SACRAMENTO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Realizing that their continued rivalry and rhetoric will only increase Donald Trump’s chances of being elected next president of the United States, the Democratic presidential candidates have finally agreed to settle their differences.

While agreeing to fight it out till the end, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders pledged to make the remaining campaign leading up to California’s June 7 primary as non-confrontational as possible and instead focus on attacking Trump who is the Republican Party’s presumptive presidential nominee.

A key component of the Clinton-Sanders agreement revolves around the superdelegates. Both agreed to let go of their respective superdelegates and consider them a winner-take-all prize to be decided at the Democratic National Convention.

Sources close to both campaigns confirmed that there will be a coin toss at the convention and whoever wins the toss will get all of the superdelegates.

It looks like heads and tails are headed to Philadelphia on July 25!

SEATTLE, Washington (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Pot Pies. They come in different versions: chicken, turkey, beef, vegetarian. No well-meaning diner will be without them on their menu

But soon, fans of this traditional food fare will have a new option: pot pie, as in marijuana pie

Marijuana has transcended its recreational use. It is now becoming a commodity sniffed for medical purposes, as well as consumed in pastries like brownies. It’s about time the food industry tap into this controversial weed to expand its business horizon.

To date, 24 states, including Washington, D.C. have passed legislation to legalize medical marijuana use, majority of which are for medicinal purposes. But Alaska, Washington, Oregon and Colorado have given the green light for pot’s recreational use.

Capitalizing on the growing interest in marijuana, entrepreneurs in several states where the weed is medically and recreationally legal are busy putting together their business plans to develop and market pot pies, the weed version. It is rumored that Marie Callender’s, the leading brand in pies, is spearheading this new effort.

Watch for it on the menu of a diner near you or in the freezer section of your favorite supermarket.

Speaker Paul Ryan Grows Beard In Protest Of Impending Donald Trump Nomination

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan has not kept secret his displeasure over the impending nomination of Donald Trump as the Republican Party’s candidate for president.

Despite his meeting with Trump last week which sought to unify the Republican Party, Ryan has declined to endorse the New York billionaire.

In fact, he has grown his beard yet again in protest of the Trump nomination and as a public display of his differences with the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.

“I will shave my beard after this November’s elections, and only if Trump is not elected the next president of the United States,” Ryan told reporters on Capitol Hill.

Ryan seems to have the support of both Republicans and Democrats who were in agreement that Ryan’s beard looks a lot better than Trump’s hair.
