The president, who's an avid fan of the sport, has made several statements in support of the newly-founded LIV Golf tour, which is financed by Saudi Arabian backers.

"I think LIV has been a great thing for Saudi Arabia, for the image of Saudi Arabia," Trump told the Journal. "I think it's going to be an incredible investment from that standpoint, and that's more valuable than lots of other things because you can't buy that — even with billions of dollars."

LIV Golf has faced significant criticism from advocacy groups that claim the new league is akin to "sportswashing," and that the Saudi government is attempting to launder its image and reputation with the new golf league.

The National Press Club chastised LIV Golf and Trump in a statement.

"That the tournament is being held at a course owned by former President Trump is, if possible, even more revolting," the statement reads. "It reminds us that the former President bragged of distracting Congress from the murder, delaying the release of the final U.S. government report that concluded MBS, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia (and recipient of the fist-bump from President Biden) was most likely involved in planning and approving Jamal's murder."

Families of 9/11 survivors also called on Trump to cancel the event. On Thursday, the former president told ESPN: "Nobody's gotten to the bottom of 9/11, unfortunately, and they should have, as to the maniacs that did that horrible thing."

As Insider's John Haltiwanger pointed out, 15 of the 19 hijackers involved in the 2001 terrorist attacks were Saudi nationals. Though the Saudi government has said it wasn't involved in the attacks, some victims' family members suggested otherwise.

Two of 12 of LIV Golf's events are set to be held at Trump properties, including this week in Bedminster and an October event in Miami.

DeChambeau praised Trump in an interview with Golfweek. "I mean, anytime you get to play with a president, whether passed or sitting, it's just an honor, no matter who it is. Very lucky to have a relationship with him, and he's always been generous to me."

who out there is a plating genius?

I am serving a brunch in a couple of weeks and would like to do sous vide egg bites, most likely with some kind of potato, fresh Colorado peaches, a bit of artisan bread, and a local sausage. Still open on flavor profile. I think egg bites need ... some kind of base to highlight them on the plate, give them a little more presence? Their footprint on a plate seems "small" and kind of naked given that they are a main. I've thought about a little bed of greens, a broiled tomato slice, a little swipe of sauce??? Thank you for any ideas!

Zorushi rice cooker no longer uses keep warm function.

Hi,

My zorushi (~10 years old, give or take) from Japan used to automagically go to keep warm after it cooked. Recently I noticed I would have to set it to keep warm. Now I can't make it go to keep warm for anything.

Is this a wiring issue? Anyone experienced this before?

Is it normal for Greek Yogurt to be flat/settled when opened?

I bought The Greek Godz Honey Vanilla Yogurt earlier today and ran a few errands with it in my trunk. When I opened it, the yogurt was flat and i had to press into it with my spoon which is something i never had to do with regular yogurt. The yogurt went from almost chunks to a smooth texture with lumps while mixing. It tastes fine but im not sure if it is good because of the lumps and thickness.

How to repair crappy chicken stock

How To Repair Crappy Chicken Stock?

Hi all! Home cook here who tried to make chicken stock from the carcass of a Costco roasted chicken.

I seasoned and strained the stock, refrigerated it overnight to set the fat and then skimmed the fat off the next morning. Problem is that the cold stock is cloudy and gelatinous like an old fashioned aspic so it’s not very appetizing to look at. Is this safe to warm and eat? I was hoping to get a nice clear golden liquid.

Can I redeem this batch? If not then how do I process my next batch so that I get the golden Lear liquid chicken stock.

Thanks to you pro chefs for your guidance!
