It’s official the Republican Party is the Nazi Party. Will Trump declare April 20 Hitler’s Birthday a national holiday? Do we keep the Stars & Stripes or do swastika flags go up around the Capital?
“Nathalie Tocci, director of the Institute for International Affairs in Rome, watched Mr. Vance’s speech and interpreted the message as a direct threat by the United States to the European Union, which far-right Europeans and the Kremlin both seek to dismantle. She called it a plot twist by the United States.
“The plot is we are out there to destroy you,” Ms. Tocci said.
“The point is not even Ukraine,” she added. “The point is the deliberate weakening, if not destruction, of Europe, of which Ukraine is a part.”
Ms. Tocci described Mr. Vance’s remarks as an attack on European democracy that perversely twisted the language of democracy itself, the way Russia often does when seeking to sow division within Europe.”

Remarks by Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are fueling concerns that the U.S. will move away from Europe and align with Moscow.

One Christmas night my Aunt Angelina, Aunt Martha, Uncle Lou & Uncle Fred sat at my grandmom’s kitchen table.
I said to Uncle Fred and Uncle Lou.
“Thanks for what you did.”
Uncle Fred,
“What do you mean?”
“Thanks for what you did in the war. If you didn’t do it we might all be speaking German now.
My Uncle Fred had to leave the table.
My Uncle Fred was a combat engineer who landed at Omaha Beach on D-Day. He kept his boots on for three months until they got to Paris. He was constantly under fire for three months.
Uncle Fred never said a word about World War II. My daughter Julia & son Jeff saw him on his front porch and went up to talk. He was putting maggots on his foot to eat away dead tissue.
It was that mold infection that put him in the hospital in England for a few weeks. During that time his unit was tasked with blowing up a bridge. Something went wrong and his entire unit was killed. I found out from someone at the Veterans Medical Center in Coatesville, PA that haunted him the rest of his life. Uncle Fred thought that if he was there they would have done the job correctly.
I’m saddened and angered by the Republican Party revival of Nazism.
My Uncle Lou was a sergeant in Patton’s Army. He said the Germans had better tanks but for every Sherman tank the Nazis destroyed 10 more would come to replace it.
This is my favorite WWII film scene. It’s from Fury with Brad Pitt:
