Washington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Grand Old Party (GOP) is leaving no stone unturned in its bid to gain full control of both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, not to mention the White House come 2016.

The Republic National Committee (RNC) is holding the biggest and most ambitious political fundraiser ever in the history of the U.S.  It will be held at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and will showcase the Three Tenors.

Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti in concert?

No.  Ted Cruz, Chris Christie and Mitch McConnell. Tenors and Republicans all. Unknown to many, the three GOP leaders have had extensive training at the Juilliard School of Music in New York City.  All have agreed to join their voices together to raise campaign funds for both the 2014 and 2016 elections.

Each ticket costs $32,400, the maximum political contribution allowed by law from individuals and political action committees (PAC).  Assuming that the concert will play to a full house at the Kennedy Center, the GOP is expected to raise a total of almost $80 Million.  The concert hall as a capacity of 2,462.

The Adobo Chronicles has learned that the GOP tenors will be performing a repertoire consisting of songs from some of the world’s greatest operas like La Boheme, Rigoletto and Carmen.  They will also sing songs from Broadway shows like The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables.

The two-hour concert will be directed by Metropolitan Opera’s Music Director James Levine.

The Democratic National Committee refused to comment on the GOP fundraiser, saying that “we’ll do what we do best, that is, using social media.”

JUSTIN BIEBER ARRESTED YET AGAIN, THIS TIME FOR INDECENT EXPOSURE (PARENTAL GUIDANCE)

New York, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – At Fashion Rocks 2014 Concert held at the Barclays Center in New York City last September 9, teen idol Justin Bieber was booed by the audience as he went on stage to introduce singer Rita Ora.  Then he proceeded to strip down to his Calvin Klein underwear to more boos from the crowd.

That wasn’t the end of the story.  Bieber was arrested right after the concert and booked for indecent exposure.

This is not the first time that Bieber had a run in with law enforcement.

In January this year, Bieber was arrested in Miami, Florida and booked on charges of driving under the influence (DUI), resisting arrest and driving on an expired license.

In July of 2013, Bieber was denied entry into the U.S. at the Canadian border after patrol agents scanned his Canadian passport showing multiple past misdemeanors committed by the singer — ranging from peeing into a restaurant mop bucket in New York  to failure to pay a $1,600 bill he owed an indoor skydiving facility.

In a statement  issued to the press, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) said that the singer exposed himself without the required band aid cover for his nipples and for having exceeded the limit for the amount of body tattoos one can display in public.

A spokesperson for the NYPD said that Bieber is extremely lucky that his latest arrest happened in New York instead of in another state where there is a “Three Strikes and You’re Out” law.  “Otherwise, he would have been locked in jail for life,” the spokesperson said.

Texas, Washington, California, Arkansas, Arizona and Massachusetts have all adopted the “Three Strikes” law.
