Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

 Kudos to everyone who protested this past weekend. I wasn't able to participate, but it looked like large crowds were everywhere. Our local group is working on battling data centers, improving green energy in schools, and holding school boards to their word. It's tough. What's the phrase "all politics are local"? In our small town, there are hardly any Republican signs. It's kind of comforting how embarrassed voters are of the Trump administration.  Here are your highlights:   The Omar case is MAGA's attack on citizenship .  A new axis of evil. US, China, Russia .  Macron is not built for this moment . Thousands arrested after even larger protests in France.  Massachusetts Republican candidate suspends campaign .  The GOP is having some deja vu these midterms .  Asian Americans might deliver Congress to Democrats this time .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 As folks vote this midterm, it'll be interesting to see if the GOP's attempt to rig the elections works. I don't think they're smart enough. We've already seen the National Guard at ballot drop-offs. We know about their extreme gerrymandering. However, I don't think they get how unpopular they are, especially with Trump nearing the lowest approval rating ever. South Carolina is now in play. That's a big red flag for any GOP strategist. Do I think Dems sweep like the Brewers (Boo, Dodgers)? No, but I do think the GOP should be, and is, in full panic mode. Republicans in disarray.  Here are your highlights: Suspicious mailings to election officials and congressional offices .  Get the guns. Tragic shooting in Oregon at an elementary school .  Ruh-roh. Wall Street is figuring out there's an AI bubble .  I know we won't get it in my lifetime, but Citizens United needs to be overturned. Musk has spent over $150 million this midterm.  Journalists attacke...

Donald Trump admitted he's been administered dementia tests again. He just said it out loud . The 25th Amendment was created for times like these, but we're not in normal times. We're in the worst timeline. A timeline with no accountability, no rules, and a president who's lost his damn mind. At least Republicans hid it from us when Reagan was president. He's got no juice at his rallies. His party is way behind. I bet Republicans are hearing saxophones right about now.  Here are your highlights:   Ukraine says hell to the no. Attack on Russian oil refineries back on .  Illinois man charged with planning mass murder at Hindu place of worship .  If you've had the chance to see El-Sayed interact with voters, it's refreshing . Let's get him in the Senate as he builds his diverse coalition.  India protests have led to violence and arrests, and it's backfiring on Modi . School roof collapses in Pakistan, killing at least 35 .  The increasingly long drive t...

 That didn't last long. The Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfolye, has resigned (no link; it's on X). It must be worse than we think. WHICH IS BAD. She has already been caught trying to get a donor to pay off her credit card debt. There are back deals a plenty. I believe this is how the majority of the Trump administration acts. This is the culture. Unapologetic corruption. Democrats need to investigate. Kim Gremlin is a good start. It's all on Signal. The app seems to be the corruption conductor of choice.  Here are your highlights:   Stealing from the poor. SNAP benefits are being stolen , and the ones who need them the most are losing out with no government help in sight.  Trump's new Press Secretary is an untalented, moronic, Nazi-Barbie .  A new bridge linking North Korea and China is opening .  Whoops! Inflation comes in hot right as the midterms begin . Did I mention gas is up 9%? I hope one of these days we get a documentary on Netflix about who ...

 The kids had school off yesterday. So no blogging. What did I miss? Welp, Trump made an oil deal with Russia. Nothing to worry about there. He had his FBI raid  Rep. Ilhan Omar's home . And Trump has asked former Gavin Newsom and Don Jr.'s lover, Kim Gremlin, to resign . Got that? Breathe. The midterms are upon us, and it looks like we can win the House and maybe the Senate. Let's vote these fascists out.  Here are your highlights:   Saudi airport struck again . Things are escalating.  Can't make this up. GOP ad buyer spent money in the wrong state! Spent the money in Oregon instead of Maine. SCOTUS wants to protect Elon and DOGE .  Ken Paxton's campaign really needs to be studied. He's been caught hanging out with two criminals in Dubai.    AI Centers are coming for federal land .  Speaking of AI, Mark Zuckerberg is not human . I'm jumping on the lizard people conspiracy (I kid). But I think it's so funny when he and his other oligarchs si...

 A race war . Trump said it out loud. It's what he's been calling for since he was first elected, but he just "truthed" it out. I feel for the people of Minnesota and the Somali community. The amount of terror Trump has rained down on their cities has been relentless. Now, he's trying to incite his extremist base to start killing them. He must be stopped. I know Walz and his team will be prepared, but you can't work with the FBI on this one. We know which side they're choosing.  Here are your highlights:  Hurricane Isaias strengthens and heads toward landfall . Prayers for the Gulf Coast.  There's something really disturbing about Hegseth's desire for blood. Orders a live-streamed execution of the Ft. Hood shooter .  Sen. Jon Ossoff has time, and he's closing really strong .  Democratic Senate candidate SC Annie Andrews, on the other hand, is not. Do not throw trans folks, especially kids, under the bus. Fuck this consultant crap .  Nobel Peace...
