RUSSIA’S VLADIMIR PUTIN GETS HIS OWN LANE IN MANILA’S TRAFFIC-CLOGGED AVENUE

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – It’s called the Putin Lane, an exclusive and dedicated stretch of Metro Manila’s main thoroughfare called EDSA.

When world leaders converge in Manila next week for the Asia Pacific Cooperation Agreement (APEC) Summit, this lane from EDSA in Mandaluyong City to Roxas Boulevard in Manila will be off limits to all motorists except, of course, Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Putin will be staying at the Shangrila Hotel along EDSA and will be commuting by limousine to the meeting site at the Philippine International Convention Center in Manila.

Upon learning of the lane naming, other world leaders including Chinese President Xi Jinping and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto lodged a diplomatic protest with the Philippine government, accusing the Aquino administration of favoring the Russian leader. “We also want our own lanes,” they said.

Meanwhile, the Metro Manila Development Authority and Philippine National Police conducted a ‘dry run’ of the Putin Lane yesterday and, as expected, it created a monstrous traffic jam along EDSA and other streets.

MICHELE BACHMANN WANTS TO BAN THE SALE OF MENORAH IN THE U.S.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Former presidential candidate Michele Bachmann has proposed a ban on the sale in the U.S. of the Menorah, a candelabrum used in Jewish worship, especially during the observance of Hanukkah.

She made the proposal as she called for an intensified effort to convert Jews to Christianity.

In the radio program, “Washington Watch,” Bachmann discussed the meaning of the recent intensification of violence in Israel and the West Bank. She cast the violence as a signal of the return of Jesus, which would necessitate mass conversions.

“We recognize the shortness of the hour,” Bachmann said on the program hosted by Tony Perkins, “and that’s why we as a remnant want to be faithful in these days and do what it is that the Holy Spirit is speaking to each one of us, to be faithful in the Kingdom and to help bring in as many as we can — even among the Jews — share Jesus Christ with everyone that we possibly can because, again, He’s coming soon.”

Bachmann added that banning the sale of the Menorah would be a great and meaningful first step in converting Jews to Christianity. She proposed that American Jews should decorate their homes with a Christmas tree instead. “If that offends them, then an alternative would be to set up a giant inflatable Santa Claus in their front lawns,” she said.
