Today’s West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, River City Hash Mondays is now available on the Spreaker Player!
Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, a federal judge lost her patience and exploded in court over Trump officials lying right to her face.
Then, on the rest of the menu, where Trump’s Border Czar backed off his bold attacks against judges, but just a little; a Georgia jury orders Monsanto parent Bayer to pay nearly $2.1 billion in the Roundup weedkiller lawsuit; and, former US Attorney Jessica Aber, who was conveniently™ found dead at the age of 43 on Saturday, was at the helm of high-profile investigations into intelligence leaks, allegations of war crimes against Russian-linked individuals and people suspected of providing sensitive US technology to Moscow before she stepped down at the start of the year.
After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where Turkish authorities detained several journalists from their homes in a crackdown amid escalating protests triggered by the imprisonment of the mayor of Istanbul and top rival to President Erdogan; and, Austrian authorities said they uncovered a Russian disinformation campaign about Ukraine following the detention of a Bulgarian woman accused of spying for Russia.
Bon Appétit!

Question: Who is your audience? What are you here for?
Answer: Tribal Alliances, Heart-felt Convictions, Passionate Reason, Random Abandon, Sustainable Civility and a kiss; to comfort the sad and the mad Ones; the Ones roaming the International section of the American Supermarket at night; or roaming the neglected streets looking for an angry malaprop to sink their teeth into; the Ones who seek without seeking and learn as much as they teach; the Ones who embrace and kiss and embrace again; the Ones who sing the song of the city and the ballads of the forest; the Ones who chant the rhythm of the sea and hum the melody of the desert; the Ones who sing the prayer of Her name and Her name is the World. Yes, those are the Ones. -- JP
