ACTRESS LOSES THE PLOT: John Nolte: Jane Fonda’s Rant Against Extending Human Lifespans Is a Bizarre Jumble of Slogans.
Jane Fonda is 88 years old, and her recent rant against the “global elite” looking to extend the human lifespan was so disjointed and bizarre, maybe it’s time for a wellness check. Sure, she’s always been wrong about everything, but she’s also been pretty articulate.
Let’s look at her answer to a question about “longevity” on Thursday while she was honored at something called the DVF Awards.
Fonda was asked, “Within the global elites, longevity seems to be all the rage. What are your thoughts on that?”Here’s her full answer with my editorial interruptions…

The big problem is — and this has never happened in the history of humankind — if this was happening at any other time, you could say: “We’re going to win in the end.” But because of the climate crisis, we don’t have that much time. You know, there’s a point where if it gets too hot, then there’s no going back.
Okay, Grandma.
It’s like she memorized five talking points: oligarchs, billionaires, robots, trad wives, and global warming, only to get them all jammed up in her head. Then she just vomited them out in a shower of incoherence.
Most baffling is her opposition to longevity. Jane Fonda is a role model for longevity, no? She’s kept herself in marvelous shape, and now she’s 88 and still going strong.
What we have here is more proof that there is no intellect or logic on the left anymore, just the thoughtless, knee-jerk spewing of emotions.
“But because of the climate crisis, we don’t have that much time.” And that clock is ticking — in January of 2020, she babbled to Stephen Colbert that “the scientists were saying we have 10 years before it’s going to go so far over the cliff that there’s no turning back. The environment and climate will unravel, and there’s nothing we can do.” Wow, if only there wasn’t a massive campaign against nuclear power in the late ’70s and ’80s. Who was its spokeswoman?
Incidentally, later that year she called Covid “God’s gift to the left.” Maybe she really does have a grudge against longevity.
