DES MOINES, Iowa (The Adobo Chronicles) – Former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is the first woman ever to win the Iowa Caucus, her razor edge-thin margin over Senator Bernie Sanders nothwithstanding.

Of course, the Clinton campaign and the liberal news media can spin Tuesday’s Iowa Caucus results every which way, buy history was truly and accurately made when she won over Sanders.

This is the second significant political campaign record achieved by Clinton.

In 2008, she became the first woman to be defeated by a black man in the Iowa Caucus!

FACEBOOK CONNECTS FRIENDS AND FAMILY, BUT ALSO DIVIDES THEM

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Social media is supposed to connect you up with friends and family and create a loving and supportive network through the Internet. But alas, Facebook also divides and separates friends and family, especially when it comes to politics.

Ever wondered who among your Facebook friends like Donald Trump, or Ted Cruz, or Bernie Sanders, or Hillary Clinton? Hell, even George Bush or Dick Cheney?

If you are Filipino, do you know who among your friends support which presidential candidate: Mar Roxas, Rodrigo Duterte, Grace Poe, Jejomar Binay or Miriam Defensor-Santiago?

Easy. Thanks to Facebook’s brilliant algorithms and database.

All you need to do is log on to your Facebook account, and in the search box, type in: “My Facebook friends who like (fill in the blanks).” The results may or may not surprise you, but we know of netizens who have unfriended people because of what their search revealed.

Technology has its ups, but also downs. And politics can be divisive.

BERNIE SANDERS MAKES SURPRISE APPEARANCE ON ‘SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE’

NEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – It was the highlight of last night’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ hosted by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. While he was delivering his opening monologue, Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders was standing by backstage waiting for his cue.

Then it was time. As Trump was wrapping up his monologue, the cameras shifted backstage as Sanders screamed “Trump’s a racist!”

Trump said he was never informed that Sanders would be appearing on the same show and accused SNL producers of maliciously plotting to embarrass him. He’s threatening to sue.

Meanwhile, Sanders said the only reason he agreed to the cameo appearance was because SNL gave him $5,000 towards his campaign.
