CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams asks for prayers as he’s accused of taking $10M in illegal donations
- By Michie
New York City Mayor Eric Adams asked his supporters for prayers just hours before he was formally indicted Thursday on charges that he took some $10 million in bribes and illegal campaign donations from foreign nationals in exchange for favors.
In a video statement on Wednesday night, Adams has pre-emptively dismissed the allegations as "entirely false based on lies."
"It is now my belief that the federal government intends to charge me with crimes. If so, these charges will be entirely false based on lies but they would not be surprising," Adams said as he became the city's first sitting mayor to be indicted.

The Biden administration has agreed to pay $210,000 in legal fees after being sued for trying to compel Christian employers to provide or pay for health plans covering gender transition surgeries and other related services.
The Christian Employers Alliance reached a settlement with the administration after winning a judgment earlier this year against the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
CEA was represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative legal group that has successfully argued religious freedom cases before the U.S. Supreme Court.

There's been another assassination attempt on Trump
- By comana

I feel the poll question was leading but regardless, responders are just being honest that with Trump out of the picture, in this case an unfortunate assassination, would leave the US better off. It is an extreme way to just ask “ Would the US be better off without Trump as a candidate/ President.“Sweeping the perimeter and posting an agent at known spots of vunerabilities. This spot was known, it had been used previously by the press. Gunman was there about 12 hours prior.
1. Incompetence: Highly unlikely from supposedly the worlds most elite protectection service wit a 3 billion + budget. If this is the case why in Ron Rowe still there?
2. Insufficient resources: USSS has boasted enhanced protection for Trump and has previously guarded this golf course supposedly with less and according to the whistle blower did not follow previous protocols in this case.
3. Miscommunication: Laughable to suggest this from an elite protection service with a 3 billion dollars budget and years of experience and coming off o major failure in Butler, PA, while claiming enhanced security for Trump.
4. Last Minute changes: Well explain how a gunman lay in wait for 12 hours? No excuse for not sending an advance team just ahead of Trump to sweep the perimeter and cover know vulnerabilities. Teams were ahead of Trump on the course why not outside the course as well?
Nothing you thought of off the top of your head excuses or explains what happened. More heads need to roll but that is highly unlikely from this administration.
We have more than enough information to know that two failures of this magnitude from the USSS in this short period of time in inexcusable when our government has known about plots to take out Trump for at least two years and most likely 4. In 2022 Fox News reported on an Iranian threat to Trump and others. Ron Rowe and others need to go. Matt Getz says a top level DOD official told him there are 5 known hit teams in the US, 3 foreign and 2 domestic. And what was the liberal response on this forum? Matt is an "unreliable source" never mind the threats have been there for several years . It is always shoot the messenger (not literally) from liberals and ignore the facts.
Even if that is true there is no justification for releasing such information to the public. Indictments are sealed all the time , all evidence is not released to the public in many cases . This was a blatant ridiculas move that could inspire more crazies to act. This was not needed in the public forum to charge this gunman!
Poll: 28% of Democrats say U.S. better off if Trump were assassinated
(The Center Square) – More than a quarter of Democrats in a new poll said America would be better off if former President Donald Trump had been killed in Sunday'swww.thecentersquare.com
The above link shows a poll of 1000 registered Democrats voters. 28% percent shocking say the US would be better off if Trump were assassinated.
Food for thought if 28% of everyday voters feel that way how many Government workers or politicians who stand to lose power and influence if Trump is elected feel that way.
What has happened to Trump by all available evidence screams it was allowed to happen.
Obviously the poll is designed to be interpreted, by inference, that those responding yes actually want him killed, but that is not what was actually asked.

Pew survey in U.S. and Latin America gauges views on Church teachings, popularity of Pope Francis

The Pew Research Center has released the results of a survey of how Catholics in the United States and six Latin American countries feel the Church should handle a variety of issues related to the priesthood, contraception, and sexuality as well as their views of Pope Francis.
In its survey of more than 12,000 Catholics in the United States, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Peru, Pew found widespread dissent from Church teachings, including majorities of Catholics in every country except Mexico in favor of allowing women to become priests.
Support for the ordination of women to the priesthood ranged from a high of 83% in Brazil to a low of 47% in Mexico. Sixty-four percent of U.S. Catholics surveyed were also in favor, slightly higher than the 62% when Pew surveyed American Catholics on the issue 10 years ago.
Support for female ordination varied widely by age, however. For example, only 34% of Mexican Catholics above age 40 favor female ordination, compared with 64% in the 18-39 age bracket.
