Remember when the Left pointed to Europe as their model for enlightened political policy?
Per Grok:
The EU Pact on Migration and Asylum entered into force in June 2026. It emphasizes border screening, accelerated asylum/return procedures (often at borders), mandatory solidarity mechanisms, and faster processing. Complementary Return Regulation measures (passed in Parliament with strong support, e.g., votes around 389–418 in favor) include mutual recognition of return orders across member states, extended detention, “return hubs” in third countries, and efforts to raise the historically low ~20% effective return rate for rejected asylum seekers. hrw.org

Martin van Buren was born 150 years after his first Dutch ancestor immigrated to New Amsterdam. 150 years before my birth, none of my ancestors had immigrated to America yet.
180 years before my birth, at least 3 of my great-great-great-great-great grandfathers were soldiers in the War of Independence. They weren’t MAGA but they sure were MAG.
The Moon occults Venus a little after 1 pm today. Easily visible once you find the crescent Moon in the sky. Be a great shot over the lake in the E/SE sky about 2/3 to zenith.

A tiny Althouse the size of a big Althouse.
Man...you've had some beautiful sunrises lately.
in living technicolor.
Great pic. Life is good.
Oh gosh, more red algae bloom... And look, green algae right there in the water at Althouse feet.
"Man...you've had some beautiful sunrises lately."
These were rainy days.
Althouse is irradiated.

Here’s a trivia question that got me.

The beauty of that pic disturbs me… almost to the point of insanity... There. I am insane now.
Sven: what do you have there Ole?
Ole: Lena got it for me. It’s the darndest thing. It’s called a thermos. It keeps hot things hot and keeps cold things cold?
Sven: so what do you have inside?
Ole: Soup and a popsicle.
Name the U.S. president whose first language wasn’t English

Martin van Buren
(That was the one day I was paying attention in 4th grade).
Name the first First Lady who wasn’t the first and hardly a lady.
Martin van Buren was born 150 years after his first Dutch ancestor immigrated to New Amsterdam. 150 years before my birth, none of my ancestors had immigrated to America yet.
It keeps hot things hot and keeps cold things cold
How do it know?
A brighter sun would have produced red, white, and blue! Brava!
I miss the lake sunrises. Sunrise over the Susquehanna is obscured by downtown Harrisburg (ew) and decent upriver photo ops are an hour's drive away.
Beautiful image. A little help from Photoshop could clean up the areas of demarkation (if that's the right word).
"How do it know?"
Indeed!
180 years before my birth, at least 3 of my great-great-great-great-great grandfathers were soldiers in the War of Independence. They weren’t MAGA but they sure were MAG.

The left half of your lovely photo is very Maxfield Parrish!
