I love the blood orange sun color which seems more common this time of year.

Love the pictures, as usual. Some people here think I never say anything positive about Trump, because I would prefer Rubio or DeSantis as my Republican President. So here is my positive statement about Trump. I think his new hairpiece actually makes him look younger and more vibrant. It's not like a Howard Cosell hairpiece. I still think Trump will be responsible for the Republicans losing the House in the mid-terms (hopefully not the Senate), because he wants to make the election all about him, and that he will never accept responsibility for the defeat, and that he will be impeached again, but that is the road he has decided to go down. 64 percent of current voters disapprove of Trump's performance in office, and the majority of voters disapprove of his Iran War. But hey, why talk about that, when we can talk about re-naming Lake Ontario to Lake America. GO MAGA!!!

The other day, coming into Fort Worth, there was a thin overcast. Not enough to blot out the sun entirely, just enough to screen it. And with the sun still high in the sky, late afternoon, the sun was a bright orange orb, about the same color as in photo #2, but slightly dimmer. Looked like a huge, orange, 75 watt bulb, bright but not painful to look at. The overcast was correspondingly orange, and with the temps over 100°, it created a feeling of a stuffy, tepid, prehistorical climate, hot and arid. Very rare to see the sun like that.

It’s the Senate’s fault the Republicans are going to lose the House. They have sucked the life out of the Trump coalition by refusing to pass the 80-20 legislation the House is feeding them. Ironically, they won’t lose the Senate.

It makes no sense to say Trump wants the midterms to be all about Trump. That’s the Democrats—in their hands, everything, literally everything, is about Trump.

Trump put out a chart of best and worst presidents. He of course made himself the GOAT. The bottom row has some predictable entries, such as JC and Barack Hussein Obama. But it also has Grant! I am surprised that Trump, a New Yorker, would issue such a harsh verdict on old Sam.

I mean he had the scandals among his staff, but you could say kinda the same thing about Trump. Blame Grant for Delano, Belknap, etc., and you have to blame Trump for Fauci and Milley, don't you? And of course Grant presided over the 1876 election and its death blow to Reconstruction, but really the country was not in a mood to force any more changes in the South. Blaming Grant for this would be like blaming Trump for the 2020 riots.

And Buchanan is one rung above Grant! WTF?

Plus, interestingly enough, FDR is on the Great rung, just below Trump's one-man category of Greatest.

What does the commentariat think? Does Sam Grant belong on the same lowest rung as JC, BHO, Warren Harding, and Autopen? CC, JSM
