AT AMAZON, Bikinis for Women.
Also, save on Men’s Underwear.
IN THE POCKET:
MELANIA WAS A MODEL. SHE’S WORKED WITH A LOT OF WOMEN. ‘You know that woman is lying, don’t you?’: Melania Trump reportedly did not believe Blasey Ford.
I DON’T EVEN LIKE THE REGULAR KIND: Here Comes Political Soccer. However, if people on the right don’t like the Women’s National Team, they should just find some solid high-school male players and have them identify as female. Replace them!
“FACT-CHECKING” IN OUR TIME: Snopes Admits Obama Had Betsy Ross Flags, But Says They’re Racist, Anyway.

MORE PROTON-PUMP PROBLEMS: Reflux Drugs Tied to Bone Fractures in Children. “After controlling for sex, preterm birth, obesity and other variables, they found that compared with those who did not get them, those given P.P.I.s before age 1 were at a 23 percent increased risk for fracture. There was a 31 percent increased risk when the infants took H2 antagonists at the same time. The risk increased with longer use, but did not rise when H2 antagonists were used alone.”
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED VIA PAYPAL: I just sent out a bunch of thank-you notes, but if mine missed you somehow, well, thanks very much! (Bumped).
CHANGE: Conservative party wins Greek election, ousts left-wing PM. And the Golden Dawn extremists fell off the table, as the actual right gave right-leaning Greeks someone conservative to vote for.
THIS IS NOT JUST FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA: Earthquake preparedness: What to do before — and during — a big one. Remember, the New Madrid fault!
More on Earthquake Preparedness here and here.
UPDATE: In the comments, a reader recommends Rock and Roll: The New Madrid Fault System.
TRADE: Trump says ‘favored-nations clause’ on drug prices is on its way. “President Donald Trump on Friday said his administration intends to announce a plan to decrease prescription drug costs based on the lowest price other countries pay. . . . The announcement comes less than two weeks after Trump signed an executive order to improve the transparency of healthcare costs. The order requires hospitals and insurance companies to tell patients their rates for medical services and what patients will be expected to pay out of pocket before undergoing treatment. Since his inauguration, Trump has made reducing prescription drug costs a priority of his administration.”
AT AMAZON, save on Bestselling Jewelry.
STAYING ON THE CURIOUS CASE: Scott Johnson of Powerline stays on the curious, nefarious and possibly deviously criminal case of Rep. Ihlan Omar (D-MN). This is Scott’s eighth post in his Loose Threads In the Curious Case series. In this post Scott chastises the Washington Post for covering for Omar — which is what the Minneapolis Star Tribune has been doing for years. Scott has another Omar series, From the Mixed Up Files of Rep. Ilhan Omar. Here’s a post where he questions a Strib editor. This June 12 post is an example of Scott’s own sleuthing. He is starting to get traction from other critical other media. So stay tuned.
RELATED: Turkish media want Turks to support Rep. Ilhan Omar’s campaign. Scan the article and you’ll see the original story appeared in a pro-government media outlet. The JNS article includes a photo of Omar with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

THEY TOLD ME IF DONALD TRUMP WERE PRESIDENT, OPEN AND SHAMELESS RACISM WOULD RULE. AND THEY WERE RIGHT! AfroFuture Music Festival Charges White People Double the Ticket Price.
At least there are some people standing up to the bigotry: Biracial rapper pulls out of festival after learning white people charged $10 more than people of color.
FLASHBACK: The Revolt Against The Masses.
OLD AND BUSTED: Fight the Power!
The New Hotness? Fight the Pollen! “Botanical Sexism Cultivates Home-Grown Allergies. It’s the time year for watery eyes and itchy noses, and if you’re among the afflicted, you may be surprised to learn that decades of botanical sexism in urban landscapes have contributed to your woes.”

ECO-TERRORISM: Climate Extremists Plan to Attack Airport with Small Drones.
NEW SOCIALIST “IT GIRL” CONTINUES TO PAY DIVIDENDS: Trump compared AOC to Evita, according to new book.
“She’s got talent. Now, that’s the good news. The bad news: she doesn’t know anything. She’s got a good sense, an ‘it’ factor, which is pretty good, but she knows nothing. But with time, she has real potential,” Trump said about the first-term congresswoman.
”I called her Eva Perón,” the president revealed. “I said, ’That’s Eva Perón. That’s Evita.’”
And right on cue:
“It won’t be easy. You’ll think it’s strange. When I try to explain how I feel, that I still need your love. After all that I’ve done, you won’t believe me. All you will see, is a girl you once knew. although she’s dressed up to the nines, at sixes and sevens with you…Don’t cry for me, District 14…”
Exit quote: “Look just because she’s favorably comparing herself to the lady that Franco liked a lot who sheltered Mengele doesn’t mean… OK, I forgot where I was doing with this.”
