Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

 Spain won! They did it. Although it did take quite some time for them to figure it out. Every time they showed the Orange Menace, the brewpub booed. It was awesome. No one likes him. And then, like a proper idiot, he didn't get out of the way when Spain was celebrating. You can't make this shit up. It was, despite the obvious, a great World Cup with a third-place match for the ages. It's amazing how many people came together, got along, and enjoyed SOCCER.  Here are your highlights:   The ex-wife of the ICE agent who killed a man in Maine had a violent streak .  RIP. Two service members were killed by Iran strikes .  Trump administration is considering cutting off Chinese AI .  Iceberg Lettuce recall hits 27 states .  Police use tear gas on protesters in India; the Cockroach movement is real .  It was smoky here yesterday . The air quality wasn't great. But it's not Canada's fault, and Trump is a moron.  I am Frank Chow, and  I approve ...

 As the world burns, a demented man keeps talking about a conspiracy theory on live TV. No facts. No evidence. It's been six years. You'd think there'd be someone to tell him to drop it. But they won't because this is part of their plan. Make folks believe elections are rigged. The system is rigged. The system is against them. Then rig the elections. Authoritarian playbook.  Here are your highlights: The Iran War is still going, and it's not going well .  The Only Research Center for Disabled Parents is Losing Funding.  Who is Andy Burnham? Xenophobic jerks. Trump administration tightens rules for student visas.   Scientists discover faint new planet after a decade of hiding .  Ban all betting apps. Ban Kalshi and Polymarket. Stop insider trading. For Fuck's Sake .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 I don't know what to say about that England v. Argentina game. Other than Tuchel Tactics suck. When he managed Bayern Munich, he did the same thing: parked the bus. The England players deserved better. Credit to Messi and Argentina; they kept attacking. It was a thrilling end. Now we have a final between Spain and Argentina, one that I think Spain has to be the favorite. They look to be the more consistent squad.  Here are your highlights: Trump wants to wall off part of Lafayette Park . Mussolini stuff.  The new Tornado Alley is Illinois, Indiana, and Tennessee . Great.  MyPillow Minnesota .  This was avoidable. Our leaders have failed us. Canadian wildfires lower air quality in the Midwest and the Northeast .  America is so great. More people favor China over the US now .  Pelosi backs bill to stop Israel military aid . This is a welcome surprise.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

 England or Argentina? Can two teams lose? Is it possible that both teams forfeit? I would hope so. Alas, we're rooting for England even though Harry Kane played golf with Trump. After watching Kane's "Hot Ones" interview, it's clear he's an idiot. Not particularly interesting or inquisitive, so it makes sense he played golf with Trump, idiots like idiots. We do love us some Jude, though.  Here are your highlights:  Kagan and Barrett's weird time in front of Congress.   Ebola is spreading in the Congo faster than expected .  Daylight Saving Time Permanent?  Senate Dems block Defense bill over Iran War .  Hey, we told y'all. Musk likely broke the law with checks for voters .  Todd Blanche isn't qualified to be the Attorney General .  I am Frank Chow, and I approved this message. 

 The World Cup continues today. I wrote about this before, but it's really fucked up that every four years we're reminded of how racism is still rampant in the world . Kylian Mbappé shouldn't have to make a statement every single time. Yet he does with grace and eloquence. There are few sports stars with his ability to convey kindness. So, what I'm saying is, I hope France beats Spain and beats them to a pulp.  Here are your highlights:  ICE must be stopped . ICE shot and killed a man in Maine. And it wasn't the guy they were looking for.  "The Trojan Teddy Bear" A.I. - Artificial Intelligence .  Some good news. Alzheimer's Drug shows promising results .  Trump hates science. Vought makes science worse .  IBM has its worst stock day ever .  The occupation of Washington, D.C. will continue . The way the media has normalized this is wild. Trump should be asked why daily. They've already had incidents. They don't make the city any safer. And it...

 I was always taught not to speak ill of the dead. But...Lindsey Graham died unexpectedly, and many have things to say . He won't be missed, and his legacy is set. A suck-up to the worst president in our history. A guy "who knew better" and chose the path of fascism. One less awful person in the Senate, likely to be replaced by another awful person. Let history remember him for who he was.  Here are your highlights:  100 million to be under dangerous heat . Israeli settlers attack journalists on the anniversary of the killing of Saif Musallet .  It wouldn't be a World Cup without racism .  Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies. Sam Neill's acting was incredible . The moment he sees a live dinosaur is an acting masterclass. RIP.  Higher grocery costs are creating a household debt problem .  The Reflecting Pool has become an apt metaphor for the Trump administration. They have to drain it again.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message....
