SCOTT WALKER PROPOSES U.S.-CANADA BORDER; RICK SANTORUM WANTS SEA WALL AROUND ALASKA AND HAWAII

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles®) – Political analysts and pundits are now calling them the “Border Republicans.” Donald Trump, Scott Walker and Rick Santorum — Republican presidential candidates all — are hugging the limelight where it shines most: illegal immigration.

Everyone is getting tired of Trump’s “great wall” along the U.S. southern border with Mexico.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker just found a new hot button issue  to help beef up his campaign: build a U.S. northern border.

In an interview for NBC’s “Meet the Press”, Walker said his tough talk to securing the borders and enforcing U.S. laws extends to the 5,525-mile Canadian border as well.

It’s a shift from most campaign-trail rhetoric, which has focused on the  border with Mexico, where millions undocumented immigrants have entered the country.

Not wanting to be left behind, former Senator Rick Santorum came up with his own border policy idea.  He wants a sea wall built around all islands in the state of Hawaii to deter undocumented immigrants from Asia and the Pacific from entering the U.S.  He is also proposing a similar sea wall between Alaska and Russia.  (Many will recall that while campaigning for vice president, former Governor Sarah Palin said that she can see Russia from her backyard.)

The Republicans may finally see a tighter competition among its presidential candidates.

Will Trump’s commanding lead in the polls finally drop?

Will other candidates join the bandwagon and align themselves with the border Republicans?

‘INDECENT’ ATTIRE NOW BANNED ON U.S. TELEVISION AND THE RED CARPET

HOLLYWOOD, California  (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – The movers and skakers of the American television industry have just had it with indecent exposure on live TV and on the red carpet at awards shows.

In a rare move by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the National Cable Television Association (NCTA) with the full support of all major U.S. television networks, a memorandum of agreement has been signed that will ban all indecent exposure by actors, singers and entertainers on live TV and at all red carpet ceremonies in awards shows.

The move came soon after pop singer Miley Cyrus appeared on the red carpet at last night’s MTV Video Musis Awards, wearing a top that barely covers her upper torso.

“It is time that we take back the decency and family-oriented nature of television and ban entertainers from exposing themselves before viewers, among them children and teens,” the agreement stated. “We will also blacklist any entertainer who claims ‘wardrobe malfunction’ during live performances.

The initial list of those banned from future live TV appearances included Cyrus, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian and Janet Jackson.

MPAA is an American trade association that represents the six major Hollywood studios.

NCTA is the major trade organization for the American cable television industry.

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles® ) –   ‘And yes, as you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president.’ With these words  rapper Kanye West officially declared his candidacy to be the next leader of the free world.

West made the surprise announcement on live TV during last night’s MTV Video Music Awards where he received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

The segment started with a bang when West was handed his Moonman by an unexpected contemporary: reigning pop queen / one-time Kanye “victim” Taylor Swift. After a narrated montage containing clips from every part of West’s career, Swift came up on stage and talked about her West fandom and his influence on her career. She wrapped her speech by quoting West’s infamous 2009 VMA interruption — you know, the one where he rushed the stage and grabbed the mic from Swift to defend Beyoncé’s work — to proclaim that he’s had “one of the greatest careers of all time.”

Speaking to reporters after the telecast, West said, ‘If an idiot like Donald Trump can run for president, why can’t I ?’  He then thanked Barack Obama for showing the world that black men can be president in the U.S.

Kim Kardashian, who was standing beside West during the interview with reporters, was asked how she feels about being First Lady.  She responded with a Sarah Palin-style wink at the reporter who asked the question.

Here’s the full video of West’s acceptance speech at the Video Musis Awards.
