Conservative Author Ann Coulter Receives Boxes And Boxes Of Rotten Mandarin Oranges

imageNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – During a live television discussion on undocumented immigrants, conservative author Ann Coulter referred to Asian Americans as “Mandarin.”

Her fellow panelist on the Chris Matthews show corrected her and said they are called “Asian Americans,” but Coulter insisted it was the correct term and refused to be policed for her language.

Well, Coulter learned a lesson she will never forget.

When she returned to her home after the TV interview, she found boxes and boxes of rotten Mandarin oranges waiting for her at her doorstep, and more boxes are reportedly on the way.

She told The Adobo Chronicles, “I’m sure these oranges were sent in by Asian Americans upset by what I said on TV.”

See? Even old dogs can learn new tricks. “Asian Americans,” Ann, “Asian Americans.”

Donald Trump Tries To Win Back Hispanic Vote, Eats A Bowl Of Tacos

image.jpegNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Just a day after both his remaining rivals for the Republican presidential nomination quit the race, Donald Trump wasted no time in trying to win back the Hispanic vote — a crucial voting bloc that would greatly matter in the general elections.

Many will recall that when Trump launched his presidential bid, he promised to build a great wall along the U.S. southern border with Mexico.  In his campaign launch speech, he also called Mexicans “rapists” and “criminals.”

But realizing he can’t win in the general elections without the Hispanic vote, Trump spent his lunch time on Cinco de Mayo eating a bowl of tacos.  In a post on his social media account, he said that he “loves Hispanics.”

Sources close to Trump, however, and who spoke on condition of anonimity, said that immediately after the photo opp, Trump ordered a Mexican server at the penthouse suite of his Trump Towers in New York to remove the bowl of tacos and replace it with a half-pound New York steak, complete with garlic and butter mashed potatoes and steamed asparagus.

The Adobo Chronicles confirmed that Trump’s steak was medium-rare.

‘Nina,’ Starring Zoe Saldana: The First Contender For The 2017 Oscars

imageHOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Now that the 2016 Oscars have been handed out, it’s time for film makers and moviegoers to look to next year’s contenders. Critics are already saying that ‘Nina,’ a biopic about the legendary troubled singer Nina Simone, is leading the pack.

The new film stars actress Zoe Saldana and David Oyelowo (‘Selma,’ ‘The Brave One’).

Saldana, a Latina, brings to life the blues legend who was a major figure during the civil rights movement.

There was one problem when Saldana was cast. She wasn’t  black enough. But make-up artists worked hard to make her light skin several shades darker. They even gave her a prosthetic nose.

And so, the rest is history. ‘Nina’ is all but assured of a nomination, perhaps even an  Oscar statuette for ‘Best Make-up’ come the 2017 Academy Awards.

Is this the beginning of the end of #oscarssowhite?

“Nina,”  hits theaters and VOD on April 22.
