Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

 I've been away on holiday, and then one of the kiddos got sick. I'd like to say she was sick and tired of Trump meddling in things like the World Cup, but alas, she has a bug. I'd love to wax poetic about the USMNT's lousy performance last night... for what, though? Clearly, Trump's meddling put extra pressure on the team, and the nerves got to them. That's my takeaway. It was a good run. Last night wasn't good. The women still rule. America! Here are your highlights: Platner was never that guy; he needs to drop out. Maine has some work to do .  China launches a ballistic missile, causing regional concerns .  Shooting in Tennessee by the National Guard is under investigation .  The Save Our Bacon Act is suspect.  Oil prices rise as the war that was ended with Iran continues .  Mitch McConnell is likely being Weekend at Bernie'd .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 US-AAAAAAAAAAA! The USMNT did their thing last night...until a stupid red card by a clearly stupid ref. I'm still mad about it. One of our best players was given a red on something Messi didn't even get a warning about. It was a choice. I'm super excited for our squad. It was overall a good night. And I can't wait until the next game to sing with a bunch of American hooligans. Let's go! Here are your highlights: You know who provides healthcare: Haitians . Way to go, SCOTUS.  ICE arrested a nun .  US job growth slowed . Now, if Biden were president, the headlines would read differently.  The Great American State Fair is empty . And we're laughing.  Corruption, that's the point . Trump's sons make more money off defense contracts.  How to help those in Venezuela .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 Reform the Supreme Court . Pack the court. If you're a Democrat running for office and you don't mention court reform, I'm going to be suspicious of your motives. It's been clear for a while now that SCOTUS is compromised. Fox News, hell, maybe even Infowars, brained justices are running it. The fact that Birthright Citizenship was so close is terrifying. I can't emphasize this enough: we're in deep waters if we can't reform the court. All the alarm bells should be going off.  Here are your highlights: Democratic Socialist wins in Colorado .  The winner of Trump's war in the Middle East, China .  Europe prepares for more hospital visits as the heat rises .  Mike Johnson has to be the worst Speaker in recent memory.   Private sector jobs grew by only 98,000 .  Mind you, Nick Fuentes is basically the mainstream Republican nowadays .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 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.
