"While Gabby understood that Chris was thinking far in advance, she also believed that his "calculated thoughts" about the Fantasy Suites were inappropriate. However, as the conversation continued, Rachel began to get fed up with Chris and ultimately cut off his excuses, as she stated, "I really do feel like right now, you could take the opportunity to maybe apologize and own up to what happened. But instead, I still feel as if you're being condescending towards us. I feel like you're dancing around the issue."

Gabby added, "We can help make this decision at this point. I don't want anyone to be thinking about Fantasy Suites. It's so early. We don't even know if we have a connection. And it sounds like you have pretty sure thoughts on it. So to not even put you in that place, I do think it would be time for you to go."

Ultimately, the ladies sent Chris packing and immediately walked him out. However, after quite possibly the most uncomfortable exit, Chris snuck back into the mansion, thus triggering Bachelor Nation's PTSD from the time Luke P. refused to go home on Hannah Brown's season circa 2019.

Rachel and Gabby had to kick Chris out a second time, but the two were glad to see him go as they were relieved they were able to get rid of him sooner rather than later.

"What Chris did does not show any qualities of what I want in a partner. The fact that he just thought he could do whatever he wants, I don't know if it's 'cause Gabby and I are women, but it's our decision, and we told you to leave," shared Rachel."

Shared Rachel, yesss. How about that, Bachelorettae!; 7/19/22, 8:01 PM

gadfly said...: The United States Secret Service appears to have violated federal criminal law by destroying text messages from January 5 and 6, 2021 after receiving a request for records related to the attack on the Capitol from the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General.

DHS Inspector General Joseph Cuffari alleges that the Secret Service deleted key messages from the insurrection and the day preceding it after his office requested the messages as part of an investigation into the insurrection. The Justice Department must take this apparent violation of federal law seriously.

Care to explain how this is any different from Clinton's wife refusing to turn over 30,000 emails she had secreted on her private email server, that was never approved to hold official govt communications?

Refusing to prosecute crimes, set the tone and tenor for all Govt agencies. Now we get the results of such favoritism.; 7/20/22, 6:46 AM

"But this year, SpaceX has taken its cadence to another level, with a mix of payloads including its Starlink satellites, crew and cargo missions for NASA, Department of Defense missions, and commercial satellites. As of Monday, the Falcon 9 rocket has launched every 6.4 days this year and has lofted nearly 300,000 kg into low Earth orbit. This is considerably more than every other country and company in the world combined. Two more Starlink launches are likely this week."; 7/20/22, 8:06 AM

"Woodward and Bernstein didn’t just destroy Nixon. They radically altered the course of American history. By bringing down Nixon, they gave us Jimmy Carter. They revealed to their colleagues in the American news media just how much power they all had to shape public opinion - and how much wealth and prestige they could accrue by bending the facts to fit a partisan narrative."

" what ever happened to that earthshaking revelation about covert operations by “the entire U.S. intelligence community”? In the nearly half-century since Watergate, we’ve never heard another word about it. Not from the Post, anyway."

Court Orders DOJ To Cough Up Biden’s Election-Takeover Documents Before Midterms

'A federal district court ruled last week that the Biden Department of Justice must hand over documents related to Biden’s executive order federalizing elections before the 2022 midterms and not after.

As a lawsuit filed by the Foundation for Government Accountability details, the DOJ sought to release the documents in 2023, because any time before that would “put an undue strain on agency resources.” The court sternly disagreed with the DOJ’s timeline and ordered it to provide all the documents requested by the Foundation for Government Accountability before the midterm elections, a major blow to the Biden administration.

As The Federalist has reported, Biden’s executive order directs all 600 federal agencies to focus on increasing voter registration and turnout. Multiple agencies subsequently decided to turn federal facilities — especially those that deal with federal benefits — into voter registration agencies. The agencies are also allowed to work with left-wing get-out-the-vote groups...'

More Hunter Biden e-mails have been released and the media will make up something to make you look the other way.

Rishi Sunak or Liz Truss will become next PM after Penny Mordaunt knocked out of contest

In the fifth and final round of voting by Tory MPs, the leadership contenders received the following support:

Penny Mordaunt - 105 votes
Rishi Sunak - 137 votes
Liz Truss - 113 votes

I'm happy that the slick, articulate, and attractive Penny Mordaunt didn't make the final cut because, from numerous reports, she is also weighed down with a lot of negative baggage. She also talks out of both sides of her mouth.; 7/20/22, 12:34 PM
