  • 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.

Week 43 and 44 - Trump's very bad 2 weeks

I have been moving for the last two weeks so I didn't get to do this last week. Hopefully I am not moving again for a looong time. It is exhausting.

Many Americans are not buying Trump's lies. His approval is at an all-time low for him. People know that grocery prices are up, and haven't come down. They know that gas is still high, and that any drop that has happened is because it always drops at the end of summer. People know that homes are staying unaffordable. And most Americans realize that we are paying the tariffs in higher prices for everything imported even if it is just something in the product that is imported.

Trump's poll numbers are dropping in regards to immigration, trade, inflation and more. His efforts to hide the Epstein files is noted. Now that he ordered the investigation of Democrats that are or may be in the files, he will probably classify the files as a result. The cover-up continues.

But finally, there is movement by Republicans in office away from Trump. Marjorie Taylor Green is resigning, though I expect her to run for governor of Georgia. The Senate Republicans are resisting ending the filibuster which is something Trump wants. Many Republicans voted to release the Epstein files. The Republicans in Indiana are refusing to redraw their districts to favor Republicans. Perhaps they see the polls and realize that outside Trump's core base of about 30%, the public is not enamored with Donald.

Another example of Republicans moving away from Trump involves the bargaining rights of federal workers. Republicans joined Democrats in a discharge petition to force a vote on a bill to restore the collective bargaining right of federal workers - and reverses an executive order signed by Trump.


Trump shouldn't be calling female reporters "piggy". There is only one Miss Piggy and she has a temper:
