The first picture looks out over the lake at 8:03, 33 minutes after sunrise. The second picture — which has the lake in the background (you can see if you look closely) — was taken at 8:11. The sunrise time was 7:36. We were out there in time for it, and I have a photo, but the view was somewhat duller. Do these details matter? They matter a bit to me, 7+ years into something I call The Sunrise Project. What are the rules, if any?

spooky- and that golf ball teed up on the horizon…what does it mean? I. Don’t. Know…
After 7+ years, there isn't anyone more qualified to set the rules.
Being a native Pittsburgher I despise all things Philadelphia, the latest being their Commie DA Larry Krastner. So it warms my heart to see that Philadelphia has relinquished the title of City of Brotherly Love to Minneapolis.
…well played humperdink…
The rules are as fluid as the lake at sunrise.

Why is Trump cancelling all his remaining rallies except for the Daytona Beach rally? He couldn’t be blamed if he is just tired. He got quite upset with a Reuters reporter who asked about his health. Trump needs a rest, a nice long rest.
“On Thursday, October 29, 2026, President Donald Trump lashed out at Reuters White House correspondent Jacob Bogage on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews, launching into a personal, appearance-focused tirade after the journalist questioned him about his health and recent changes to his campaign schedule.
The On-Tarmac Clash…
When Bogage followed up by asking if the cancellation had anything to do with the 80-year-old president being "sick of traveling" or experiencing travel fatigue, Trump reacted sharply:
• The Rebuttal: Trump immediately dismissed the premise, responding, "Oh, you're sick to ask that question. You are sick." After asking what outlet Bogage was with and learning he represented Reuters, Trump called the agency "terrible" and labeled Bogage a "sick guy."
Trump gestured to the surrounding press, saying, "Can you imagine—look at this dope, look at this guy, he's way out of shape... Look at how badly—he comes to me, 'Sir, you're not going to go to Kansas.'"
• The Final Jabs: Before abruptly walking away and ending the press availability, Trump told the reporter, "You've been following me for two weeks. I feel perfect. You are disgusting. Put yourself in shape. You look like hell."“
Touchy, touchy, did the reporter hit a nerve, or the truth?
9:05PM quotes from Google AI
Fox News : "Bari Weiss faced 'significant resistance' from CBS News staffers about Alaska ballot scandal, insiders say"
'It used to happen all the time.' Commentary I heard on the radio.
You get into bed with Hamas and then you're terrified. This woman, the next mayor of Berlin doesn't want to name names because she's afraid her "allies" will harm her family.
What does Inga know? The true mind of Trump. In all its aspects.
The one she's scared to name is Ibrahim Ibrahim.
In the past, Ibrahim Ibrahim has described Yahya Sinwar, the former head of Hamas in Gaza, widely regarded as the mastermind behind the deadly terror attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, as a "martyr" and a "hero."
So, a big fan of rape, murder, and kidnapping. I wouldn't want to hang out with him, either.
“What does Inga know? The true mind of Trump. In all its aspects.”
It’s merely conjecture, I believe it’s part of free speech.
Why yes, there are always rules. I imagine a great deal of discipline and structure go into the Sunrise project. You have made it seem routine, but it is only because you are a trained eye and show up every day. Then I would imagine there must be restraint, in both what the eye settles on and which images are retained. Rules are what promote human flourishing.
The left/MSM keep suggesting Trump is not well. They keep being wrong, but eventually they'll be right (Trump is not immortal) and they'll say "We told you so."
It reminds me of how when Reagan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's nearly six years after leaving office they would say "We told you he wasn't all there."

