Woke Whining Catapulted Dave Chappelle's Popularity

A benefit concert that will take place over the course of three nights to support those in Montana affected by the June flooding sold out quickly last 26 July.

Dave Chappelle, despite his controversial status, is scheduled to perform at one of the shows next month. The flooding ultimately led to parts of Yellowstone National Park being closed.

Singer John Mayer, who has a home in Montana, is the mastermind of the Rise for the River concert event and shared that the money raised will go to the Southwest Montana Flood Relief Fund that aims to help Park and Madison counties. Donations will be for emergency shelter, drinking water, food and clothing for those impacted by the flooding.

All three concerts — which are happening August 8, August 14 and August 21 — are completely sold out. Since October 2021, Chappelle has been a polarizing figure with his Netflix comedy special "The Closer". Some of the jokes in that special have been called out by wokers for promoting transphobia — and he continues to experience controversy.

Just a few weeks ago, a venue in Minneapolis canceled a Chappelle show mere hours before he was set to perform. It wound up being relocated to another Minneapolis venue. Chappelle later made fun of "cancel culture" and the infamous Hollywood Bowl attack where he served as a surprise opener in New York City for a performance by Kevin Hart and Chris Rock.

He was also gifted an actual goat during the show. As Hart said on Instagram last about the show: "Last night was by far the best moment of my career….I can’t even explain it…I can’t find the words…Just know that last night was the true definition of a "EPIC NIGHT" …..I love my brothers more than words can explain. What we did to the Garden will never be done again….We made history last night!!!!!!!!"

It looks like all of the backlash hasn’t slowed Chappelle down one bit.

Despite the "Me Too" Hype, Sydney Sweeney Will Not Stop Doing Nude Scenes

Popular actrtess Sydney Sweeney is not about to rest on her laurels and plans to continue enjoying the fruits of her labor. A few days after she snagged two first-time Emmy nominations for her roles in HBO’s "White Lotus" and "Euphoria", the rising star, 24, sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to reflect on her meteoric rise to the top, her dreams of being a young mother and her feelings about being a sex symbol — including the recent chatter surrounding her numerous topless scenes. While fans of the show have praised Sweeney’s performance as high schooler Cassie Howard in Euphoria, there has also been criticism from fellow cast mates about how its creator, Sam Levinson, has handled nude scenes in particular. Though Sweeney has spoken on the issue herself, explaining in the past that the scenes have actually helped her "become very confident" with her body, she elaborated further with THR, saying that she fully trusts "the filmmakers that I work with, and I’m always so excited for whatever Sam writes." She added that whenever she's working "it's as if it's someone else’s life," which helps her to focus on the story at hand rather than the fact that she’s nude in front of the cast and crew. "People forget that I'm playing a character," she said of the criticism. "They think, 'Oh, she gets naked onscreen, she’s a sex symbol.' And I can’t get past that. I have no problems with those scenes, and I won’t stop doing them, but I wish there was an easier way to have an open conversation about what we’re assuming about actors in the industry." "I’ve weirdly become very confident with my body through Cassie," she told Variety in June. "It’s a very safe environment," she added of the Euphoria set. "I’m very fortunate that I am coming up during a time where there is so much thought in this process and we now have intimacy coordinators." When explaining the logistics of how these scenes are directed, the actor explained that, while shooting, “it’s kind of like a stunt coordinator for a sex scene.” "They bring in tools and choreograph a whole thing," she explained. "Sometimes there's yoga mats that you can put in between each other or there's like pads or yoga blocks. There's some weird stuff. They come into your trailer and talk to you one-on-one and even if you have agreed to something, they ask you on the spot on the day, 'Did you change your mind? Because you can.' And then instead of you having to, if you feel uncomfortable talking to the director, they’ll be your voice for you. It’s a really cool dynamic, and they’re on set with you and they make sure that you’ve got some mint and some gum."

