WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – A little-known Republican senator from Oklahoma, James Lankford, told his colleagues that men like him have the right choose whether or not women should have an abortion.

He made the statement during Monday’s senate floor debate on the proposal to defund Planned Parenthood which ended up being rejected in the subsequent vote.

Lankford  argued on that he had the right to lecture women about whether or not they should get abortions because he had impregnated his wife and “had something to do with the birth.”

Lankford’s argument resonated well with Republicans and Tea Party members, as well as religious conservatives who hailed the senator as the new hero for men’s rights. Several of the Republican candidates for president have also taken notice of Lankford and are seriously considering him to be their vice presidential running mate.

“I admire his courage, but most especially his logic on this highly-sensitive issue,” Senator Ted Cruz said.

In Makati, free birthday cakes for its senior citizens

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Vice President Jejomar Binay criticized Mar Roxas for remaining in his position as Secretary of Interior and Local Governments after he had officially declared his candidacy for president of the Philippines in 2016. Roxas is President NoyNoy Aquino’s anointed successor.

“Common sense should tell Roxas that it would be inappropriate if not illegal for a cabinet official to remain in his appointed position while campaigning for political office,” Binay said. “Who knows if government funds are being used for the political campaign?”

“Roxas cannot have his cake and eat it too ” Binay told reporters.

“If he wants his cake, he can live in Makati City where the local government gives away free cake to its senior citizens during their birthdays.”

Roxas could not be immediately reached for comment.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Donald Trump is so confident he will win the Republican nomination and the general elections to become the next president of the United States that he has begun to assemble his cabinet.

Earlier, Trump named Sarah Palin as his Secretary of State.  “She is beautiful, personable, a card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association (NRA), and she can see Russia from her backyard in Alaska,” Trump said of the former governor and vice presidential candidate. “What better qualifications could I look for?”

Today, Trump also named conservative columnist Ann Coulter as his Secretary of Homeland Security.  He accepted Coulter’s proposition to assume the all-important cabinet position.

Coulter made the proposition last week when she spoke at the Eagle Forum’s Collegian Summit at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. when she anounced, in answer to a question, “I would like to be the head of Donald Trump’s Homeland Security. I’ll get it all done before breakfast…I think I could kind of guess who the criminals are going to be at least 50 percent of the time. People who don’t speak English.”

Trump likes to be surrounded by women. That’s why he owns the Miss U.S.A. and Miss Universe pageants.  So expect more women in his cabinet.

Already, there are speculations that former Arizona governor Jan Brewer and former Minessota Representative Michele Bachmann are on Trump’s short list, as is Filipino American conservative blogger, Michelle Malkin.