That first article was a little muddled. This article is better
Elif Eralp, a member of the Berlin House of Representatives with the far-left party "Die Linke," admits that she is very afraid of pro-Palestinian extremists with ties to Hamas. Eralp’s admission was revealed in an internal document that was accidentally sent to journalists at the German newspaper "Der Spiegel," with whom she had conducted an interview.
During the interview, Eralp was asked about antisemitic statements within her party and the connection of some of its members to extremist pro-Palestinian activists. Eralp said she was not aware of the extent of the problem, but she does know that some party members are acting on behalf of Palestinians.
The journalists asked her if she was referring to the extremist pro-Palestinian activist Ibrahim Ibrahim, and she answered yes.
After the interview took place, the transcript was sent to her for approval, but it was mistakenly returned to the newspaper with internal comments and her correspondence with her spokesperson and the party chair, Kerstin Walter. In the document that was sent, she explained that she is afraid for herself and her family, and said that she cannot even mention their names in public, even though some members of her party cooperate with them.
In the comments document, the question about Ibrahim and her answer were deleted.
Well, we got our regular, threatening letter from the democrats. "We'll know if you don't vote, and we'll tell your neighbors." Disgusting.
"The left/MSM keep suggesting Trump is not well."
They've been doing this for years, there's no choice for them but to keep it up. They can hardly stop now and say "We were wrong", now can they?
Inga wishes for Trump's ill health. As always.
Or worse. As always.
Says it's freedom of speech.
Keep talking. You do yourself no favors.
There's a great series called Babylon Berlin. It takes place in Germany in 1929, the Weimar republic. You really get a sense of how some political parties are really just criminal operations. And you see the rise of the Nazi party. It's really well done.
I know we throw around the "Nazi" word quite a bit. But in the case of Hamas, I think there are a lot of similarities. Not just the hatred of Jews. But also the violence, the rapes and murders, the crimes, the hatred for free speech and liberal society. Hamas is a terrorist group. They're not kidding about it. It's a mistake to invite these criminals into Germany. Certainly a mistake to ally yourself with them.

Behold the insanity of the left:
"Neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf was answering a student’s question when she nearly used the word “trump” as a regular English verb, meaning “override” or “overcome” — but she couldn’t bring herself to finish her sentence. She collapsed into her armchair, citing her inability to say “his name” out loud, and instead spelled it out, letter by letter."
Fucked in the head. Every, last one of them.
“It’s merely conjecture, I believe it’s part of free speech.”
Exactly, lies are free speech too.
But in the Biden Admin the FBI was telling Twitter and Facebook what to censor.
Is it true that Trump is "cancelling all his remaining rallies" except one (Inga, 9:05pm)? What I read on Twitter is that he canceled one rally, for the Republican running for the Senate from Kansas, because they're both confident that the guy's going to win without it, and that he's adding rallies for Congressional candidates in more than one state. In other words, nothing to do with any alleged lack of energy, he's just redirecting his time and effort to where they are most needed.
“Original Mike said...
Well, we got our regular, threatening letter from the democrats. "We'll know if you don't vote, and we'll tell your neighbors."
Yes, in Chicago I already got that email from the “Chicago Ellection Bureau, an arm of the teachers union. They say that your vote will be published to the public and you may be asked to answer for it. Safe and fair elections here huh.
We're told that checking eligibility to vote is an invasion of privacy, but democrats are given our voting records for the purpose of intimidation.
What are the rules, if any?

Josephbleau:
If you can find enough neighbors who don't want to vote for any of the available candidates, you could arrange to write in the same name, to get them off your back. If 1,000+ wrote in the same name, people would notice, especially if someone dropped a hint to the press. I believe write-ins are generally listed in decreasing order by total votes in official returns.
So what name would be best? How about "C. T. U. Sucks"? Or "Noe Z. Teacher"? Or "Fark Ewall"? No doubt something better could be found. (The traditional "Nunya Bidness" is probably too tame.)

“The Republican National Committee confirmed in a statement that the Trump rally in Kansas on Saturday and in Iowa on Sunday were canceled.”
NYT
In-person rallies will be done after Daytona Beach tomorrow according to numerous news sources. He supposedly will be doing “tele-rallies”. I can’t blame him, he’s being hammered with hecklers, seems like at every rally. Plus at age 80 it’s not unusual to be fatigued. Some of you folks sound like you expect him to be super human.
“According to campaign officials and Republican strategists, the tele-rallies will feature several distinct changes from his traditional campaign stops:
• Format and Length: Instead of delivering his usual in-person speeches that often exceed 90 minutes, Trump is expected to speak for approximately 10 minutes per event over a telephone broadcast.
• Broader Geographic Reach: White House officials and the RNC stated that the shift allows Trump to maximize his time and reach a wider pool of voters in a high number of tight races simultaneously. He is slated to hold more than 20 tele-rallies before Election Day.
• Targeted States: The virtual events will broadcast to at least 19 states. According to the super PAC MAGA Inc. and the RNC, the target list includes Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.”

