LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said Monday mosques, schools, supermarkets, car repair shops and “any place where radicalization is going on” should be monitored in light of terrorist threats.

Campaigning in Nevada, the retired neurosurgeon addressed the need for increased surveillance of people in the United States during an appearance about an hour west of Las Vegas.

Reacting to Carson’s statement, three popular supermarkets — Safeway, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s — have announced that effectively immediately, they will be setting up spy cameras in all their stores to help with the anti-terrorism campaign. “We’re happy to do our part to help secure our people and nation,” spokespersons for the supermarket chains told The Adobo Chronicles.

So the next time you go grocery-shopping, make sure to smile because you’re on candid camera!

BEN CARSON’S PROPOSED NEW GOP PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE FORMAT

Among Carson’s demands: dim, mood lighting

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles ) – Following Wednesday’s poorly-managed GOP presidential debate hosted by CNBC, Republican presidential candidate, now frontrunner, Ben Carson, demanded that the Republican National Committee (RNC) change the entire debate format starting with the November 10 debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Carson told RNC that unless all his demands are met, he will not be participating in next month’s debate.

Carson’s demands:

Only the top four candidates will be invited, presumably Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and himself.
The prime-time debate must be broadcast by all major cable and television networks, except CNBC. Being the richest of the candidates, Donald Trump will pay for the air time.
There will be no commercial interruptions, just a moment of silence every thirty minutes.
Being the frontrunner, Carson’s podium should be placed at least five feet away from the remaining three debaters (see photo).
Carson wants dim, mood lighting throughout the debate (see photo).
There will be no moderators. Instead, Carson will be asking all the questions of the three other candidates before answering each question himself.
The three candidates will be allowed to ask each other a follow-up question, but they cannot ask Carson any question.
Towards the end of the two-hour debate, the live audience and television viewers will be asked to vote on who they think won the debate. The results will be announced at the conclusion of the telecast.
The candidate that finishes last in the voting will immediately withdraw his candidacy.
If Carson ends up last in the voting, he will remain as a candidate until the next scheduled debate.

The campaigns of Trump, Bush and Rubio, have not formally commented on Carson’s proposal.

SUSPICIOUS MAIL PACKAGE SENT TO GOP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BEN CARSON TRACED TO CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Federal agents and bomb-sniffing dogs were dispatched to the office of Dr. Ben Carson in Alexandria, Virginia, shortly after the Republican candidate for president received a suspicious mail package.

The package consisted of a Manila envelope that seemed to contain a small metal device. Carson’s staff suspected the device to be an explosive.

The package was taken to a nearby football field to be destroyed.

Well, it turns out that the package came from the office of California Governor Jerry Brown.

Brown confirmed that he sent the package consisting of a letter to Carson, along with a flash drive containing reports and information on climate change.

Carson was in California recently where he made statements denying that climate change was man-made.

No charges will be filed against the governor, since no one was injured. Brown, however volunteered to reimburse the Federal government for the cost of sending the agents and dogs to Carson’s office.

All’s well that ends well.
