8BitDo announces it's controllers now have Steam/SteamOS compatibility

These controllers were all working on SteamOS before as far as I know, so I'm interested to see what this changes. My understanding is that previously their controllers just show up as generic xbox controllers, and now they will be properly recognized. We'll see if this has any other benefits like custom bindings for back buttons and things like that.

CONGRATULATIONS AMERICA! The June Border Statistics are in and, once again, they are the LOWEST RECORDED NUMBERS IN UNITED STATES HISTORY. The U.S. Border Patrol reported ZERO releases of Illegal Aliens into the Country. In addition, Customs and Border Protection only had 25,243 “Nationwide Encounters” throughout the entire month, which is absolutely STAGGERING, considering the Biden Administration was “encountering” tens of thousands of people every single DAY. America’s Borders are Safe and Secure, and the entire World knows it. All we need to do is keep it this way, which is exactly why Republicans need to pass “THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL.” We still have Radical Left Judges trying to open the Border, and defy the Supreme Court, which is why Republicans must be smart, strong, and never let these Crazed Judges turn us into a Third World Country. The Men and Women of Border Patrol, ICE, and CBP are doing an amazing job but, they need more help and, they are counting on Republicans to, GET IT DONE!

Picked some cherry tomatoes from the community garden.

Thinking of what Thich Nhat Hahn said about a flower. You can see the sunlight, the soil, the cloud, the insects - all within this cherry tomato. You can see the people and the librarians that maintain the seed library from which the seeds came from and the harvested seeds will go back to. You can see the folks that will eat it and live another day. You can see the people that those folks can help by their actions after being fueled by these tomatoes.

It's a small thing. And empty thing. A thing able to be filled.

A wonderful thing.

Very rich of @KathyHochul to criticize Republicans for stopping taxpayer funded healthcare for illegals when her corrupt CDPAP overhaul just stripped Medicaid home healthcare from 100,000 New Yorkers in a rigged bidding process.

Hochul even had elderly and disabled people arrested for demanding answers!

She was confronted by a constituent and totally ignored concerns.

Democrats always accuse you of what they themselves are doing.

When Microsoft locked an ICC prosecutor out of their email, it proved just how easily U.S. power can reach across borders and into the heart of global justice, writes Paul Budde.

THE RECENT INCIDENT involving Microsoft and the International Criminal Court (ICC) should send a chill down the spine of every democratic nation.
Following a sanctions order from White House, Microsoft locked ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan out of his enterprise-level Office 365 account.
That account wasn’t personal — it was part of the ICC’s institutional infrastructure.

And just like that, an American tech giant disabled access to a key international legal actor.

...

What’s worse is the normalisation of it all. We scroll past headlines like “Microsoft cuts #ICC access” and carry on with our day. The sociologist Alexei Yurchak coined a term for this: hypernormalisation — the idea that everyone knows the system is broken, but we all pretend things are normal because no one can imagine how to change them..."

July 2, 1863, was Day 2 of the Battle of Gettysburg. The day saw 150,000 troops locked in combat across a four-mile front. From Little Round Top to Culp’s Hill, the clashes on day 2 of the battle—Devil’s Den, the Wheatfield, Peach Orchard, and Cemetery Hill—saw over 20,000 casualties. Lee’s Confederates sought to break Meade’s fishhook line, while the Union fought to hold the high ground, pushing both armies to the brink.

At dawn on July 2, 1863, Meade’s 90,000-strong Union Army fortified Cemetery Hill, Culp’s Hill, and Cemetery Ridge, forming a defensive fishhook. Reinforced by II, V, and XII Corps, Meade prepared to repel Lee’s next strike. Across the field, Lee’s 70,000 Confederates held Seminary Ridge and Gettysburg, with Longstreet’s and Hill’s corps west, Ewell’s north. Lee planned a double assault: Longstreet to hit the Union left, Ewell the right, aiming to collapse Meade’s line.
in reply to Obi-Two al-Menashani

Obi-Two al-Menashani

Delays in Confederate positioning, especially Longstreet’s march, postponed attacks until afternoon, setting up a ferocious clash. Around 4:00 PM, Lt. Gen. James Longstreet’s First Corps launched Lee’s main attack on the Union left. Hood’s division, over 7,000 men, targeted III Corps under Maj. Gen. Daniel Sickles, who had advanced to a vulnerable salient at the Peach Orchard, leaving Devil’s Den exposed.

Hood’s brigades—Law’s Alabamians and Robertson’s Texans—stormed Devil’s Den, clashing with Birney’s division in a brutal fight among massive boulders. Artillery roared, while sharpshooters picked off officers. The Confederate push aimed to outflank the Union line, threatening Little Round Top and the entire Union position. By 4:30 PM, the Wheatfield, a 20-acre clearing south of the Peach Orchard, became a slaughterhouse.

