WASHINGTON, D.C.  (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Critics and political opponents of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton found what they were hoping for in the State Department’s newly-released personal emails from the former Secretary of State: something really fishy.

The newest trove of more than 7,000 of Clinton’s emails were released Monday night, showcasing more of the mundane political notes and scheduling requests that have been released earlier.

The emails show Clinton was a little obsessed with criticism from Fox News and was eager to check out NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” and CBS’ “The Good Wife.”  In addition, a series of emails surfaced that could all but damage Clinton’s candidacy for president. It’s all about Gefilte fish.

Gefilte fish is a Jewish dish made from a poached mixture of ground boned fish which is typically eaten as an appetizer. The dish is popular on Shabbat and Holidays such as Passover, although they may be consumed throughout the year. Some versions of Gefilte fish are baked in a Bundt cake pan and made with Matzo meal and carrots. The dish usually uses white fish, but it could be made with other fish like salmon.

Now, whoever is anointed Republican nominee for president in the 2016 elections will have enough amunition to wage a  strong campaign against the presumed Democratic nominee, Hillary. Thanks to the fishy emails.

TRUMP: ‘WE CAN’T AFFORD TO HAVE TWO BLACK PRESIDENTS IN A ROW’

DES MOINES, Iowa (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Nothing will stop Donald Trump’s desperate quest to become the next president of the United States — not Hillary Clinton, not the Mexicans, not the Chinese, not Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, not Jorge Ramos, not CNN. Not even fellow Republican candidate Ben Carson.

Latest numbers coming out of Iowa now show the real estate mogul losing ground, with Carson coming within five percentage points to Trump’s lead (18% to 25%) in one poll and in a statistical dead heat (23% to 23%) in another.

So, as expected, Trump turned his rhetoric on Carson.

“If we truly want this nation to be great again, we cannot afford to have two black presidents in a row, referring to Barack Obama and Carson. “image

The Adobo Chronicles®  caught up with Carson in Des Moines and sought his reaction to Trump’s statement.

Carson simply smiled and said, “I am a neurosurgeon and it doesn’t take much for me to recognize and diagnose a nut case!”

Case closed.

MISS PHILIPPINES PIA WURTZBACH’S NATIONAL COSTUME FOR MISS UNIVERSE: THUMBS UP OR THUMBS DOWN?

MANILA, PHILIPPINES (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – After last year’s much-maligned national costume for Miss Philippines-Universe MJ Lastimosa, Binibining Pilipinas Charities is not taking any chances this time around.

Lastimosa’s national costume during the 2015 Miss Universe Pageant held in Doral, Florida  was likened to a giant meringue wedding cake.  It was designed by Colombian Alfredo Barraza.

When reigning Miss Philippines-Universe Pia Wurtzbach takes to the stage for the next Miss Universe pageant, there will be no wedding cake and no Colombian designer — just an ethnically and multiculturally-inspired gown by one of the Philippines’ top fashion designers.

The design, unveiled today at the offices of the Binibining Pilipinas Charities, combines the elegance of a body-hugging beige gown with traditional butterfly terno sleeves, elements of the Singkil princess via a crown-like headdress, the intricate embroidery of the barong tagalog and the skillful weave of the banig (straw mat).  And yes, there are still some remnants of the flowers that adorned Lastimosa’s gown.

All in all, the elite fashionistas are calling the design a melting pot of Philippine culture, which will put Wurtzbach in strong competition with some of the best national costumes at the Miss Universe pageant.

What do our readers think of the  design?  Thumbs up or thumbs down? Vote below.
