DONALD TRUMP DECIDES TO RENAME HIS PAGEANT ‘MISS EASTERN UNIVERSE’

1 Comment

imageLAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles®) – Day by day, Donald Trump’s Miss USA and Miss Universe Pageants are facing more trouble — a continuing fall out from the business mogul’s derogatory comments about Mexicans during his announcement of his candidacy for president of the United States.  He called Mexicans “rapists, drug addicts and criminals.”

As a result of his insensitive remarks, the Spanish-language television network, Univision, severed its business relationship with Trump, saying it will not be airing the July 12 Miss USA or Miss Universe pageant later this year. Trump is suing Univision for $500 Million.

Soon after, NBC Universal also announced that it is “firing” Trump by not airing the two pageants and canceling the Donald’s “Celebrity Apprentice” television series. No  lawsuit has yet been filed against NBC, but that’s obviously coming in the next few days.

Today, Mexico announced that it will not be sending a representative to the Miss Universe pageant this year, and there are strong indications that many other Spanish-speaking countries  in South America and Europe will follow suit.

The absence of the western countries that are in solidarity with Mexico will create a noticeable void in Trump’s international pageant. (Latin countries have fared extremely well in the pageant .)

In a desperate attempt to prevent the total demise of the Miss Universe Pageant, Trump, speaking from his penthouse suite at the Trump Towers in Las Vegas, announced that he was renaming the Miss Universe Pageant the “Miss Eastern Universe Pageant” to better reflect the demographics and representation of candidates that will result from the Western countries’ boycott of his pageant.

CITY OF DORAL, Florida (The Adobo Chronicles®) – The ongoing rift between Miss Universe Pageant owner Donald Trump and Univision has escalated in just the last 24 hours, and Mexico is turning out to be the biggest loser.

The rift began when Trump announced that he was running for president of the United States. During that announcement, the business mogul promised that if elected, he would close the southern border so that Mexico would stop sending “rapists, drug addicts and criminals.”

Reacting to Trump’s remarks, Univision, the largest Spanish-language network, said it will not be airing the upcoming Miss U.S.A. pageant or the 2016 Miss Universe Pageant.

Trump was unapologetic and today sent a strongly-worded letter to the Univision’s CEO, banning the network’s personnel from setting foot on the golf course and facilities of the Trump National Doral Miami, site of last year’s Miss Universe Pageant.

In addition, Trump said he was seriously considering Acapulco in Mexico as the site for the 2016 Miss Universe Pageant.  But now that Univision has decided not to air the pageant, Trump said he is inclined to choose Manila in the Philippines as the site for the 2016 pageant.  If held in Manila, the pageant will be broadcast live from the Mall of Asia.

Earlier, Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries in South America threatened to boycott the Miss Universe Pageant because of Trump’s tirade about Mexicans.

Upon hearing the news, current Miss Philippines-Universe title holder Pia Wurtzbach expressed disappointment because she said she had looked forward to traveling Mexico for the 2016 pageant.

CONSERVATIVE COLUMNIST ANN COULTER IS FIRST WOMAN ADMITTED TO KKK

1 Comment

DORAL, Florida (The Adobo Chronicles) -The True Invisible Empire Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan describes itself as an Order of the Highest Class for White Christian Men of Intelligence and Character. It is one of many current unnconnected groups that use the KKK name.

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK), or simply “the Klan”,  operates on racism and secrecy, calls for purification of American society and has always been considered part of right-wing extremism.

Conservative columnist Ann Coulter, being a woman, could not be admitted into the Klan despite her views that reflect almost a hundred percent of what the organization stands for.

But that has just changed.

Today, the KKK formally admitted Coulter as a full-fledged member after the columnist appeared on national television boldly bashing and trashing Mexicans — those living in Mexico and in the United States.

Responding to questions by host Jorge Ramos, Coulter practically told a stunned live audience that Mexicans are more dangerous than ISIS. “If you don’t want to be killed by ISIS, don’t go to Syria; if you don’t want to be killed by Mexicans, there is nothing I can tell you,” she said. The program aired Tuesday on Univision.

The controversial columnist is frequently mentioned as a potential vice presidential running mate of one or more of the declared Republican candidates for the 2016 U.S. presidential elections.
