UNDOCUMENTED MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS THANK DONALD TRUMP FOR BOOM IN THEIR BUSINESS

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Carlos Castillo is a 43-year-old undocumented immigrant from Guadalajara, Mexico who makes a living making and selling piñatas from a make-shift sidewalk stall in San Francisco’s Mission district.

A piñata is a container often made of papier-mâché, pottery, or cloth; it is decorated, and filled with small toys or candy, or both, and then broken as part of a ceremony or celebration. Celebrants are blindfolded before given the chance to break the piñata with a stick or baseball bat.

Until recently, Castillo could barely get by, making no more than $10 a day selling piñatas.

But things have completely turned around for Castillo, since Republican candidate Donald Trump launched his tirade against Mexicans, calling them rapists, criminals and drug addicts, vowing to deport undocumented immigrants and building a great wall along the southern border if he is elected president of the United States.

Castillo started making piñatas to the likeness of Trump and selling them at his stall.

To his surprise, business suddenly boomed and his Trump piñatas have practically been on back order since two weeks ago. He sells small Trump piñatas for $14 and large ones for $20. Sticks or bats cost extra.

Other piñata vendors are reporting similar experiences as Castillo’s.

Castillo told The Adobo Chronicles that he is very grateful for Trump’s anti-Mexican statements which have helped his business a whole lot. “Apparently, many of my customers can’t wait to lay their sticks on Trump,” he said.

“If ever I become a U.S. citizen, I will definitely vote for Trump,” Castillo said.

SINGER MILEY CYRUS WANTS TO SCRAP HALLOWEEN

LOS ANGELES, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Previously, we reported that Miley Cyrus has said that the biblical account of Noah’s Ark is nothing but a fairy tale. Cyrus was quoted saying, “That’s f*cking insane. We’ve outgrown that fairy tale, like we’ve outgrown f*cking Santa and the tooth fairy.”

Now, the controversial singer who recently announced that she was ‘pansexual’ wants the entire Halloween holiday scrapped.

“Halloween is the mother of all fairy tales,” she said, “giving children and adults alike false hopes that they can transform into Cinderella , Spiderman or Batman.”

“Celebrating Halloween only perpetuates more myths like Dracula and zombies. It’s getting out of control and it is not good for American society. We need to start living the truth ” Cyrus declared.

Cyrus made these comments as she was preparing to record her new Christmas album titled ” Rudolf, the Red-nosed Reindeer.” It will be released October 31. That’s Halloween night.
