TELEVANGELIST PAT ROBERTSON: “IT’S UP TO GOD TO KILL LIBERAL SUPREME COURT JUSTICES”

Leave a comment

Robertson

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Televangelist Pat Robertson has questioned why God has allowed pro-choice U.S. Supreme Court justices to live long lives, but admits it’s really up to the Almighty to decide who goes and who stays.

Robertson was responding to a viewer question on “The 700 Club” on why justices who voted to legalize abortion, or continue to support it, are still around.

Apparently, the aging Robertson misunderstood the question. The viewer meant to ask why God has allowed the justices to remain on the court, not to remain on this earth.

U.S. Supreme Court justices are appointed for life. But they have the option to retire and not wait for their demise.

NEW POLL SHOWS DONALD TRUMP LEADING AT 40%, THANKS TO HIS HUNTER SONS AND CECIL THE LION

imageWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – No publicity is bad publicity.

A new  Adobo Chronicles® poll shows Donald Trump leading all  Republican candidates for president by 40%, up from 20% the previous week.

Trump’s surge has been attributed to the killing of Cecil, the Zimbabwe lion by an American dentist, an incident that has outraged Americans and elicited worldwide condemnation of the sport of hunting. But what has Cecil got to do with Trump?

This week, gory photos of his trophy-hunting sons Eric and Don, Jr.  resurfaced online, tying his family to the very practice that has sparked fierce backlash in recent days.image

When asked for his response at a press conference in Scotland this week, Trump was reportedly far from condemning of the fact that his sons had a hobby of killing innocent animals, too.
“My sons love to hunt,” The Telegraph and The Daily Mail report Trump said, though he reportedly refused to directly address shooting endangered animals. “They are members of the NRA (National Rifle Association)  very proudly. I am a big believer in the Second Amendment. But my sons are hunters, Eric is a hunter and I would say he puts it on a par with golf, if not ahead of golf. My other son, Don, is a hunter. They’re great marksman, great shots, they love it.”

An analysis of the new poll results shows that the respondents that gave Trump a overhwelming lead were card-carrying members of the NRA and American millionnaires whose families participate in killing animals for sports.

AS FIRST LADY, KORINA SANCHEZ WILL ASK TO BAR ANDERSON COOPER FROM ENTERING THE PHILIPPINES

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Korina Sanchez, broadcast  journalist and wife of Interior and Local Governments Secretary Mar Roxas, is one step closer to becoming the First Lady of the Philippines. This, after President NoyNoy Aquino officially endorsed her husband as his choice for the next president.

Many will recall that during the height of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) in 2013, Sanchez criticized CNN’s Anderson Cooper for his reporting on the government’s slow response to relief operations.  Sanchez said Cooper didn’t know what he was talking about. Cooper then challenged Sanchez to leave her airconditioned radio studio in Manila and travel to Tacloban to personally see what was happening at ground zero.

Apparently, Sanchez has not recovered from the embarrassment Cooper had caused her.

Speaking to reporters after her husband was proclaimed the presidential standard bearer for Aquino’s Liberal Party, Sanchez said that her first official act as Philippine First Lady would be to ask her husband to issue an executive order banning Cooper from entering the Philippines — as a CNN anchor or as a private tourist.

Sanchez said the executive order would designate Cooper as a “persona non grata” which is one of the grounds for denying a Philippine entry visa to any foreigner.

CNN  nor Cooper could not be reached for comment.
