TEHRAN, Iran (The Adobo Chronicles® ) –  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called for President Obama to retract a statement he made Wednesday saying members of Congress who opposed the Iran nuke deal had something in common with Iranians who chanted “Death to America” in the streets of Tehran.

Obama made the comments in a speech at American University in Washington while going after critics of the deal, who he said were “selling a fantasy” to the American people. “In fact, it’s those hardliners who are most comfortable with the status quo,” Obama said. “It’s those hardliners chanting ‘Death to America’ who have been most opposed to the deal. They’re making common cause with the Republican caucus.”

But no Republican is more outraged than the Iranian hardliners themselves.

In the streets of Tehran, thousands of hardliners marched and chanted “Obama, retract your statement ” and “We are no Republicans!”

Leaders of the march said  it was the biggest insult to them and their cause to be compared to dumb, clueless and do-nothing Relublicans. “We’re better off than them,” they said.

A spokesperson for The White House said Obama was preparing a statement apologizing to the Iranians.

ELECTIONGATE: DONALD TRUMP’S PRESIDENTIAL BID IS A DEMOCRATIC PARTY PLOY

imageWASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – It is a scandal worse than Watergate or Irangate. It’s called Electiongate. (And these scandals always happen in Washington, D.C., go figure!).

Today, The Washington Post  confirmed that former President Bill Clinton had a meeting with Donald Trump just before the real estate mogul announced his bid to become the next president of the United States.

In that meeting, Clinton reportedly encouraged Trump to assume a bigger role in the Republican Party.  And he did, by announcing his quest to be the GOP’s nominee for president in the 2016 elections.

The rest is history, with Trump now leading in the polls and maintaining his solid frontrunner status going into Thursday’s Republican presidential debate on FOX News.

But political analysts always knew that Trump, a former Democrat, had a special bond with the Clintons.  He had, in fact, made huge contributions to the Clinton campaigns and to Bill and Hillary’s global foundation.

So, with the Post‘s exposé, it can now be told that Trump’s candidacy is actually a Democratic Party ploy to ensure that Hillary Clinton will become the next president of the United States. Both Trump and the Clintons know that the former can never be elected president and that if he, indeed, becomes the GOP nominee, Hillary is assured of winning all the electoral votes in the 50 states.

And that, exactly, is the plan all along.  This thing called Electiongate.

Now we know why Trump has been making all sorts of stupid, racist and ridiculous comments in the campaign trail.

It remains to be seen whether ‘Electiongate’ will be brought up by the FOX News moderators in Thursday’s debate.

REPUBLICANS PUSH NEW LAW TO PROTECT EMPLOYERS WHO FIRE SINGLE WOMEN FOR GETTING PREGNANT

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage in all of the U.S.,  Republicans are pushing legislation that aims to protect Americans who oppose these unions on religious grounds.

Believing that marriage is between one man and one woman  whose unions are for the sole purpose of procreation, Republican members of Congress are about to propose what they are calling theFirst Amendment Defense Actthat creates a license for employers to discriminate against, and fire women for getting pregnant outside of wedlock.

The bill specifically protects those who believe that marriage is between “one man and one woman” or that “sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage.” Ian Thompson, a legislative representative at the American Civil Liberties Union, said that in addition to targeting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, the bill “clearly encompasses discrimination against single mothers” and would hobble the ability of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal body that protects women from sex-based discrimination, to act.

The bill would, unfortunately, also discriminate against single women impregnated by married members of Congress. After all, the law applies to everyone. No exceptions.
