It's always something

WE are amused, this time, but watch it

Some Twitter twit has dredged up a comedian’s skit from 2016 (!) about Asian food, in particular, bull’s penis, and denounced it as racist. The comedian, of course, has grovelled.

If you’re James Corden, you — quite literally — no longer put penis on the table.

The story dates back to 2016, when The Late Late Show host welcomed Jimmy Kimmel for a round of “Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts.”

Essentially, the recurring game is Truth or Dare involving consumption of allegedly repulsive food.

Featured in the Kimmel installment:

Ghost pepper hot sauceJellyfishFish smoothieBalut (partially-developed duck embryo)Pig blood curdChicken feet1000-year-old eggBull penis (according to National Geographic, a Chinese aphrodisiac)

…

Fast forward to TikTok recently, and a girl’s displeasure with the clip.

User kimssaira posted the video, overlaid by text.

Per Kim, negatively commenting on cuisine originating from a geographic location constitutes judging someone according to their race:

“Um, this TV segment is racist AF. This is Asian food. Balut is a Filipino food. They’re calling Asian food disgusting on live TV. Huh. This is literally racist. This is so disrespectful. WTF.”

Kim went on to create a petition, signed by more than 46,000 at the time of this writing: “Remove ‘Spill Your Guts’ Segment on The Late Late Show with James Corden.”

On Change.org, she laid it out:

“During these segments, [James is] openly called these foods ‘really disgusting’ and ‘horrific.’ In the wake of the constant Asian hate crimes that have continuously been occurring, not only is this segment incredibly culturally offensive and insensitive, but it also encourages anti-Asian racism. So many Asian Americans are consistently bullied and mocked for their native foods, and this segment amplifies and encourages it.”

… “That means 650,000 people are being influenced to think that native foods from Asian countries are ‘disgusting’ or ‘horrifying.'”

Where’s the harm here? Ms. Kim is happy to tell us:

“Content like this continually perpetuates and encourages harm and racism against Asian Americans in our daily lives.”

And with mock-offense comes, naturally, demands:

Completely change the food presented on his show to something else, or remove the segment entirelyA formal apology statement from James on his show, including steps he will be taking to do better in the future. Funds donated to local Asian American organizations [of course] that are working to help Asian-owned restaurants and small businesses.

Mind you, blacks have been whuppin on Asians, particularly Koreans like Kim, for many decades. Remember the Rodney King riots of 1992, when the mob burned down Korea Town? Al Sharpton inciting his followers to burn out a Korean grocer? So to blame the current hate on a 5-year-old joke strikes me as … stretching. But never mind; that’s today’s world, and the Left wallows in it, joyfully.

But at least everyone’s favorite food joke is still acceptable, until the Chinese take over the Empire.

The Queen is appearing on the quiz show, “Name that Thing”, in which a large picture of the object in question — in this case, horse cock — is displayed on a screen behind the contestant, who is facing the audience; they can see it, she cannot. Three questions allowed.

Queen: “Is it a foodstuff?”

MC: “Possibly, Your Majesty; perhaps more of a snack food”.

Queen: “Is it bigger than a bread bin?

MC: “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Queen: “And will it fit in my mouth?”

MC: “Well, … yes, Your Majesty, I suppose it could”

Queen: “Oh! Is it horse cock?”

Somehow this reminds me cancelling merit standards for everything except black-dominated sports

Eric Adams smells “election irregularities” in NYC mayoral primary vote, and doesn’t like it

"The vote total just released by the Board of Elections is 100,000-plus more than the total announced on election night, raising serious questions," Adams said in a statement Tuesday."We have asked the Board of Elections to explain such a massive increase and other irregularities before we comment on the Ranked Choice Voting projection."

But:

No, New Yorkers haven't changed their minds, they actually want more of the same

well, they survived Peter, Paul, and Mary, and the Kingston Trio, so maybe this will work out too

Eric Adams is temporarily in the lead ahead of his commie rival, Kathyrn Garcia, but NYC’s “rank choice” election process means that everyone who voted for the commie got a second vote, which was added to Garcia’s total.

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams narrowly edged former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia to hang onto first place in the Democratic primary under the preliminary results from the Big Apple’s new instant runoff system. 

Adams hangs on with 51.1 percent of the vote, while Garcia vaults into second place with 48.9 percent of the votes after the Board of Elections tallied the second- through fifth-place choices made by New York voters during the June 22 contest. 

