Greetings! In subtle ways, opposition to Trump was woven into the fabric of last night’s mostly bland Oscars.  For instance, Barbra Streisand’s tribute to the late Robert Redford, co-star in “The Way We Were,” spoke about how that iconic film was set in a time when Americans took loyalty oaths and were blacklisted for their political affiliations. She spoke of Redford’s environmental activism and his free speech advocacy.  Another example:  a gentle, yet  powerful anti-gun message from Gloria Cazares, the mother of a little girl killed in the Uvalde school massacre. She took the stage briefly after the film about the incident, “All the Empty Rooms,” won Oscar for Best Documentary Short.” “My daughter, Jackie, was nine years old when she was killed in Uvalde,” Cazares said. “Since that day, her bedroom has been frozen in time.”  The most overt political commentary came from Jimmy Kimmel who delivered this zinger: “As you know there are some countries whose leaders don’t support free speech. I’m not at liberty to say which.  Let’s just leave it at North Korea and CBS”…Worth noting: the MAGA-friendly showbiz site Hollywood in Toto gave the Oscars a big thumbs down, summing it up with this critique: “Conan O’Brien leads Trump Derangement gala at worst possible time” …Brilliant: Saturday night’s MAHAspital ranks as the best SNL skit of the season. The hilarious spoof playing off  the hit TV series “The Pitt,” imagines an ER being run by medical personnel who are RFK Jr. vax-denying disciples.  MAHAspital’s tagline? “For people who love ‘The Pitt’ but can’t stand it’s liberal phony science”….Worth noting: another SNL bit that nailed it from Saturday night was a Tucker Carlson rant (played to perfection by Jeremy  Culhane) about woke Oscar politics…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
