Big Brother has never been fair. The whole premise is based on lying.
I love Aria. I’ve been going every year since it opened.
This isn’t the first time that BB had relatives on together.
Totally OT
I am supposed to be going to Vegas on Monday and staying at Aria.
MGM Resorts computer systems were hacked on Sunday and it is still chaos.
I thought about cancelling but apparently it’s almost impossible to get in touch with them.
I would open it up.
I am definitely liking Cameron more than I did but that could be because there aren’t too many likable people. He is starting to get too full of himself though.
When does jury start? I love seeing the facial expressions when Julie tells the booted houseguest about Cirie and Jared. Cameron’s face would be delightful to see.
I hope Felicia leaves tonight.

GOP Rep. Ken Buck calls Marjorie Taylor Greene's comments on timeline for Biden impeachment inquiry 'absurd'
“The time for impeachment is the time when there’s evidence linking President Biden — if there’s evidence linking President Biden to a high crime or misdemeanor. That doesn’t exist right now,” said Buck, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus.
Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., a member of the hardline conservative House Freedom Caucus, dismissed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s comments on a timeline for an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden as "absurd" during an interview on “Inside with Jen Psaki” on Sunday.
In a video posted online last month, Greene said she won’t support any measure to fund the government before a Sept. 30 deadline until the House votes to formally begin an impeachment inquiry into the president. Greene, however, shifted her tone in a post to X, formerly known as Twitter, last weekend: “Our country deserves for Congress to vote for an impeachment inquiry for very important reasons, not a rush impeachment vote.”
Asked by Psaki to respond to Greene's shift in the timeline on a vote to begin a Biden impeachment inquiry, Buck noted that the far-right lawmaker first filed impeachment articles on Biden just after he was sworn into office, adding that "the idea that that she is now the expert on impeachment or that she is someone who should set the timing on impeachment is absurd."
“The time for impeachment is the time when there’s evidence linking President Biden — if there’s evidence linking President Biden to a high crime or misdemeanor. That doesn’t exist right now,” he said. “And it is really something that we can say, well, in February, we’re going to do this. It’s based on the facts. You go where the facts take you.”
Buck then argued that Republicans should not prioritize impeachment, citing the multiple congressional committees that are investigating Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings but have not found a “strong connection at this point” to the president.
Buck went on to discuss the “perfect storm” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy faces as he tries to pass a short-term spending bill and to move forward with a Biden impeachment vote. McCarthy’s right-wing members are rebelling against a stopgap bill to prevent a government shutdown and buy more time for negotiations with the Senate.
“On the one hand, we’ve got to pass a continuing resolution,” he said. “We also have the impeachment issue. And we also have members of the House, led by my good friend, Chip Roy, who are concerned about policy issues. They want riders in the appropriations bills, amendments in the appropriations bills that guarantee some type of security on our Southern border.”
“So you take those things put together, and Kevin McCarthy, the speaker, has made promises on each of those issues to different groups. And now it is all coming due at the same time,” he added, noting the difficulty in passing a continuing resolution with only Republican votes. "
And so I think if he reaches across the aisle and gets Democrat votes that goes with a higher number than he has promised before, I think that that is the issue really that I think will cause him problems down the road."
Buck, however, predicted that McCarthy would ultimately hold onto his speakership, despite those challenges due to the lack of people willing to step up and take his job.
“I don’t see anybody else that really has risen up and is willing to take on this job,” he said. “Having a five vote majority — you wouldn’t wish that on your worst enemy in terms of being speaker of the U.S. House. And so it is very difficult for him to operate the House in a way that keeps everybody happy.”
“I think there will be challenges, but I don’t see anybody stepping up and say, I’ll take Kevin’s job,” he added. “So I think that’s really what saves Kevin is the lack of enthusiasm from anybody else to do the job.”
Buck’s comments come months after he confirmed that Greene had been booted from the House Freedom Caucus, citing her repeated “attacks” on GOP colleagues.
His remarks also come as the White House ramps up a war room to lead a response to a Republican impeachment inquiry into Biden, NBC News previously reported.
Biden’s aides and allies have said they are preparing to push back on an impeachment inquiry as a partisan hit job
The White House’s preparations for impeachment began when Republicans took the majority House majority this year. But McCarthy has suggested that the House is moving closer toward an impeachment impeachment inquiry, calling it a “natural step forward."
Big Brother has gotten downright stupid.

