Get Your Dunkin' Thursday

 A tornado touched down near our home Tuesday. It was really close. The debris. The damage. It's something I've never seen before. Luckily, everyone we know is okay. The trees look like they exploded. I drove slowly around downed wires. Folks were without power for over 18 hours. Some still are. Climate Change is here. And we have an administration that denies it. That refuses to give relief funds to states that didn't vote for the Orange Menace. We're okay and safe. Today or tomorrow might not be the same.  Here are your highlights:  The war in Iran is mentally draining our service members . Some have tried to literally jump ship.  Photos of yesterday's Solar Eclipse .  They're killing the arts .  A medical expert asks questions that the media won't. Trump's health is fucking bad . *paging Jake Tapper* El-Sayed's odd blind spot on Court Reform .  A surprising win for Crowley might lead to more wins in Wisconsin .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve t...

Get Your Dunkin' Wednesday

  Trump let journalists and Rubio , among others, be the decoy. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the catering cart getaway. Every day of this administration becomes more absurd. This "macho" man getting carted away, literally, to avoid a potential threat from Iran is funny, but also WTF. Someone, please explain to me what's going on because this is yet another unprecedented event. God help us all.  Here are your highlights:  Prediction markets got Hong's defeat all wrong .  I hate this framing so much. "Woke 1"   We were hit bad yesterday by storms. A software glitch prevented timely warnings in the Midwest .  Houthi attack kills six  people in the Red Sea.  ICE needs to be dismantled. They now have gloves that can shock people .  Lebanon becomes the first Middle Eastern country to ban the death penalty . America needs to do the same.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

Get Your Dunkin' Tuesday

 "Cancel Culture" wasn't a thing. I know on X (Twitter) they believe it existed, but it didn't. No one can name a public figure who was cancelled. Of the people that should've been cancelled, all are still working , some thriving , and some nominated for awards ! Yet, white dude posters keep acting like if they say something absurd, offensive, or ignorant, WE WILL CANCEL THEM. Whatever that means. God forbid this world has consequences. So the next time someone uses that phrase, take them less seriously.  Here are your highlights:  An Art School reveals decades of child abuse . Trump has been rolling back Offshore Wind, costing jobs . WHILE THE WORLD BURNS.  RFK Jr. is trying to kill kids, changes vaccine schedule.   I know all cities are disgusting, crime-ridden cesspools; however, violent crime is going down .  Polymarket shouldn't exist .  The turn by Laura Loomer to pro-Ukraine is a MAGA turf war.   I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message....

Get Your Dunkin' Monday

I had an unfortunate accident this weekend. My youngest was following me down the stairs and tripped; she then fell on my legs, knocking me down the stairs. She's kind of a klutz. I tumbled down the stairs and immediately had back spasms. This morning they continued. I'm due for an MRI, so I guess...good timing? I'm in pain. I'm frustrated. I'm tired. But I've been here before. Maybe a third back surgery will be the charm.  Here are your highlights:   Nearly 50 people have died in a 7.4 earthquake in Colombia .  It's clear Bibi owns Trump; he rejected Trump's Gaza plan .  After 30 years, 2Pac's murder trial begins.  I grew up during the height of the East Coast West Coast rivalry. Dating myself, but this case will hopefully bring some closure.  AOC is playing into the Right's BS about cancel culture .  Tehran says "no military solution" to Hormuz reopening .  Speaking of Iran. US Petroleum reserves are the lowest they've been since ...

Get Your Dunkin' Friday

 In Trump's mind, this is the best economy ever. He brags that everything is going great! He's doing great. His kids are doing great. Their corruption has made them billions. Yet, the economy itself is blah. The most recent jobs report is a bit muddy , but the headlines read " Employers cut 23,000 jobs ." That's not a good look, and with gas prices high due to his stupid, idiotic war in Iran, he looks even more delusional.  Here are your highlights:  Sen. Lisa Murkowski has discovered her spine . She's a "no" on Blanche.  Israel has a chance to oust Bibi, but the alternative isn't much better. Don't believe the Gadi Eisenkot Hype .  The shadiest administration. Trump wants to privatize the TSA, turning it over to companies like Palantir.   Chinese AI models ALSO escaped in an attempt to cheat . We're screwed.  Annual Chicago Duck Derby drops 90,000 rubber duckies into the river . It's okay; it's a fundraiser for the Special Olymp...

I've got an odd confession: I love watching "Walking Tour" videos of Chinese cities. It's a place I'll likely never be able to visit because I support Hong Kong. And I've written many blogs about the country's corruption. Nevertheless, I enjoy the quiet walkabouts. There's something so interesting about their city layouts, the crowds, and the random things, like having a ski slope indoors. Anyone else watch these walking tours?  Here are your highlights:   GOP launches FAKE NEWS! sites .  Good news. Cambodia becomes the first Asian nation to hit HIV mark .  Bomb armed drone found near Ukrainian plane at a German airport.  Rep. Chuck Edwards drops his reelection bid. All the Republicans are scumbags .  New mRNA flu vaccine coming this fall .  Todd Blanche should not be confirmed. He has promised to ban abortion in every state .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

Get Your Dunkin' Wednesday

 We got kind of a mixed bag from yesterday's primaries. It does look like El-Sayed won. Cori Bush's attempt to win her seat back failed. One thing is for certain: the Democratic leadership needs to wake up. I said this previously: people want fighters. The standard Dem candidate has to stand up to this administration and its corruption. They have to care about Gaza, healthcare, and the economy. Shit ain't right, and if you don't see that, get out.  Here are your highlights:   Coal kills people. Black lung cases on the rise .  Russian strikes kill 17 in Ukraine . I thought this war was done on day one?  The cover-up of all cover-ups. Sen. Wyden reports banks let Epstein move money at will .  Claude goes rogue .  Welp. Bye, bye Madden. EA purchased by Kushner and Saudis .  Support our troops . ICE has detained more than 50 military spouses and parents.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.
