  • 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.

    Nearly blind refugee found dead in New York days after immigration agents dropped him at a coffee shop alone, officials say

    Odds are that an unconscious person alone in a public space is someone experiencing an overdose. Narcan doesn't have any serious side effects, so it seems likely that this was merely a precaution/standard procedure. The only people he should have encountered after his release were his family...

    Nearly blind refugee found dead in New York days after immigration agents dropped him at a coffee shop alone, officials say

    Clearly. And the fact that no easy answers exist for those questions (most of which should be fairly simple) is concerning. I think you grossly underestimate human beings and their resourcefulness. My great-aunt, in her late 80s at the time and suffering from severe dementia and arthritis...

    Clinton's avoiding deposition

    I wasn't aware that he had been accused of doing anything illegal (currently) beyond vague gesturing in the direction of his association with Epstein.

    Gun Toter Slogans Increasingly Aggravating

    There's always been more than a bit of an undercurrent of anti-liberal sentiment in the gun owner community as a whole, and current trends in self-expression and public discourse mean that more people are comfortable with openly expressing opinions that might upset or anger others. That said...

    Clinton's avoiding deposition

    I'm certainly not taking his word for anything. But, at least in this situation, there doesn't seem to be any evidence of wrongdoing on his part either.

    Zohran Mamdani Gets Ruthlessly Mocked for Requiring 5 Forms of ID to Be an ‘Emergency Snow Shoveler’: ‘This is Jim SNOW 2.0'

    I would have thought that was obvious - the city government has an obligation to follow federal tax law. If they're hiring paid employees - even temporary ones - they have to report those paychecks to the IRS.

    Red state residents lead growing rebellion against data centers that Trump loves

    Under the current business model, I can't see any AI companies turning a profit. They've got trillions in capex commitments over the next several years on top of general overhead, and the highest-grossing companies are still in single-digit billions in terms of revenue. That means something...

    Daily Mail: Kristi Noem's ICE hiring chaos laid bare as fat, illiterate and violent misfits 'not ready to tie their own laces' are recruited

    I think you misunderstood the article. ICE has a website that claims to list the so-called "worst of the worst" criminal illegal aliens who they have arrested and/or deported. The assumption would be that these are people, in the country illegally, who have committed violent felonies like...

    Red state residents lead growing rebellion against data centers that Trump loves

    That's all middle/upper management stuff, not C-suite. Companies dump huge sums into investments that don't work out every day. I'm sure they're seeing results, but results do not mean that everything is working (and will continue to work) as advertised. There's a LOT of this going around too.

    Red state residents lead growing rebellion against data centers that Trump loves

    What are you even talking about? C-suite loves to spend money - it's one of their primary purposes. Especially other people's money, and the amount of investment capital floating around the AI space today means there's plenty of other people's money for C-suite execs to spend on it. What they...

    No room at the inn; Go find asylum somewhere else; Trump seeks to cancel thousands of asylum cases; applicants can be deported to third countries

    It might be - if the majority of the board hadn't been appointed by the current AG, which would call into question their objectivity.

    NY Fed report says Americans pay for almost all of Trump's tariffs, water is wet

    No, that data says that. 2025 was the weakest non-recession year for job growth since 2003 (181,000 jobs added - compared to 1.46 million in 2024), and the manufacturing sector lost over 100,000 jobs.

    Red state residents lead growing rebellion against data centers that Trump loves

    "Intrusion" is a very vague word that can mean many things. Having read the actual article, the main concerns are about water usage, electricity rates, and loss of farmland, which aren't really neighborhood-level issues. And those issues don't magically disappear if everyone is fine with...
