Get Your Dunkin' Wednesday

 I'd like to believe. I'd like to have optimism. HOWEVER, the way the Southern states reacted to SCOTUS gutting the Voting Rights Act has me down bad. SCOTUS basically said, "Do your worst." And the Southern states have acted accordingly. They saw that they were going to lose the midterms and rigged the system in a white supremacist way. It is an act of desperation as Trump is so unpopular that he might as well be the plague, yet last night Republicans showed they still kiss his ring. It has me nervous. Will Republicans call the election off? Challenge even the widest margins? Six months is a long time for them to plot.  Here are your highlights:   Bolivia is under siege. Chaos at the capital.  The Trump slush fund needs to be investigated the moment Dems get the gavel.  Asians Behaving Badly. Steven Cheung is a prick .  Cuba is the next mark . Can we do two wars at once?  Climate Change - Kansas farmers face possibly the worst crop since 1972 ....

 Summer is almost here. The kids are out of school on Friday. I'd say I'm excited, but then the summer crazies hit. Which camp? Where to drop off? Who is doing what? It's all chaotic. Any parent will attest that summer is fun. We'd also say the lack of help or the lack of providers is stressful. We end school and are like, "Parents, good luck!" I get vacation time. I don't get enough vacation time for summer. So to those fellow parents out there, good luck!  Here are your highlights:  Bessent grovels at the G7 conference for allies to go after Iran's finances.  Israel continues to ethnically cleanse Palestinians .  Shooting in San Diego at an Islamic Center . Police are treating it as a hate crime.  Nobody does it quite like JD Vance . Vote them out!  Minnesota to prosecute ICE Agents .  Prayers up. (if that's what you do) An American doctor tests positive for Ebola .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

As the US and Iran continue to "negotiate" over the war, it's good to know that Europe is on the edge of an oil crisis. I can't think of a bigger self-own in modern presidential history. Trump has not only made Americans miserable at the pump, but also everyone. Everywhere. All at once. He doesn't care. Heck, he might even start the war back up for funsies. Something tells me this isn't what the Founders had in mind... Here are your highlights: The 250th anniversary celebration in DC is turning out to be a White Christian Nationalist Rally . The very antithesis of America.  House Oversight Committee to interview Epstein guards .  "Cuba has drones!" - I guess this is the next play. Starve Cubans, then war, then what? Asteroid, please hit us . You're our only hope.  Ebola outbreak in the Congo and Uganda. WHO declares an emergency .  MAGA is upset with Trump cuz CHINESE STUDENTS ARE BAD . This is too funny.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this mes...

 For now, women can receive health care despite the want and fervor of Alito and Thomas to control every uterus. It's clear that the Republican appointees on the Supreme Court, especially the aforementioned, have no desire to call balls and strikes. It's all about returning to "the golden era." An America that never existed. An America where Segregation and Women's Rights weren't a thing. Pollution was all the rage, and you paid $6 a gallon for gas. Out of touch has lost all meaning. Expanding the court is the only way forward for the Democratic Party. Anyone saying otherwise shouldn't be taken seriously.  Here are your highlights:   A terrible story out of NY. Children with disabilities were thrown and confined in wooden boxes at schools .  Turns out nobody, wants Data Centers in their backyard .  The John Roberts Court. A third of the Congressional Black Caucus could lose their seats .  Another Republican, another sexual harassment claim .  Update: T...

Get Your Dunkin' Thursday

 Eggs! Gas! Inflation! Biden is old! They really "But her emails..." anything during a Democratic presidency. And now, I'm paying $5 a gallon in my small rural town, so no way I'm buying beef, cutting back on essentials, and going out less. I guess I'll have to take up gardening or composting. What hippie hobby should I pick up? I have a bandana, need gloves, and I'll need more crusty gear. Time to get dirty! Here are your highlights: China warns Trump about Taiwan . Xi is going to play Trump so badly.  While Alito wants to own every woman's uterus. Abortion providers are scrambling to stay ahead of the courts.  UK Health Minister resigns and is rumored to challenge Starmer .  AAPI Month Alert: A documentary about being AAPI!   More layoffs at Meta. The rot starts at the top .  I'm so old I remember Donald said he'd end the war in Ukraine on day one .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

 Trump goes to China. I have no hopes for this visit. Xi has played Trump rather well, and he will continue to, just like Putin. My worry is that Trump will sell out Taiwan at the first mention. He is all about optics after all. He wants the pictures and videos of him and Xi; that's pretty much it. I hate this trip so much .  Here are your highlights:   Please not another COVID. Hantavirus has a French patient in critical condition .  $1.2 trillion for the golden dome .  RIP Jason Collins . A hero in the NBA.  Mamdani is proving that Democrats are better at economics than Republicans .  Gunfire at the Philippine Senate .  The case of the missing Representative .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.

 A Democratic president could never. Watching gas prices rise, an endless war, a wobbling economy, a pedophile ring, sleeping on the job, etc. A Democratic president could never. Yet Trump continues on his authoritarian ways with zero media accountability. Americans hate the man, and yet the headlines act as if he's independent of the current state of affairs. If Biden were still president, the New York Times would look very different.  Here are your highlights:   The cost of war .   I'm no conspiracy theorist, but most Americans doubt the assassination attempts on Trump were real.  California mayor pleads guilty to being an illegal agent for China .  Fuck Rahm Emanuel and anyone promoting him .  Deal made with the hackers of Canvas .  Starvation on the front lines in Ukraine, Russian war.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message.