Simple Royal Rule: "Don't Touch Without Permission"

The social media trending recently involved a woman who got quite startled after one of Queen Elizabeth II’s guards yelled at her for touching his horse. The TikTok video posted by the entitled tourist's stepson has been viewed 4.2 million times and counting.

Opinion may appear divided, but it is obvious that majority agree that the guard was within his rights to tell the ignorant woman off.

For those unaccustomed to royalty, there’s certain protocols when interacting with the royals themselves or with the Queen’s guards. One rule should be obvious even for those who aren't royal- don't touch without permission.

The woman in the TikTok video learned this the hard way. The issue wasn’t that she wanted to take a photo with one of the Queen's guards. Plenty of tourists do that and the guards are used to it. But she took it upon herself to grab the reins and this made both the horse and the rider agitated.

The guard shouted with everything in him: "stand back from the Queen's lifeguard! Don’t touch the reins!" The woman scurried away and her stepson who posted the video described the guard as "an angry little man." He also vowed never to visit London again (good!).

While a few degenerates agreed with the stepson, most shrugged.

"It's not Disney, they are working horses and serving army," wrote one person.

"Would you grab the steering wheel if someone were driving?" asked another.

Natalie Oliveri, a reporter with 9 Honey, shed some light on the issue.

"I would speculate the woman was reprimanded so forcefully by the guard over concerns for her own safety because approaching the horse as a stranger may spook the animal," she said. "And if the horse became frightened it may have lashed out and hurt the woman and in turn, its rider. As a rule, you should never attempt to touch an animal when it is on duty – be that a horse, a police dog or assistance animal."

Dave Chappelle's Funny Response To Those Trying Hard To Cancel Him

After Minneapolis venue First Avenue canceled Dave Chappelle’s scheduled standup set following backlash to his popular trans jokes, the show was moved to the city’s Varsity Theater on July 20th. While fans waited in line at the new venue, about 50 protestors gathered in support of trans rights, and they didn’t go unnoticed by the comedian.

A reviewer for the Star Tribune noted Chappelle made jokes about "a small group of transgender lunatics" before delivering the punchline: "I can see a transgender hit squad coming from a mile away." He also reportedly joked that the protestors were hired by his wife, "determined to suck the joy out of his life."

Earlier in the show, Chappelle reportedly appeared "sympathetic" in response to First Avenue’s predicament after hearing the children of some staffers had been threatened, though he hoped the club would take a stand in the future.

First Avenue canceled Chappelle’s show just hours before he was slated to take the stage.

"To staff, artists and our community, we hear you and we are sorry," the venue wrote in a statement. "We know we must hold ourselves to the highest standards, and we know we let you down. We are not just a black box with people in it, and we understand that First Ave is not just a room, but meaningful beyond our walls. We believe in diverse voices and the freedom of artistic expression, but in honoring that, we lost sight of the impact this would have."

In his Emmy-nominated Netflix special "The Closer", Chappelle defended J.K. Rowling and other Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERFs), saying, "They look at trans women the way we Blacks might look at Blackface." He also seemed to confuse gender identity with biological sex.

It is interesting to note that the Trans activists are in favor of free speech until they become offended by someone else's words. If they don't like his stand up, then they should not go to his shows or watch his specials. Simple.

Missouri's McDo and DQ Engage in Roasting War

The two major businesses in a Missouri town are roasting one another in a brutal road sign war that has since gone viral on Facebook.

A McDonald's in Marshfield, Missouri started the battle simply asking, "Hey DQ! Do you wanna have a sign war?"

The nearby Dairy Queen accepted the challenge, writing in response, "We would but we're 2 busy making ice cream."

The McDonald's responded, "That's cute our ice cream makes it self."

So far, the back and forth between the chains is pretty mundane, but this is when it gets ... frosty.

"You mean it actually works," the Dairy Queen responded, adding, "Shocker."

This is likely referring to the long-running joke (and even a recent report from the Federal Trade Commission) that McFlurry machines are often out of order.

"Wow, salty," the McDonald's responded, adding some self-promotion with, "Like our world famous fries."
