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.

An animal rescue charity has successfully evacuated two lionesses from a war-affected part of Ukraine, and one has just been filmed taking her first steps into a new, calmer world.
Yuna the lioness had never even felt grass beneath her paws—having been raised in captivity in a small concrete enclosure. She had been traumatized long before the arrival of Russian bombs.
In concert with the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) The Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent, England, organized the retrieval and air transport of Yuna out of Ukraine in an operation that took 30 hours.

Harris is attacking Vance? No surprise here.What JD Vance actually said:
"If these psychos are going to go after our kids, we've got to be prepared for it," Vance said, according to The Associated Press. "We don't have to like the reality that we live in, but it is the reality we live in."
The senator from Ohio continued, saying he didn't "like" that such shootings are "a fact of life" but said American schools are "soft targets."
I don’t like to admit this; I don’t like that this is a fact of life.” He then said, “We’ve got to bolster security so that if a psycho wants to walk through a front door and kill a bunch of children, they’re not able to.”
This is true.
Fact Check:
Harris HQ posted that JD Vance responds to the deadly shooting in Georgia by saying school shootings are just “a fact of life” and attacking common sense gun safety reform.
Verdict: Misleading
This quote has been taken out of context. Vance actually said “I don’t like that this is a fact of life,” before advocating for increased security measures in schools.
FACT CHECK: Harris Campaign Claims JD Vance Said School Shootings Are Just A ‘Fact Of Life’ Following Georgia Shooting
"This is yet another case of the fake news media brazenly lying about a Republican politician," Vance spokesperson William Martin said in a comment to Fox. "Senator Vance said exactly the opposite of what the Associated Press claimed."checkyourfact.com
I’m not pointing fingers. Both sides are guilty of this.

MAGA World's Reaction to Russian Election Interference Indictment;
Conspiracy Theories and Attacks on Law Enforcement Agencie
Every reaction but introspection about why the Kremlin would want to surreptitiously fund MAGA personalitiesRight-wing media figures are responding to news that several prominent MAGA influencers were unwittingly working on behalf of Russia by spouting absurd conspiracy theories and attacking law enforcement officials who uncovered the apparent scheme.
The Department of Justice announced Wednesday a multidepartment effort to target Russian-backed attempts to interfere with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, including criminal charges against two Russian nationals, sanctions against 10 other individuals and entities, and the seizure of 32 internet domains.
At Russian President Vladimir Putin’s direction, three Russian companies used fake profiles to promote false narratives on social media, US Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said in a statement. Internal documents produced by one of those Russian companies show one of the goals of the propaganda effort was to boost the candidacy of Donald Trump or whoever emerged as the Republican nominee for president, according to an FBI affidavit.
