CALIFORNIA WELL ON ITS WAY TO BECOMING AN INDEPENDENT REPUBLIC

imageSACRAMENTO, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Forget about the proposed ballot initiative creating four Californias. How about making the Golden State an independent republic?

It’s just a matter of time before the world’s eighth largest economy  will become a country separate from the rest of the United States.

Already, there is a growing consensus especially among the Republicans that a great wall be built between California’s southern border with Mexico.

Now, a grassroots movement is fast gaining momentum to build a similar border between California and Oregon, which would mean the only thing left to do is to build an eastern border between California and its neighboring states, Nevada and Arizona.

The Oregon grassroots movement is fast taking shape in the real estate business.  Oregonians blame Californians for the sharp rise in home prices in their state.

‘For Sale’ signs posted in front of houses for sale in Oregon now include a mandatory ‘No California’ warning, meaning that purchase offers from Californians will not be entertained by home owners and real estate brokers.

In recent years, there has also been a significant increase in the number of Californians moving to Oregon. ‘Californians are taking over our state,’ one long-time resident of Oregon told The Adobo Chronicles®.

Oregon’s state assembly is in the process of drafting a new law that would authorize the building of a border wall with California to prevent further migration from south of the Oregon border.

SAN FRANCISCO’S A&PI WELLNESS CENTER RECEIVES CARE PACKAGE FROM HOMOPHOBIC OREGON CAKE SHOP

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – San Francisco’s Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center, a non-profit health organization serving the needs of San Franciscans, including A&PI LGBTs, recently received a surprise gift in the mail:  a cake with an inscription, “We really do love you.”

The gift came from Sweet Cakes by Melissa, owned by Melissa and Aaron Klein, who were recently ordered by the Oregon Labor Commission to pay $135,000 in damages to a lesbian couple for whom they refused to make a wedding cake.

The Kleins cited their Christian beliefs against same-sex marriage in denying the services.  The Commission ruled they discriminated against the women on the basis of their sexual orientation.

Apparently, A&PI Wellness Center was among the ten West Coast LGBTQ organizations that would be receiving a cake from the Kleins.

It would have been a sweet gesture from Sweet Cakes by Melissa, except that the package came with a DVD of  Audacity,  an anti-LGBTQ film created by New Zealand televangelist Ray Comfort. The DVD is about the work of Christians to “save” doomed LGBT people.

As of press time, the Wellness Center was still deciding what to do with the cake.

This could very well  be a classic case of “You can’t have your cake and eat it too.”

We suggest a bake sale.
