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.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles ) – Most Americans who watched almost eleven hours of yesterday’s Congressional committee hearing on Benghazi felt sorry for the Republicans who failed miserably in their mission to take down Hillary Clinton and derail her campaign for the presidency.

But there is no reason to feel sorry for the former First Lady and Secretary of State. She enjoyed the free airtime to promote her presidential quest.

But that’s not all.

Clinton was also able to promote her book, thanks to this exchange with committee chair, Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy:

GOWDY: Madam Secretary, you’re welcome to answer the question if you’d like to.

CLINTON: Well, I wrote a whole chapter about this in my book, “Hard Choices.” I’d be glad to send it to you Congressman.”

We can’t wait to see the results of the next presidential poll, as well as an update on The New York Times’ “Best Seller” list.

Twentieth Century Fox has just announced that it will soon start filming “Home Alone: Adult Edition” which is based on a real-life event: the 2015 Congressional Benghazi hearing.

The sequel to the popular movie which originally starred the young McCauley Caulkin will feature Hillary Clinton and Congresswoman Martha Roby (R, Alabama) playing themselves.

In the actual hearing held Thursday, Roby asked the former secretary of state whether she was at home, and home alone all night during the moments before and following the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi.