Should Amy Acton stop showing up drunk or drugged for rallies (link)?
IEE, you are a mouthpiece of cool vibes that no one believes. iZEE: here I am with another cool statement, you can’t prove I am wrong, therefore I am right.
So, just as I said, Trump is redirecting his effort to where it's needed, helping candidates in "at least 19 states" instead of just 2 where he's not really needed. I've certainly read that early voting trends indicate that the Kansas and Iowa races are pretty safe Republican wins.
What a quandry: Amy Acton's mom says she lies, but Amy sez, 'in vino veritas'.
In other news, well it would appear there is some more royal awkwardness (of the in-law collateral variety) headed our way. Sparkle Plenty's elderly dad now under investigation for having inappropriate content on his devices. Lots of it.
Inga, free speech, Milwaukee sucks but Appleton is good, both sre wisc democrats. Why?
A little perspective: Trump has canceled two planned in-person rallies, one in Kansas and one in Iowa.
But the polling makes the explanation that these are races Republicans are comfortably winning rather questionable.
In Kansas, Republican Sen. Roger Marshall is trailing Democrat Adam Hamilton by four points in the latest CNN poll (49–45). The race has been downgraded to a Toss-up by the Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball.
In Iowa, the Senate race between Republican Ashley Hinson and Democrat Josh Turek is also essentially a toss-up. Recent polling has the two candidates separated by only a point or two, with some polls putting the Democrat ahead.
Trump’s political operation says he will instead participate in more than 20 telephone rallies covering at least 19 states, allowing him to reach voters in multiple campaigns without traveling to each location.
But the suggestion that he’s canceling appearances because Republican candidates are comfortably ahead doesn’t square with the polling.
No it does not correspond to the poling. Remember the Iowa Des Moines register that Kamella was going to win Iowa by 4 points? And when the election happened the pollster resigned?
To say the pols are an absolute scientific measurement is to be a fool. There is no history to support confidence.
Again, IEE knows all, sees all, understands nothing, and draws flawed conclusions.
Let’s wait until the vote. Perhaps the house and senate will be veto proof and we can become the new Brazil.
"To say the pols are an absolute scientific measurement is to be a fool."
Or a tool.
"Let’s wait until the vote."
That's not what he's paid for.
Fair enough. Let’s dispense with the polls and wait for the votes. But if Democrats win Texas, Kansas or Iowa, I trust we’ll agree it was a rather good night for them.
“In-person rallies will be done after Daytona Beach tomorrow according to numerous news sources. He supposedly will be doing “tele-rallies”. I can’t blame him, he’s being hammered with hecklers . . . “
Gee, I wonder if those hecklers are purposely sending him a message to fear for his safety. He has survived 3 attempts. I worry for his safety every time I see him speaking in front of a large audience. A pity Democrats don’t come out and say they disavow all violence. They have crazies on their side and they should do everything they can to dissuade any and all of them.
Vote Republican in the midterms.
“ But if Democrats win Texas, Kansas or Iowa, I trust we’ll agree it was a rather good night for them.”
It will be a good night for the Democrats and a bad night for America.
If you want your borders, you can keep your borders.
Vote Republican in the midterms.
Sleepy Don will not be campaigning from his basement ,how the worm turns huh! My right wing buddy says its a master plan,I told him make sure he's got enough $ to pay for the mid term party we are having and not letting him off the hook like many times before. At 83 his delusion is almost as bad as the orange man :)Fortunately its only wings, pizza and sparkling water.I'll make sure he dont blow a gasket at his age but wagering has consequences!!
oh wait ,he is going to do the BRANDON METHOD, he say the results and will try anything even campaigning from his basement ,I heard there all making posters and flags and maybe wearing tin foil hats while they teletubby dementia on the old man is causing concern and saving him from tiny uninterested crowds is most import, I watched Ken Paxton and he had at least 15 people at his evening...
There are several people on Twitter doing careful analyses of the early returns by party, and they report that the youth vote is extremely low, that blacks are not turning out in Texas - no desire to vote for the weenie Talarico instead of his black primary opponent Jasmine Crockett - and that the polls are obviously fixed. The only state where a blue tsunami seems at all likely is Virginia, with all the laid-off, pissed-off, federal bureaucrats. We shall soon see.
Dr. Weevil, I hope that is right! Do you have a link?
Saint Croix:
I'll see if I can find you some tomorrow.
Yesterday, I think it was, Twitter had multiple posts with video of a massive fistfight in the Armenian parliament. Today, someone posted about what supposedly caused it (link):
"Meanwhile in Armenia:
"- The opposition proposes creating a 'Ministry of Unsatisfied Women' to improve birth rates.
"- The government spokesperson asks them if their mothers are going to be in it.
"The rest is history and an ode to post-Soviet parliamentarism.
"Enjoy."
Is this true? I don't know, but I hope so.
Your link at 10:32 is kind of amazing. Drunker than Kamala. I hope she's not driving. Maybe that's why politicians have chauffeurs now, to avoid the Ted Kennedy oops murder.
I have a soft spot for drunk and happy girls. But I'm not voting for you! Sober up.
Saint Croix:
I should have gone to bed already, but here's one place to start: link.

