Note: The times in the post title are all correct, but Photo #4 was, unlike the rest, taken on the 16th. And, of course, Photo #3 shows not the sunrise, but the moonset.

What a beautiful tree! Makes me long for the midwest... until I remember that winter approacheth.
The more I watch JD do q&a at town halls the more he impresses me. He’s gone all the way around the learning curve in 3 months and is already ready for whatever comes his way.

The election is about two clear choices: Do you want someone who can competently steer the ship of state, or make it easier for you to kill your babies.
Dream ticket: Tulsi and JD. Maybe next time.
If that isn't a ridiculous enough choice, a lot of the "kill your babies" voters aren't even capable of having babies.
I like that fourth one. You’ve got a painterly eye, Althouse. I don’t mean Jackson Pollock.
The season of mists and mellow fruitfulness has always been my favorite.
It any other Republican other than Trump was our nominee, they would be 10 percentage points ahead of Harris. It wouldn't even be close.
When people complain about how Hillary and Kamala sound, it reminds me of how nice Tulsi’s voice is.
In my wife's family- basically my family now, and among all our collective children, the women of child bearing age- and all those above it - are all anti-abortion.
I realize that is a select group. But they are all busy having babies. I'm up to 10 grandchildren.
Among my HS graduating class of 1973 from an upper middle class area (my family wasn't upper middle in terms of income...) I haven't yet found anyone else with 5 children. Seems the average is <2...
Dream on lonejustice. I know a lot of people voting only because Trump is running. Ron DeSantis- who would have been my primary choice had it not already been decided by the time NY had it's primaries, couldn't gain traction among Republicans. If he had received the nomination- he would be characterized as the next Hitler. In fact, I thing he and the governor of Texas are currently sharing that label among Democrats leaders and the media- but I repeat myself..
So, Lonejustice- explain why no one beat Trump in the Republican primaries in 3 cycles.
Lemania DD done today. Four to go…
"It any other Republican other than Trump was our nominee, they would be 10 percentage points ahead of Harris."
Since most Republicans want Trump (see: recent presidential primaries) , just about all of that "10 percent" you mention would necessarily have to come from Harris supporters. You said "any other Republican", name seven.

See, this is why nobody takes you seriously. For one, you have no way of knowing that. None.
And two, if there's soooooo much support for anybody-but-Trump, why did he receive 13 million more votes the second time he ran. More than any Republican in history?
And just why did he cruise to the nomination instead of all the other people who'd be '10 points ahead?'
Ever think you're the one who's way off base?
Your Trump hate is making you stupid. But, you have plenty of company on this board. They're voting for Harris.
I remember Sarah Palin’s voice, skreeeeeek.
“ Makes me long for the midwest... until I remember that winter approacheth”
I love the winter! The entire cycle is beautiful and if you can feel that, you’ll be happy and strong.
I don't so much love winter as love the cycle. I left Phoenix to come back to Idaho for that. In the desert, there were six months of summer and another two of "just about summer"- far too much. I'm happy to have three months for each season now.
I used to love the winter . . . but the cycle is beautiful and I'd miss it.
That tree - amazing.
When riots broke out and cities were burning, Kamala Harris didn't call for law and order. She called for the police to be defunded. Then she helped raise money for the violent rioters.
& - when Cindy Romaro - who lives in the Aurora Apartment complex taken over by Illegal Venezuelan gangs - called the police- she was told the higher ups told the police they could not respond.
Local D-hack loyalist media rushed in to deny. Until she put up cameras.
Trump is too old IMHO (or soon will be) but a vote for Harris is a vote for The Blob so I'll go for Trump.
He might not finish four years for any number of reasons, if he wins, and I'd rather have Vance step up, than Coach Dim if they win.
HEY LOOK, MORE IMAGINARY GANG TAKEOVERS OF APARTMENT COMPLEXES This time in San Antonio, Texas, where the Tren De Aragua gang from Venezuela has taken over FOUR apartment complexes there. For a figment of Danielle Jurinsky's imagination they sure get a lot of stuff done.
dyslexic sees Melania DD
Many people, including Robert F Kennedy Jr himself and his legal team in court filings, have presented the 2024 situation and asked a question. Essentially:
Why did the DNC apparatus sue to keep RFK JR’s name off certain state ballots and simultaneously sue to keep him on certain state ballots?
It just didn’t make sense….
AMEN!
... until now
County-level ballots were contracted for localized printing by those who intended to use blank ballots for fraudulent purposes; essentially “ballot making.”
RFK Jr’s name ON or OFF ballots, changes the dynamic of the paper format and the physical alignment in the scanner.
The county tabulation scanners need one ballot format per county to scan for vote tally.
In states where they preprinted/made the fraudulent county level ballots *without* RFK Jr’s name, the DNC sued to keep him off.
In states where they preprinted/made the fraudulent county level ballots *with* RFK Jr’s name, the DNC sued to keep him on.
That’s the answer.
WI AG Josh Kaul’s agents raided the office and home of Wausau’s mayor on Wednesday. Apparently Kaul didn’t like that Mayor Diny removed an insecure ballot drop box from outside city hall and moved it inside. Agents took numerous items including cell phones from the mayors home and office including the mayors wife’s phone. Not sure but our state AG seems like he might be a commie.
so what is Texas Cowboy Abbott doing about it?
so who told on the mayor?
The clerk who placed it outside. Sorry, meant to include the link.
https://thefederalist.com/2024/10/18/exclusive-wisconsins-leftist-led-doj-raids-wausau-mayors-home-in-ballot-drop-box-probe/
The WI SC ruled that the lock boxes are under the authority and jurisdiction of the city clerk. The Mayor was politically against lockboxes and was unauthorized to move it. He should’ve known better. Hopefully he gets off with just a slap on the wrist, he seems like a decent fellow.
So raiding the Mayors office and home and office and taking their devices seems apt then. Maybe you would like to comment on Kauls indictment of Trumps election atty for “uttering a forgery”. To include attempting to seal and gag the retired WI judge. Seems normal. For the USSR.
Thank you so much for the pictures of the colors of Fall. God, I miss that. Thanks.

