Get Your Dunkin' Friday

 It's Friday, we made it. We did it. We also witnessed the most bizarre speech by the first lady . Bringing up the Epstein files when the Iran War has been the main focus was a choice. What the what? The timing is, as the kids say, "sus." Is something dropping? Will new files be released? Who knows? But as Trump continues to lose his mind, it's an awfully weird thing to happen. This administration is one long car crash. I, for one, want to jump out of the car.  Here are your highlights:  Betting on wars , cuz fuck the dead.  ChatGPT and the chilling connection to mass shooters and violence .  Artemis II is on its way home . I sound like a little kid when I talk about this mission. It's been such a bright spot sharing the experience with my kids. Hope isn't bad even in these times.  ICE is still terrorizing innocent people. They must be stopped and defunded.  I was told the election of Trump was about the economy. If so, he sucks, and everyone who vote...

 Not really a ceasefire when Israel can commit more war crimes and take out over 200 people in Lebanon . At this point, it is safe to say Israel played Trump, read the war with Iran wrong, and is not worried about any consequences. They seem to have an expansionist mindset. Slowly pushing out their territory and using Trump to supply cover, but also bombs. This doesn't absolve Trump whatsoever. He's a bloodthirsty autocrat. And a sundowning old man whose idea of masculinity is blowing things up good. I apologize on behalf of all the stupid Americans who voted for him. We're under the eye of a lunatic.  Here are your highlights:  Pam Jo Bondi needs to be held accountable . We can't let this administration get away unscathed.  North Korea says it's testing ballistic missiles with cluster bombs .  Updated list of endangered species due to Climate Change .  I don't think Airline companies like their customers. And they definitely don't understand how folks trav...

 TACO, BURRITO, WE DON'T WANT NO CHEETO! TACO! Although the latter would have been catastrophic and a war crime...so here we are, with an administration that caved to Iran. I've seen conflicting reports on what the "ceasefire" entails, so I'll refrain from commenting until it's clear. Nevertheless, Trump's deranged war is paused for now. This is a good thing for the people of Iran. May peace prevail.  Here are your highlights: Dem Judge wins in Wisconsin , strengthening the liberal majority.  The way Wall St. reacts to Trump needs to be studied. Oil prices plunge, stocks go up .  Fuck those Buffaloes .  Artemis II has been a bright spot in our dismal world. They are set to splash down on Friday .  Super El Niño . What's a FEMA? One thing is evergreen about Republicans: they hate their constituents. West Virginia Governor vetoes help for the neglected and foster care kids while giving tax cuts to the rich .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message....

 One of my biggest fears when Trump first took office was his access to our nuclear arsenal. People called me hyperbolic, yet here we are in a war with Iran, that no one wanted, and he's threatening that a "whole civilization will die tonight." Trump is obsessed with carnage. He's obsessed with bombs, the way it makes him look masculine, and Iran is making him look like a cuck. I don't pray often, but I'm praying I'm wrong.  Here are your highlights:  Taiwan's opposition leader arrives in China .  Death panels, but for real this time .  Vance goes to Hungary . The Right has such love for authoritarians.  Democrats, wake up, don't compromise on Trans Rights .  Betting on wars .  Southeast Asia's coming food crisis .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

 The Illini fell short. It was a battle, and despite their abysmal three-point shooting, they fought until the end. It was quite the run. The town was ablaze. Rooting for this team was easy. Young star in the making, an NBA All-Star's kid, a transfer from my alma mater, and a local kid. It was fun to watch, share in their achievements, and believe the impossible could happen. I can't wait until next year. I L L.  Here are your highlights:  In Lebanon, more than 50 medics have been killed by Israel . Say war crimes, Booker.  Like a scene from a movie, the airman who was shot down has been rescued .  The Private Credit Cartels .  Crimes are good and just when they're done by Republicans. Steve Bannon to walk .  Artemis crew to see the Dark Side of the Moon .  Trying on clothes virtually? AI might help retailers with returns .  Iran rejects a ceasefire . Trump is in a pickle...will he "rain" bombs on Iran? Or will he capitulate? Time is up....

 Anytime Republicans are in charge of the economy, they wreck it. Liberation Day will go down as one of the biggest failures in recent memory. A much-yelled-about, but ultimately useless move that has set the US Economy behind for maybe decades. The war with Iran is only making it worse. My only hope is that folks will realize EVs are important to our future... however, my rural neighbors will likely be among the last to adopt them. Revving their engines as they scream MAGA out of their windows. Good Friday, y'all.  Here are your highlights:  The Pope doesn't like Hegseth using God for his war in Iran.  Saturday is Illini day. First Final Four appearance in 21 years . I L L!  AOC leads the way, no aid for Israel .  IRGC threatens to hit data centers next .  It really is amazing we're headed towards the moon. I know we're not all aboard. We science geeks and kids who grew up on Space Camp, seeing the Artemis II rocket toward the moon, find it specia ...

 Endless war. Endless wars. Republicans can't help themselves. And Trump, as many predicted, is already getting bored. I refused to watch, but the reviews were not good. I wonder if Jake Tapper will call for Trump to resign, step down, or retire? Nooo, didn't think so. Just more needless deaths in Iran, Lebanon, and Gaza. How about those gas prices, huh?  Here are your highlights:  Making Veterans homeless, so rich folks can have tax cuts.  Pam Bondi on the chopping block? I am LAUGHING.  Relief for diabetics, new bill to lower insulin costs . This is a no-brainer.  Trump really screwed up royally. UK-led coalition to meet to free up the Strait of Hormuz .  Rural voter here. I cannot say "I told you so" enough to American farmers .  Hong Kong bookstore staff arrested for selling Jimmy Lai's biography . China continues to squash dissent.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.
