WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ordered Saturday Night Live (SNL) to have each of the remaining 36 Republican presidential candidates host a future episode of the late-night comedy television show.

SNL had previously announced that Donald Trump will host the November 7 episode, prompting complaints from the rest of the Republican  candidate field.

FCC rules mandate that if free airtime was granted to a candidate over the public airwaves, equal time had to be made available to his or her opponent, if it was requested.

Well, all of Trump’s opponents requested equal time.

So there you have it, for 35 weeks after November 7  viewers will be treated to a GOP presidential candidate hosting SNL, starting with Ben Carson.

On the Democratic side, since Hillary Clinton appeared for a short segment of SNL recently, each of the Democratic presidential candidates (except Jim Webb who dropped out of the race today) will be given  the same amount of time on the show.

That, folks, is how Demoracy works!

DONALD TRUMP SIGNIFICANTLY DROPS IN LATEST POLL, THANKS TO STAR WARS

imageWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Donald Trump’s domination as the frontrunner in the race for the Republican nomination for president has finally come to an end.

Latest national polls show Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina tied at 23% each to claim the top spot in the Republican field of presidential candidates. Trump has slid to 7th place with only 4%.

The polls were taken shortly after the official release of the trailer of the upcoming Hollywood film, ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which has a black man and a woman as the lead characters.

Prior to the trailer release, Trump’s racist supporters flooded the Internet with tweets and posts calling for a boycott of the film because it has cast too many women, blacks, Latinos and  Asians, and presumably gay men and women.

The racist tweets fueled by the #BoycottStarWarsVII hashtag warned that the new Star Wars movie promotes “white genocide” and was made “to demoralize and destroy Whites.”

The votes for Carson and Fiorina have sent a clear message to Trump and his persistent attacks on women and minorities on the campaign trail.

Meanwhile, Trump’s Facebook and Twitter accounts had to be temporarily suspended because angry netizens were posting “Bye, Felicia” memes on his pages.

PHILIPPINES PRESIDENTIAL RACE: DONALD TRUMP IS NOT THE WEIRDEST CANDIDATE AFTER ALL

imageMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – If you think U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is the weirdest of them all — proposing to build a great wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and promising to deport 11 Million undocumented immigrants — think again.

Nothing beats the declared candidates for Philippine president — all 130 of them.  Especially Arturo Pacheco.

Pacheco is running on a unique platform vowing to make the Philippines the 51st U.S. state and proposing legislation that would create four seasons in the Philippines: winter, spring, summer and fall.

Of course, the Philippines, being  tropical country located above the equator, only has two seasons — the dry season and the wet season.

Pacheco’s proposal resonates well with Filipino voters who are tired of scorching heat and devastating typhoons.  They are looking forward to snow, falling leaves, spring blossoms and some breezy Hawaii weather.
