DONALD TRUMP’S BIBLICAL BASIS FOR WANTING TO DATE HIS OWN DAUGHTER

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump lashed out at those who have criticized him for his recent statements that he would date his own daughter, Ivanka.

“I am a very religious person and I live by God’s Commandments,” Trump said.

He quoted the bible in which it says:

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.” (Mark, 12:30-31).

Trump pointed out that we should not take bible quotes too literally. “The spirit of the second commandment is that we should love not just our neighbors but everyone, and that includes my daughter'” he said.

Trump’s infatuation with Ivanka became evident once more at last night’s Republican presidential debate when, responding to a question on which woman the candidates think should be placed on the new ten dollar bill. His response, of course, was “my daughter.”

Trump's daughter Ivanka on the $100 bill — Trump’s daughter Ivanka on the $100 bill

SIMI VALLEY, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Last July, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced plans for a redesign of the $10 bill, marking the first time in more than a century that a woman will be featured on a U.S. bill. The newly designed $10 bill will be issued by 2020—in time for the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment (women suffrage).

At last night’s Republican presidential debate, moderators asked the candidates which woman they would put on the $10 bill. Here’s how each of them responded:

Rand Paul: Susan B. Anthony, suffragist

Mike Huckabee: His wife, Janet

Marco Rubio: Civil rights activist Rosa Parks

Ted Cruz: Put Rosa Parks on the $20 bill and keep Alexander Hamilton on the $10

Ben Carson: His mother, Sonyam

Jeb Bush: Margaret Thatcher, British prime minister mj

Donald Trump: His daughter, but he’d like her to be on the $100 bill.

Carly Fiorina: “We shouldn’t change the $10 dollar bill or the $20 dollar bill. I think, honestly, it’s a gesture. I don’t think it helps to change our history. What I would think is that we ought to recognize that women are not a special interest group. Women are the majority of this nation, we are half the potential of this nation and this nation will be better off when every woman has the opportunity to live the life she chooses.”

Scott Walker: American Red Cross founder Clara Barton

Chris Christy: First Lady Abigail Adams

John Kasich: Nobel Peace Prize-winner Mother Teresa

CONTROVERSIAL TV HOST WILLIE REVILLAME FILES CANDIDACY FOR PHILIPPINE PRESIDENT

September 16, 2015 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles®) – In May of 2016, Filipinos will go to the polls to elect a new president who will succeed NoyNoy Aquino whose six-year-term will be ending.

So far, candidate choices are being described as ranging from corrupt to clueless to inexperienced, and voters are hoping someone else would step up to declare his or her candidacy before next month’s filing deadline.

Well, the Filipinos may be getting their wish.

Television host, actor, comedian and recording artist Willie Revillame has announced that he will be filing his candidacy next week to run as an independent candidate for president.

Revillame, who has served as host of several noontime variety television programs on ABS-CBN and GMA Networks, has been the subject of controversy in recent years, including having an unhappy 6-year-old boy perform a “macho dance” on his show. He was also hosting another TV show at the PhilSports Arena which ended in a stampede, killing 73 people and injuring about 400.

In deciding to run for president, Revillame told The Adobo Chronicles® that he wanted to offer himself as an alternative to the Filipino voters, considering that “none of the declared presidential candidates have the right experience, motivation and passion” to lead the country to become “great again.”

Asked about his chances of winning, Revillame simply answered: “Hey, if Americans consider Donald Trump as a serious candidate for president, why can’t the Filipinos do the same for me?”

It’s a valid point that speaks volumes about candidate qualifications. Or voter stupidity.

Revillame has chosen a campaign theme of “Masayang Daan” (Happy Trails), a take-off from President Aquino and his anointed candidate Mar Roxas’ “Matuwid na Daan” (Straight Path).
