DONALD TRUMP TO TREVOR NOAH: ‘SHOW ME YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE’

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – Real estate mogul Donald Trump just can’t let go of his birther rants, and he seems to be getting more and more desperate about his misplaced crusade.

Trump led the charge on the view that Barack Obama wasn’t born in the United States, and questioned the authenticity of the president’s publicly-released copy of his Hawaii birth certificate.

On the same day that Ted Cruz (R-TX) announced that he was running for president, Trump suggested that the Republican senator may not be eligible to become president because he was born in Canada. Cruz , of course, has maintained that he is eligible to be president since he was born to an American mother, despite having been born in Calgary, Alberta. He was a dual citizen until 2014 when he renounced his Canadian citizenship.

Today, Trump launched his latest birther attack against Trevor Noah who, just this week, was named successor to Jon Stewart who would be stepping down as host of the satirical ‘The Daily Show’ sometime this year.

“I need you to show your birth certificate,’ Trump challenged Noah, ‘to prove that you are truly African American.’

Apparently, Trump missed that part of Comedy Central’s announcement and the subsequent media coverage of Noah’s appointment, stating that the biracial comedian is, in fact, from South Africa, born to a South African mom and a German dad.

When informed about Noah’s non-U.S. citizenship, Trump immediately turned his attention back to Miss Japan, Ariana Miyamoto, a half-Japanese and half-African American who will represent her country in the next Miss Universe Beauty Pageant which he owns.

Earlier, Trump had announced that he would disqualify Miss Japan from competing in Miss Universe because of her biracial status.

BREAKING NEWS: INDIANA SET TO REPEAL ANTI-GAY LAW

imageINDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (The Adobo Chronicles) – The furor that has erupted over an Indiana law that gives businesses the right to refuse service to gay people has prompted the state’s legislature and its governor, Republican Mike Spence to go back to the drawing board to amend, if not totally repeal the law.

Sources close to the Republican leadership in Indiana said that there is a growing consensus within the party to pass a fixer-upper law that would all but repeal the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).

The fixer-upper will be called the Religious Freedom Restoration Restitution Act (RFRRA).

Payback time.

 

 

NEXT ON INDIANA LEGISLATURE’S AGENDA: BAN BIRTH CONTROL PILLS

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (The Adobo Chronicles) – Now that Governor Mike Pence has signed the legislation giving Indiana citizens the right to discriminate against gay men and women on the basis of religious belief, the Indiana State Legislature is busy preparing for its next major agenda: to ban birth control pills.

Oddly enough, the new proposed legislation is not based on religious belief. Rather, it is based on science and the environment!

As reported in The Washington Post, an alarming number of fish in rivers and oceans has been found to be gender-bending — making them unable to reproduce. This, according to scientists, will eventually wipe out the world’s supply of fish.

The culprit for this phenomenon? The birth control pill.

Flushed down toilets, poured down sinks and excreted in urine, a chemical component in the pill wafts into sewage systems and ends up in various waterways where it collects in fairly heavy doses. That’s where fish soak it up.

A recent survey by the U.S. Geological Survey found that fish exposed to a synthetic hormone called 17a-ethinylestradiol, or EE2, produced offspring that struggled to fertilize eggs. The grandchildren of the originally exposed fish suffered a 30 percent decrease in their fertilization rate.

Immediately after the news came out, the Republican members of Indiana’s Legislature convened a caucus to draft a bill that would totally ban birth control pills as a way to protect the fish population.

Governor Pence vowed to sign the bill as soon as it comes to his desk.

“This is no longer a matter of religious belief,” Pence said. “Rather, it is a matter of protecting the environment.”

“We’re not necessarily a fan of gender-bending,” Pence added.
