Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

 "Russia, Russia, Russia!" "Russian Hoax!" We've heard this for a decade, and you know what? We were fuckin right. As Trump's lackey calls Putin a "humanitarian," we watch children die in Ukraine. We read about Musk cutting off access to Starlink to Ukraine. We see Vance tell Zelensky he should be grateful. And then there's the withholding of essential defense. It is no question now that US policy is anti-democratic, pro-Russia. And it's one of the great betrayals of our lifetime.  Here are your highlights:   Vivek is an Asian behaving badly . He used his opponent's trauma for an ad.  So if you don't believe Climate Change is real, you can just destroy the world .  Voter fraud isn't a thing . DOJ detains people who were born in the U.S.  Hey! I don't think losing $80 billion is a good business model . Looking at you, Anthropic.  Web code has critical vulnerabilities .  If you have enough money to fight a tax on billionaires...

 Around six weeks since my appendix was removed. I had the great idea to go on a walk, something like two miles. Yeah, it might have been too ambitious. For whatever reason, my recovery is taking longer than I expected. I want so badly to go hiking again. It's not happening this week. One day at a time.  Here are your highlights:  Alberta rejects independence from Canada .  Trump administration wants to go after people with student loans . It's a terrible idea.  Zelensky is punching back. And good for him . Trump has sold him out, and he's got a country to protect.  Oil prices have reached a five-month high. Is this what winning looks like?   They are not settlers. Washington Post photographer was attacked in the West Bank .  Fuck Meta. Zuckerberg is at it again . He shuts down the No Kings account. I think it's a bad idea to give a spoiled brat so much power. Yet here we are with no oversight, no repercussions, and no changes. Dems need to put re...

 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 ...