NY Election Officials Warn About Voter Roll Vigilantes
Putnam and Suffolk county residents were among those confronted, a BOE spokesperson said.
HUDSON VALLEY, NY — The New York Board of Elections is warning that voters across the state are being confronted by people impersonating election officials regarding their registration status, and erroneously accused of committing a crime because of how they appear in the state voter database.
"We are extremely alarmed by these actions. These individuals are impersonating government officials in an effort to intimidate voters based on inaccurate and misleading information," Raymond J. Riley III, Co-Executive Director of the State Board of Elections, said in a statement issued Aug. 30. "We strongly encourage those engaging in these activities to cease immediately."
The state BOE knows that residents were contacted in Albany, Chautauqua, Jefferson, Onondaga, Ontario, Orange, Putnam, Saratoga, Schenectady, Steuben, Suffolk, Warren, and Washington counties, spokesperson Kathleen McGrath told Patch.
"This list may grow, as this is an ongoing situation," she said. "And it’s impossible to know how many other incidents may have occurred, where the voter did not alert a County Board or local law enforcement."
The State Board alerted all county boards Aug. 29 and encouraged them to track details of any incidents and report them to local law enforcement. The State Board has passed along information to state and federal law enforcement, as well.
"There have been cases where the voter has been confronted by individual(s) claiming to be from a Board of Elections (some demanding to see the voter’s license). The individual(s) have claimed the voter is committing a crime by being registered to vote in multiple places in New York State," she wrote in an email. "In each case we have seen thus far, the voter has been properly registered at their current address, but had an earlier voter registration at a former address in a different county in the state (which has been properly purged by the county, as is the normal process when New Yorkers move from county to county). In other words, the voter only had one active registration in the database, and it was at their current address."
Putnam County Board of Elections Commissioner Cathy Croft told Patch that four residents had called the BOE after being approached. They called because they had become concerned about the status of their voter registration, she said.
"Calls came from all over the county including Philipstown, Carmel and Kent," she said.
State officials said county elections board staffs work year-round to ensure elections are safe and secure, including extensive record-keeping to protect from bad actors — including these.
State officials said a voter approached by someone claiming to be from the state or a county board of elections should immediately request identification. "If the individual refuses or appears under suspicious circumstances, the State Board recommends collecting as much information as possible, not providing the individual with any personal information, and contacting local law enforcement to report the incident."
Criminal impersonation in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor in New York.
"While we note the pattern of activity and believe it to be a coordinated effort, we will leave determining who is responsible for these interactions with voters up to law enforcement," McGrath said.
Although the State Board of Elections did not name any suspected perpetrators, a group called New York Citizens Audit issued a statement Aug. 31 implying that the state could be making a "precipitous and unfounded" announcement that could discourage citizen participation in "legal investigations of election procedures."
The group's executive director told the USA Today network that her group had started "doing field work after state officials failed to act on its allegations about duplicate registrations and more" and insisted her "researchers" were using "lawful methods," the Times Herald-Record reported.
The group's voter fraud allegations were detailed in a March article on syracuse.com, after which the paper's editorial board weighed in with an opinion piece: "NY election ‘citizen auditors’ are playing a dangerous game."

Here is how FOX will spin this…..1 of 2 ways
1) She doesn’t really have it but Biden doesn’t want to go to the G20 Summit in India because he is old and feeble.
Or
2) If Biden goes to the G20, they will say how dare he go when he was exposed to Covid.

They haven’t aged well, and I’m not talking about their comments.
Trump has aged them all!
That would be perfect if they ruled against him but I won’t hold my breath.
My biggest fear is getting stuck in an elevator!
Vegas also has flooding. I am headed there in a couple of weeks. I hope it’s dry.

One other thing: if someone you know is hiking, they need to prepare their boots. Plastic bag on your bare foot, then sock over it, then put boot or shoe on. There are lots of places where you sink into the mud down to your ankle. You need the plastic bag to avoid being soaked
