« Donald Trump is the first former US president to be tried for paying hush money to an adult film star who said his penis is shaped like a mushroom. » —Jimmy Kimmel

Jimmy Kimmel on Monday also had a few words about Trump falling asleep in court.

But the best part of this segment was his focus on Trump's rally in Pennsylvania last Saturday.

After watching that, I think that nobody this year should be granted a high school diploma without first transcribing 5 minutes of Trump speaking at a rally. New voters need to experience Trump's total incoherence in a concrete way.

BTW: While I miss the Midwest, one thing that makes me happy to be in New York right now is this...

That's the top of Page 1 of the 34 count indictment against Trump in the hush money case. It's a great feeling to be one of the "People of the State of New York" in whose name this prosecution was brought about. Eat your heart out, Colorado!

The Battle of Gettysburg 160th Anniversary

"In July 1863

A nation torn in tragedy

A trick of fate, two great armies merge

Gods of war at Gettysburg

Devastation lies ahead

50, 000 bodies litter the land

Hell rages three full days

The reaper sows, there's the devil to pay"

- The Devil to Pay, Iced Earth

*************************************

The Battle of Gettysburg:

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

----------------------------------------

The battle of Gettysburg is more than just a single battle. It was a series of engagements spanning three days. The events that occured during that fight could not be all told in ten art pieces alone. Stories such as the charge of the 1st Minnesota, the 137th New York's defense of the Union right flank, the fight at East Cavalry Field, and many other stories that happened during those three days were, sadly, not told here. However, it is my hope that this gave some awareness to the battle and the sacrifices made by the soldies who fought that day.

Special thanks to all those who were featured!

#OTD in 1863 – The Irish Brigade at Gettysburg – Pickett's Charge, Day 3 | Pickett's Charge had begun and the 69th Pennsylvania would suffer dreadful losses.

On 3 July 1863, as the Confederates of George Pickett’s Division closed on the stone wall near the top of Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg, they saw a green flag rising up from behind it surrounded by 200 men in blue springing to their feet to open fire on the charging Confederates. The green battle flag was emblazoned with the number “69” but this was not New York’s Fighting 69th, it was the 69th…

1863-Pickett's Charge

The final day of the Battle of Gettysburg culminates with Pickett's Charge.

Pickett's Charge (July 3, 1863), also known as the Pickett–Pettigrew–Trimble Charge, was an infantry assault ordered by Confederate General Robert E. Lee against Major General George G. Meade's Union positions on the last day of the Battle of Gettysburg in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania during the Civil War.

Today in 1863, a 34-year-old college professor from Maine named Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain helps fend off repeated Confederate attacks against the left flank of the Union line at Gettysburg. The fight for Little Round Top will become one of the battle's most celebrated moments.

Battle of Gettysburg remembered, 160 years later

Saturday 7/1 marks the 160th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. This decisive engagement provided a devastating loss to Confederate forces outside of Harrisburg, PA and became a turning point in the war.

We remember the more than 7,000 dead and 44,000 injured from both sides of the conflict on that day.

A.R. Waud sketched "The Battle of Gettysburg: Hill on the Left of the Union Post" and "Union Position Near the Centre" for the July 25, 1863 edition of Harper's Weekly. This item is preserved among the History Center's historic newspaper collections.

The story of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain at Little Round Top has been told and retold many times in fiction-- I myself have done it, too.

But what if we looked at the aftermath of the battle from the perspective of one of his subordinates?

5 years ago, I wrote the short story "In the Vale" from the POV of then Captain Walter G. Morrill of Company B.

Gettysburg was 159 years ago today, so let’s give a shout out to Colonel Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain!

During the battle he was in charge of the 20th Maine on the far end of the Union flank, Little Round Top. His forces withstood multiple attacks from Confederate forces, pushing them back each time. Eventually, they ran out of ammo and the rebels were coming again. So what does the colonel do? He orders a his men to fix bayonets and charge! And they did, with him at the front! This move completely routed the rebels, forcing them off Little Round Top for good.

