Western States To Revert Back To Mexico Under President Trump

Mexican Senato Armando Rios Piter is already laying the groundwork in preparation for the election of Trump as the next U.S. president.

The first of these bilateral agreements that will be reviewed and possibly cancelled is the 1849 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo which ended the Mexican-American war and resulted in the U.S. acquiring the states of Texas and California, as well as large parts of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming.

At today’s session of the Mexican Senate, Rios Piter unveiled a revised map of the United States that reflects the re-acquisition by Mexico of the Western states included in the 1849 treaty.

The Trump campaign has not issued a statement regarding Rios Piter’s proposal except to say that it will have to revise its blueprint for the great wall to adjust to the new U.S.-Mexico border.

Why Obama Cancelled Meeting With Philippine President Duterte

image.jpegABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – Now it can be told. Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s colorful language supposedly directed at U.S. President Barack Obama had nothing to do with the cancelled meeting between the two world leaders.

The two presidents were supposed to have a one-on-one meeting during the ASEAN Summit in Laos this week.

News media have speculated that The White House cancelled the meeting because Duterte had called Obama a “son of a whore.”

Sources close to Obama, however, confirmed to The Adobo Chronicles that the real reason for the cancellation was because The White House and the U.S. State Department were not happy about a recent meeting between Duterte and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

A photo of the Duterte-Trump meeting was leaked to the media just before Obama left for Laos.

Now we know.

iPhone 7 Hit By Earbug

image.jpegSAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, Silicon Valley Bureau) – Just hours after the launch of the iPhone 7, tech gurus have already identified a bug that could derail the marketability of Apple’s newest smart phone.

Unlike bugs common among new smart phone releases, this one has nothing to do with software. Rather, it is a “user” bug.

Tech gurus are calling this the “earbug.”

Because the iPhone 7 does not have an earphone plug, the likelihood of one or both of the airpods (wireless ear phones) being lost or misplaced is anywhere from 60-90%, according to estimates.

“If TV remotes get lost or misplaced, how much more for those tiny airpods,” the techies said.
