Effective this year, Santa announced that he will be accepting requests and letters only by email. He said that this new procedure will not only save on postage stamps but will also expedite his receipt of letters, especially from kids who have been nice this year.

Parents, please advise your children’s to use this email when writing to Santa:

‘Saturday Night Live’ Sanctioned Over Fake News

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – In recent weeks, ‘fake’ news on social media has come under heavy attack by those who do not understand the meaning of freedom of speech.

As a result, social media giants Facebook and Google have promised to take concrete measures to deal with the proliferation of fake news, trolls and propaganda on the Internet.

Now, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has joined the bandwagon to ferret out fake news, this time on television.

As its first test case, FCC has sanctioned the popular television show, ‘Saturday Night Live’ over its recent episodes featuring then presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

In a strongly-worded memorandum to SNL producers, the FCC warned that it will no longer tolerate the TV show’s fake news episodes which have fooled its audience for a long time.

The FCC now requires SNL to tag all its episodes by flashing a disclaimer that reads, “This is a joke. This is only a joke.”

SNL has appealed the sanction and is scheduled to meet with the FCC on Monday.

HONOLULU, Hawaii (The Adobo Chronicles, Honolulu Bureau) – Throughout his presidential campaign, Donald Trump has refused to accept scientific evidence on global warming. “Man-made climate change is a big hoax, ” he told The Adobo Chronicles.

The president-elect said he does not need any scientific evidence. “We just need to look at what’s happening around us,” he suggested in an exclusive interview from his penthouse suite at the Trump International Hotel in Waikiki.

“I flew by my private helicopter over the Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa volcanoes today and the peaks were covered in snow,” Trump said, “so how can anyone say there is global warming? I can only imagine it must be freezing down there.”

The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a winter storm warning for the summits of Hawaii’s Big Island as wind and snow engulf the high peaks.

Up to a foot of snow is possible on the summits of Hawaii’s Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa volcanoes above 12,000 feet.

Meteorologists say the summits could see periods of heavy snow with wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour through Friday evening.
