DONALD TRUMP DROPS TO NO. 3 IN LATEST POLL, BLAMES POPE FRANCIS

Capture WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles®) – For a solid three-month period, Donald Trump has topped all the polls involving the Republican presidential candidates, leading his rivals by double-digit numbers.

But in just the last week, everything changed for Trump.

The latest USA TODAY GOP power rankings has Trump sliding down to third place, behind Carly Fiorina and Marco Rubio. The power rankings are determined by about 30 political experts from around the country who are asked who they think is the strongest candidates in the Republican field.

Reacting to his drop in the polls, Trump blamed Pope Francis’ recent visit to the U.S., saying the media stopped covering his campaign to focus on the Pontiff’s events in Washington, D.C., New York and Philadelphia. “The paparazzi that used to follow me wherever I go were nowhere to be seen during the pope’s visit,” Trump said.

Trump’s declining numbers seem to be having a telling effect on his demeanor and campaign strategy.

Last week, Trump announced that he would not “be doing any more Fox shows for the foreseeable future” because he felt the network had treated him “very unfairly.” The foreseeable future turned out to be about six days. He ended his boycott of Fox News with an appearance on The O’Reilly Factor Tuesday night.

The Trump campaign says to expect a kinder, humbler and gentler candidate going forward. Thanks, in part, to Pope Francis.

BARACK OBAMA’S SECRET MEETING WITH KIM JONG-UN

October 1, 2015 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles®) – There seems to be a double standard when it comes to secret meetings among controversial politicians and religious leaders.

The social media was abuzz with angry posts about The Vatican’s admission that Pope Francis did meet with Rowan County (KY) county clerk Kim Davis at the Vatican Embassy in Washington, D.C. last week.

Many interpreted the meeting as the Pope’s endorsement of discrimination against gay men and women in as far as marriage is concerned.

During the secret meeting, the Pope allegedly thanked Davis for her “courage” and asked her to “stay strong.”

Davis was jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, despite an order by the court.

Yet, everything seems to be hush-hush regarding another secret meeting — between President Barack Obama and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.

It allegedly happened shortly after the president met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, during the latter’s official state visit to the U.S. last week.

No details were released by The White House regarding the Obama-Kim secret meeting.

After a thorough investigation, The Adobo Chronicles® can now confirm that the secret meeting did happen, but it was between Obama and Kim’s alter ego, Randall Park.

Park played the role of Kim Jong-Un in the controversial film, “The Interview.” The Sony flick was pulled from theaters after threats of possible attacks on moviegoers.

Park was a guest of The White House during a state dinner held in honor of the Chinese President.
