Hawaii Declares Donald Trump “Persona Non Grata”

HONOLULU, Hawaii (The Adobo Chronicles, Honolulu Bureau) – The State of Hawaii has filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration, seeking to block the president’s executive order that suspends refugee resettlements and temporarily bars citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States.

The lawsuit, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Honolulu, comes one week after President Donald Trump issued the travel ban, which sparked nationwide protests, after scores of people were detained at airports across the country.

In a related move, the City and County of Honolulu has officially declared Trump a “persona non grata” which effectively bars him from entering Honolulu.

In a resolution unanimously approved by the Honolulu Board of Supervisors and immediately signed by Mayor Kirk Caldwell, Trump is also disqualified from doing business in the city and county. As such, the Trump Tower located in Waikiki has been padlocked and prevented from further operations.

Arriving tourists and business people who have booked their accommodation at the Trump Tower will be barred from disembarking at the Honolulu International Airport unless they can show proof that they have re-booked their stay at another hotel.

For sure, Aloha has its limits!

Donald Trump’s Next Executive Order: Jail Hillary Clinton

February 3, 2017 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The. Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Now everybody knows that when Donald Trump promises to do something, he delivers. And deliver he did on almost all of his campaign promises so far: repealing Obamacare, building a border wall with Mexico, creating a Muslim registry, closing the door on refugees and immigrants, and many others.

There is just one major campaign promise that he hasn’t fulfilled, but it’s coming next week: to jail Hillary Clinton.

Many will recall that during his presidential campaign, Trump said to Clinton: “If I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your (missing email) situation, because there has never been so many likes, so much deception.”

When asked by The Adobo Chronicles why he has not acted on that promise, Trump said, “Just you wait. As soon as my nominee for attorney general Jeff Sessions is confirmed by the Senate, that promise will come true.”

Sessions passed the first confirmation hurdle when the Senate Judiciary Committee approved his nomination. Soon after, in a vote for 53-42, the Senate moved to start debate on his confirmation.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer confirmed that a draft Executive Order is waiting to be signed by Trump, instructing Sessions to hire a special prosecutor to start the jailing process for Mrs. Clinton.

However, Spicer said that “because President Trump is a nice person and recognizes his long friendship with Bill and Hillary, he will pardon Mrs. Clinton when his second term as U.S. president is up.

Yes, Trump just promised that he will win a second term. Will he deliver?

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – It must be related to his insecurity or attention deficit disorder, but President Donald Trump wants to prove to America that he is more popular than Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga, as we all know, will perform during Sunday’s Super Bowl LI’s half-time show in what is considered the most-watched television spectacle.

Today, The White House announced that Donald Trump will go on live television to make a very important announcement. The president will go live at exactly the same as the half-time show and has asked all the news and cable networks to cover his annoucement.

Press Secretary Sean Spicer has declined to say what Trump’s announcement will be about, but he assured the American people that it will be much more important and spectacular than Lady Gaga’s performance.
