NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington, D.C.) – Conservative columnist Ann Coutler took to her Twitter account this week to say goodbye to America. For good.

The American pundit and book author is known for her stinging opinions and criticism of liberals, Democrats, Obama, Clinton and almost anyone who counters her right-wing views.

The last straw for Coulter came during this week’s Democratic presidential debate held in Florida where moderators and the audience asked candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders questions in Spanish.

In her tweet, Coulter categorically stated, “Adios, America!”

Now, if you understand Spanish, you know he meant goodbye. She’s leaving.

The Adobo Chronicles could not independently confirm as to which country she is moving to. We can only wish her the best of luck. Buh-bye!

Marco Rubio Will Play Role Of Successful Undocumented Immigrant In Upcoming Brad Pitt Movie

HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Brad Pitt will be joining Disney Films in producing the story about an undocumented immigrant from Mexico who came to the United States at 19 and started working on farms in California, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Dr. Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa saved up a ton of money and enrolled in Harvard Medical School. He is currently the head of brain tumor surgery at the famous Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Pitt’s company, Plan B, first started a relationship with the doctor in 2007 and it is now all coming together. Matthew Lopez will be writing the script focused on the surgeon’s life.

Today, Plan B and Disney announced that soon-to-be ex-presidential candidate Marco Rubio will play the role of Quiñones-Hinojosa. Rubio, in real life, is Latino of Cuban heritage.

Pitt told The Adobo Chronicles that the shooting of the film had been put on hold pending the outcome of Rubio’s candidacy, but now that it has become certain that the senator is not going to be the Republican nominee for president, the film production goes in high gear.

It will be a welcome change in career for the handsome Rubio. His selection to play the lead role will be free of criticism in Hollywood where white actors are constantly being tapped to play the roles of people of color.

The Internet group #oscarssowhite immediately praised Rubio’s selection to play the film’s lead character.

Hillary Clinton Endorses Grace Poe, And Vice Versa

CHAPPAQUA, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – International Women’s Day was quite a day for Philippine Senator Grace Poe. On this very day, the Supreme Court ruled, by a 9-6 vote in her favor, paving the way for the foundling and former dual citizen to run for president. The high court threw out the disqualification case against her by respondents who claimed she was not a natural-born citizen and lacked the residency requirement to run for the country’s highest office.

Just hours after she learned of the court decision, Poe received an overseas call from Hillary Clinton, former U.S. First Lady, Secretary of State and now candidate for U.S. president.,

During that 3 a.m. call, Clinton informed Poe that she was endorsing her candidacy for Philippine president and that she was looking forward to meeting her in person when both of them have become presidents of their respective countries. “I would love to be your roommate during the world leader summits that we will be both attending,” Clinton told Poe.

Today, Poe returned the favor and officially declared that she was endorsing Clinton not only for the Democratic nomination but for the presidency.

Poe said she is looking forward to be in the company of many women world leaders, adding that it was about time that women were taken more seriously to be heads of state.

If elected, Clinton will be the first female U.S. president, while Poe will be the Philippines’ third, following in the footsteps of Cory Aquino and Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
