  • 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.

    Hiring slows in December to end the weakest year of job growth since the pandemic

    I’m in manufacturing, and morale is very low indeed at my work. We were already facing headwinds, but the Trump tariffs are pushing us to the brink. We lost $70 million dollars in revenue from tariffs last year, and are projected to lose more this year. And that figure is only the direct...

    Wasn’t it 50,000 dollars? “Why are you laughing!?” :tearsofjoy:

    Fewer international tourists are visiting the U.S. — economic losses could be ‘staggering,’ researchers estimate

    I assume an administration that claims to care so much about trade deficits would care about a 6% drop in tourism. Tourism, after all, reduces the trade deficit. Then again, that assumes that the people behind the administration / movement are logical and actually care about the things they...

    The 800 pound gorilla in the room - Epstein files never explored

    Riiight. Just like all those 2020 election cheating claims.

    The 800 pound gorilla in the room - Epstein files never explored

    Right. And hot in a Fox News kind of way. Our local Fox station is staffed by a decent number of women who have a similar look. My wife pointed it out one day. It's difficult not to think about that creepy factor now whenever I see that newscast (which isn't often). I mean I don't know if...

    The 800 pound gorilla in the room - Epstein files never explored

    I thought John Kasich was a decent candidate in the 2016 primaries. But he didn't have the "star power" (or the loud mouth) of a reality TV star. And he was far too reasonable for today's political climate. Even though I wish the Democrats would have had a primary in 2024, I still thought...

    Favorite Super Bowl Commercials?

    I'm thinking of ones from this year, but you can post commercials from any Super Bowl. My favorites from this year: 1. Ben Stiller Instacart. :tearsofjoy: Apparently I didn't see this entire thing when the game was on. Just the tail end of it (the best part). 2. Chris Hemsworth (the...

    Elections

    Will it be held? Yeah - I'm a 1. Will it be fair / will Trump try to mess with it somehow? Maybe a 7. I mean if the Republicans are going to lose control of congress, I think it's a pretty safe bet that he's going to try something. How severe is anyone's guess. But the fact that he tried...

    The Melania Movie

    From the article: Amazon wasn’t the only entity displeased. The locals, according to the Instagram post, flooded the theatre with “countless emails and voicemails” wondering “why the hell we had Melania here, or disdaining our disparaging of her.” People see a marquee and email or call the...

    The Melania Movie

    Not wanting to see Melania’s movie = hate. If that’s the case, I guess I hate anyone who plays professional soccer as well. And all NASCAR drivers. And anyone who has ever been on a reality TV show. (Whoops… no offense to the prez, of course).

    The Melania Movie

    Liberal movie reviewers don't know a work of art when they see it... A Documentary That Courageously Explains Nothing Calling Melania a documentary is generous. Calling it content is debatable.

    The Melania Movie

    I feel like our country has become the biggest joke on the planet. Just when you think things can't get any more bizarre. And then it beats box office expectations, pulling in $7 million on the opening weekend. That will cover a small portion of the bribe, erm... salary that they paid Melania...
