Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

 The latest polling has Dems crushing Republicans this midterm. I don't think the press is ready for the Trump backlash. After seeing what's occurred with the Kennedy Center, I have no doubt he will be even more irate. The Mad King comes to mind. Gas and Diesel are not going down. He's losing the war in Iran. Has Congress passed a single bill? 6 years of this asshole and only destruction. I wake up most days hoping for good news.  Here are your highlights: Canada to be an associate member of the EU?   Me know that's not money. Crypto bill fails in the Senate .  Women built MAHA; now the men are taking over .  More news that DOGE was a complete failure .  Rate hike is on the way .  Chaos in the Middle East. Yemen is a war zone, and the Houthis are making a play for the country .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 AI is not going to kill us. At least not right now. We keep hearing about it, but I think it's a shell game. AI isn't really evolving, like OpenAI and Anthropic say. It seems to be stuck. Do I think AI could eventually be the endgame for civilization? I'd be silly to think it can't; I've watched enough sci-fi. However, this is not it...yet. And what might hold it back is the very real people voicing concerns about AI. As NIMBY as it may seem, across party lines, a lot of folks aren't feeling the data center vibes.  Here are your highlights:   How the Fed should deal with the AI bubble .  Yo, he said it out loud. We've got weapons in space .  DeSantis should be in DeJail . Horrific conditions at "Alligator Alcatraz." Making Air Quality terrible again .  Russia, Russia, Russia! Don Jr.'s wedding backed by Putin Pal .  The endless war in Iran and how Trump is losing it.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 I took Friday off. 25 years since Sept. 11th got to me. It changed a lot for us. All these years later, I'm still wrestling with the trauma. My best friends went to war. Every day they were deployed was a day I thought I'd never see them again. My friends were attacked. They were harassed and some were beaten. The flag was used as a weapon if you opposed the wars. You felt a need to be patriotic. So much changed, and I know I'm not the first person to say that. Fuck.  Here are your highlights:   The weird resignation of Joe diGenova .  Speaking of 9/11. Anti-Muslim rhetoric is back in full force for the midterms .  House Democrats raise AI alarm . More of this please.  Ruining the Kennedy Center should be an impeachable offense .  The endless war in Iran is seeing costs go up. And Iran just dealt another blow to pipelines in Saudia Arabia .  Stop comprimising on transgender issues . FFS. If we can't stand up for equality, what are we even doing?...

 I'm going to be brief. Recovery is harder than expected. I must rest.  Here are your highlights:   Trump offers $5k to citizens if the Republicans win the midterms . Not so fast.  Nothing to see here. August was the hottest month on record .  The bastard woman profiting off of the anti-trans nonsense .  Forever war.   AI is not complying, and it is apparent that our Silicon Valley overlords don't care .  Fuck John Fetterman . He's unwell. He wants to switch parties. Let him. Our tent shouldn't include traitors.  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 An odd thing I've noticed as I've gotten older is that history is a blip. 9/11 to our interns is an event. It happened; it was tragic, but that's it. I had friends go to war over "this event." I had friends who faced brutal racist abuse because of "this event." I was considered a traitor for opposing the war. It's so weird being this old now. Not sure how I feel about it.  Here are your highlights:  Texas schools, man , get out of that state as fast as possible.  Bibi knew an attack was coming. He didn't do anything .  Republicans are trying to rig elections. But mail-in voters are determined .  Oil is over $100 a barrel .  AI researcher says we're all doomed .  Trump likes his handler a little too much. He gifted Natalie Harp $45k .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 I hope everyone had a lovely holiday weekend. I stupidly tried to do too much and am paying for it now. Don't underestimate your recovery time from an appendectomy. I'm sore as all hell. The kids and I had a chill day; we went to a food hall, they played video games, and we cuddled with the pup. Every weekend should be a three-day weekend.  Here are your highlights:  The destruction of the Civil Rights Department .  Miami airport tragedy. Five dead in plane crash .  Are we a Banana Republic?   Alarm bells should be ringing. The Nazis have won in Germany .  Houthi rebels attack Saudi Arabia . I thought the war was over.  As we approach the 9/11 anniversary. It's interesting to see how states educate students about that time . I remember talking to an intern about it, and let's just say it didn't go well. Students really don't get the full scope of what happened, what was going on at the time, and how the Nation reacted in its aftermath. "Planes in...
