CHICAGO, Illinois ( The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Starting on October 6, you will be able order your Sausage or Egg McMuffins or hotcakes at McDonalds — all day!

The fast-food giant is finally giving in to customer pleas to extend its breakfast menu beyond the current 10:30 a.m. cutoff, The Washington Post reports.

Previously, McDonald’s argued that its 14,000 franchise restaurants don’t have the capacity to make breakfast and everything else on their menu at the same time. But with the slump in sales and growing competition from other fast food chains, McDonald’s says it can no longer afford to ignore its customers.

However, the all-day fare won’t include everything on the McDonald’s regular breakfast menu. Depending on the location, sausage burritos, hot cakes, Egg McMuffins and biscuit sandwiches will be served.

How about the Spam or Portuguese island breakfast served at McDonald’s locations in Hawaii? Nope, says McDonald’s. “It will be too difficult to be slicing and frying spam and Portuguese sausage, scrambling eggs and cooking rice at the same time as preparing sandwiches and burgers.”

In protest of the decision to exclude the rice breakfast favorite of the islands, Hawaii residents and tourists will be picketing McDonald’s outlets on Oahu, Kauai, Maui and the Big Island every day during the week of October 5 to press the fast food chain to reconsider its discriminatory decision.

The Adobo Chronicles® will be covering the protests live from Waikiki. Stay tuned.

SCOTT WALKER PROPOSES U.S.-CANADA BORDER; RICK SANTORUM WANTS SEA WALL AROUND ALASKA AND HAWAII

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles®) – Political analysts and pundits are now calling them the “Border Republicans.” Donald Trump, Scott Walker and Rick Santorum — Republican presidential candidates all — are hugging the limelight where it shines most: illegal immigration.

Everyone is getting tired of Trump’s “great wall” along the U.S. southern border with Mexico.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker just found a new hot button issue to help beef up his campaign: build a U.S. northern border.

In an interview for NBC’s “Meet the Press”, Walker said his tough talk to securing the borders and enforcing U.S. laws extends to the 5,525-mile Canadian border as well.

It’s a shift from most campaign-trail rhetoric, which has focused on the border with Mexico, where millions undocumented immigrants have entered the country.

Not wanting to be left behind, former Senator Rick Santorum came up with his own border policy idea. He wants a sea wall built around all islands in the state of Hawaii to deter undocumented immigrants from Asia and the Pacific from entering the U.S. He is also proposing a similar sea wall between Alaska and Russia. (Many will recall that while campaigning for vice president, former Governor Sarah Palin said that she can see Russia from her backyard.)

The Republicans may finally see a tighter competition among its presidential candidates.

Will Trump’s commanding lead in the polls finally drop?

Will other candidates join the bandwagon and align themselves with the border Republicans?