Recall when the Democratic left insulted blacks by saying they were to dumb to have a photo ID?
Well - now the excuse Kamala(D) is using to kill voter ID requirements --> rural voters are unable and too stupid to make photocopies.
Horrible
Interfering with the electoral process is something any citizen would be investigated for. Diny as the Mayor is not above the law. He was warned not to tamper with the drop box.
“Council President Rasmussen said Diny was previously advised by the city attorney that he did not have the right to move the box, which was locked and awaiting installation by the Department of Public Works. Rasmussen said the fact that Diny removed the box even after receiving advice against doing so is especially relevant to Wausau’s ethics code.”

I’m unfamiliar with the case you’re referring to regarding “Trump’s election atty.”
Probably because Kaul attempted to do his handiwork in the dark.
COMMIES GONNA COMMIE
Things you probably didn’t know
In June WI AG Josh Kaul criminally indicted retired judge and Trump 2020 election atty. James Troupis for “conspiring to utter a forgery” for his part in establishing an alternate slate of electors in Dec. 2020.
Prior to the public announcement of the indictment, Kauls office requested and was granted that the filings be sealed and a gag order was placed on Troupis through the subpoena he was served several days after the public announcement.
The judge relented and now we can see the motion to quash and the motion to unseal where there is much to learn.
In Bush v Gore, the Supreme Court ruled against Gore because his team failed to produce an alternate slate of electors and Troupis was not about to make the same mistake. Prior to doing so he notified all relevant parties of his intent to include Josh Kauls office. The AG understood why this was necessary and provided guidance to the WI election commission that this was proper procedure.
Under Troupis’ leadership the WI challenge to the Nov election was based on improper use of absentee ballots in both Dane and Milwaukee counties. In addition there was a recount of both counties. In the end Troupis lost in the WI Supreme Court 4-3 citing the doctrine of laches. Troupis needed to keep his options open while the challenges wound their way through the court system so he had the alternate electors meet on Dec 14th , the designated date for electors to vote.

Ahhhh, Troupis. Fake electors. The WI fake electors scheme isn’t being prosecuted the way other states are doing, more’s the pity. Who the hell do they think they were? We already had legal state electors to do their duty in certifying the election. The fake elector schemes were election interference.
The 2020 Fake Electors Scheme:
How What Started in Wisconsin Spread Nationally
“In 2020, far right extremists concocted an elaborate plan to overturn the will of the people and take away our freedom to elect those who govern in our name. These election deniers violated the law. The following is a timeline of events showing how the fake electors scheme was born in Wisconsin and spread like a cancer to other states. Wisconsin was ground zero.
In America, the people decide elections. We at Law Forward have worked tirelessly to bring transparency and accountability to both the architects of and foot soldiers for the fake electors scheme.”
Hi Professor Althouse! Ten years, no talk. I just wanted to let you know that I was inspired by you today while faced with a local political communication problem here in Cicero-Clay NY (where a huge new Chip plant is going to be built and change everything about the community). The best solution, after carefully reflecting on every available option, became obvious: Community "CAFE" threads to encourage local discussion. Thank you, from the ghost of times past, for everything you do. It is absolutely wonderful to be able to reflect back in time 10 years or so and find that your simple astute solution still works! May G-d bless you, Professor Althouse!
..apologies to the lysdexics…

Please do yourself a favor and read, at a minimum, the motion to quash found at the link above. Otherwise you risk looking seriously uninformed, at best, or profoundly dishonest.
Can’t blame the mayor of Wausau too much. He saw unsecured property and he secured it to prevent loss. It’s a Wausau tradition:

I guess the mayor’s family didn’t have a dog for them to shoot, too.
what does wasau insurance company say about leaving city property unsecured? mayor should get advisory letter from them for his defence
Naranayan, the Wausau company was absorbed by Liberty Mutual in 1999. So the mayor knows about connected big business destroying small town jobs….
