I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle equipment, it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com website.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was essentially kicked out of Normandy in France. They are declaring him persona non grata right there and saying never come back to Normandy after Hegseth gave this awful speech where he attacked European countries when he was on the hollow grounds of Normandy, which was supposed to be this solemn ceremony about D-Day and how allies came together, the United States and Canada and European countries and others coming together to fight back against fascism, to defeat Nazi Germany with that courageous act of allies coming together for the ultimate sacrifice. But when Hegseth was giving his D-Day speech, he said, and Europe today is allowing invasions of their beaches and their grounds like we saw back then, except this time it is the illegal immigrants that you are allowing invasions to take place.
And he made it into this whole horrific political attack on Europe, on Americans' allies. And so you see right here, Hegseth and his family leaving Normandy right there. And take a look right here how it's being described in the French press. You see right here, our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, says, I don't speak French, but I think this means the people in Normandy didn't like Hegseth's speech. You have to breathe a pretty colossal dipshit to screw up a D-Day commemoration ceremony. Pete Hegseth, persona non grata in Normandy. He has no place here. Pete Hegseth persona non grata for the 82nd anniversary of the D-Day landings, this in the French press and elsewhere. And just to remind you, I'll just show you a very short portion of Hegseth's speech, one of the most disgraceful things to say to the memory of the men and women who gave their lives to win World War II.
Watch what Hegseth had to say here, play this clip. 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. 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. As our great President Ronald Reagan once said, freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. You don't pass it to the next generation in the bloodstream. It must be defended by each and every generation. We stand by our allies and we expect our allies capable and ready to stand alongside us.
Now, we are seeing Hegseth, Donald Trump, Trump cabinet members, persona non grata across the world as well. Hegseth and others being called out by, even in the past 24 hours, President Zelensky of Ukraine calling the US out by name and saying, We, Ukraine, do not agree when the United States makes deals with Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, for Ukraine to give up our territory.
