Op-Ed: Trump made a dangerous situation more chaotic – AsAmNews

5 days ago | asamnews.com | Emil Guillermo

By Emil Amok GuillermoWith a disgusting and surprising show of force, Donald Trump showed he’d lied. Last week, he said he’d decide on a plan for Iran in two weeks, presumably to allow for peaceful negotiations to take place. After all, it wasn’t even clear even to international monitors that Iran had any nuclear capability.

In a disgusting and surprising show of force, Donald Trump lied. Last week, he said he’d decide on a plan for Iran in two weeks, presumably to allow for peaceful negotiations to take place.

Opinion: Filipinos, Juneteenth and the Vincent Chin hate crime

1 week ago | usa.inquirer.net | Emil Guillermo

Filipinos know Filipino time, that sense of timelessness that allows for delay and our late arrivals. And then there is Juneteenth, which we celebrate today. It’s about a kind of lateness and about the struggle of getting it right. It’s the day Texas finally recognized that the slaves were free in 1865. That’s even though Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was in 1862. Your subscription could not be saved. Please try again. Your subscription has been successful.

A Father’s Day Poem for My Dad, the Manong, As Trump Shows His Wares and Americans say, “No Kings.”by Emil Amok GuillermoOn my screen, Donald Trump stood watching his military toys on parade in DC. Behind him, on his left, was his co-conspirator in the Florida documents case, his closest Asian American ally from Guam, Walt Nauta.

Opinion: My thoughts on Father's Day as Americans say 'No Kings'

On my screen, Donald Trump stood watching his military toys on parade in DC. Behind him on his left was his co-conspirator in the Florida documents case, his closest Asian American ally from Guam, Walt Nauta. The retired Navy valet turned Trump’s body man could have been every Filipino Trump supporter. His loyalty to Trump is greater than his loyalty to the nation. Made me wonder what if that case had gone to trial?
Op-Ed: Anti-Asian hate growing in US

2 weeks ago | usa.inquirer.net | Emil Guillermo

Hate against Asian Americans is growing in the US, not fading. A majority of AAPI adults – 53 percent – say they experienced an act of hate last year due to race, ethnicity or nationality, according to a new survey by Stop AAPI Hate. That’s an increase of four percent from the previous year. If you haven’t heard anyone report about it in the news, maybe that’s because the news media has been mesmerized by the Trump/Musk debacle, a veritable festival of white-on-white-hate.

2 weeks ago | usa.inquirer.net | Emil Guillermo

When 2,000 National Guard troops show up uninvited to Los Angeles at the scene of protests you are only asking for trouble. The fear is elevated, the situation only worsens.

By Emil Amok GuillermoWhen 2,000 National Guard troops show up uninvited to Los Angeles at the scene of protests you are only asking for trouble. The fear is elevated, and the situation only worsens. That’s not what anyone should want. Except for Donald Trump. The president calling for the guard and raising the rhetoric is like showing up to the LA Fires with gasoline, not water. But this is what Trump wanted, to show off his power and induce fear.
