A good new neighbor will bring you money and weed brownies.

They should introduce themselves.
8am
I’m staunchly against all political flags/banners/signs. But pro American flag
If they bring something then they can hang around at the BBQ

You know the rules. Pics of parents?

If they are offended by your trump flag then frickem on your other questions.

What is an acceptable time to cut the grass?
Never cut grass until the dew burns off. That’s usually between 9 and 10 am. Mowing earlier than that isn’t just inconsiderate, it’s bad for your lawn and your mower. Wet ground plus a mower means ruts, and wet grass can clog your housing, dull your blades faster, and cause all sorts of troubles all of which are remedied by waiting until the grass is dryer pater than the day. Trust me, I’d rather deal with the extra heat than all the other issues mowing early causes. Plus, I’m not a douche canoe, so I treat others the way I’d wish to be treated and assure that everyone is hungover on weekend mornings before 10 am.

Should I hang my Trump flag?
I’d try to get a read on your neighborhood before you do. It just takes one prick on the hoa board or one insane karen to make your life miserable. If I were a hardcore Trumper enough to own a flag, I probably would do it regardless.

Do I invite them over to drink while I BBQ?
If after introductions they seem alright, sure

9am is way to late to mow. I like to be done by 8am during the summer

Did it my whole life. Grow thicker skin and quit being a pussy. Your blades and mower will last longer. Believe me.

We have very low turnover in our hood with the exception of a rent house next to me. It's a small place and I have experienced two sets of morons who procreated the same thing. I didn't introduce myself to those folks. Other times there have been an older couple and a single divorced woman. I introduced myself to those, gave them the "if you need anything" spill. I hope everything works out well for you, it sounds like this will be a big change for you.

The dew in the summer is there well past 9-10 with our typical humidity
I’ll try to not be a pussy though
I’m a 2-3 PM mower

Unless you have a drainage problem or it’s really cloudy out, a hot day should burn off the due by 10, 10:30 at the latest.
Cutting grass is supposed to be hot and terrible. If it wasn’t, you wouldn’t get a sense of accomplishment from doing it.
God bless you for being an afternoon mower. If I were a tyrant, I would make mowing before 10:00am on a weekend in a densely populated neighborhood a justifiable reason for homicide. I wouldn’t put anyone in jail for it, but I also wouldn’t punish anyone who killed someone for waking them up with a loudarse mower at 7:00am when they didn’t get back from the bar until 3:00am. I mean, it’s not right, but I understand.

That’s why I mow yards at 2-3 o’clock

Best piece of advice I can give is to practice your mowing wave
Never give eye contact, just blank stare and slight smirk
Never turn head more that 45 degrees
Never raise arm above shoulder
Never fully extend more than two fingers
Palms facing inward
DO NOT ROTATE WRIST
Slight head lift and simultaneous left arm raise to shoulder height
Return to mowing position within 1.75 seconds

I just give them this face with a tiny nod
“Sorry I rolled out at 9 mph into your direction of travel”

count punch the neighbor's wife to show them who is boss. If you can't piss four feet onto their property from yours, skip what I just said and good luck.

None of that matters, just put your free weights in the drive way and make a LOT of eye contact
To be honest, he and his wife carrying the weights out won't win much credibility.
Be friendly with the new neighbors.
Don't start the mower before 9:00, especially on the weekends.
Fly your Trump flag if you want to be a dick.
Start the grill the following weekend and ask your neighbor over for a beer.
(For those who will downvote me over my Trump flag comment, you're a hypocrite. You would bitch like hell here if a new neighbor pulled out a Biden flag.
Don't bring politics into the neighborhood.)

Piss on every tree and mailbox in the neighborhood. For good measure piss on trash cans when the are at the road.

Of course the OT would be full of inconsiderate assholes who mow their lawn at 6 am.
