Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

 It keeps raining. It keeps flooding. And it's apparent our government doesn't give a damn. Sadly, multiple people died in Indiana experiencing the worst flooding in 30 years. More than 128,000 people are without power. Here in Illinois, we've seen unprecedented flooding, tornadoes, and heavy rain. Today might be the first day without it. Here's hoping. As our world continues to warm, more people should've listened to Al Gore.  Here are your highlights:   An endless and stupid war in Iran .  "Save the cheerleader, save the world." RIP to Hayden Panettiere . There's something rotten in Hollywood; one of these days we'll get the truth.  Trump Bank? The blatant corruption is the point.   British Prime Minister was texting a Susie Wiles impostor .  China keeps careful watch on the mourning of former premier Zhu Rongji . Could Universal Healthcare save $1trillion? One study thinks so . I'm not sure Medicare for All is the path, but damn, we've ...

 School starts next week. I've seen countless pictures of kids on their first day of school (some start earlier). Our kids are stocked up and ready to go. It's wild how summer went so fast. I try to remind our girls that these summers are the best. That the time we spend together isn't infinite. But they're kids. So I hold them tighter, put on a movie, make popcorn, and soak it in. Some things in life are still good.  Here are your highlights: What's going on in the West Bank? And what's going on with Huckabee?   The ongoing water crisis in Puerto Rico .  Should we be worried? Credit card debt nearing record .  Jeffries calls for court reform. Hell yeah.  The majority-minority change in rural America.   No one is safe. ICE is targeting Asian and Pacific Islanders .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 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...

  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. 

 "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....

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 ...
