Quite a Bit of Discussion   . . ."That's where things get even funnier. Guess who Jill Biden sat next to? That would be none other than the incoming president himself, and they seemed pretty dang chummy. "

. . ."Kind of wild to see the sitting president chatting up the next Hitler, but here we are. 2024 has never promised to be anything but crazy. 

"Seriously, though, this does put to bed all the silly White House proclamations throughout the campaign about "fascism," doesn't it? If Jill Biden really believed Trump was a "threat to democracy," she wouldn't be seen within a hundred feet of him. That's politics, I guess. These people are nothing if they aren't completely inauthentic and willing to say anything to maintain their power. 

"I mean, come on. Does this look like someone gazing upon Hitler to you? "

"You know, I'm only half-joking when I say that Jill Biden voted for Trump. Don't underestimate the disdain she has long had for Kamala Harris. Those two women really don't like each other, and it's shown in how happy the Bidens seem to be since the vice president crashed and burned. 

"Trump is pretty obviously the acting president at this point. He's the one out meeting with world leaders and making power moves while Joe Biden sends his wife in his place. That she spent her time chatting up the incoming president only adds to the dynamic. It's a bit surreal, but also refreshing. For at least a moment, it feels like people are returning to some semblance of normalcy in politics, where people treat each other with some modicum of respect. Will that last? Of course, not, but I'll take what I can get."  Bonchie

The thread unraveling the Biden regime   "TIPP Insights has published a must-read editorial aptly titled “Biden’s Unprecedented Blanket Pardon Destroys His Legacy and Proves Trump Was Wrongly Impeached Over Ukraine.”  The piece cuts to the heart of the issue: this pardon isn’t just about Hunter — it’s about insulating Joe Biden and dismantling the narratives used to undermine Donald Trump’s presidency.  

This isn’t just about one man or one family.  It’s about the very survival of our Republic’s integrity.  The American people demand answers — and they deserve accountability.  For those who enabled, concealed, or profited from this corruption, the day of reckoning draws near.  Winter is indeed coming, and no avalanche of spin, no flurry of pardons, and no storm of propaganda will be enough to bury the truth this time. 

Bruce and Howard admire the man; what's left to discuss?

 "Do you remember the presidential debate when Trump stated that a Biden presidency would lead to new wars, wide open borders, and an economic crisis?

What Bruce Springsteen Has Said About Joe Biden - Newsweek, Sep 21, 2020: 

"Though his disdain for Donald Trump is well-known, Springsteen has revealed he supports Joe Biden and believes his election will help repair America's global reputation.

"Speaking about this year's RNC, Springsteen said it was "just seeded with constant lies and total distortion of the American idea."

"The 70-year-old told Rolling Stone: "It's heartbreaking and terrible. The first thing is to get the Trump administration out of office and start again."

"The "Born to Run" singer is advocating for "some pretty serious systemic changes moving leftward" and cited Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren as leading left politicians in the U.S.

" 'I like Bernie Sanders a lot," he said. "I don't know if he was my main choice, my first choice. I like Elizabeth Warren, I like Bernie."

. . . As for the current Democratic nominee Joe Biden, Springsteen approves and believes his presidency will resurrect the "power of the American idea."

" 'The power of the American idea has been abandoned," he said. "It's a terrible shame, and we need somebody who can bring that to life again.... I think if we get Joe Biden, it's gonna go a long way towards helping us regain our status around the world."

"He added: "The country as the shining light of democracy has been trashed by the administration. We abandoned friends, we befriended dictators, we denied climate science."

"The musician backed Biden at this year's DNC with a a new video for his 2002 song, "The Rising." . . .

Then he gets to the subject of the George Floyd riots and Antifa, whom I suspect appears today chanting for Hamas and praise for all the Israeli families they murdered on Oct 7, 2023:

Sophie Corcoran combines her thoughts about liberals resenting British mourning for the departed Queen and American youths rioting over the death of George Floyd:

... Howard Stern lets President Biden off the hook: Letters to the Editor   "The horrible farce of the failed Biden presidency reached a staggering new low during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday (“Indecent exposure,” April 29).

"Not only did Biden demean his putative opponent; he outright insulted the press by admitting to The New York Times’ complaint that he avoids the questions of journalists.

"Yet the press corps almost universally laughed at this. That means its members do not take their profession, craft and mission seriously.

"Freedom of the press is meaningless unless journalists respect their role in our democracy."

'NO EVIDENCE': Biden mocked for stretching the truth on shock jock Howard Stern's show | Fox News  "Comment to this post:  The US has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes are mistaken for people of importance. I've needed a Doctor, a Teacher, I need Farmers everyday. I need Truck Drivers everyday. I've needed an auto mechanic, a plumber, a painter, and a lot of other skilled everyday people. I have NEVER, not once, NEEDED a Pro-Athlete, a Media Personality,an Entertainer for ANYTHING!"

