Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

 The wine class was so much fun last night and we tasted some exciting wines. Always love discovering new wines to enjoy with pasta or gamier dishes. Ferrari Carano Siena is a lovely blend that leads with Sangiovese. I definitely recommend trying it out. The world is not yet burning, but we're getting there. I've been seeing more and more desperation. But nights like last night give me hope. There are still good wines and good people out there.  Here are your highlights: Jobless claims increase . I look forward to the headlines saying "TRUMP ECONOMY IN SHAMBLES" Trump is not happy with Boeing. The new Air Force One planes aren't ready. I hope they rush the process.  News that will drive you to drink .  New cuts are hurting farmers, especially Black farmers .  Republicans want to cut Medicaid . This will hurt those with the least. Our neighbors. Our friends. Shameless.  Being a foreign policy nerd is tough these days. We have handed Putin everything he want...

 I teach a wine class tonight. It's a smaller group than normal and the organizers are chalking up to this awful weather. Oh well, we'll still have fun, laugh, and drink delicious juice! One great joy about teaching folks wine is that you always get a new question. A new tasting note. It's fun and unpredictable. It's the best. I love teaching.  Here are your highlights: Are we a democracy? The Supreme Court will weigh in . Don't hold onto your butts.  Trump is playing right into Putin's hands . Sorry, Ukraine. This is a monumental shift in American foreign policy and one that only a Putin stooge would back.  Gov. Pritzker to address the state of Illinois .  Rwanda-backed rebels aim for another city takeover. Department of FOAFI. DOGE has its sights on the Department of Defense . I wonder how much longer it'll take before there's a revolt. Musk is increasingly unpopular. Oh and a Nazi.  I am Frank Chow and I approve this message

 Ever wake up and have tons of pain?! Me neither. I lifted a coffee table up three flights of stairs on Sunday and let me tell you...I'm old. I'm in pain. Lots of pain. It hurts to type. Did I mention I'm old?! Anywho, thank you to all who protested yesterday. Every one of you did your thing. We have to resist. We have to push back. None of this is normal. Here are your highlights: Social Security head steps down cuz DOGE is da worst.  Delta flight crashes and ends up upside down on the runway. I don't remember one plane incident under Biden.  Broken Heart syndrome is a real thing.  Russia and the US are in talks about the war in Ukraine without Ukraine .  Firing federal employees willy-nilly is bad .  Why do Republicans hate disabled folks so much?  I am Frank Chow and I approve this message

Rough weather ahead. Cold beyond cold. Why did we move to Illinois?! I think I have seasonal depression. That's what I'm going with. It's too damn cold. It's too damn frigid. My feet always need warming. Damn you, Groundhog!  Here are your highlights: A fired National Park Ranger tells it like it is.  11 dead from a Kentucky storm .  Elon is illegal. Five people charged with murdering transgender man , Sam Norquist.  US is deporting African and Asian immigrants to Panama . Great job everyone. We did it.  Farmers are finding out.   I am Frank Chow and I approve this message

 My my my. Trump really can get away with crimes in the open. This Eric Adams thing would've taken down not only Nixon but also a Clinton, a Bush, or an Obama. Yet it only " raises questions ." Our media is complicit and we're in for a long four years. I will continue to call out the media and its bullshit. They wanted this. They did everything they could to bring Trump back. This is what they wanted.  Here are your highlights: Medicaid is on the chopping block so rich people can get a tax cut.  Yogurt is good for gut health and can help prevent cancer.   Mass deportations are terrible for the economy .  Now that RFK Jr is in charge of HHS. Get your shots. Get your vaccines. Bird Flu is coming .  Trump administration tries to erase trans folks from history .  Walz considering running for the Minnesota Senate seat . Do it. We need fighters.  I am Frank Chow and I approve this message

 Snow! It's everywhere. Still had to go to work though..bummer. We're looking at frigid temperatures in the upcoming weeks. NOT COOL GROUNDHOG. I'm tired of it. It really drains you to wake up and trudge through the weather. I should start working out. Nah, why do that? Here are your highlights: GOP is going to attack the most vulnerable . It's the cruelty.  EGGS! Remember all that whining about eggs? Guess it doesn't matter when Republicans are in charge. Never good when Nazis are gaining momentum in Germany. Trump hands Ukraine over to Putin . As expected. Trump has been and will always be a Russian asset.  DOGE has always been bullsht. HOWEVER, Elon the government parasite is getting a huge contract for armored Teslas . Totally makes sense to gut Medicaid we have bigger priorities like useless, poorly made, Teslas.  Asian-American clubs cut from West Point.  I am Frank Chow and I approve this message
