DONALD TRUMP TO CHALLENGE SUPERMAN’S DUAL CITIZENSHIP

October 21, 2015 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

Capture LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – Well, it appears that Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump is not only a self-proclaimed birther and an opponent of birth tourism (a.k.a. ‘anchor babies’); he is also against dual citizenship.

Case in point: Trump says that if elected president, he will issue an executive order that would revoke Superman’s dual citizenship.

While Superman has apparently renounced his U.S. citizenship in favor of being an honorary citizen of every country in the world, Kent Clark has chosen to retain his. That makes Superman/Clark a dual citizen.

“Superman can’t have the best of both worlds,” Trump said. “He is either a U.S. citizen or an undocumented alien.”

While many countries allow dual citizenship for its natural-born population, the United States does not formally recognize such status for U.S. citizens.

SPOUSE SHARING APP LAUNCHES IN SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – We’re living in the world of the Millennial generation where economic necessity begets a culture of sharing.

Homeowners share their spare rooms through Airbnb and private car owners share a ride through Uber and Lyft with those who are challenged by mobility — all for a fee, of course.

Economic and social revolution seem to always begin in the most liberal city of America — San Francisco, and the latest experiment, or shall we say, start-up, is no exception.

Today, a new start-up company called SpouseShare broke the champagne bottle and cut the ceremonial ribbon at its headquarters south of Market Street in San Francisco.

It is a new mobile app that connects people who are seeking to share their spouse with a third person, whether in a undocumented domestic relationship or a more formal gay marriage.

The founders of SpouseShare got the idea after encountering a Facebook post in which three Thai gay men announced their three-some marriage, labeled by The New York Post as a “throuple.”

FROM HONOLULU TO MANILA, EARTHLINGS SURVIVE ANOTHER ARMAGEDDON PREDICTION!

October 8, 2015 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

HONOLULU, Hawaii (The Adobo Chronicles) – A Christian organization earlier warned that the planet earth will be permanently destroyed on Wednesday, October 7.

The eBible Fellowship, an online affiliation headquartered near Philadelphia, has based its prediction of an October obliteration on a previous claim that the world would end on 21 May 2011. While that claim proved to be false, the organization is confident it has the correct date this time.

“According to what the Bible is presenting it does appear that 7 October will be the day that God has spoken of: in which, the world will pass away,” said Chris McCann, the leader and founder of the fellowship, an online gathering of Christians headquartered in Philadelphia.

“It’ll be gone forever. Annihilated.”

Well, it’s now Thursday in every continent of planet earth, and people are still waking up with everything fully intact.

In Honolulu, surfers started heading for their early morning routine; the McDonald’s restaurant on Kalakaua Avenue is still serving the island platter of SPAM, Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice; and Japanese and other tourists boarded airconditioned buses headed for Hanauma Bay, a favorite snorkeling spot.

In the Philippines, NoyNoy Aquino is still president while Mar Roxas, VP Jojo Binay and Senator Grace Poe are still running to succeed him; Filipinos are still praying that Mayor Rod Duterte will declare his candidacy; there is still a long line to get to the MRT trains; and commuters are still stuck in traffic on EDSA.

There’s even good news: the man who heads the agency managing public services in the Philippine capital, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chair Francis Tolentino, has resigned following a disgraceful Liberal Party event in Laguna province, featuring lewd performances by scantily-clad women.

But there is also some bad news: Filipino champion boxer Manny Pacquiao, congressman who is the number one absentee legislator, is running for senator; and his chances for a rematch with American Floyd Mayweather just went ‘poooof!’ Mayweather this week announced his retirement after 49 undefeated championship fights.

Meanwhile, the Hollywood film, ‘The Martian,’ opened this week in theaters worldwide and actor Matt Damon is still in hot water for his racial and homophobic comments.
