GAYDAR? THERE’S AN APP FOR THAT!

Leave a comment

SILICON VALLEY, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – How would you know if you’re in a gay-friendly neighborhood? How can you tell if someone you just met at a party is gay or straight? Don’t you wish there was a way for you to get an alert when a hot-looking, shirtless guy is jogging along a sidewalk within blocks of where you’re driving?

Well, wonder no more.

Apple has announced that it will be releasing a new smart phone app that will do all that, plus much more. It’s calling it the Gayzapp and it works not just on Apple devices but also on Androids.

The new app will be rolled out beginning August 30 which happens to be Silicon Valley Pride Day to be marked by a parade and festival. Festival headliner is openly-gay country singer and recording artist Steve Grand (no need for an app for that).

The app will be available for free to all who attend the festival in San Jose. Thereafter, the app can be downloaded from the App Store for $6.90.

SALES OF SAN MIGUEL BEER ON THE RISE, THANKS TO PHILIPPINE SENATOR GRACE POE

2ac1b0007c47d872b3298cf2c02e2926MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – She has not yet declared her candidacy for president of the Philippines, but already, Senator Grace Poe is on the receiving end of bad rap from her nervous political opponents.

In recent months, Poe has consistently ranked number one in the polls on candidates and potential candidates for the 2016 presidential elections, displacing Vice President Jejomar Binay from the top spot.  Only  Binay and Interior and Local Governments Secretary Mar Roxas have officially declared their candidacy so far.

Poe’s enemies have accused her of being a batterer, drug addict and alcoholic, all of which the daughter of the late movie actor and former presidential candidate Fernando Poe, Jr.  categorically denied.

In speaking with reporters yesterday, Poe said that she does drink white wine or San Miguel beer at parties and receptions, but that doesn’t make her an alcoholic.sanmig

Since Poe clarified the allegations of alcoholism, the sales of San Miguel beer, the Philippines’ premier bottled brew, has tripled. No other celebrity endorsement of the beer has ever resulted in increased demand and sales.

We could not reach Poe to clarify whether her drink of choice was regular San Miguel beer (Pale Pilsen) or San Mig Light.

ELECTIONGATE: DONALD TRUMP’S PRESIDENTIAL BID IS A DEMOCRATIC PARTY PLOY

Leave a comment

imageWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – It is a scandal worse than Watergate or Irangate. It’s called Electiongate. (And these scandals always happen in Washington, D.C., go figure!).

Today, The Washington Post  confirmed that former President Bill Clinton had a meeting with Donald Trump just before the real estate mogul announced his bid to become the next president of the United States.

In that meeting, Clinton reportedly encouraged Trump to assume a bigger role in the Republican Party.  And he did, by announcing his quest to be the GOP’s nominee for president in the 2016 elections.

The rest is history, with Trump now leading in the polls and maintaining his solid frontrunner status going into Thursday’s Republican presidential debate on FOX News.

But political analysts always knew that Trump, a former Democrat, had a special bond with the Clintons.  He had, in fact, made huge contributions to the Clinton campaigns and to Bill and Hillary’s global foundation.

So, with the Post‘s exposé, it can now be told that Trump’s candidacy is actually a Democratic Party ploy to ensure that Hillary Clinton will become the next president of the United States. Both Trump and the Clintons know that the former can never be elected president and that if he, indeed, becomes the GOP nominee, Hillary is assured of winning all the electoral votes in the 50 states.

And that, exactly, is the plan all along.  This thing called Electiongate.

Now we know why Trump has been making all sorts of stupid, racist and ridiculous comments in the campaign trail.

It remains to be seen whether ‘Electiongate’ will be brought up by the FOX News moderators in Thursday’s debate.