Bruce Springsteen...Your Music Sucks, and So Do Your Political Opinions

Sadly I love so much of his music, except the songs that trash the United States of America, such as, to name just two, "Death To My Hometown", and "Mrs. McGrath":

" In November 2020, Springsteen was arrested for drunk driving, but that didn’t stop “Jeep” from featuring Springsteen in a Super Bowl Ad that was a stick in the eye to everyone who didn’t vote for Biden. Biden would bring a divided America together...or something."  

. . ."Bruce Springsteen said he would move to Australia if Trump won in 2020. He didn’t move because Biden won. In November 2020, Springsteen was arrested for drunk driving, but that didn’t stop “Jeep” from featuring Springsteen in a Super Bowl Ad that was a stick in the eye to everyone who didn’t vote for Biden. Biden would bring a divided America together...or something.  

"Biden, of course, did not unite – he divided us. Even more than his boss, Obama, he was the vindictive old man screaming, “Get off my lawn!” When Biden wasn’t screaming, he was doing his creepy whisper, claiming that half of America was a danger to democracy. Celebrities came out to support a clearly addled old man claiming that Biden would save “democracy” — if Trump wins again, the nation is doomed. Then, the addled old man showed America that he was an addled old man. The Shady Hills Retirement resident loaned out to the DNC showed us that he was incapable of filling out his Bingo card, so the Democrats inserted Kamala Harris into the slot. Harris had so little support four years ago that she dropped out before the California primary. She got precisely zero votes in the Democrat primaries, yet she is the nominee that Springsteen is, again, telling us will save America from the threat of Trump."....  

MSNBC host left stunned as star impeachment witness reveals why he is now backing Trump

UK Daily Mail 

"'I live in a bucolic city of Portland, Oregon, which has been destroyed by those policies. Absolutely decimated. Businesses are suffering. My own business is suffering solely for political reasons, and it's all fixable and they don't want to fix it,' Sondland complained."

"MSNBC's Ari Melber was left shocked when Gordon Sondland, a star witness during former President Donald Trump's first impeachment, said he planned to vote for the Republican nominee. 

"Sondland served as Trump's ambassador to the European Union and testified against him in 2019 when he was accused of holding up Ukraine funding in an effort to pressure President Volodymyr Zelensky into announcing investigations into Joe and Hunter Biden. 

"During a segment Wednesday night, Melber pointed to Sondland's rejection of Trump in the aftermath of the January 6 Capitol attack and asked him if he still felt that way. 

" 'No, I don't stand by it and I'll tell you why,' he said during a panel discussion alongside other ex-Trump officials including Peter Navarro and Sarah Matthews. 

" 'I've now lived four years under the Biden-Harris policies and I have to say that those policies are not only becoming an existential threat to our country's way of life, but to our allies as well,' Sondland argued. " . . .

But hey; Bruce Springsteen will never fail Kamala! He's an Obama man through and through.

Democrat apparatchiks try to gaslight voters about Biden -

 

Andrea Widburg  "Since Biden put out a carefully curated video saying he’s going to run again, Democrat operatives have been doing the media rounds trying to gaslight the public into believing that Biden is a resilient, brilliant, energetic, hard-driving leader. They know that true believers and those vulnerable to propaganda, or those cowed into pretending they believe it, make it possible to justify an election outcome even more improbable than that in 2020.

"The movie Gaslight, which debuted 79 years ago, added a new verb to the American vocabulary: “To gaslight.” In the movie, which is set in Victorian London, Gregory Anton (Charles Boyer) tries to convince his wife, Paula Alquist (Ingrid Bergman), that she is crazy so that he can institutionalize her and gain control over her home and fortune. He does this by hiding things and denying events, leaving Paula doubting her grasp on reality. Thus, to gaslight someone doesn’t mean simply lying to them; it means manipulating facts to make the other person doubt reality.

"There’s lots of gaslighting going on in America. The most obvious example, of course, is that we’re being told there is no such thing as biological sex. The facts belie that, but even our children are being told to deny the evidence of their own eyes.". . .

Newt Gingrich warns GOP that Michelle Obama may run for president to avoid ‘kamikaze’ Biden re-election effort - American Thinker

. . ."But getting rid of an incumbent president is difficult, and replacing a black and female running mate is difficult, to say the east. Even worse, the only serious challenger within the party, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., is unacceptably hostile to the pharma and corporate interests that supply the endless money that buys victory for the Democrats.

"The need a deus ex machina: an outside actor with the kind of force that changes everything; and Newt Gingrich thinks they may have one in Michelle Obama. Despite her well-known aversion to politics, her recent tour with Bruce Springsteen and Steven Spielberg, appearing before thousands onstage playing a tambourine, has convinced Newt that she may be stepping up to save the party and its totalitarian goals for the next presidential cycle.

