West with the president-elect at Trump Tower

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles, New York Bureau) – Many have wondered why Kanye West was seen at the Trump Tower in New York, striking a pose with the president-elect and daughter Ivanka.

Well, wonder no more.

Reliable sources told The Adobo Chronicles that Donald Trump is set to appoint West to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The controversial rap singer will be one of five commissioners.

FCC is an independent agency of the United States government, created by Congressional statute to regulate interstate communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. The FCC works towards six goals in the areas of broadband, competition, the spectrum, the media, public safety and homeland security, and modernizing itself.

When asked what qualifies West to be an FCC commissioner, Trump said, “He is familiar with media and we’ve been friends for a long time. Ivanka is also good friends with West’s wife, Kim Kardashian. The couple will bring a much-needed celebrity status to my administration, not to mention diversity.”

Facing A Lifetime Ban, Donald Trump Offers To Buy Twitter For $1.2 Billion

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – Twitter is considering banning Donald Trump from the social network after his recent angry tweets in which he attacked Indianapolis factory worker Chuck Jones. Soon after, Mr Jones received a run of abusive calls, the Washington Post reported, apparently spurred on by the tweet.

Twitter’s rules prohibit tweets that incite abuse or harassment, and echoes situations where Twitter has opted to ban people for life.

Upon learning of his impending ban from Twitter, Trump sent Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey an offer to buy out the San Francisco-based company for its full net worth of $1.2 billion.

A spokesperson for Trump said the purchase would enable the president-elect to continue using the social media network for his rants and trolls even after he has assumed the presidency.

Twitter account holders are afraid that their tweets will be censored if not deleted once Trump assumes ownership of the company.

Especially if the tweets are critical of Trump.

Medical Breakthrough: FDA Approves Anti-Selfie Medication

BETHESDA, Maryland (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – It was in March of 2014 when we first reported that the American Psychiatric Association (APA) officially classified the taking of selfies as a mental disorder.

The disease was given the namer ‘selfitis.’ It was reaching an epidemic proportion.

Other than self-control methods and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the World Health Organization and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have not approved a cure since then.

Today, however, the FDA announced that it has approved and licensed a new pill that counters the urge to take a selfie. It was developed by Bayer, the same company that markets aspirin.

Recommended dosage is 1 tablet per day for men, and 5 tablets per day for women.

Bayer explained that the higher dosage for women was because in clinical trials conducted throughout the country, women had a more difficult time resisting the urge to take a selfie.

The downside to the new anti-selfie tablet is that it has to be taken for life.