Chamberlain’s heroism that day earned him the Medal of Honor. He later became the final casualty of Civil War, dying in 1914 at the age of 85 due to complications of his injuries at the Battle of Petersburg.

Not bad for a former professor of rhetoric.

Battle of Gettysburg - Day 1

July 1

10:00 AM

I Corps Arrives at Gettysburg

"Forward, charge!" The Lieutenant Colonel ordered, and in response the 6th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment lurched forward. "Align on the colors! Close up on that color! Close up on that color!" Their commander shouted, as the stragglers from the broken 95th New York and 14th Brooklyn Regiments joined them. In one strong mass, they moved across the field and charged towards the unfinished railroad cut, where Davis' Brigade took cover.

At 10:00 in the moring, just as Buford's cavalry were buckling under the pressure of Confederate attacks, the 1st Division of the Union I Corps arrived at Gettysburg. Moving quickly from the south of town, the division's 2nd Brigade was the first to arrive in the scene, quickly deploying at McPherson's ridge, north of the Chambersburg Pike. However, just as they were relieving the cavalry troopers deployed there, Davis' Confederate brigade moved up and struck them hard. Caught in the middle of deploying their forces, they were unprepared to receive the attack and were soon fighting a desperate battle, as some regiments began to retreat.

Meanwhile, south of the Chambersburg Pike, the 1st Brigade, of the 1st Division, of the I Corps began to deploy. They were the famous Iron Brigade. Wearing their unique black Hardee campaign hats, they were easily recognizable. Deploying in front of Herbst woods, they soon saw Archer's Confederate Brigade marching out of it.

Upon seeing the Iron Brigade waiting for them outside the woods, one soldier from Archer's brigade remarked: "“Here are those damned black-hat fellers again… ’Tain’t no militia – that’s the Army of the Potomac!"

The Iron Brigade let loose a volley of musket fire against Archer's brigade and soon the two were engaged in heavy fighting, as the 2nd Brigade continued to struggle agaisnt Davis' brigade.

Moving up to the front to assist in the fighting, I Corps commander, Major General John Reynolds, moved behind the Iron Brigade, urging them forward. However, as he was doing this, a stray shot struck him. He soon fell, dead, leaving I Corps leaderless.

Despite the loss of their commander, the Iron Brigade were pressing hard against Archer's Confederate brigade. Soon the brigade was charging the Confederates, forcing them to retreat. During their retreat, the Iron Birgade managed to capture a great number of prisoners, including Brigader General Archer himself.

However, the fight was far from over, because of the right the 2nd Brigade collapsed under the pressure of Davis' Confederate brigade, leaving their right flank exposed. Quickly, the Iron Brigade began to swing right to face the new threat, as the 6th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment, which was held back by the Iron Birgade to act as a reserve, charged forward.

Struck by heavy musket fire, the regiments of Davis' brigade took cover in an unfinished railroad cut that ran parallel on the northern end of the Chambersburg Pike. However, while pinned in the cut, the troops of the 6th Wisconsin managed to outflank them and capture a good portion of the brigade.

By 12:00 noon most of the morning's fighting had subsided. There was now a lull, as fresh units from both sides began to arrive. For the Union, the rest of I Corps and XI Corps arrived to strengthen their defenses. For the Confederates, Pender's Division, of the Third Corps, arrived to join Heth's mauled division.

For the defense of Gettysburg, I Corps deployed on the west of town, while XI Corps moved north of town, ready to cover the roads there.

For two hours there was no fighting, aside from the occational artillery exchange from both sides. However, that would soon change, as another intense Confederate attack would strike, this time targeted at where I Corps and XI Corps met. Meanwhile, far to the north, a new force arrived, the Confederate Second Corps.

Featuring @whirlwindflux @flashmod and @a-spoonful-o-generosity as members of the famous Iron Brigade. All three wear the iconic black Hardee campaign hats, which was different from the blue forage cap worn by most Union troops.
