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.

ICE’s Growing Feud With Chicago Police Now Includes Fake 911 Calls
ICE’s Growing Feud With Chicago Police Now Includes Fake 911 Calls
Surprise, surprise: Federal immigration agents aren’t keeping the community safer.
newrepublic.com
An Illinois police chief has accused ICE agents of making fake 911 calls to local police.
Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills told CBS News that multiple officers responded to a call about someone trying to break into the gate of an ICE facility on Thursday. When they arrived, they just saw a CBS News cameraman and security guard taking pictures.
“It’s disturbing. It’s ridiculous,” Mills said.
According to an incident report, it was an ICE agent that made the call. This is the very same ICE facility where masked agents shot a pepper ball inside CBS News Chicago reporter Asal Rezaei’s car completely unprompted.
“We’re going to look at maybe reaching out to Cook County State’s Attorney for subpoenas, “ said Mills, who has vowed to get the name of every officer involved in the incident.
Sounds like some ICE agents need to go to jail.

The agency estimates that in general, resources would decrease for households in the lowest decile (tenth) of the income distribution, whereas resources would increase for households in the highest decile.
This analysis includes most, but not all, provisions of the bill. The analysis excludes the effects of part 2 of subtitle D (Affordable Care Act) of the reconciliation recommendations of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, all the recommendations of the Committee on Education and Workforce, and any provisions not allocated in JCT staff’s distributional analysis of the recommendations of the Committee on Ways and Means.2 It also excludes interactions between the titles of the recommendations.
The total effects reported in this analysis for the 2026–2034 period include the following:
· An increase in the federal deficit of $3.8 trillion attributable to tax changes, including extending provisions of the 2017 tax act, which includes revenues and outlays for refundable credits.
· $698 billion less in federal subsidies from changes to the Medicaid program.
· $267 billion less in federal spending for SNAP.
· $64 billion less in spending, on net, for all other purposes. That includes increases in outlays for defense, immigration enforcement, and homeland security. Those are offset by reductions in federal pensions, receipts from spectrum auctions, and changes in receipts and outlays associated with changes to emissions regulations.
· $78 billion in additional state spending, on net, accounting for changes in state contributions to SNAP and Medicaid and for state tax and spending policies necessary to finance additional spending.
CBO estimates that household resources would decrease by an amount equal to about 2 percent of income in the lowest decile (tenth) of the income distribution in 2027 and 4 percent in 2033, mainly as a result of losses of in-kind transfers, such as Medicaid and SNAP (see the figure).3 By contrast, resources would increase by an amount equal to 4 percent for households in the highest decile in 2027 and 2 percent in 2033, mainly because of reductions in they taxes they owe. The distributional effects vary throughout the 10-year projection period as different components of the legislation are phased in and out.
---In summary - those who can ill afford ANY household income reduction lose 2% now - but will lose 4% in coming years.
Those who are already the greediest, richest people in human history get a nice 4% increase. 4% increase on their EXISTING multi-million or tens of millions in salary income! Nice! It's a reverse Robin Hood - no wonder Trump called it a "Big Beautiful Bill!"

South Carolina judge's house destroyed by fire; officials investigating cause - ABC News
share.google
A South Carolina judge's house went up in flames Sunday, hospitalizing three and destroying the home.
Circuit Court Judge Diane Goodstein was walking her dogs on the beach in Edisto Island, S.C., about an hour south of Charleston, when the fire began, according to officials. Her husband, former state Sen. Arnold Goodstein, their son, Arnold Goodstein III, and one other occupant were forced to jump from the burning building from an elevated first floor to escape the blaze, officials said.
Last month, Goodstein blocked the South Carolina Election Commission from providing the Department of Justice with millions of voter files that included personal names, addresses, driver’s license numbers and social security numbers, according to court documents.

It makes me wonder what happens to all of these churches when their pastors are so wrong? Do they fold? Do the pastors say they made a mistake and change the date, leading congregants to stay and prepare for the new date or what happens?Ugh. False teaching. Read what Jesus said about all this date setting.
