Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

  The New York Times is not your friend . They released a "scandal" about the elections in Alaska. Basically, Democrats did what Republicans always do; they fought dirty. Democrats found Dan Sullivan to confuse voters about Sen. Dan Sullivan. It's within the rules. It's no different than previous efforts by Republicans, like getting Cornel West to run. And good for Alaskan Dems. Trump, of course, called it fraud. But to be honest, if Republicans are this worried about Alaska, that means they're in big trouble. Rightfully so. Here are your highlights:  Utah charges Kalshi with felonies for illegal gambling .  SAD - Seasonal Affective Disorder is real. How to get through it .  MAHA is getting people killed. Now they're releasing peptide nonsense with a shady lack of regulation .  The Deeper Affordability Crisis . Even though we got some decent economic news today, it's worth looking under the hood. 'Cause damn, folks, AI can't make gas prices go down...

 Tuesday can't come soon enough. We need results. We need to hold this administration to account. Democrats need to keep their foot on the pedal. What other clichés should I use?! The more I talk to friends, the more I hear about their frustrations. It's gas prices. It's groceries. It's data centers. It's corruption. Everyone is fed up. Let's fuckin go.  Here are your highlights:  Brazil loser Flavio Bolsonaro is getting a visa . So America now harbors international criminals.  Corruption is the point. Voters are noticing Trump's crypto deals .  Uncertainty in Israel elections .  Every Republican is a creep. Tennessee State Senator sent nudes during his "youth." Vivek is a dirtbag. He might now lose his bid for governor .  MAGA CBS isn't working out. We all knew Bari Weiss was a terrible choice; 60 Minutes used to be reliable . It can no longer be trusted.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 We're almost there. As the leaves change and fall, we're that much closer to the midterms. It's a week away, and what we hope will happen has to happen. People have to vote. People have to resist (I know, cringe). People need to say enough. This place is worth saving. This place is worth fighting for. No matter how hard it gets, we've got to fight back, and it starts at the polls. Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck Republicans. Fuck every white supremacist. We've been dealing with this crap since before I was born. Get out and vote.  Here are your highlights:   Dems release more Epstein files . Trump is the grossest president ever.  Please, please regulate Polymarket .  Melania's peace deal has led to another Russian attack on Ukraine , killing one and injuring 15.  Israel votes; Netanyahu is in a tight race . But...after seeing some interviews, Israel's youth are disturbingly right-wing.  Anthropic to go public . Will the bubble burst?  Trump has deformed ...

 I had to take off Friday blogging cuz of life stuff. This weekend we went on a hike to raise awareness for land conservation in Central Illinois. It was a fun activity, but the longest I've hiked since having my appendix removed. I'm a bit sore. I did complete it, and then the kiddos got to paint pumpkins. It was a bye week for my Commanders, so we tuned out football, played games, chilled, and got some needed rest.  Here are your highlights:   Lula gets the win in Brazil . Great news considering the alternative.  In disturbing news, the EPA is quietly erasing its web archive of information . Cuz, ya know, chemtrails!  Serbia takes down its authoritarian leader . Led by a student movement, ya hear that, US students?! (shakes fist, now get off my lawn) Fugggg. Sudan drones are causing a civilian crisis .  More midterms fuckery by Blanche in Alaska .  I know Americans have collectively given up on gun legislation. Democrats need to lead. Thoughts and pr...

 The violence in the West Bank by settlers is awful . Hearing the stories. Watching the videos. It seems to me that calling them "settlers" is being too kind. They're occupying terrorists. Attacking reporters, shooting Palestinians. These are young men who seem almost groomed to cause chaos. The entitlement is truly sick. This isn't sustainable. It's inhumane. The next Dem president will have so much work to do to change relations with Israel and stop this occupation.  Here are your highlights:  Impeach Musk? Not sure that's possible, but he must be tried.  Don't let the door hit you on the way out! Durbin says he would let the next Trump SCOTUS nominee go through .  Almost all coral reef systems could collapse in 50 years .  Your Fall Vaccine Guide . RFK Jr. eats lie carcass.  New Mexico sues Epstein's lawyer and accountant .  I thought we had enough movies warning us about AI making war decisions. Militaries are offloading major decisions to AI...

 "Russia, Russia, Russia!" "Russian Hoax!" We've heard this for a decade, and you know what? We were fuckin right. As Trump's lackey calls Putin a "humanitarian," we watch children die in Ukraine. We read about Musk cutting off access to Starlink to Ukraine. We see Vance tell Zelensky he should be grateful. And then there's the withholding of essential defense. It is no question now that US policy is anti-democratic, pro-Russia. And it's one of the great betrayals of our lifetime.  Here are your highlights:   Vivek is an Asian behaving badly . He used his opponent's trauma for an ad.  So if you don't believe Climate Change is real, you can just destroy the world .  Voter fraud isn't a thing . DOJ detains people who were born in the U.S.  Hey! I don't think losing $80 billion is a good business model . Looking at you, Anthropic.  Web code has critical vulnerabilities .  If you have enough money to fight a tax on billionaires...
