LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles, Las Vegas Bureau) – Practically conceding defeat in the November 8 US presidential elections, Republican candidate Donald Trump is spending the last days of the campaign having a grand time — watching international beauty pageants.

This time, he can’t barge into dressing rooms full of naked beauty contestants because he doesn’t own any of these beauty pageants.

Three of these pageants are happening back to back:  Miss Grand International was crowned in Las Vegas yesterday; Miss International will be proclaimed in Tokyo today; and Miss Earth holds its coronation night in Manila in two days.

“I love women, and women love me, unbelievable,” Trump was heard saying has he sipped on a glass of chardonnay at his Penthouse Suite at the Las Vegas Trump Tower.

Meanwhile, presumptive president-elect Hillary Clinton is spending the last few days of the campaign in battleground states which are fast becoming blue.

SILICON VALLEY, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Jose Bureau) – Unfriending or unfollowing someone on Facebook just became a whole lot easier, thanks to Apple’s newly-unveiled keyboard.

The new keyboard which will become standard with all Apple computers and laptops going forward, has an ‘Unfriend’ key colored red. It’s also three times the size of the rest of the keys. It’ll be hard to miss.

The new keyboard is not yet available as a built-in feature for iPhones and iPads but is expected to be one of the new features for the next generation of these mobile devices.

So the next time a Facebook friend or follower pisses you off, press the red button and that friend or follower is history. Instantly!

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles, Las Vegas Bureau) – Despite all the talk about Donald Trump barging into dressing rooms full of naked beauty pageant contestants, not all aspiring beauty queens are against him. Like Miss Philippines and Miss USA.

The top five candidates at the Miss Grand International 2016 were dealt a polarizing question for the final portion of the pageant in Las Vegas, Tuesday night (Wednesday in Manila).

Each beauty queen was tasked to choose between US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton for help in stopping war and violence, which is the main thrust of Miss Grand International.

Miss USA drew loud boos from the crowds for picking Trump and similarly, the Philippines’ bet Nicole Cordoves was also loudly heckled.

Puerto Rico, Thailand, and Indonesia chose Clinton and gave her high praise for advancing women’s rights.

Miss Indonesia Ariska Putri Pertiw won the crown while Trump girl Miss Philippines was first runner-up, a forboding of the results of the presidential elections in two weeks.

The only difference? The margin that separated the new Miss Grand International and the first runner-up was almost too close to call.

Unlike the elections where Clinton is expected to win by a landslide.
