Sarah Palin Says She Is Ready To Dump Trump

1 Comment

imageAMES, Iowa — Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor who became a Tea Party sensation and a favorite of grass-roots conservatives, has spoken out for the first time on the 2016 U.S. presidential elections and asked voters the question, “Are you ready to dump Trump?”

“Are you ready for the leader to make America great again?” Palin said with Mr. Trump by her side at a rally at Iowa State University. “Then you must dump Trump.”

The Republican frontrunner presidential candidate was not expecting the comment from Palin.  Immediately after the rally, Trump posted  his own criticism about the 2008 vice-presidential candidate, saying, “What is wrong with this woman? She has blood coming out of her eyes, and her mouth, and from her whatever.” His post is reminiscent of a similar comment he said of FOX News commentator and debate moderator Megyn Kelly who had called him out on his mysoginistic record.

It turns out that, because of poor audio at the rally, Trump misheard Palin who actually said, “Are you ready to stump for Trump?”

Well, so much for Palin endorsing Trump.

For McDonald’s And Jollibee, The Fierce Competition Continues

Leave a comment

imageBAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – U.S. fast-food giant McDonald’s claims to be number one in the world, except  in the Philippines where the clown can’t seem to beat the ‘fat, stupid, happy bee,’ Jollibee.

The fierce competition between the two restaurant chains continues as the fast-food industry tries to reinvent itself in order to keep up with the changing health concerns of consumers.

McDonald’s recently opened its very first “Next” restaurant featuring a full salad bar in Hong Kong. The menu also offers options for patrons to customize and decide what goes into their burgers and fries.

Not to be outdone, Jollibee opened its very first ‘fresh vegies-to-go’ station in Baguio City, the summer capital and ‘salad bowl’ of the Philippines. Only fresh produce are sold at this new location, and there is no dine-in option. Customers pick their favorite fresh vegetables to take home and cook for themselves.

“It’s Jollibee’s way of contributing to a more healthy Philippine citizenry,” a company spokesperson told The Adobo Chronicles.

Golden Globes: Hollywood Foreign Press Association Scolds Jennifer Lawrence

HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – During a backstage press conference at last night’s Golden Globes, Jennifer Lawrence, who won Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy film, scolded a foreign journalist for looking at his phone while asking a question of the “Joy” star.

“You can’t live your whole life behind your phone, bro,” she said to a male journalist whose first language was apparently not English.  He was reading his question  — translated from his native language to English — from his smart phone.

After the press conference, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) scolded back Lawrence for being rude and insensitive, especially given the fact that her award came from a FOREIGN press association whose members consider English as a second, or third language.

“Apparently, Miss Lawrence thinks that if one can’t speak English, or has a foreign accent, he or she does not have any business asking her a question at a press conference in an awards show,” HFPA said.
