Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

 It really must be something to be a Centrist. One election in New York, and you begin panicking, fanning yourself, and swearing the world is over cuz SoCIALism. It's New York. Also too, shut up. Democratic voters want change; they want to fight, and this idea that the squishy center is the answer is dead. Then you have folks with " Project 2029 " -- "kids over clicks" -- I have no words. If your first instinct is to ban social media and not prosecute this administration, you're not paying attention. Our democracy has been under attack for 18 months. What are you doing? What are you watching? Fuckin' A.  Here are your highlights: Sam Alito has Fox News brain . Tragic. Venezuelans deported by the US die in the earthquake . This administration has more blood on its hands.  Ford is recalling over 700,000 vehicles .  The Iran War still isn't over .  Fair play. The flop that is Trump's Freedom Fair, or whatever it's called .  America is turning 25...

 Summer heat is here. We've been dealing with storms, tornadoes, and more storms. All summer. I used to think the weather didn't change your day, but here it sure does. Plans change. Moods change. Lives change. Now, we have heat predicted to go as high as 100 degrees. The weather has been so wild that even my youngest is asking about it daily. Where we live, I'm starting to think Interstellar wasn't fiction. It was a prediction. It's fine. Outside is overrated.  Here are your highlights:   Great American Fair Fail .  Firefighters die on the Colorado-Utah border .  There was no Trump mandate. Took ya long enough, pundits.  Pete Buttigieg and his family were swatted . This is right-wing terrorism.  A point of concern. NY Dem Congressional Nominee, Darializa Chevalier , has a troubling social media past. Word of advice: delete your Twitter account before running for any higher office. (Note: most of these attacks are bad faith, but it would behoove Dem S...

 The USMNT B-Team almost pulled off the draw against Turkey. While I'm fine with this result, it exposed how suspect our bench is. MLS players, for the most part, can't compete at the intensity of other international squads. At least not yet. It's a comfort to know we're into the next round against a team we should beat. I say should because the World Cup is always full of surprises, see Germany. Here are your highlights:   Ex-NOAA employees re-create site for critical climate information .  RFK Jr. is a dangerous quack. New report raises even more red flags .  Ukraine attacks Moscow with over 600 drones . Is Russia Drago? Tragic. Venezuela discovers more than 500 dead from massive earthquakes .  In a moment of "what's corruption," J.D. Vance says Watergate wouldn't last the 24-hour news cycle . Prosecute these arrogant traitors.  Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is theirs to control , oops.  I am Frank Chow and I approve this message. 

 As we continue to battle the consequences of Climate Change, it's wild to me that the world seems to be unprepared and even surprised by its presence. A couple of years ago, we took our oldest to the UK. There, we experienced "unprecedented" heat. Most places, including where we were staying, didn't have "air con." Folks were going outside to sit in the shade to get away from their homes. Stores were running out of fans. We sweat nightly, even with fans and the windows open. Years later, here we are  with record heat, and people are at ever-greater risk. Leaders have known about infrastructure and technical limitations for over a decade, and for those who say, "I don't get it." I have been to Arizona and Texas before.  Here are your highlights:   The death toll continues to rise in the tragic earthquakes in Venezuela .  Stephen Miller, evil sucknavel, hates disabled people . Almost as much as he hates immigrants.  So not only did Trump lose hi...

 We should be sounding the alarm about the Prairieland Protesters' sentences. Eight have been sentenced to 450 years in prison . Not only were the sentences beyond absurd, it shows how far this administration will go to punish dissent. As January 6ers were pardoned and readmitted for heinous crimes, these protesters were sentenced so harshly that they'll never have another day of freedom. Anyone can be labeled "antifa" by this administration. Protesting an unlawful detention program, one that has led to the deaths of men, women, and children, is truly American. Dark times.  Here are your highlights:   Chinese supercomputer is now the world's fastest .  Not good. The Crypto industry might get its way with regulation .  NY had a progressive day! It's always nice to see progressives win primaries. Please don't call it a "Tea Party" moment or some other nonsense . There were folks last night on Bluesky calling Mamdani a "kingmaker" -- New Y...

 I'm wondering when folks in the Democratic Party will begin focusing on anti-war messaging. I think it's an easy winner; no more wars. Republicans start wars they don't know how to finish and cost us billions, while your gas prices go up, while groceries go up, and while you can't afford rent. Seems simple enough. Just speak it plainly. We should be the anti-war party. Attack the renaming of the Department of Defense, oh, and HOW MUCH IT COSTS. COSTS, stupid.  Here are your highlights:  Is there a strong enough politician in the UK to say Brexit was a historical mistake? And run on it? I'm not sure, but it's been a mess.  ACLU to focus on fair elections this fall .  Hegseth is getting our soldiers sick to own the Libs .  AI Wearables. Something tells me if Zuck is pushing it, it will fail .  National "Intelligence."  - to keep America safe, we must be less safe.  Refusing to spend aid. Please, Democrats, prosecute every last sociopath of th...
