Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

This weekend I'm older. It's not a big to-do of a birthday, so I'm going to get dim sum, shop, and chill. Maybe I'll stop by the local speakeasy or just mow the lawn. I used to really believe that getting older would be this monumental event. That the shift from my 20s to my 30s would be seismic, and so on. Nope. I've always felt younger than my age. That might be part of it. Regardless, I will enjoy my time. No need to wallow in a number.  Here are your highlights:  Kash Patel is such a loser . He hands out bottles of customized Woodford Reserve.  Surprise! Jobs report, steady as it goes. What is the hantavirus?  I don't think I'm ever going on a cruise ship.  Two former Chinese Defense Ministers were given life sentences for corruption . Xi keeps his tight grip. Segregationists in Tennessee bully protesters .  When the FBI can attack on behalf of a president. They are no longer a viable and respectable organization. It's sickening what they did to VA S...

I hate hate RFK Jr . " In  a statement released Monday  by the Department of Health and Human Services, Kennedy announced 'action to confront our nation’s mental health crisis by addressing the overuse of psychiatric medications.” I have been taking antidepressants for years, and they've been life-altering. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and ADHD. It's been a constant struggle in my life. I wake up and can't get out of bed, I oversleep, I overstimulate, I can't go outside, etc. It isn't some conspiracy or lack of trying. I am clinically depressed. RFK Jr.'s lack of empathy is the problem. Not SSRIs. Fuck him.  Here are your highlights:  Iran says it's opening the Strait of Hormuz .  FRAUD! Republicans screamed. While also taking away SNAP benefits from the poor .  Another bang-up job by RFK Jr. and his ilk. Babies are dying because parents are refusing to give their kids a shot.   I'm ashamed I ever donated to John Fetterman .  Astron...

 My oldest went to the ER last night. I'm discombulated. She's okay, but anytime any of them gets injured or has a scare, it's overwhelming. They are my entire world. You never want to see your kid in pain. I can't imagine what the people of Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran are going through. I don't want to, which is why I mention this. The lack of empathy of the "Department of War", the president, and Republicans is sociopathic. It's so abhorrent. So, so, so I don't have the words.  Here are your highlights:  But Democrats are the Extremists .  The fumble of hosting the World Cup will be studied for decades .  Can Democrats win in Ohio?  Hey, being a Nazi is bad! NYC synagogues and residences vandalized with swastikas .  AI sued in Pennsylvania for fake doctor bots .  Is Hong Kong the next Silicon Valley?  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

It's Asian American Heritage Month! To kick it off, how about some WAsian music? Yes, I know she's Icelandic, but she lives in LA and went to Berklee College of Music. Our kids love Laufey, and her sound is a lovely chill throwback. Plus, what a fun video with Asian representation. I'll try to showcase talents and remind y'all that Asians kick ass. And if you didn't notice the Asian-AMERICAN part of this video that sticks out is none other than Alysa Liu, GOLD MEDAL FIGURE SKATER FROM THE BAY.  Here are your highlights:  The Forced Birth crowd gets another win. Mifepristone restricted .  13 injured in Oklahoma Lake Party  shooting.  I can't wait for Sen. Fetterman to get the FET out of the Senate .  DRAIN THE SWAMP .  The Southern States are Segregationists . And they aren't afraid to gerrymander to show it.  China blocks US Sanctions . The Chinese are increasingly defying teh Trump.  I am Frank Chow, and I approved this message. 

 Happy Taurus Month! Or something like that. I turn one year older this month, and I probably reflect more on my last year. I won't do that today. I'll spare you the Noah Kahan lyrics of it all, for now. This weekend, I'm headed to a local festival to promote local plants, clean energy, and getting outside. One thing I will share about my last year is that touching grass can be life-altering. Hiking has become my favorite escape from this world we're living in. Even if I spend parts of it cursing the Trump administration and its terrible actions.  Here are your highlights:   May Day Shut Down . Unions have had enough.  Endless war. Republicans, the cucks, defer to Trump on Iran War.   There's an Epstein suicide note, held by his cellmate, and the DOJ left that out .  Trump's running out of Surgeon General nominees . Next one up!  What is happening in shipping waters is "dangerous". From Hormuz to Panama to the South China Sea .  Something to brigh...

 Roberts has gotten his way. His long desire to gut the Voting Rights Act is over . Allowing Alito to write the opinion only speaks to Roberts brazen cowardness. You see, racism is over. It's been over. "Why can't teh blacks and minorities move on?" I'm not surprised. The Court and the Republican Party have been clear that they are Segregationists. Many people will continue to write more eloquently about this ruling, but let's be clear: the court has declared multi-racial democracy dead. Kagan dissents .  Here are your highlights:  Jerome Powell is staying . Despite his questionable tenure, this is funny.  The cruelty is the point. 400,000 people with disabilities could lose benefits .  Since living in Central Illinois, gas prices have been the highest I can remember . This morning it was $4.69. Where's all that "Biden did that" energy for Trump?  Janet Mills drops out. It seemed inevitable. I'm still not sold on Platner. Israel kills 9 in L...