It's too good to check, right?
And I checked, anyway.
And it's true!
It's interesting how some people think we're stupid enough to believe the constant updates about the President's health means they simply want him to step away and relax.
A long rest, as it were.
Here's one more, or rather two, since it's a reply tweet: link.
awesome link, Doc, get some sleep
I was wondering why Ted Cruz was attacking the Christian preacher in Kansas and not the Christian preacher in Texas. That's why.
Cancelling ad buys would be a big tell. He's literally given up? So weird that the media is telling us he has a big lead, when he's actually stopped spending money.
The media polls are so bad. I think they're having real troubles finding representative samples. Or, they're just blatantly lying.
We will soon see. Don't trust the media.
I would love a link for Michigan!
Chris Cuomo sounds the alarm:

According to E Data Guy, the early vote totals are neck and neck in Michigan.
To me, those are way more relevant and interesting than these phantom polls by sketchy liberal journalists. Why wouldn't news organizations report on early voting by party? I don't get it.

That's an interesting clip Eva. I would love it if black people in Texas and Michigan decided to go rogue Republican. That would be amazing. Even if they just stay home, that would doom Talarico and El-Sayed, respectively.
In both Democrat primaries, black voters went for the primary opponent in a big way. The NYT goes after Trump for dividing people racially. Which woke people do as a matter of course!
Trump calling Schumer a Palestinian is kind of hilarious. Identity politics is a bitch, amirite?
Anyway, Crockett refuses to campaign with Talarico. Without black support, his candidacy is probably doomed.
In Michigan, black voters supported Haley Stevens, not El-Sayed. She's trying to bring them over to vote for "Abdul." But her future husband is not on board. "Jews are to blame for the price of bananas," he says, referring to the Young Turks ad. That ad was produced by the uncle of the radio shit Hasan Piker, who said that the USA deserved 9/11.
An appeal to anti-Semites is an unusual campaign strategy. What would be fun, and cool, is if this fucked up DSA election were to drive sizable numbers of black people and Jewish voters into the Republican ranks. Media heads would explode.
I hesitate to ask, DINKY DAU at 11:28, but who is Sleepy Don?
Where is the video proof of Obama going to the Cheescake Factory since he is now lying, and telling his adoring press, that the Cheesecake factory was HIS JAM??? The lies pour from his mouth so easy, and the Ingas of the world bow down. IF he ever set foot in one with his daughters like he is now claiming, there would be ALL kinds of proof since there are and have been cell phones and people would have shown the Obamas doing normal things, which they never did.
He is and will remain the biggest joke ever played on America.

Schumer should campaign with Talarico in Texas, and give him some tips on how to BBQ.
It would be kind of hilarious if Schumer tried that, actually, and one of his damn raw burgers put the vegetarian in an ICU for a week. BBQ is not for pussies, Schumer! You Palestinian.
Where is the video proof of Obama going to the Cheescake Factory since he is now lying, and telling his adoring press, that the Cheesecake factory was HIS JAM?

That's funny that he has to "defend the joke." Oops!
mocking somebody with "cheesecake" is fine
but mocking "The Cheesecake Factory," which is an actual business worth $5 billion, is something an anti-capitalist might do.
"Cheesecake is my jam" is something Urkle would say.
And it's not your jam! Arugula is your jam!. You're a skinny, healthy, elitist fucker. Own it!
