Donald Trump To Get A Scolding From Queen Elizabeth When He Visits The U.K. This June

Leave a comment

LONDON, United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – Everyone wants to go to London to see the Queen, and Donald Trump is no exception. He has accepted an invitation from Elizabeth to visit Buckingham Palace this June.

But unknownst to the American President, the trip to London is more than just a  state visit.  Sources at the palace told The Adobo Chronicles that Trump will get a royal scolding for his anti-immigration and other policies inconsistent with that of the Monarchy.

America may have gained independence from Great Britain in 1776, but this will not stop the Queen from castigating the headnof its former colony — 13 colonies as a matter of fact.

Trump is expected to prepare — and prepare well — for a Queenly beating!

D52D4C82-B74A-4722-AEB5-4F7DCDCC7169SEATTLE, Washington (The Adobo Chronicles, Seattle Bureau) – Washington State Senator Maureen Walsh (R) infuriated healthcare workers nationwide after making outrageous comments about nurses who “play cards” on their shift.

The Senator’s remarks came during a heated debate in the Washington State Senate over SHB 1155, a new law that would establish mandatory meal and rest breaks for nurses. Walsh argued for an amendment to the bill that would exclude smaller hospitals from the requirement, suggesting most nurses sit around idly at work playing games.

Reacting to the Senator’s remarks, members of the Filipino American Nurses Association said they were deeply hurt and insulted, saying they never play cards during their work shift.

”Playing cards is so passé. This is the age of modern technology and the Internet. Most of us play online Sudoku on our smart phones,” an association spokesperson told The Adobo Chronicles.

99F5B22E-6B6A-45AC-9DC3-DAB3951370B6MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) today told The Adobo Chronicles that it will launch a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of itself and two other media entities —Rappler and Vera Files over allegations that all three have been involved in a foreign-funded plot to oust Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.

The exposé about the plot was revealed today in a banner story published by the respected and oldest Philippine newspaper, The Manila Times.

We asked PCIJ how it could be impartial in investigating the matter when results could potentially incriminate itself as well as their allies Rappler and Vera Files.

”Well, we stand by our investigative expertise, our journalistic integrity and our loyalty to our foreign funders to prove to all that we are innocent of the allegations,” a spokesperson said.

Well, it seems like they have already reached a conclusion before their investigation even started.

It’s a sorry state of Philippine media today.
