Althouse: Fall color a sunrise...

October 26, 2021

Fall color a sunrise...

... with a view of the sun...

... and with the moon...

Bonus view, much later, at 2:41 p.m., when I return to my lakeside path, walking this time, and going twice as far....

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Is there a chance Houston and Atlanta baseball crowds will breakout in "Let's Go Brandon" chants? I would be very surprised if that happened.; 10/26/21, 6:08 PM
Jaq said...: I was in Cooperstown, NY last weekend, and there was a store selling Democrat dolls. They had a whole collection, from Biden and Obama to Fauci, and the Fauci doll had a "removable mask." These are like objects of worship with the Democrats. Remember when they had the Mueller votive candles? Senile Mueller, not in charge if the investigation, and senescent Biden, not in charge of his administration.; 10/26/21, 6:16 PM

Sydney said...: I watched the Dave Chapelle special, “The Closer” tonight. It isn’t the kind of thing I would normally watch, but all the news references made me want to see it. I know it’s an act. I know it’s comedy. I know comedians say outrageous things to get a laugh. But isn’t there always a kernel of truth in it? He seemed to be throwing down the gauntlet to the trans community, almost daring them to come after him. His comedy isn’t as viscous against trans people as it is against whites and especially women, but he definitely got serious at the end when he told the story of his trans friend who committed suicide after being attacked by a Twitter mob for defending him and then told the trans community to stop punching down at his people.; 10/26/21, 9:06 PM
Laslo Spatula said...: If Wesley Snipes shot and killed a white woman on a movie set would he not be in jail?

Free Wesley Snipes, people.

Gospace said...: The whole Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Which I'll say upfront doesn't apply only to criminal proceedings.

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Nor be deprived of liberty without due process of law. Yet in NYC, now the entirety of California, the unvaxxed are presumed to be guilty of being diseased and infectious with no proof whatsoever and are prohibited form engaging in normal commerce. Their liberty has been usurped without due process of law. But by order of dictatorial mayors, governors, and a dementia addled president. And courts everywhere are outright refusing to hear any antivax cases...; 10/27/21, 12:43 AM
Drago said...: So Huma Abedin, in her new book, is claiming she was sexually assaulted by a sitting US Senator in 2005 but repressed the memory of it until the Kavanaugh rape-hoax-lies pushed by LLR Chuck's democratical hero liars caused Huma to regain the memory!

Seriously.

So what is this about you might ask?

Abedin, as a hardcore Clintonite, though only slightly more Clintonite than the LLR's/NeverTrumpers, though all are strong democratical partisans, can always be counted on to do whatever it takes to advance the Clinton's interests.

So I will venture a wild guess at this time that the 2005 sitting Senator in question will be Chuck Schumer and the intent is to drive him into retirement to open that Senate seat up for Chelsea.

I dont think Nita Lowey seat is "big" enough to reenergize the Clinton Grift Machine.; 10/27/21, 1:46 AM
Big Mike said...: So tell me Althouse, did any of the information sources you diligently read mention that the Loudoun County students themselves staged a walkout yesterday? The Loudoun County girls want to be able to go to the rest room in safety, without fear of being raped. Can you imagine that? I suppose thst in the minds of 21st century feminists the teenaged girls of Loudoun are regarded as snowflakes.; 10/27/21, 5:15 AM
Jaq said...: "Song of Lunch" is a movie made from a narrative poem with Alan Rickman. It's on Amazon. Surprisingly good.; 10/27/21, 5:42 AM

Mike of Snoqualmie said...: The election for King County Executive is between Dow "The Incompetent" Constantine, the 12-year incumbent, and Joe Nguyen, a left-wing state senator. Neither one is capable of solving the homeless crisis and neither one believes in prosecution of crimes. My write-in vote for that office is Lucy van Pelt, one of the Peanuts gang. She would be much more capable than either of those two jokers.

One of the races for the Port of Seattle also involves incompetents/left-wingers. My write-in vote is for Sally Brown, also of the Peanuts gang. Run stupid candidates, get stupid votes.; 10/27/21, 8:05 AM
Mike of Snoqualmie said...: The January 6th riot was an FBI operation. Ray Epps and John Sullivan were in the crowd on January 5th and 6th trying to direct the crowd to storm the Capitol. Both of these "gentlemen" are not being prosecuted. They directed a small group to break through the barriers around the Capitol grounds, then once that happened, the Capitol police removed the rest of the barriers so the crowd could easily enter. Same thing with the Capitol building: break-in then allow the crowd in.

None of those actively involved in the break-ins are being prosecuted. But those who acted like tourists are being mistreated and are having the book thrown at them.

This was a FBI operation to discredit Donald Trump and Republicans. The Lie-Stream Media is still misleading their audiences. One of the programs promoted the zip-tie hoax. The zip-ties were in a bin in a Capitol entrance. No one brought them.; 10/27/21, 8:38 AM
Ryan said...: Had surgery yesterday to remove a 3x2 cm pituitary tumor. Nasal endoscopic. Feeling alright. Modern medicine.; 10/27/21, 8:54 AM
farmgirl said...: Ryan: you sure must be! Last I knew, the pituitary is in the brain. You had brain surgery, dude!!!
Through the nose??! Oh, just wow. Keep healing!

I mean- through the nose… Who knew?; 10/27/21, 6:32 PM
Ryan said...: Yes that is right, through the nose! Thanks, they got the whole tumor out (non-cancerous) and I am recovering nicely. I have had great medical care and am lucky that one of the best pituitary tumor surgeons in the world (Daniel Kelly) is 15 mins away from my house.

Ps I only found out about the tumor after being hospitalized for severe hyponatremia (very low sodium, 103). Scary brush with death...; 10/27/21, 9:31 PM
