When news came that the US defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, would be travelling to Normandy to mark D-day, some in the seaside village of Langrune-sur-Mer – where the afternoon ceremony was slated to be held – felt they had to speak up.

“We found it unbelievable that they could send someone who held views and values contrary to democracy, human rights, peace and Europe,” said resident Chantal Richard.

Border security czar and future truth and reconciliation commission defendant Tom Homan has spent the past week saber-rattling about his foot soldiers’ impending invasion of New York City. He told Fox News that he has reviewed “operational plans” to send ICE into the city to carry out a threat he made to New York Governor Kathy Hochul. Homan had vowed to send in the jackboots should Hochul sign legislation barring local law enforcement from cooperating with Homan’s goons. She did sign that legislation.