There is just a 15,908-vote gap between Adams and Garcia.

Maya Wiley, a civil rights attorney and former top aide to Mayor Bill de Blasio, was narrowly edged out by Garcia in the 10th round of the ranked-choice voting — and her votes overwhelmingly went to Garcia, figures show. 

However, these results are still preliminary, as they only include the votes cast during early voting and on primary day. 

There remains one big wild card in the race — the still-to-be-counted 124,000 absentee ballots that have been mailed back to BOE offices so far.

So all this hot air about Adam’s edging out Garcia signifying a shift in attitude is just that: hot air. 85% of New Yorkers eligible to vote didn’t bother to do so — I think that’s a vote for the status quo — and of the 15% who did show up at the polls, half of them want a candidate who’s even farther left (way farther, if you can imagine) than De Blasio.

Throw in those absentee ballots still awaiting “counting” by Garcia’s friends, and she’s a shoo-in.

If Trump were President we wouldn't have this problem, because colleges would be anti-vaxxers

As it is, now that it’s the “Biden Vaccine” and not Trump’s, college kids are out of luck.

For college-aged, vaccination risks likely outweigh COVID risks, says UCI medical ethics chief

And pre-college children? Well, is any price too high to make union workers feel secure?

Bad Link before, fixed. Sorry!

Could we persuade it to ban ALL its citizens from traveling outside its borders, or, at least, from permanently emigrating?

Staying put on Ellis Island

California bans state employees from traveling to five more anti-trannie states. We’re up to 17 states now free from visits from California free-loaders. Faster, please.

California officials have added Florida and four other states to a list of places where state-funded travel is banned over laws that purportedly discriminate against LGBTQ individuals.

State Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, announced Monday that Arkansas, Montana, North Dakota and West Virginia had also joined Alabama, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Texas on the no-go list, which was first created in 2016.

Why stop at just the nomenklatura, when we know that millions of ordinary Californians are carrying the disease?

Multiple bids

14 Bradbury Place, Riverside, asked $3.0 million and closed yesterday at $3.050.

That’s a good price to fetch, but the owner paid $3.4 for it when it was new in 2006.

What, us worry?

“Well, you know the thing!”

Joey B forgets how long he stayed in Europe, who he spoke to, and what he said.

During a virtual speech for the Democratic National Party [today] the president said his trip lasted 13 days, tacking on an additional five days

"I just got back, by the way, from Europe, after being there for I guess 13 days – I forget how many days," Biden said. "And I met for five days with the G-7 nations."

Ah, Joe? That was 8 days away from your basement, total, and just 3 days with your new G-7 friends. That’s okay; you’ve previously said you’ve been in office 19 months, so time is obviously becoming an elastic, and elusive concept for you — we understand.

But this is more worrying:

He said he wouldn’t go through "all the details" as it would be "too boring for you," before noting that the damage done to the U.S. by President Donald Trump on the international stage was "incredible."

Well of course Europeans, including the Tsar, love the old man; he’s not only a never-ending source of giggles, but he’s also given them everything they’ve wanted and Trump wouldn’t give them. Russian gas and German dependence on Putin’s goodwill? Done. Demands that they live up to their NATO obligations? Say no more, they’re gone.

It wouldn’t surprise Edith Wilson, and in fact, it would please her to learn that it’s Jill Biden, not Pajama Joe, who will be heading to Japan to engage in foreign diplomacy this summer, but perhaps that should concern those of us who are still alive and will suffer the consequences of an unelected wife serving as president.

A real jump in values on Winthrop, it seems

59 Winthrop Drive, Riverside, new construction priced at $5.175 million, has sold for $5.450. Winthrop’s a nice street, and this house seems very nice, but even new construction there didn’t sell for this much back in our last boom. So this sale is good news for owners of older homes on the street: builders can afford to pay more for the land.

So, what did she do that was wrong?

Some English he/she/it now claims to be Korean after plastic surgery, and has been criticized.

Is this any different than the trannie who chopped off his/her/its ears to became a snake? Hell, all across America doctors are chopping off girls’ tits and castrating boys, so what’s the big deal?

The reptile world welcomed the earless wonder with open arms, or would have if more of them had arms, and our own society has invited our new “wimmin” into girl’s showers, so why won’t Koreans be more accepting?

Can’t we all just get along?
