After announcing a restock and new batch of products — which she teased as 'delicious surprises' — on Monday, June 16, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, celebrated the launch day arriving with a new photo on Instagram on Friday, June 20. In the photo, Meghan could be seen smiling as she swung on a swing in a picturesque outdoor area. 'No more sleeps!' the post on As ever's Instagram was captioned. Meghan also reposted the photo on her Instagram Stories with the same caption and a countdown timer to the products going live with the heading 'As Ever Summer Drop.' The timer showed that the products were due to drop in seven hours, 56 minutes and 34 seconds at the time of Meghan's post. While announcing the summer drop on June 16, Meghan wrote on her Instagram Stories, 'So much love has gone into I can't wait to share it with you this Friday, June 20th!' The words accompanied a post from As ever's Instagram account and showed a stack of six pancakes beautifully plated outdoors, topped with raspberries and drizzled with what appeared to be honey. 'Oh yes, honey…sweet things await. Mark your calendars for June 20 at 8 a.m. PT - we're bringing back your favorites, plus some delicious surprises you won't want to miss! 🍯,' read the caption. As ever previously teased more products to come in a post on Instagram on June 3, sharing a photo of a table packed with bowls of berries and a cutting board with measuring cups, some squeezed lemons and a jar of jam — which happens to be one of Meghan's signature products. "To all who've been wondering and waiting, thank you!" the caption read. "Your favorites are returning, plus a few NEW things we can't wait to show you. Coming this excited!"

"Are we going to replenish and sell out again in an hour, or is that annoying as a customer?" she said to her podcast guest Tina Knowles. "I'm looking at it saying, just pause. That happened. Let's wait until we are completely stable, and we have everything we need." Read the original article on People

Melania shows President Trump the contempt he deserves. What's her secret?
I want to know: What is Melania Trump's secret? The first lady seems to be the only one who can do anything she wants regarding President Donald Trump and suffer no ill will from him. She comes and goes out of Trump's life on her own schedule most of the time – and she shows complete and total disdain for the president when she is with him. She attended the disaster of a military parade with Trump June 14 looking as bored as one could possibly look – and then skipped the G7 conference, leaving him wandering around looking like a lost puppy. Most spouses of other heads of state attended. Others who have embarrassed the president publicly this way have disappeared, never to be seen again. What power does she hold over him? If she could bottle it, she could make millions. Felton Marans, Lakewood Ranch This article originally appeared on Sarasota Herald-Tribune: Melania shows President Trump little respect. Good for her. | Letter

USMNT Star's Reaction To Seeing President Trump Goes Viral
USMNT Star's Reaction To Seeing President Trump Goes Viral originally appeared on The Spun. The Juventus F.C. soccer club were at the White House on Wednesday ahead of their FIFA Club World Cup match that night and it was an awkward experience for the USMNT star who was part of the trip. Advertisement Juventus and USMNT winger Tim Weah spoke to the media today and had a mixed reaction to the visit to see President Donald Trump. He said that he was given no choice but to go and felt that the whole thing was "a bit weird." Weah said that while it was "a cool experience" to go to the White House, President Trump made it uncomfortable by talking about politics while he was there. "It was all a surprise to me, honestly — they told us that we have to go and I had no choice but to go so I showed up," Weah said. "I guess it was a cool experience being in the White House for the first time. It's always wonderful but I'm not one for politics so it wasn't that exciting. "I was caught by surprise, honestly. It was a bit weird. When he started talking about the politics with Iran and everything, it's kind of like, I just want to play football, man." It certainly appeared to be awkward for most, if not all, of the players there beside Weah at the White House. Everyone simply stood awkwardly behind President Trump in the Oval Office as the President fielded questions and spoke about everything from ongoing armed conflicts to his political enemies.

Photographer: Ken Cedeno/UPI/Bloomberg viaFans were critical of the team allowing itself to get into a political situation: Advertisement "Bad publicity for the team. How could anyone think this is good for the team and the name of Juventus to get caught in politics," one user remarked on X. "How the (expletive) is this happening lol? Juventus, from Italy, in the background answering these questions lol." "You know how random it is to answer military stance questions with an Italian football team just standing behind lmao why are they there???" It was weird for everyone, not just Weah and not just the players. Well, maybe not for President Trump.
