D-Day June 6, 2023 Greg Olear: If December 7, 1941, is a day that lives in infamy, then June 6, 1944 is the glorious opposite: D-Day, the date of the Allied invasion of Normandy. . . . Great leaders have great character. Eisenhower accepted that D-Day might be a bust, he planned for its failure, and, most importantly, he took full responsibility for the decision. It is mine alone. There is no passive voice. There are no weasel words. He does not blame Crooked Hillary, the Deep State, George Soros, China, or any other convenient boogeyman. In a word, he demonstrated honor. However you may feel about Joe Biden’s record, this is a quality that our current president possesses. He is a man of honor. It is why the MAGA attempts to demonize him always poop out. And it is a quality foreign to Trump, or Ron DeSantis (despite all those hype videos), or Mike Pence, or any of the other GOP presidential hopefuls. Grifters have no honor. Sycophants have no honor. Fascists have no honor. And this is why, like the Nazis eight decades ago, they will be defeated. This is why we shall prevail. Worth reading in full. Heather Cox Richardson: From the evil Russian Orthodox Patriarch to Putin and Orbán, through Poland and China, Israel and Sudan, ultimately landing on the contrast between Ron DeSantis, fighting Disney, and Winston Churchill, fighting Hitler. Like Olear, well worth the read. PRIDE MONTH BONUS
