Flowers have a fragrance and their fragrance goes in the direction the wind blows. But human kindness goes in every direction.

To the extent our mind controls us…we lose our peace of mind.

He should have never been considered for office. It is only the admiration of American ego that allowed it. The U.S. has gone adrift with no place to go and the world is passing by watching a country fall into moral decay. The quicker he is gone the more likely we as citizens can resurrect ourselves from the ignorance this man has helped spearhead.

BREAKING: Music legend Sir Rod Stewart tears into "draft dodger" Trump over his despicable remarks insulting the sacrifices of the British soldiers and other NATO troops who died in Afghanistan.

The icon really didn't hold back...

“I may just be a humble rock star. I’m also a knight of the realm and I have my opinions,” said Stewart in a video posted to Instagram. "I was born just after [World War II] and I have great respect for our armed forces that fought and gave us our freedom so it hurts me badly, deeply, when I read that draft dodger Trump has criticized our troops in Afghanistan for not being on the front line."

"We lost over four hundred of our guys. Think of their parents. Think about it. And Trump calls them almost like cowards," he continued. "It's unbearable. So I'm calling on you Prime Minister Starmer and [Nigel] Farage, please make the draft dodger Trump apologize. Please."

Stewart ended his video with a salute, driving home the message. It comes amidst a wave of widespread backlash from our British friends across the pond after Trump unleashed a jaw-droppingly offensive rant at Davos.

“We’ve never needed them," Trump said of our NATO allies. "We have never really asked anything of them. You know, they’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this or that. And they did – they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines."

In reality, the United States invoked Article 5 of the NATO charter after the terror attacks of 9/11 and our allies bravely answered the call, sending their sons and daughters to fight and die beside Americans in Afghanistan. It's utterly reprehensible that Trump, a pampered coward who faked bone spurs to avoid the Vietnam War, would attack the memory of real heroes.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer addressed the remarks, calling them "insulting and frankly appalling" but stopped short of demanding an outright apology. He should do so immediately. While Trump will, of course, refuse to apologize because he's a pigheaded sociopath who's incapable of empathy, that doesn't mean we should let this slide. By demanding an apology, we force him to double down on his shameful comments and keep the story in the headlines.

Clinton told college students in 2013. “You know, if you’ve lost a lot of yesterdays—welcome to the human race. But you don’t have to give anybody your tomorrows. I think that’s the most important thing to remember.”   

President George W. Bush used to call Bill Clinton for advice—and his message was consistently to get out of your own way.

ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) has operated for years with extraordinary power and almost no accountability. The result has been predictable and devastating: excessive force, civil rights violations, secrecy, and a culture that treats abuse as collateral damage.

Now, Democrats in both chambers of Congress are speaking out. Members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and senators, including Senator Chris Murphy, are warning that ICE has become one of the most unaccountable agencies in the federal government. They are demanding a fundamental change in how Congress approaches ICE funding.

But words are not enough. As long as Congress continues to approve funding without enforceable reforms, nothing changes. Investigations stall. Oversight fails. Communities pay the price.

Government funding runs out on 1/30. This is the leverage point.

Democrats must refuse to fund ICE unless reforms are written into law and backed by real enforcement. No more funding first, accountability later.

Democrats have the power to force this choice, and some Republicans might join them. Every member of Congress needs to know the public is watching. Please sign the petition to Congress now.

The petition says:

I urge you to oppose all funding for ICE unless clear, enforceable, systemic reforms are written into law, including:

- ICE agents are required to wear ID and take off their masks
- The agency adopts and follows standards of professional policing
- Agents who kill, hurt, or unlawfully detain people are investigated and punished
