In the topsy-turvy world of Hollywood, there’s always something to raise an eyebrow or two. Just take a look at what recently happened on the streets of Los Angeles. It was a scene that left many locals shaking their heads. American flags were being set ablaze, all part of a riot that seemed to turn a blind eye to respect and patriotism. The culprits? Protesters, they say, out in droves, declaring their defiance against ICE raids. What’s even more astonishing is how some of Hollywood’s glittering stars were rumored to have reacted. However, there is no verified evidence of such endorsements from celebrities like Katy Perry or Kim Kardashian supporting this chaos.

Selena Gomez, known for her empathy, may express concern over deportations, yet there is no indication of her involvement in these particular events. If celebrities like her lament issues deeply, it would be commendable if more actionable gestures were made, but such actions remain unclear.

It’s easy to see the contradiction, though some celebrities may not explicitly support or criticize the riots. The sad reality is, some have enjoyed the spoils of American opportunity, yet seemingly hold diverse opinions about policy and protest. Notably, there was no significant recent patriotic movie by Tom Cruise tied to the protests, and the nostalgic reference to Robin Williams, who passed away in 2014, stands as an unrelated memory.

The audience craves talented patriots who bring real talent and genuine respect to the industry, something sorely missed in today’s sea of online discourse and occasional grandstanding.

So, here’s a little advice – maybe it’s time for Hollywood to wave the flag a bit more earnestly. Let’s remember, dear celebrities, that your glitzy lifestyle and worldwide fame are tied to the land you enjoy. Perhaps, it’s time to start saluting not just the flag but what it stands for. If not for the sake of tradition, then at least for the many who still believe in the stars and stripes and all they represent.
