Your link does not work, but even you are not so stupid that you can't see with your own eyes that both the Sun and the moon and the stars ALL rise in the east and set in the west, all day, every day; even planets in retrograde rise in the east and set in the west.

Even though circumpolar objects don't actually rise or set (being, well, circumpolar), they still appear to rotate around the pole in the same direction as everything else, that is, east-to-west, even during inferior culmination...

Think a little more before you speak.
