Star Wars Hunters only includes three Support Hunters at the time of writing this, but some are still better than others. Let’s uncover the best Supports in Star Wars Hunters through a ranked tier list. Star Wars Hunters: Best Supports, ranked tier list Surprisingly, all three Support characters in this online multiplayer team-based shooter are excellent choices. While testing them all out, there were a few differences between the three that solidified who deserved to be higher-tiered than the rest. From good to great, here’s the ranked tier list of all Supports in SWH. B-Tier: Zaina A-Tier: Skora S-Tier: Sprocket Image: NaturalMotion B-Tier: Zaina Zaina provides better healing for her allies than she does damage to enemies. Compared to the other two Supports, I have to put Zaina at B-Tier due to this imbalance. Bacta Bomb provides a substantial amount of healing to allies, but only for a short burst of time. Zaina’s Dodge Roll can be usef...

Destiny 2: The Final Shape’s first major raid, Salvation’s Edge, is upon us and Bungie has confirmed that some items and gear will be disabled during the event. Read further to learn which items are disabled during Salvation’s Edge and they are coming back. Destiny 2: All disabled items for the Salvation’s Edge raid According to an official blog post by Bungie, four items will be disabled during the Salvation’s Edge raid in Destiny 2.

Armor Lucky Pants Perks Cascade Point Magnificent Howl Fragments Facet of Command If you are currently using a build that utilizes any of the items mentioned above, it would be best to swap them out for something else. I recommend replacing them with another armor piece, perk, or Fragment that has similar effects or synergizes well with your build. While you can keep the disabled items equipped, their effects and abili...

Discovering and unlocking the Prismatic subclass is a huge focus of The Final Shape campaign in Destiny 2, but some players are frustrated because it feels like most missions are restricting their loadouts and forcing them to use it. Despite how it may seem at first, however, that’s actually not the case. Bound enemies are the primary cause of most players’ frustrations. These glowing pink enemies are immune to all sources of damage until a player activates Transcendence — a special ability unique to the Prismatic subclass — and removes their shields to make them vulnerable to normal weapons and abilities. Since Transcendence is a Prismatic ability, most players feel like The Final Shape campaign forces them to only use the new subclass instead of their existing Light and Darkness builds. Screenshot: PC Invasion As it turns out, though, you can actually use Solar, Arc, Void, Stasis, or Strand subclasses perfectly fine in The Final Shape campaign When you encoun...

