Frank Chow: Asian- American Political Pundit

 Chicago, I'm coming for you. And I'm ready to throw down and watch some rugby. If anyone is headed to the match, hit me up. Would love to meet fellow "resistance libs" at the tailgate. I'll be with Paddy K and his Irish mates. I assume tomfoolery will be had.  Here are your highlights: King Charles is stripping Prince Andrew of his titles and kicking him out . America?  Furloughed employees are visiting food banks.   We're not built for the ongoing Climate Crisis. NY reports 2 dead.   Ruining Halloween to own the Libs .  Ukraine is rattling Russia with drone strikes .  John Roberts betrayed America .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 This weekend I'm headed back to Chicago. Ireland vs. New Zealand rugby match at Soldier Field . It will be epic. The last time I was at Soldier Field, the Commanders (then the Skins) played the Bears. And if I remember correctly, Jay Cutler, known MAGA loser, threw a bunch of interceptions, and the Commanders won. This will be more fun because I'm an amateur rugby fan, and I'm sure the Irish will show out. Plus, Paddy K from the old Trans-Atlantic Throwdown days will be there. The old band is getting back together.  Here are your highlights:  Justice for Sonya Massey . It's a rare win, but it feels good to know cops can be tried and convicted.  ICE is a criminal organization. They've come for Kat Abughazaleh .  The majority of Californians support Prop 50 .  Trump will claim victory over China. The truth is different .  No big deal. The president, suffering from mental decline, will play with nukes .  What is happening in Sudan is horrifying. ...

Trump is in major decline. He has been for a while, and if he were a Democrat...well, you know how it goes. As Steve Bannon tries to get Trump a third term, I'm not so sure Trump makes it that long. One could hope. His showing in Japan has been bleak. Yet as the government continues to be shut down, he parades about Asia, soon to sell out Taiwan. It's all so blah.  Here are your highlights: Right-wing figures are drumming up more fake election controversies .  Powell to cut rates as the Fed is worried about the economy.  Israel breaks the ceasefire, then says it won't break the ceasefire. There was never a peace deal .  Jamaica devastated by Hurricane Melissa .  Bari Weiss at CBS, it's a problem, not sure how big yet, but it ain't starting out great .  NYC to pick its mayor today. Mamdani looks to win handily. Let's see how he can change the biggest city in the United States.  Nvidia becomes the first $5 trillion company . I don't know why, but somet...

 SNAP benefits are about to expire . All because Republicans think it's only the Blahs that use the benefits. Republicans could fix this; there is a way around the shutdown to still supply necessary benefits....BUT they won't. I know of folks in our rural town who are on SNAP. All of them are white. Nearly 40% of SNAP recipients are white. Companies could, you know, pay a living wage. We could, you know, have a functioning economic system. But Republicans... Here are your highlights:  Trump is declining quickly now . It's beyond obvious.  Jeff Bezos spent over $50 million on his wedding. Amazon to lay off 14,000 people .  Texas AG Ken Paxton, yes THAT Ken Paxton, is suing Tylenol cuz of autism .  Tear gassing Halloween. Border Patrol is made up of idiotic thugs .  No one in these big tech companies learned anything from iRobot .  Prayers up for Jamaica. Melissa is a Category 5 hurricane .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 I suggest everyone buckle up. It's about to get really bleak. Everything we warned about. Everything we said would happen has happened, and it will get worse. I'm not being a Debbie Downer here; it's the facts. Republicans have no desire to open the government. They want King Trump to do his bidding. They want chaos, starvation, and unemployment. Cruelty. Mike Johnson thinks Democrats are terrorists. Trump thinks every boat in the water should be "killed." The media is complicit. So yes, buckle up. But don't stop fighting.  Here are your highlights:  The truth about SNAP.  "...the most mass hunger suffering since the Great Depression." Anti-abortion zealots killed Trump's promised IVF investment .  What's up with the Navy? More crashes.  Trump had an MRI. "It was perfect." Look, we all see the signs. Maybe his cabinet is finally concerned.  Hurricane Melissa is headed toward Jamaica .  Hey, what was the 2024 election about? I cou...

 It's Friday, and in this rural town, we scare kids while they ride around in a tractor. I'm still not used to this. It's been five years now. I'm still not used to this. The hay, the corn, the soy beans, and the Coors Light. When people romanticize the Midwest and rural towns, I have to laugh.  Here are your highlights: Trump administration is going to open up sacred land to oil drilling . Such a waste. So gross. Grifting. It's all about the Grift .  Make this make sense. ICE is buying chemical weapons .  Jack Smith is ready to testify .  With all the tough-guy stuff, the National Guard is a bunch of babies. A man was detained for playing Star Wars music .  China was prepared for Trump and is leaving the US behind .  I am Frank Chow, and I approve this message. 

 Had some early meetings, a little late posting. One thing that's bothering me about this shutdown is the lack of empathy. Hardworking folks are without their jobs because Republicans want to cover up the Epstein files. Mike Johnson continues to keep the government closed when he could easily open it, and the media keeps playing along. No mention of the people out of work. Our services are slowing. And our healthcare prices are likely to rise. Have some fucking heart.  Here are your highlights: JD Vance goes to Israel, and Israel slaps him around .  More voter gerrymandering, this time in North Carolina .  We're essentially at war with drug boats .  Mamdani is going to win , and it's not going to lead to millionaire flight.  Elon Musk and Tesla are failing again. When will the house of cars fall?  Many have said this, but the Supreme Court is made up of segregationists.  And now black enrollment is down at elite colleges , as the Supreme Court des...
