Now, according to a late-breaking news from ABC’s New York City affiliate, Hillary Clinton has died from pneumonia.  The report, which made the rounds of the Internet, was uploaded by many conservative sites, and ABC News was quite offended by the quality of the video clip (see video below).

This makes Mrs. Clinton the most world-famous celebrity to die on the Internet.

If it’s not on (the real) ABC News, it’s false.

Donald Trump’s Body Double

Leave a comment

imageNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – If it’s on the Internet and picked up by some in the news media, it must be true: the Hillary Clinton that emerged  from daughter Chelsea’s apartment waving and smiling, was a body double.

Non-fans of Clinton just could not believe that someone diagnosed with Pneumonia can be up and running in just a few hours after a fainting and dehydration spell.

But body doubles among politicians, especially candidates for president, are more common than most people think.

In fact, The Adobo Chronicles has learned from a mole in the Trump campaign that Donald, indeed, has a body double.

This explains why people are seeing a good-natured, calm, prim and proper Donald Trump one day, then the next a racist, misogynistic, shrewd and self-absorbed person.

How to tell Trump from his body double?

Whenever you see him speaking and reading from a teleprompter, you’re seeing a body double.

Manny Pacquiao: “I Don’t Have $5 Million To Donate To President Duterte!”

Leave a comment

image.jpegMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Filipino boxing champion and Senator Manny Pacquiao has denied online reports that he is donating $5 Million to support Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s ‘war on drugs.’

The supposed donation was reported by the fake news site, theguard1an.com, and was quickly picked up by other social media sites. (The guard1an is not the same as the British newspaper The Guardian.)

In an interview with The Adobo Chronicles, Pacquiao said he does not have that kind of money to donate to Duterte. “I’m broke at the moment,” he said, “and that’s why I have agreed to come out of retirement and fight WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas.”

“Maybe, if I win this upcoming fight, I may have an extra $5 Million to donate to Duterte’s drug war.”

The Pacquiao-Vargas fight is scheduled on November 5 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