Hood’s and McLaws’ Confederate brigades, including Anderson’s and Semmes’, collided with Union III Corps’ reinforcements, like de Trobriand’s brigade. Around 5:00 PM, Barnes’ V Corps division and Caldwell’s II Corps division joined the fight, turning the field into a seesaw of charges and countercharges. Regiments like the 17th Maine and 1st Minnesota fought ferociously, but Confederate pressure surged.

By 6:30 PM, after six major assaults, the Confederates held the blood-soaked Wheatfield.

At the peach orchard along the Emmitsburg Road, McLaws’ Confederate division targeted Sickles’ III Corps. Barksdale’s Mississippians and Kershaw’s South Carolinians charged, shattering Graham’s brigade with rifle volleys and cannon fire. By 6:00 PM, Hill’s corps, including Anderson’s division, joined, overwhelming Humphreys’ Union line.

Sickles’ corps crumbled, with Sickles wounded and his men retreating toward Cemetery Ridge. The collapse exposed the Union center, but Confederate momentum slowed, unable to exploit the breach fully as dusk approached.

As Devil’s Den fell, Hood’s Confederates eyed Little Round Top, which was key to the Union left. Col. Strong Vincent’s brigade, including Col. Joshua L. Chamberlain’s 20th Maine, raced to hold the hill.

Law’s Alabamians and Robertson’s Texans were met with fierce fire from the Union forces as they charged repeatedly. The 20th Maine, at the line’s end, repelled assaults, with Chamberlain’s bayonet charge breaking the Confederate push. Reinforced by Weed’s brigade, the Union held Little Round Top by dusk, saving Meade’s flank but losing Vincent and in their desperate stand.

As evening arrived, Lt. Gen. Richard S. Ewell’s Second Corps struck the Union right. Johnson’s division attacked Culp’s Hill, clashing with XII Corps under Greene. The entrenched Union troops repelled Confederate charges. Simultaneously, Early’s brigades, Hays’ and Avery’s, hit Cemetery Hill, briefly seizing XI Corps’ guns. Hancock’s II Corps counterattacked, driving the Confederates back by 9:00 PM. The Union right held firm, thwarting Lee’s plan to collapse Meade’s line.
in reply to Obi-Two al-Menashani

Obi-Two al-Menashani

The day saw over 20,000 casualties—roughly 10,000 per side. Union resilience, from Chamberlain’s stand to Greene’s defense, preserved Meade’s line. Lee’s near-successes emboldened him, while Meade’s army, battered but intact, braced for another Confederate onslaught the next day. July 2, was Gettysburg’s bloodiest day, with savage fighting in the Wheatfield, Devil’s Den, Peach Orchard, Little Round Top, and Culp’s Hill.

Lee’s plan to crush Meade’s flanks failed against heroic stands by the Union forces, though the Confederates came agonizingly close to victory. Both armies suffered crippling losses, yet neither yielded. As night fell, Meade fortified his fishhook, anticipating Lee’s next move. Lee, believing the Union center vulnerable, planned a massive assault for July 3 as the war’s turning point loomed, setting up Gettysburg’s final day.

No we aren't subtle about what we want to do. We want illegal aliens to be deported.

If troops invade our borders, we shoot them.

If invaders are not wearing the uniform of their country, they can be considered spies and shot on sight.

Instead, we stupid Americans, give these illegals the same sorts of due process a citizen would have before deporting them

Victor Davis Hanson:
The Trump Deranged “Experts” Were Wrong. Again.

President Donald Trump’s track record flies in the face of conventional wisdom from so-called “experts”— but they will be the last to admit it.

Since his second inauguration, the “experts” have been relentless in their mission to minimize the Trump administration’s efforts with the economy, immigration, Iran, and beyond.

Meanwhile, the stock market has soared. There were ZERO illegal border crossings in May, according to CBP. Iran’s nuclear infrastructure was left severely damaged without the threat of war on the horizon. All this, thanks to the decisive and, at times controversial, actions taken by the Trump administration.

Despite these verifiable results,
@VDHanson
argues that much of the elite resistance to Trump stems not from data, but from disdain. And that bias has blinded them to basic common sense. He breaks it down on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

“Donald Trump is pretty commonsensical. If you take a million people away that were working in the shadows at cheaper wages and hurting American job opportunities and you make countries that had asymmetrical tariffs and were responsible for a $1.1 trillion trade deficit and you can stop that and they still want entry into the American market, then you can have an economic renaissance.

“You should try to shed your Trump Derangement Syndrome because it's really affecting your powers of judgment and analysis. And you're going to lose readers. You are so wedded to the idea that Donald Trump is going to destroy the United States because of your personal animus, you cannot see that most people have commonsense solutions.”
