“The war. What is more opposite of music? The silence of ruined cities and killed people. Our children draw swooping rockets, not shooting stars. Over 400 children have been injured and 153 children died, and we will never see them drawing.
“Our parents are happy to wake up in the morning in bomb shelters, but alive. Our loved ones don’t know if we will be together again. The war doesn’t let us choose who survives and who stays in eternal silence.
“Our musicians wear body armor instead of tuxedos. They sing to the wounded in hospitals. Even to those who can’t hear them. But the music will break through anyway.
“We defend our freedom. To live. To love. To sound. On our land, we are fighting Russia which brings horrible silence with its bombs.
“Fill the silence with your music. Fill it today. Tell our story. Tell the truth about the war on your social networks and TV. But not silence.” – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, addressing last night’s Grammy Awards.

Trey Gowdy Demands Madison Cawthorn Name Names
Former GOP rep turned Fox host Trey Gowdy unloaded on Madison Cawthorn’s “orgies and cocaine” claims last night.
My question for the congressman is simply this: Who? Give us the names. If you’re being invited to cocaine parties by colleagues, tell us who invited you? Who used illicit drugs in front of you? Who broke the very laws they passed, and expect to us follow?
Which of your colleagues believes he or she is above the law? Who is doubling as a deviant by night while talking about family values by day? The good ones don’t make the news, the bad ones get all of the attention.
This modern obsession with negativity does not need to be enhanced by exaggeration. I was in DC for eight years, and the people I associated with it were nothing like what this congressman described.
Tim Scott’s idea of a wild time was ordering dessert. Kevin McCarthy did take to us see movies, and one time, he did order butter popcorn if that counts.
Joe Kennedy’s nickname was ‘milk,’ because It was the strongest thing he drank. Jason Chaffetz didn’t need milk because he didn’t even drink coffee.
The people that I was around did none of what you described ever, so if you are invited to NC -17 parties and watching people do cocaine, you are hanging around with the wrong people, but you should name them, so their constituents know what they are doing on the people’s time.
And if none of what you described really happened, you need to admit that too. Either tell us who you saw doing cocaine and who invited you to sexually explicit parties, or admit what we suspect, which is that you made it up.
And then ask yourself where fairness and honesty fall on the list of qualities we should be looking for in members of Congress.
I think he doth protest too much. Look we have long heard of the amount of drinking and illicit sex high ranking government people do. Matt Gaetz is accused of running drug fueled sex parties. Do we think he was the only one?
