Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

 I hope everyone had a lovely Memorial Day weekend. We enjoyed a hang with new friends, and I did the age-old tradition of caring for my lawn. Summer has officially begun, and it began with chaos. Ever drive 30 minutes only to find out it's the wrong place? Just me? Cool cool. All is well. Kiddos are at camp. Crisis averted.  Here are your highlights:  Violence in the Congo over the Ebola outbreak .  Unknown Soldiers: The Pentagon can identify thousands, but they haven't .  Bombs away! Live updates on the never-ending Iran War .  ICE agents pepper-sprayed Sen. Andy Kim . An organization filled with thugs.  The Federal Courts just said, " Alabama, you STILL hella racist ." Learn something new every day. Don't recycle plastic bags in the recycling bin .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 This weekend is always tough for me. My mom passed away Memorial Day weekend. Or that's how I remember it. It was over 25 years ago, and yet I can still hear my grandmother cry in anguish. The color of the walls in the hotel when we received the news. My untied tie. The tears. The hugs. The wish to say goodbye. So, all these years later, I will donate to organizations my mom would've loved. I'll pack up clothes that no longer spark joy and donate them. And I will hold our kids ever tighter. Grief is weird like that. You never know when it will come back around.  Here are your highlights:   Democrats need to expand the court . It has to be part of the platform.  Batteries. Batteries will make the energy crisis boring .  Who died when Elon Musk killed USAID?   I thought the election was about the economy. Then why did so many elect the worst to run the economy into the ground?   It seems like Trump wants China to attack Taiwan .  The Broadview Six ...

 Everything is in service of Dear Leader. The Republican Party is a cult dedicated to Donald Trump, of all fuckin people. A man, any sane human, would gladly tell off. A despicable, sad sack of excrement. A dude so incapable of doing his job that he sleeps on it. Yet, if you stand up to him. You lose. MAGA is a cult, and if you have a primary kiss the ring. Or face the consequences. The midterms will be very interesting because there are sane voters out there. And as Trump continues to tank in the polls, they will show up. Will it be enough?  Here are your highlights:   Israel likes to say they don't enjoy killing and abusing dissent. Ben-Gvir said, "Hold my beer." The Ballroom Backlash . Republicans might table the funds for the ballroom.  ICE Agent surrenders to Minnesota authorities . MORE! I'm sorry. I'm over it. Swing voters are just stupid and ignorant people .  RFK Jr.'s entire schtick is making life easier for insurance companies .  Police sue DOJ o...

 I'd like to believe. I'd like to have optimism. HOWEVER, the way the Southern states reacted to SCOTUS gutting the Voting Rights Act has me down bad. SCOTUS basically said, "Do your worst." And the Southern states have acted accordingly. They saw that they were going to lose the midterms and rigged the system in a white supremacist way. It is an act of desperation as Trump is so unpopular that he might as well be the plague, yet last night Republicans showed they still kiss his ring. It has me nervous. Will Republicans call the election off? Challenge even the widest margins? Six months is a long time for them to plot.  Here are your highlights:   Bolivia is under siege. Chaos at the capital.  The Trump slush fund needs to be investigated the moment Dems get the gavel.  Asians Behaving Badly. Steven Cheung is a prick .  Cuba is the next mark . Can we do two wars at once?  Climate Change - Kansas farmers face possibly the worst crop since 1972 ....

 Summer is almost here. The kids are out of school on Friday. I'd say I'm excited, but then the summer crazies hit. Which camp? Where to drop off? Who is doing what? It's all chaotic. Any parent will attest that summer is fun. We'd also say the lack of help or the lack of providers is stressful. We end school and are like, "Parents, good luck!" I get vacation time. I don't get enough vacation time for summer. So to those fellow parents out there, good luck!  Here are your highlights:  Bessent grovels at the G7 conference for allies to go after Iran's finances.  Israel continues to ethnically cleanse Palestinians .  Shooting in San Diego at an Islamic Center . Police are treating it as a hate crime.  Nobody does it quite like JD Vance . Vote them out!  Minnesota to prosecute ICE Agents .  Prayers up. (if that's what you do) An American doctor tests positive for Ebola .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

As the US and Iran continue to "negotiate" over the war, it's good to know that Europe is on the edge of an oil crisis. I can't think of a bigger self-own in modern presidential history. Trump has not only made Americans miserable at the pump, but also everyone. Everywhere. All at once. He doesn't care. Heck, he might even start the war back up for funsies. Something tells me this isn't what the Founders had in mind... Here are your highlights: The 250th anniversary celebration in DC is turning out to be a White Christian Nationalist Rally . The very antithesis of America.  House Oversight Committee to interview Epstein guards .  "Cuba has drones!" - I guess this is the next play. Starve Cubans, then war, then what? Asteroid, please hit us . You're our only hope.  Ebola outbreak in the Congo and Uganda. WHO declares an emergency .  MAGA is upset with Trump cuz CHINESE STUDENTS ARE BAD . This is too funny.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this mes...