In our modern political dumpster fire, there has never been an art so refined and illustrious as pointless pearl-clutching.  In this, the ninth year of 2016, most everyone is fairly desensitized to the political drama emanating from the Left’s ardent claims that any conservative policy or protest is an appeal to fascism as their own organizations and protesters set fire to cities (and sometimes themselves). Republicans pass a bill banning sexually explicit content in public schools from kindergarten to third grade? Florida Democrats and media labeled it fascism. A U.S. Supreme Court justice’s wife flies a Revolutionary War flag commissioned by George Washington? Salon’s senior writer described Justice Samuel Alito and his wife as “extremely invested in the semiotics of American fascism.” The New Republic, The Guardian, taxpayer-funded PBS—any time a Republican so much as upholds parliamentary procedure, defends former President Donald Trump, or questions the surge of gang and cartel members amid waves of illegal immigrants—these outlets are ready in the wings to call any to the right of Chairman Mao a fascist. The latest banner of fascism to be shouted down in a “Two Minutes Hate” session out of Orwell’s “1984”: flying the flag of the United States upside down. The horror! As ridiculous as it might sound—the group that has spent the past eight years defending those who burn, shred, and desecrate the U.S. flag is suddenly outraged over many in the nation who have flown the U.S. flag upside down in a symbol of distress over Trump’s political prosecution and conviction. Many on the left and precious few on the right have taken to social media to lambast those who would fly the U.S. flag upside down as “disrespectful,” “treasonous,” and “idol-worshipers.” Is this the case? Are those who reacted to Trump’s felony convictions in New York City simply bowing at his feet in a brutal backstabbing of the United States? Is this heinous, unspeakable act the very hallmark of fascism and the alleged “cult of personality” that the Left has predicted for almost a century? Of course not, and you know that. We needn’t walk down the halls of easily accessible history to discern how this wrist-shattering pearl clutch is both hypocritical and ignorant. But we’ll do so, not out of necessity but because heaping good data en masse against poorly constructed arguments is entertaining. First and foremost: Flying the flag of the United States upside down is not disrespectful, illegal, treasonous, or even unprecedented. Although 4 U.S. Code § 8, commonly referred to as the “Flag Code,” isn’t legally enforceable (because U.S. citizens retain First Amendment rights to do with their own flags whatever they wish), flying the flag upside down under appropriate circumstances wouldn’t violate the law. The law clearly states: “The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.” (The “union” refers to the patch of blue with 50 stars.) Thousands in the U.S. have flown our flag upside down to express their “dire distress” in such instances over the past century. Leftists consistently flew the U.S. flag upside down throughout Trump’s presidency to signal their deep disquiet and fear, from Washington state to Louisiana. Democrats in New Jersey resolutely flew the flag upside down in protest of Trump’s inauguration in January 2017. Some Republicans flew their flags upside down when Barack Obama was reelected in 2012. The American flag has been flown upside down as “a tribute to veterans’ sacrifice,” and was one of the many symbols of protest against the Vietnam War used by leftist demonstrators in the 1960s. The Flag Code doesn’t specify what “extreme danger to life or property” entails, nor does it restrict such interpretation to a physical danger or a political one. Might there be a situation today in which many Americans feel in deep distress over a perceived danger to the life and property of their republic? Never before in American history has a former president, much less one running for office again, been charged and convicted in such a kangaroo-court fashion that even his political adversaries note the insanity of the circumstances. In an extremely heated presidential election campaign, indicting one of the two frontrunners would be considered enough of an anathema—but the case of New York v. Trump was more than precarious, it was a circus.  Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, ran on the promise of doing anything he could to find something to indict Trump with. Outside his jurisdiction, Bragg used a federal election statute—which the Federal Election Commission already had stated Trump didn’t violate—as a convoluted lever to turn 34 counts of “falsifying business records,” misdemeanors that by this point were outside New York’s statute of limitations, into felonies. As if that weren’t enough, Judge Juan Merchan’s refused to allow a former chairman of the Federal Election Commission to testify, refused to allow the defense to speak to the jury before deliberation, and informed jurors that to convict they didn’t have to reach a unanimous decision on what crime was committed. Such actions by Merchan set a nation on fire even as trust in institutions already was wavering. Elie Hornig, a former federal and state prosecutor, wrote for New York magazine, an extremely liberal publication: “Prosecutors got Trump—but they contorted the law.” Hornig pointed out that never before in U.S. history has there been a state prosecution using federal election law. You’ll notice that I haven’t mentioned Trump’s sex life, his character, or his business decisions—in fact, many of those expressing extreme distress at this forded Rubicon aren’t being protective of Trump like he was some kind of nonsensical religious idol.  Sens. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky, and Mitt Romney, R-Utah, who have spent the past few years as Trump’s chief opposition within the GOP, both called this case and conviction despicable.  When a reporter asks President Joe Biden whether he used this case to politically persecute Trump and he casts a wicked grin in her direction, how is the nation supposed to respond? Reporter: "President Trump refers to himself as a political prisoner and blames you directly. What's your response to that, sir?"Biden: *smiles*pic.twitter.com/CZY8JUMvKO— Michael Knowles (@michaeljknowles) May 31, 2024 Why is the left side of the aisle afforded the right to ride through towns and cities shouting about the impending doom of the republic like some bastardized caricature of Paul Revere, and the right side isn’t allowed to call out the very sham John Adams unpopularly fought in court to prevent? Spare me your clutched pearls, neoconservatives. Your faux dignity and condescension at the concerns of Americans whose carcass of a justice system is paraded openly don’t move me.  I don’t have to defend Trump’s personal life and sign onto a “cult of personality” to recognize that each of us has a right to be free from political persecution and election interference.  Commentator Alyssa Farah’s silly claims that flying the flag upside down signals “selling out” are as pathetic and hypocritical as the rest of the cast of “The View” with whom she clucks and quacks about abortion rights, gun confiscation, and anti-Catholicism. Whistling past the graveyard and sending a “strongly worded letter” have only mired us further in the muck of Third World antics. I reserve the right to fly my flag upside down to signal my extreme distress at this danger to the life and property of the republic I love, and I’ll do so whenever I find it appropriate.

