Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

 We might have a weekend of decent weather. Time to touch grass! To the people of Minnesota, we see you. We know ICE is still harassing folks. They're relentless. If you can, donate through  Stand with Minnesota .  Here are your highlights: Four people lift off to the International Space Station .  Mexico might lose its measles elimination status .  Russell Vought stole US AID funds to use for security . What an asshole.  Our taxpayer dollars are funding private prisons that sexually assault immigrants .  Another aircraft carrier has been sent to the Middle East .  Epstein's connection to higher ed, Columbia under fire again .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

The passing of James Van Der Beek has me a bit heartbroken. I grew up on Dawson's Creek. Our friends would skip the cafeteria and watch VHS episodes in our drama class. The show was like a soap opera to us. We'd quote it. We'd laugh about it. And we'd anticipate each new episode. Dawson, like me, was a filmmaker, wide-eyed and naive. Later in his career, James explored his comedic chops, and it was delightful. The guy had a knack for comedic timing. On social media, he shared his journey in Texas and his growing family. It was always with a philosophical hint. The guy loved his family and loved life. RIP, you'll be missed, Dawson.  Here are your highlights:   Some good news? Tom Homan says ICE in Minnesota is coming to an end . I'll believe it when I see it.  Pam Bondi is a vile human being .  I'm starting to think our Navy is made up of idiots .  This Winter Olympics will be tainted. Disqualifying a Ukranian athelete for his helmet .  Gallup will no longe...

 I have a gut feeling Trump is going to try to wag the dog again. After kidnapping, Maduro didn't work; he's gonna try something else. He's the "peace" president after all. The Epstein files aren't going away, ICE is unpopular, the economy isn't doing great, and his DOJ is failing left and right. Unless they really shield him from any bad news, he's gonna lose it and then attack someone or something. He can't help himself.  Here are your highlights:  Speaking of wag the dog. Are we going to invade Mexico? The Fulton County raid was based on long-debunked conspiracies .  Russia is still attacking Ukraine and killing families .  Massie and Khanna are an odd pair. But they have released six names of men who very well could be co-conspirators with Epstein .  Nine people were killed in a school shooting in Canada . Tragic. Sending love to our Canadian friends.  ICE is still in Minnesota . It's good that Olympic athletes are speaking up.  I am Frank ...

 Another day, another day, the Trump administration covers for the Epstein files. It's become apparent we're dealing with the greatest and dumbest cover-up in our nation's history. Nixon would blush. Rep. Raskin confirmed as much yesterday. The administration is trying to protect Trump; his name is in the files more than Jesus in the Bible, and other power players. I really don't care who's in the files, just release it and then let the fuckers burn. But the more they delay, the wilder theories become. The latest is that Roseanne was right; they were eating babies. Have fun with that rabbit hole.  Here are your highlights :  It's not about crime. Fewer than 14% of those arrested by ICE have criminal records .  Illinois celebrates Route 66 .  High winds cause thousands to lose power in Hawaii .  How does Howard Lutnuts have a job?  Retail sales were flat  in December. This is Trump's economy, and it's not great.  Ring is going to spy. Ri...

 The Super Bowl happened. I fell asleep. I didn't have a team to root for, but I'm glad the Seahawks won, so Kraft can suffer. Bad Bunny peformed and the audience didn't catch on fire and go to hell. It seems Trump and MAGA are flailing. Trump is losing it . I'm not sure what another three years brings us, but the more that man suffers, the better off we are. Let's hope for more Bad Bunny and less Trump.  Here are your highlights:  Landslide in Japan . Conservative agenda comes next.  Iran has launched a campaign to arrest dissenters .  Big Tech and Epstein .  Dr. Oz tells folks to take the measles vaccine . We're living in the dumbest timeline.  Elon Musk has figured it out? Going to Mars and starting a colony was never a viable option .  Killing public education for kids . The Trump legacy.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

I'd like to say something about the Epstein files that conservatives seem to be missing: WE DON'T CARE. Whoever is in the files, take them down. We don't care if they're Democrats, Presidents, CEOs, or Big Bird. Put them on trial, send them to the Hague, let them rot. As the Right continues to do mental gymnastics around the Great Orange Menace's involvement with Epstein, it's become clear they're close to waving away the magnitude of the crimes. Soon, we'll hear them say it was consensual. That the girls asked for it. That they were complicit. There is no low bar for these folks. Happy Friday!  Here are your highlights:  I've long said that the biggest mistake Democrats made after Obama left office was not naming everything after him. Welp, Trump wants Penn Station and Dulles named after him in exchange for funding .  US v. China - Panama Canal edition .  I thought we were impeaching Noem. She's now going after the family of a 5-year-old .  Shut...
