DONALD TRUMP SAYS IRAQ WAR WAS AN ACCIDENT

LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles®) – Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry characterized the recent shooting in Charleston as an “accident” during an interview on Friday, accusing President Obama of using the massacre, which claimed nine lives, as a pretext for pushing a gun control agenda.

“This is the MO of this administration anytime there is an accident like this,” Perry said during an appearance on Newsmax TV. The former Texas governor said the president “doesn’t like guns,” so “he uses every opportunity” to tighten restrictions on gun ownership.

Another Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump, described the U.S. involvement in the Iraq war as an accident, saying that former President George W. Bush and his Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld accidentally believed that Saddam Hussein was concealing weapons of mass destruction.

It seems that Republicans have found the perfect excuse for everything that’s wrong with America and it’s a recurring theme that we will see throughout the presidential campaign season between now and the 2016 elections.

Senator Rand Paul is reportedly preparing a major speech this weekend in which he will describe the election of Barack Obama as an accident — twice over.

SOUTH KOREANS COULD FACE NATURAL EXTINCTION BY 2750; BY THEN, FILIPINOS WILL BE LIVING ON WATER

SEOUL, South Korea (The Adobo Chronicles®) – A 2014 study commissioned by the national legislature concluded that South Koreans could face natural extinction by the year 2750, if the birthrate were maintained at 1.19 children per woman.

Not only is the South Korean population aging (like in Japan and the US), but birthrates are also falling and women are increasingly less inclined to get married.

In 2013, the country’s birth rate plummeted to the lowest level on record: Only 8.6 babies per 1,000 South Koreans were born, and the total number of births fell by 9.9% to the second-lowest number on record.

Furthermore, a government survey of respondents aged 9 to 24 showed that only 45.6% of women “said marriage was something they should do in life,” considerably lower than the 62.9% of men.

Overall, the average South Korean woman is expected to give birth to 1.187 babies in her lifetime — the fifth lowest fertility in the world.

In contrast, neighboring country Philippines, with a current population of 100 Million (twice that of South Korea), has a birthrate of 24.4 babies per 1,000 Filipinos.

Unless the Philippine government comes up with a solid plan to control population growth, there will not be enough land space to accommodate all Filipinos by the year 2750.

But controlling population is almost out of the question in this predominantly Catholic country, where church officials even encourage Filipinos to make more babies so that the Philippines will have enough workers in call centers as more foreign investors increasingly outsource their manpower requirements.

Urban areas like Metro Manila will be packed like sardines and the population will have to disperse to the rural areas.

Still, that would not be enough to house all Filipinos.

The only option is to build house boats and a good percentage of Filipinos will be living on water — which is plenty in this nation of 7,100 islands.

This dire prediction could only emphasize the need for the Philippines to aggressively defend its claim over islands and waters in the South China Sea — a hotbed of territorial conflict between China and the Philippines, along with other Southeast Asian nations.

cher HOLLYWOOD, California (The Adobo Chronicles®) – On her Twitter account today, singer Cher said that if Donald Trump were elected president of the United States, she would move to Jupiter.

Like Cher, many other Hollywood celebrities weighed in on the recent announcement by the business mogul that he was running for president in 2016. Some were showing him love while others have threatened to alter their image or lifestyle.

Justin Bieber – a fan of The Donald — will renounce his Canadian citizenship and become a full-fledged American
Kim Kardashian will go full frontal on the cover of Variety magazine
Zac Efron will shave his head, permanently

Seeing as how Hollywood greatly influences politics, there is some talk that in a Trump presidency, the South Lawn of the White House would be renamed Jurrasic Park while the United Nations Headquarters in New York would be renamed Jurrasic World.

In addition Cirque du Soleil and the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will permanently close shop since there would be enough circus going on in the White House.
