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.

As Trump ‘Exports’ Deportees, Hundreds Are Trapped in Panama Hotel
The administration has asked Panama to take in hundreds of people who can’t easily be sent back to their countries. Many say they are in danger.
One committed suicide. One broke his legs trying to escape. They are locked in a hotel.
An Afghan woman stands at the window with a sign indicating she will be beheaded if returned.
Are you embarrassed to be an American yet?
These people were escaping death. Torture.
It's easier to say "not easily repatriated" than "sending them to their deaths."
America has lost its soul.

Make a joyful noise
- Deeper Fellowship

I wanted to leave on a positive note. I have peace and joy in my heart. Choose peace instead of political and religious division. All we need is to follow the words of Jesus and his apostles. Rejoice always as Paul said. Be thankful and don't complain or fight over worldly things because God is our supplier and not man.
The Lord taught me himself and so man's theological division is unnecessary. I seek peace not conflict. Jesus commandments are the way. Instead of the clamor of division found in politicical and religious strife, lets make a joyful noise to the Lord. Thats our purpose. God bless you folks.

Authorities reported a series of explosions on buses in central Israel in what they said appeared to be a terror attack
Three buses in a parking lot reportedly exploded in Israel Thursday night in what appears to have been a terrorist attack. No one was injured. Several other bombs were reportedly discovered on other buses, according to TPS-IL, an Israeli news agency.
Israeli officials have ordered all bus and train services halted while all vehicles are inspected for bombs following the three bus explosions. Three public buses exploded on Thursday night at around 8:30 PM as they sat at a bus depot in Bat Yam, a city located just south of Tel Aviv.
Firefighters arrived on the scene and put out the fires. The buses were empty at the time and no one was wounded.

Praise the LORD!!!!The Trump loyalist is taking over a bureau in turmoil over firings and an effort to gather names of people who worked on Jan. 6 Capitol riot investigations.
WASHINGTON — Kash Patel, a longtime loyalist to President Donald Trump, was confirmed by the Senate on Thursday as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation — an agency he has talked about drastically restructuring while echoing Trump’s claims of the “weaponization” of the bureau’s powers in its Capitol riot investigations and other recent cases.

Kentucky bishops back bill to allow ‘alternative sentencing’ for criminals with children
- By Michie

The Catholic bishops of Kentucky are backing proposed legislation that would require a court to consider alternative sentencing for convicted criminals who have young children.
The measure states that Kentucky wishes to “promote, strengthen, and encourage family life for the protection and care of children” and “maintain the family unit with an emphasis on the parent-child relationship.”
Parental incarceration is classified as an “adverse childhood experience,” the bill notes, which can lead to poor mental and physical health outcomes and increase a child’s chances of criminal activity in turn.
The bill would require courts to consider a convicted criminal’s “status as a primary caretaker of a dependent child” before imposing a sentence. A court would be required to “consider an alternative sentence” in such circumstances while weighing the parent’s criminal history, the seriousness of the crime, and other factors.
