The critics used words like “shame”, “persona non grata”, “clown” and “disgrace” to denigrate Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for his comments on the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day, June 6, 1944. We served up our blood and treasure that day. As our Nina told you yesterday, we offered up 4,000 on that very first day. For your situational awareness, saving Europe’s bacon gives us every right to lecture them, especially the Cheese-eating Surrender Monkeys known as the French.

Too harsh? Nah! They called Secretary Hegseth a “disgrace” and much more. From the Mirror US:

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was branded a “clown” and a “disgrace” Saturday after using a D-Day anniversary ceremony on French soil to take aim at NATO allies and European immigration policies, sparking a furious backlash online.

Critics flooded social media with condemnation after H egseth addressed the 82nd anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy, with many arguing he had desecrated a solemn occasion honoring the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers who died liberating Europe from Nazi occupation.

Whiny liberals who know little to nothing of the Long Gray Line of service in the Profession of Arms get the luxury of kvetching with no cost. More:

“Having this clown speak is a disgrace in the first place,” wrote one user, who said he still couldn’t believe “this is the trash the people of this country chose to represent us on the global stage.”

Oh, maybe we are the same level of trash. Naff off, whiners. We voted and we won. We do need partners with us:

Hegseth is right that the boats of men arrive and force leaders their native-born citizens to cave to the demands of these immigrants who share no common values. Worse, they don’t try.

We all have seen the problems of Great Britain. What about the scenes in Europe:

The riots in Paris and now in Brussels are not new events. They are a recurring pattern. Muslim immigrants and their second and third generations exploit any random pretext to erupt in spontaneous rage and burn Western cities.

Here is a clear example from Italy.

The rest of the Mirror US:

The outrage was triggered after Hegseth invoked the imagery of wartime beach landings to attack migration across the continent.

“Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies,” Hegseth said.

“Beaches in Spain, in Italy, in Greece, and in Bulgaria. Boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion?”

He also warned that European leaders had grown too “comfortable” with their freedoms since World War II, adding, “The men who fought and died here restored freedom to Europe.”

“That freedom must be maintained by this generation of leaders and war fighters, or what they fought for was merely temporary.”

Hegseth has had several deployments and knows the costs. What would be a true disgrace would be having to go back and send in our blood and treasure once again. Especially when we know that they have thrown away their safety and security with both hands. Pishers. You can read Secretary Hegseth’s full speech right here.

NATO has not stepped up to help the United States but hangs out in the cafes because of that we provide. Interestingly, out Middle East partners have stepped up. Theocratic fascism is a more immediate threat to those living in the Middle East. NATO has well-forgotten what the Middle East has learned more recently.

Maybe the Europeans don’t want to remember the costs of that time. Too bad. It would have been a disgrace if Hegseth hadn’t reminded them.