Biden’s Susceptibility to Blackmail has Unleashed Domestic and International Chaos

Tellingly, Xi Jinping smugly watches Biden grovel before him, ignores his requests for talks and meetings and not so subtly reminds Biden that he has the dirt on him and will expose it if necessary.

Here's a good spot for the Springsteen endorsement. Naaa. 

 Steve McCann; American Thinker  "It has often been speculated what would happen to this nation if a decadently compromised president who willingly succumbed to extortion from both domestic and foreign interests were elected.  That possibility is no longer in the realm of speculation.  For the past 27 months the United States has experienced this devastating eventuality, as no president in this nation’s history has been as susceptible to domestic and international blackmail as Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. 

"Nonetheless, in their unbridled hubris, the Democrats' puppet masters turned to Joe Biden whom they could portray as a “moderate” in order to defeat Donald Trump.

"While Trump was in office this same cabal vociferously proclaimed that “A president openly susceptible to blackmail cannot serve.”   In a stunning example of hypocrisy, they chose the most susceptible president in American history.  However, they failed to understand that the Communist Chinese and Marxist penchant for using political blackmail to achieve their objectives would determine the fate of the country during his presidency. 

"The hubris of the American ruling class and venality on the part of Joe Biden has placed the United States in the position of being humiliated and extorted by the Chinese Communists, who have bribed his son, family and ultimately him.". . .

Hemingway: Biden Was Never The Brightest Bulb In The Chandelier. What does Springsteen think?

 The Federalist

“President Biden was never the brightest bulb in the chandelier throughout his 50 years of public service,” said Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway during an interview on Fox Business. “People are concerned about him. He is the first octogenarian in office. The problem for the Democrats is they don’t necessarily have a great bench of people. It would be difficult to move away from a sitting president. I’m sure we are going to hear a lot more, but they have a difficult path ahead.”. . .

Joe Biden is unfit to be president. Why didn't anyone stop him?   . . . "President Biden is a man of mediocre intellect who, over almost five decades in national public office, accomplished little to nothing, other than his election to federal offices and becoming rich off the federal teat and various side hustles.  He is a thin-skinned, chip-on-the-shoulder, macho swaggerer who, in a Tucker Carlson phrase, "kisses up and spits down."  He is a prevaricator, plagiarist, teller-of-tall-tales narcissist who has no respect for the truth, only narratives that advance his interests or portray him favorably.  If not a racist, he still sees only through the lens of race and panders, prejudges, or pounces accordingly.  Finally, when it comes to young children and women, he just cannot, as my mother used to put it, keep his hands to himself; he may be guilty of much, much worse.". . .  

Comment to this post: Morry Rotenberg:

And we are here because we do not have a free press but rather one controlled by the evil party and the oligarchs of social media aided and abetted by an ignorant electorate.

Resign, Joe; He’s in the running to be our worst president ever.

Russia ridicules Biden's trans and non-binary appointees | Just The News  "Russia is ridiculing transgender Assistant Health Secretary Rachel Levine and non-binary Deputy Assistant Nuclear Energy Secretary Sam Brinton, after a photo of the queer duo at the French ambassador's home went viral last week.

 Resign, Joe - The American Spectator   . . .These are not mere frivolous “gaffes,” the sort of thing one can laugh off. These are horrific misstatements with harrowing diplomatic and geopolitical implications, at best, and indications of a palpable senility, at worst. There is something very, very clearly wrong with the president of the United States. Even the New York Times, which for former Biden boss Barack Obama functioned as Democratic Party Pravda, ran a recent piece entitled, “At 79, Biden Is Testing the Boundaries of Age and the Presidency.” A mere three days later, Michelle Goldberg, a reliably progressive columnist for the Gray Lady, entitled her own column “Joe Biden Is Too Old to Be President Again.” (READ MORE: No, No, No. Down With the Biden Ship You Go.) The fix is clearly in."

Bruce Springsteen, Obama's soulmate holds Joe in high regard.

Biden's 'woke' agenda has made him a lame duck president: Sen. Kennedy

Joe is in good with Chairman XI and Bruce the Boss (Obama's soulmate)

Don Surber    The outlier Civiqs Poll showed Biden's approval is down to 29%. That is the danger zone below 30% where Truman decided against a second term and Nixon resigned.

"I say outlier because neither 538 nor Real Clear Politics include the poll in their averages. Both show him under 40.

Reuters has him at 39% approval with only 69% approval among Democrats.  

"I say only because at this point in Trump's presidency, Reuters had him at 39% approval with 83% approval among Republicans.

"Biden is losing his own party. A year ago he was at 85% approval among Democrats. Now it is at 69%. What happens when that falls below 50%?

"Biden is in a terrible place politically. Republicans disapprove because of what he has done. Democrats disapprove because of what he has not done.

"But his fate is really in the hands of Chairman Xi. As long as he delivers for Red China, Biden will remain in power.". . .
