Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

 Well, it's confirmed I broke a rib. First broken bone in my entire life. Rest and Advil. That's the treatment. Stupid body. It's always breaking. I'm looking forward to this weekend though. The girls have basketball games and activities. I'm going to rest up and binge some Oscar movies .  Here are your highlights: Asians behaving badly. Crypto bro Justin Sun.   Vaccinate your kids.   We've been saying this, but the  government's mass firings are illegal.  No one seems to care.  Yuengling is coming to Central Illinois! Gym Jordan got rickrolled. There is no caravan of illegals. So now businesses are bracing for ICE raids .  I am Frank Chow and I approve this message

 My ribs. They hurt and pop. I go to the doctor tomorrow. At least my doctor isn't an RFK Jr. guy, so I'll at the very least get some decent treatment. I might get a measles shot even though I don't need one just in case. The anti-vaccine movement has become a menace to society. One that has rotted the brains on both the left and right. I remember when we lived in the Bay Area dealing with crunchy women who were certain they knew more than a virologist. The right oils and the right essence could cure most things if you knew the right concoction. It's now seeped into the mainstream and kids are dying . Kids. The ones you're supposed to protect. I don't care about your feelings. We shouldn't be dealing with viruses we figured out. Period.  Here are your highlights: RIP Gene Hackman . He was one of the greatest actors of all time and his work was always measured. I'll watch Crimson Tide tonight in his honor.  The Washington Post is now fully compromised. Be...

 I've been sick. Our youngest got the noro and I in turn got it as well. I do not recommend it. I do not recommend puking so hard you might've dislocated a rib. I hate 2025. I'm feeling better today, but for two days I was miserable. Kids are gross. Other people's kids are worse. Wash their hands. Give them baths! Damnit! Drinking lots of fluids and hoping for energy to return to my body soon.  Here are your highlights: Facebook to boost lies and viral content . NOT GOOD.  Everything is for sale. Including citizenship .  MSNBC is cowardly and there is no other way to put it.  Federal funding cuts are hitting higher ed and critical research .  Ukraine, the latest.  Some good news. Tesla sales are down in Europe . Big time.  I am Frank Chow and I approve this message

 It would be okay if the asteroid hit our planet. I'm over humans in general we don't deserve such a lovely place as Earth. That might be macabre, but that's where I'm at right now. I've had a rough week. I don't trust anyone. I don't trust our systems. But I do trust Ben Stiller to direct amazing episodes of Severance. I do trust myself to teach another wine class. I trust that we'll find a way.  Here are your highlights: Third-term talk has already begun .  Musk is such a dork-ass loser .  Measles vaccine. Get it if you're older. The more you know .  USA vs. Canada battled it out in hockey last night. It was a great game. Trudeau had words for Trump .  Not really fun that Republicans can simply ignore court orders .  Album recommendation - FKA Twigs - Esexua I am Frank Chow and I approve this message

 The wine class was so much fun last night and we tasted some exciting wines. Always love discovering new wines to enjoy with pasta or gamier dishes. Ferrari Carano Siena is a lovely blend that leads with Sangiovese. I definitely recommend trying it out. The world is not yet burning, but we're getting there. I've been seeing more and more desperation. But nights like last night give me hope. There are still good wines and good people out there.  Here are your highlights: Jobless claims increase . I look forward to the headlines saying "TRUMP ECONOMY IN SHAMBLES" Trump is not happy with Boeing. The new Air Force One planes aren't ready. I hope they rush the process.  News that will drive you to drink .  New cuts are hurting farmers, especially Black farmers .  Republicans want to cut Medicaid . This will hurt those with the least. Our neighbors. Our friends. Shameless.  Being a foreign policy nerd is tough these days. We have handed Putin everything he want...

 I teach a wine class tonight. It's a smaller group than normal and the organizers are chalking up to this awful weather. Oh well, we'll still have fun, laugh, and drink delicious juice! One great joy about teaching folks wine is that you always get a new question. A new tasting note. It's fun and unpredictable. It's the best. I love teaching.  Here are your highlights: Are we a democracy? The Supreme Court will weigh in . Don't hold onto your butts.  Trump is playing right into Putin's hands . Sorry, Ukraine. This is a monumental shift in American foreign policy and one that only a Putin stooge would back.  Gov. Pritzker to address the state of Illinois .  Rwanda-backed rebels aim for another city takeover. Department of FOAFI. DOGE has its sights on the Department of Defense . I wonder how much longer it'll take before there's a revolt. Musk is increasingly unpopular. Oh and a Nazi.  I am Frank Chow and I approve this message

 Ever wake up and have tons of pain?! Me neither. I lifted a coffee table up three flights of stairs on Sunday and let me tell you...I'm old. I'm in pain. Lots of pain. It hurts to type. Did I mention I'm old?! Anywho, thank you to all who protested yesterday. Every one of you did your thing. We have to resist. We have to push back. None of this is normal. Here are your highlights: Social Security head steps down cuz DOGE is da worst.  Delta flight crashes and ends up upside down on the runway. I don't remember one plane incident under Biden.  Broken Heart syndrome is a real thing.  Russia and the US are in talks about the war in Ukraine without Ukraine .  Firing federal employees willy-nilly is bad .  Why do Republicans hate disabled folks so much?  I am Frank Chow and I approve this message