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Republicans seen as insufficiently strong on border security should proceed with caution, warns a political action committee that plans to spend more than$1 million to defeat them in the 2024 elections. “If you support open borders and illegal immigration, you will find no safe haven in state legislatures,” Katie Miller, chairwoman of Stand for Us PAC and a former Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, told The Daily Signal. “We will find you and defeat you.” After helping defeat the Republican president of the West Virginia state Senate in the GOP primary there on May 14, Stand for Us PAC decided to increase its initial investment to more than $1 million to defeat Republican incumbents elsewhere who accede to the Left’s plans to subsidize health care for migrants. An ad previewed exclusively with The Daily Signal highlights the group’s plans to thwart the campaigns of officeholders and candidates who support 340B, a federal drug-subsidy program, that if expanded could be used to subsidize health care for illegal immigrants. Blair supported West Virginia Senate Bill 325, which opponents said expands 340B in the state. It passed the state Senate on April 23. “Rather than fight for us, West Virginia Senate President Craig Blair sided with Democrats,” the PAC’s video says. “Blair led the expansion of 340B, a federal program that subsidizes health care for illegals.” Challenger Tom Willis bested Blair in a three-candidate primary, taking 44% of the vote to Blair’s 32%. Stand for Us PAC said it spent more than $400,000 to defeat Blair, who first arrived in the state Senate in 2013. Willis is a lawyer, a former U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret, and current member of the West Virginia National Guard.  “Blair sided with illegals, but voters sent a clear message: They said ‘no’ to health care for illegals and no to Craig Blair,” the ad says. Stand for Us used direct mail, digital display ads, texts, and phone calls to inform the state Senate president’s constituents of his support for strengthening a federal program using taxpayer dollars for illegal immigrant health care. “Take it from [Blair]: Support 340B, and pay the price,” the ad says. Next in Stand for Us PAC’s sights could be the Republican primary in the Missouri gubernatorial race on Aug. 6. A bill in the state legislature could expand 340B. Stand for Us’ mission is to “hold Republicans across the country accountable for capitulating to [President] Joe Biden’s dangerous open-border agenda,” according to its website. More than 10 million illegal aliens have crossed the U.S. border during Biden’s presidency. Nearly 30% of Americans cited immigration is their top concern in the 2024 election in a February poll.

In a move that’s good news for drivers nationwide, Virginia has declared its independence from California’s latest automotive standards. Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced Tuesday that, starting next year, their state will comply with federal standards. “[Electric vehicle] mandates like California’s are unworkable and out of touch with reality, and thankfully the law does not bind us to their regulations,” Miyares said in a written statement. The previous Virginia governor, Democrat Ralph Northam, signed a bill in 2021 to embrace the automobile standards of the California Air Resource Board. These 2021 standards would have forced auto dealers to sell a certain share of battery-powered cars in 2025 or face penalties. But California’s new Advanced Clean Car II standards, passed in 2022, require 35% of new passenger cars, trucks, and SUVs sold in the Golden State to be electric or hydrogen-fueled by 2036, and 100% by 2035. This is far stricter than the Virginia bill signed by Northam, as Miyares notes in his opinion. Virginia was one of 16 states and Washington, D.C., that signed on to California’s 2021 standards. Returning to the federal standard isn’t only in the best interests of the commonwealth of Virginia, but also in the best interests of the United States. Virginia is the first state to abandon California’s new regulations and may start a tidal wave as others leave too. The commonwealth’s economy depends on reliable, affordable transportation for people and businesses. Farmers can’t use electric tractors. Small businesses rely on gasoline-powered pickup trucks. Construction workers need inexpensive cars to get to sites far from mass transit. Regulations requiring sales of electric vehicles are highly unpopular, and Youngkin’s opponents will lose by challenging him. California’s auto regulations aim to reduce total global carbon emissions, of which America’s share is 13%, but these rules may not succeed. A battery-only EV has no tailpipe emissions, but emissions are generated from making the electricity, as well as from producing batteries, mining battery ingredients such as lithium, shipping batteries from China, and disposing of spent batteries. Even if America were to stop using all fossil fuels today, worldwide temperatures would be only two-tenths of a degree cooler by 2100, according to government models. Americans aren’t choosing EVs for four reasons. 1. EVs cost more than the equivalent gasoline-powered vehicles. The Ford Lightning, the electric version of the Ford 150 pickup truck, one of America’s top-selling vehicles, costs an additional $17,000. Tesla’s prices begin at $42,000 for a Model 3 and reach $100,000 for a Model X. 2. Owning an EV is convenient for drivers who can charge them at home overnight and who don’t travel out of range. For others, stopping for an hour to recharge during the day while out on business, or while on a vacation trip, is a major drawback. 3. EVs are smaller and it’s hard to fit three car seats in the back row. Plus, with kids, who wants to have to stop to recharge? 4. EVs lose 40% of their battery range when the temperature dips below 20 degrees Fahrenheit and when the heating is on. That’s why Wyoming has only 840 registered EVs, North Dakota has 640, and Alaska has 1,970. In addition, China makes 80% of the world’s electric batteries and controls 60% of the world’s critical minerals that are used to make the batteries. Required use of EVs, rather than U.S. oil and natural gas resources, makes America depend on China. Youngkin wisely rejected a Ford partnership with Chinese battery giant CATL in 2023. Apple has withdrawn from developing an electric vehicle. Ford lost $100,000 per EV sold in the first quarter of this year and announced a pause in its delivery of the new F-150 Lightning, citing quality-control problems. Mercedes no longer plans to go all-electric by 2030. General Motors abandoned its goal of selling 400,000 EVs by this month. Dealers’ lots are overflowing with unsold EVs. More than 4,500 auto dealers wrote to President Joe Biden asking him to delay the Environmental Protection Agency’s mandate that 70% of new cars sold must be electric by 2032. Compulsory EVs increase poverty. With cars more expensive, Americans either have no car or are forced into less reliable used cars, with a smaller choice of jobs or schools. As long as people have a choice, they won’t buy EVs in numbers that California regulations require. Fortunately, Virginia is taking a smarter route.

