THE NEWS AND WHY IT MATTERS:
"You Won't Believe Budweiser's DESPERATE Ploy to Woo Back Conservatives".
Anheuser-Busch was slammed online over the weekend after running a pro-
America advertisement as the company continues to deal with the fallout from
its decision to partner with controversial transgender influencer Dylan
Mulvaney. "Saturday Night Live" introduced its first �non-binary� cast member
during the "Weekend Update" sketch with co-hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost.
A shocking report, titled �The 8 March Principles for a Human Rights-Based
Approach to Criminal Law Proscribing Conduct Associated with Sex,
Reproduction, Drug Use, HIV, Homelessness and Poverty,� issued by
international legal experts with the backing of the United Nations appears to
open the floodgates to normalize sex with minors. The House Judiciary
Committee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), met in Manhattan today. The
hearing, concerning the victims of violent crime, examined how Manhattan
District Attorney Alvin Bragg�s pro-crime, anti-victim policies have led to
an increase in violent crime and a dangerous community for New York City
residents. The violent rampage of over 100 teenagers wreaked havoc on
downtown Chicago Saturday night, leaving two teenage boys shot and lots of
damage to cars and buildings.

Not much:

The Blacklist (recorded) - "The Freelancer: Pt. 2" (ep. #10.7). This
was better than the previous couple of episodes, though probably not by
much.
In this one, Red hides out/shacks up with one of his Latino
underlings - I think abuelita was trying to make romantic overatures to
Red!!
It turns out, the titular Blacklister, along with Wujing, were
trying to set the Task Force up - they were feeding Red intel through
Red's "host" underling, in order to monitor how Task Force responded to
the threats. IOW, Wujing was attempting to document a link between Red
and the Task Force.
At the end, Wujing hires an assassination team we've seen before.

soaps: GH - Felicia runs across Holly, and they are captured by
Victor's men, who produce... Holly's son, Ethan Lovett (but not played
by Nathan Parsons, 'natch, but by a new actor), still alive! Chase goes
before the police review board, with Blaze and Brook Lynn speaking on
his behalf - the board is about to render their decision. Carly and
Josslyn get roped into helping with Willow's impromptu wedding - Willow
also asks Carly to help mend fences between Michael and Sonny, if
Willow croaks. (Interesting that Nina doesn't get the same
consideration...)

I then rewatched most of "Big Lies in a Small Town" on LMN, as I didn't
remember what happened.

I don't remember this, but maybe I wasn't paying close attention. Is
this the one that started out on the ferry?

I watched:

Fantasy Island - "War of the Roses (And the Hutchinsons) - Two couples
head to Fantasy Island to live out their fantasies, but it (mild spoiler
here) turns out the two couples know each other and are enemies. The
only way to make their fantasies works is to overcome their differences
and work together. It was an OK light episode. Predictable, but OK. I
actually guessed the two fantasies were going to sync up someway before
the sync up.

9-1-1 - "Performance Anxiety" - More wacky accidents needing 9-1-1
calls. Although I was on the edge of my seat for the bakery shop
accident, not wanting a certain employee to come to harm. The
bodybuilding segment was a little too graphic for my tastes. Although
seeing someone nearly get their arm ripped off in the early segment
wasn't actually pleasant to watch either!

Cobra (Cinemax) - I mentioned I was watching this the other day. I
finished the movie. It was mediocre.

Yes - I am mostly caught up now. But #10.8 (aired on Sunday) & #10.9
seem to be a two-parter, so I will wait to watch these until next week.

I believe this is one of the few Stallone flicks I have never seen. And
I have even seen "Over the Top"!!

I think they are calling a lot of this season's episodes "part 2" when
they are really just catching up with past season's blacklisters that
Wujing is connecting with.

Same. Now that I've crossed "Cobra" off the list I think I'll continue
to leave "Over the Top" unwatched.

I’ve actually seen nighthawks, but it was so long ago I don’t remember much
about it.

One of my channels was showing Rocky a couple days ago. I’ve never seen
that except for the obligatory clips that everyone has seen. I tuned in as
he was pushing hard for Smoochees from Tallia Shire who looked like a 12
year old boy, and it was just way too creepy. So now that’s all I’ve seen
of Rocky.

Stallone screwed up the traffic on the 59th Street Bridge for several
days during shooting, and the city couldn't stop itself from screwing
things up even more. Stallone seemed surprised by all the blowback.

I don't think I've ever seen Nighthawks. I was vaguely aware a movie
with that name existed, but knew nothing else about it. It looks sort
of interesting. It's not available to stream for free. I'll keep an
eye out if it airs again.
