Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

 Iran has objectively won the war. Twice Trump has tried, and twice he has failed. There's a lesson here that he has never learned in his life. Big things go boom does not mean "we win." It'll be Trump's lasting legacy, an embarrassment that exposes the limitations of America's war chest. Maybe next time, don't fire all the "DEI" generals.  Here are your highlights: The Trump FCC is going after ABC/Disney. Cuz Kimmel hurt Trump's fee fees.  OpenAI is getting sued by the Tumbler Ridge victims.   Panama Canal - China has detained 70 ships .  Two stabbed in London in an antisemitic attack .  Misinformation fuels backlash towards Solar . We see this in our town too. It's idiotic.  Is the internet dead? AI is making more slop websites.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 Welp. Tornadoes are plentiful this year. We had to shelter at work, and then last night I was in my basement. The storms were storming. Luckily, our rural town wasn't hit, but nearby was. I don't think I'll ever get used to the sirens. They're so loud and terrifying. Does anyone have any tips? I was without power for over an hour. I had flashlights, but no way to communicate with folks. Gotta figure out a better backup plan.  Here are your highlights: Homework, what is it good for?   Florida is going to be an experiment about what happens when stupid takes over .  The Trump administration wants everyone to get cancer from Roundup .  Oil . The sooner we move to renewables, the better.  Is the AI bubble here? OpenAI struggles .  ICE is going after Cubans in Florida .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

Well, I'm tired. I hiked over 6 miles yesterday, and I'm feeling it today. The weather was lovely, the bugs were plenty, and I managed to not trip on my own two feet. It's the small wins. It's easier to forget what a shithole country we are when you can hike through nature. Head down. Onward. Forward.  Here are your highlights: White House Correspondence Dinner shooter . What we know.  Not surprising. Most Americans hate the war in Iran .  DeSantis makes a move to counter Virginia maps .  Prediction markets are going to have their day .  An O.C. actor makes a damning documentary about Crypto.   Rumors are about. ICE is coming to Champaign.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 It's marathon weekend here. To those participating, we salute you. It's something I'll never do, so yeah, kudos. My marathon would be playing Tetris for 24 hours straight or something like that. I was never a runner. This weekend I'm planning on hiking locally. It's been quite a week, and I need to touch grass. Something about a hike is relaxing. Enjoy your weekend, folks!  Here are your highlights:   The Lebanese State is done with Hezbollah .  Welp, that didn't take long. Special Forces soldier busted for betting on Maduro's capture .  Solar backlash . I see this all the time in our local Facebook forum. Rural folks hate solar for no good reason.  Paramount takeover and a huge threat in Hollywood . Fuckin' rich people.  The Federal job cuts hurt black women the most .  China stages naval drills near the Philippines .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 It's time for Democrats to be more partisan. Enough of this "friends across the aisle" crap. "Both sides." Just state it clearly: the Republican Party is terrible for our economy, for our safety, and for our civil rights. They want to return to segregation and continue to take your hard-earned money and give it to the 1%. Elected Republicans aren't your friends, guys. No real friend shakes your hand and then passes anti-trans bills. No real friends shakes your hand and cuts SNAP. No real friends shakes your hand and eliminates US AID, leaving thousands to die. Be partisan.  Here are your highlights:  Virginia Republican activist judge blocks new redistricting .  Our healthcare system is a joke. Patients are struggling to get obesity coverage .  Senate Republicans move to fund ICE . NoT YOur FrIEnDs.  Wildfires hit Georgia as the state faces a drought .  The corruption is the point.  Eric Trump needs to be in jail.  Kash Patel is a bumbling i...

 I've been on a reading kick of late. Mostly science fiction and fantasy. I am currently reading Project Hail Mary, Shadow and Bone, and Mistborn. I don't think I've ever engaged in one book at a time, but this year I'm all over the place, so it suits me. If you have any recommendations, comment below. I will be done with these books soon and would like to keep the momentum going.  Here are your highlights:  Virginia, my home state, does the right thing . Redistricting!  Kash Patel is such a loser. But he's "never been intoxicated on the job." Separation of Church and State . Not a thing apparently... Justice Clarence Thomas hates progressivism, and he hates you, you stupid anti-American scum . He's also terrible at giving speeches and is historically ignorant.  CPAC and Hungary. Time to investigate.  The very American death of Prince. Prince could only have died in America . We miss his genius. 10 years later, and it still hurts.  I am Frank Chow, an...
