Hillary Clinton Campaign Logo Has A Subliminal Message

1 Comment

imageSAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Now it can be told — now that Hillary Clinton is all but assured of the Democratic presidential nomination.

For months since the former secretary of state launched her presidential bid, her campaign logo has always symbolized America’s quest to move forward, with the arrow in the logo pointing to the right.  Left-handed people, of course, dispute that symbolism because for them, moving forward  should be pointing to the left.

But there is another school of thought about Hillary’s logo.  Many believe that the arrow pointing right actually symbolizes moving to the (conservative) right as opposed to the (liberal) left.

The logo was a brilliant concept designed to help the Democrats win over Republican voters in the general elections — voters who will definitely choose a rightist  over  a leftist candidate.

The GOP’s presumptive nominee, Donald Trump, is perceived  by many as more leftist than rightist, which would give Clinton the edge among conservative voters.

Who knew the placement or direction of an arrow could spell victory or defeat for an American presidential candidate?

Donald Trump Is Booed At Miss U.S.A. Pageant

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – It would never have happened if Donald Trump still owned the Miss U.S.A. Pageant — being booed by thousands of members of the live audience and millions more watching the televised show in Las Vegas.

During the question-and-answer session at Sunday night’s pageant, one of the five finalists, Miss Hawaii Chelsea Keolahni Hardin, was asked which of the presumptive U.S. presidential nominees she would vote for.

As soon as Trump’s name was mentioned by the hosts, the crowd erupted into loud boos. Then, when Hillary Clinton’s name came up, there were loud cheers and applause.

Many analysts said that the jeering that met the mention of Trump could be the result of misogynistic comments by the presumptive Republican nominee at various occasions during the primaries and debates, including his comments against fellow candidate Carly Fiorina and  FOX news anchor Megyn Kelly.

The Adobo Chronicles caught up with Trump while watching the pageant at his penthouse suite at the Trump Towers in Las Vegas. He told us that the crowd was actually booing Clinton. “I love women and women love me,” he said. “There is no way anyone would boo me especially in a pageant that I created.”

Miss District of Columbia Deshauna Barber won the title.  Miss Hawaii was first runner-up.

President Aquino Finally Lets His Hair Down

HONOLULU, Hawaii (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – With just a little over three weeks before he steps down as president of the Philippines, NoyNoy Aquino is finally letting his hair down — or at least what’s left of it.

In a rare public display of his never-before-known musical talent, Aquino belted out a few songs as he karaoke’d his way into the night during a victory party for Vice President-elect Leni Robred0.

And he wasn’t on his own.  His ever-loyal fans that included defeated Liberal Party presidential candidate Mar Roxas and Budget Secretary Florencio Abad willingly obliged to be his backup singers to the delight of a sea of yellowtards.

One of the songs Aquino sang was “Let It Go” from the movie “Frozen,” a choice many believed was a final admission that the president and his yellow party are a gonner.

However, sources close to Aquino said that the president merely wanted to showcase his musical talent before incoming President Rod Duterte totally bans karaoke.  Already, Duterte has announced that when he assumes office, he will limit the hours during which karaoke sessions can be held in bars as well as in private homes.

Visibly absent during the victory party was presidential sister Kris Aquino who has been missing in action since the election of Duterte.  The showbiz personality was reportedly spotted in Honolulu scouting for an exile home for the Aquino family come July 1.
