Get Your Dunkin' Monday

I had an unfortunate accident this weekend. My youngest was following me down the stairs and tripped; she then fell on my legs, knocking me down the stairs. She's kind of a klutz. I tumbled down the stairs and immediately had back spasms. This morning they continued. I'm due for an MRI, so I guess...good timing? I'm in pain. I'm frustrated. I'm tired. But I've been here before. Maybe a third back surgery will be the charm.  Here are your highlights:   Nearly 50 people have died in a 7.4 earthquake in Colombia .  It's clear Bibi owns Trump; he rejected Trump's Gaza plan .  After 30 years, 2Pac's murder trial begins.  I grew up during the height of the East Coast West Coast rivalry. Dating myself, but this case will hopefully bring some closure.  AOC is playing into the Right's BS about cancel culture .  Tehran says "no military solution" to Hormuz reopening .  Speaking of Iran. US Petroleum reserves are the lowest they've been since ...

 In Trump's mind, this is the best economy ever. He brags that everything is going great! He's doing great. His kids are doing great. Their corruption has made them billions. Yet, the economy itself is blah. The most recent jobs report is a bit muddy , but the headlines read " Employers cut 23,000 jobs ." That's not a good look, and with gas prices high due to his stupid, idiotic war in Iran, he looks even more delusional.  Here are your highlights:  Sen. Lisa Murkowski has discovered her spine . She's a "no" on Blanche.  Israel has a chance to oust Bibi, but the alternative isn't much better. Don't believe the Gadi Eisenkot Hype .  The shadiest administration. Trump wants to privatize the TSA, turning it over to companies like Palantir.   Chinese AI models ALSO escaped in an attempt to cheat . We're screwed.  Annual Chicago Duck Derby drops 90,000 rubber duckies into the river . It's okay; it's a fundraiser for the Special Olymp...

I've got an odd confession: I love watching "Walking Tour" videos of Chinese cities. It's a place I'll likely never be able to visit because I support Hong Kong. And I've written many blogs about the country's corruption. Nevertheless, I enjoy the quiet walkabouts. There's something so interesting about their city layouts, the crowds, and the random things, like having a ski slope indoors. Anyone else watch these walking tours?  Here are your highlights:   GOP launches FAKE NEWS! sites .  Good news. Cambodia becomes the first Asian nation to hit HIV mark .  Bomb armed drone found near Ukrainian plane at a German airport.  Rep. Chuck Edwards drops his reelection bid. All the Republicans are scumbags .  New mRNA flu vaccine coming this fall .  Todd Blanche should not be confirmed. He has promised to ban abortion in every state .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

Get Your Dunkin' Wednesday

 We got kind of a mixed bag from yesterday's primaries. It does look like El-Sayed won. Cori Bush's attempt to win her seat back failed. One thing is for certain: the Democratic leadership needs to wake up. I said this previously: people want fighters. The standard Dem candidate has to stand up to this administration and its corruption. They have to care about Gaza, healthcare, and the economy. Shit ain't right, and if you don't see that, get out.  Here are your highlights:   Coal kills people. Black lung cases on the rise .  Russian strikes kill 17 in Ukraine . I thought this war was done on day one?  The cover-up of all cover-ups. Sen. Wyden reports banks let Epstein move money at will .  Claude goes rogue .  Welp. Bye, bye Madden. EA purchased by Kushner and Saudis .  Support our troops . ICE has detained more than 50 military spouses and parents.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

Get Your Dunkin' Tuesday

 I was talking with a co-worker today, and they were baffled by our Idiocracy. Between anti-vax, gas prices, MAGA, MAHA, etc., we're really dealing with a bunch of idiots. RFK Jr. has a cooking show, Rubio is "running" Venezuela, and Hegseth is wasting away every missile in our arsenal. Just a bunch of idiots. We're dealing with dumb villains. I don't know what's worse, Trump or the group of sycophants he has at his disposal.  Here are your highlights:   Happy Primary Day!  I might be in the minority here, but I don't think it's centrists v. leftists. I think it's more about fighter vs. pacifist. People want someone they think can fight this regime.  This is not surprising. Man arrested on suspicion of arson in Washington .  Rep. Max Miller is so much of a psycho even Trump is wary.  The AI Bailout could be baked into the AI Bubble .  Palestine is still on my mind. Palestinians hold mass funeral for more than 100 bodies .  How the mosquito i...

Off today

Get Your Dunkin' Friday

 I'm off today and Monday doing home things. A lot going on! Data Center rage is real. People hate them. No one is sure what they're for, and it's uniting right and left. In our small town, there's a big anti-data center push because this is exactly the kind of place you put a data center. Meanwhile, Sam Altman continues to be the worst of the wors t. Someone should regulate these CEOs soon! Here are your highlights :  The Right's MAGA Barbie  of the WNBA.  Colin Gray, father of a school shooter, sentenced to 15 years .   The Michigan Primary is the most expensive ever . I still think El-Sayed wins.  What could go wrong? San Francisco company offers robots for cleaning services .  60,000 migrants crossed into Spanish territory, causing chaos .  Todd Blanche should never be confirmed . As his nomination is on "hold", it shows the Trump grip on the Republican Party might be weakening. Also, where's Mitch?! I am Frank Chow, and I approve this me...
