When I was at Normandy I was overwhelmed thinking about 19-year olds from Iowa or Oregon far from home storming the beaches to defeat fascism. Such incredible sacrifice on behalf of people they didn’t know. So Pete- don’t bring your white supremacy to Normandy. You don’t speak for most Americans.

Hegseth at Normandy: "Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria. Boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late? I pray not, and I believe not."

I think some of the Oscars commercials are way better than the Super Bowl commercials. Perhaps marketers are willing to do some more inventive work since they’re under less scrutiny but it’s still a big audience.

Yes the rupture remains. Donald Trump is not going to defend a NATO ally under attack, hence the core of the alliance-Article 5-is not operable for the US while he’s president. Also Rubio’s tone was friendly if you’re a white Christian nationalist.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered a friendlier tone to European nations than JD Vance, but the elephant in the room – the rupture between the US and its NATO allies – remains.

Had 4 offers to judge local ADDY shows this year. I'm wondering if AAFs are having a hard time finding judges because it's now entirely sitting in front of a computer judging 100s of case studies. It used to be way more enjoyable going to cities and judging in-person.
