The fallout from the implosion of the “Broadview Six” prosecutions lingers on, and it doesn’t look like it’s stopping any time soon. After the grand-jury shenanigans by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of Illinois caused the comical collapse of the case against a group protesting a federal immigration detention facility in Broadview, Illinois, the office is scrambling to hide further misdeeds.

Hi, everyone! I’m back for a second performance this week ~ two days in a row of feline and canine fun. So grab your favorite beverage, pull up your comfy chair, and join in the fun. To finish off, some fun stuff from YouTube. First, the live bear cam from Alaska. New foster kittens at Wasabi Sushi Matcha; she often does adorable captions for the babies A gentle reminder of how we do things: • Do not troll the diary. If you hate pootie diaries, leave now. No harm, no foul.

If you’ve seen Forest Gump you know the scene in the reflecting pool. If you’re like me, you thought, if only briefly about that scene when you saw the algae filled reflecting pool, as pieces of the bottom floated to the top. Well someone put that mental picture in a meme on social media and it has everything you could want. LOL.

Today’s West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy Podcast for our especially special Daily Special, Blue Moon Spirits Fridays, is now available on the Spreaker Player! Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, MAGA Mike Johnson just shut down Congress and canceled all votes as Trump is prohibiting all discussions on his MOU with Iran.

Reports are coming out stating that President Trump’s motorcade drove through the newly coated Reflecting Poll before they filled it with water. One report is about a month and a half old: Steven Cheung is the White House Communications Director. If this is some form of an AI troll that I’m falling for, I’ll gladly remove this post. If not, remember that the President’s limo weighs 20,000 pounds. And he drove it over fresh “paint”.

Right-wing media personality Tucker Carlson has pivoted from his cringeworthy praise of President Donald Trump as a “daddy” who would administer spankings to his political rivals to now referring to the president as “weak” following his Iran war disaster. In an interview with podcaster Jack Neel, Carlson described Trump as “buffoonish” and said he decided to retreat from hostilities in Iran in reaction to the market chaos the decision had created.

This is the kind of good news I want to wake up to in the morning!! Scientists, educators, farmers and the broader public now have a new website for climate information in the United States. The site, Climate.us, launched this week and fills a void left when a government-run climate information website was shut down last year by the Trump administration.

Having the World Cup during Trump’s second reign was not what organizers for the host committee dreamed of while assembling bid packages years ago. Instead of a president working to put the best face on the United States as an opportunity for soft diplomacy—we have a troglodyte-in-chief who values UFC blood on the White House lawn over anything athletic. At least Trump is not trying to Riefenstahl these events and portray a MAGA that is not MAGA.