Part Deux: Biden Campaigns in France

Australian eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant conceded defeat in a weeks-long effort to force X (formerly Twitter) to censor content she didn’t approve of across the globe.  On June 5, Grant dropped her Federal Court complaint against X after a federal judge blocked her application for the extension of an injunction against the social media platform. Grant still has a separate ongoing case against X-owner Elon Musk over the same content. Musk celebrated the win in a post on X, “Freedom of speech is worth fighting for.” Notably, Meta, Microsoft, Google, Snap, TikTok, Reddit and Telegram all caved to Australian government pressure to block the video for the entire world. After Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel of was stabbed during Mass at Assyrian Orthodox Christ the Good Shepherd Church in Wakely, Australia, the Australian eSafety Commissioner demanded that X and other platforms censor the video of the terrorist attack.  However, Musk refused to take the content down under pressure from the Australian government, but unfortunately censored the video for Australian users of the platform. While the commissioner was trying to dictate what the entire world has a right to see, the victim in the video she was trying to suppress — Bishop Emmanuel — spoke out in favor of free speech.  Bishop Emmanuel, having lost sight in his right eye, took to the pulpit and told his congregation, “Every human being has the right to their freedom of speech and freedom of religion, every human being, and for us to say that free speech is dangerous, that free speech cannot be possible in a democratic country, I’m yet to fathom this.” Twitter Files author Michael Shellenberger repudiated the rest of Silicon Valley in a post celebrating the eSafety Commissioner’s defeat. “Free Speech Victory! Only Elon Musk's X stood up to the censors in Australia, and now they've won,” Shellenberger wrote. He went on to explain the struggle between Musk and the eSafety Commissioner and say that “we owe Musk a debt of gratitude for fighting for free speech.” Conservatives are under attack. Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency and an equal footing for conservatives.

WNBA player Cameron Brink said that young, white players in the league have privilege because they appear more feminine than some of the more "masculine" looking women in the league.Brink was the second-overall draft pick for the Los Angeles Sparks in the 2024 WNBA draft, only behind Caitlin Clark.The 6'4'' player was asked about her first few games in the professional league and how she hopes to change it for the better. Brink was asked what the most tired narrative around women's sports was and referred to herself and Clarke as having certain expectations placed upon them.She said the idea that veteran players are "against the rookies" or the "old-school versus new-school" narrative was one that she didn't particularly buy into."I feel like Caitlin Clark has that the worst right now, but even I get that. ... We're expected to be perfect. We were drafted to high-drafting teams coming off of losing seasons, which is fine. It's a learning process. But people expect us to be perfect, and it's freaking exhausting."'I will not rest until the W is even more iconic than it is now.'Brink was also asked in her interview with Uproxx what part she wants to play in making the WNBA a more "iconic" league.She responded by saying that she wants to grow the fan base to "support all types of players." By that Brink appeared to mean that she would prefer if fans also supported players who don't look "feminine.""I will acknowledge there's a privilege for the younger white players of the league. That's not always true, but there is a privilege that we have inherently, and the privilege of appearing feminine. Some of my teammates are more masculine," Brink claimed. "Some of my teammates go by they/them pronouns," she added.Brink partially blamed herself for dressing "femininely" and said that she wants players to be popular for reasons other than their looks."I want to bring more acceptance to [masculine women, pronoun users] and not just have people support us because of the way that we look. I know I can feed into that because I like to dress femininely, but that's just me. I want everyone to be accepted — not just paid attention to because of how they look."The basketball star was asked to finish the sentence "I will not rest until ..." to which she replied, "I will not rest until the W is even more iconic than it is now."Like Blaze News?
