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.

Chinese migrants flood South Florida via boat as authorities seek help with Cuban smugglers
- By Vambram
Chinese migrants flood South Florida via boat as authorities seek help with Cuban smugglers.
Chinese migrants were found in Coral Gables, Florida, where suspected smugglers from Cuba and Haiti were arrested.
Amid a nationwide crackdown on known criminal aliens in the first days of President Donald Trump's second arrival at the White House, police and federal agents have stumbled upon dozens of Chinese migrants in Coral Gables, Florida, and arrested at least four suspected smugglers from Cuba and another from Haiti.
Now local authorities are hoping that more resources from the state and federal government will help them protect the coastal enclave, just west of Miami.
The waterfront city has more coastline to protect than Miami Beach.
Police said a witness reported seeing a suspicious man shoving a woman into a Toyota Corolla parked near a U-Haul van. Responding officers, investigating the incident as a possible kidnapping, found 22 migrants in the van, most of them believed to be Chinese. They found three more migrants in the Toyota, from Ecuador and Brazil. Investigators found it suspicious that they had valuables like phones and jewelry, but no typical items a tourist would carry, including luggage, spare clothes or sunscreen. The migrants were taken to a U.S. Border Patrol facility.

Biden pardons Fauci, Milley and the Jan. 6 panel. It's a guard against potential 'revenge' by Trump

The hypocrisy is astounding:
Biden pardons Fauci, Milley and the Jan. 6 panel. It's a guard against potential 'revenge' by Trump
Joe Biden, in one of his final acts as president, pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, in an extr...www.yahoo.com
“The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense,” Biden said in a statement. “Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.”
The prospect of such pardons had been the subject of heated debate for months at the highest levels of the White House. It’s customary for a president to grant clemency at the end of his term, but those acts of mercy are usually offered to Americans who have been convicted of crimes.
Trump said after his inauguration that Biden had pardoned people who were “very very guilty of very bad crimes" — “political thugs,” Trump called them.
Biden, a Democrat, has used the power in the broadest and most untested way possible: to pardon those who have not even been investigated. His decision lays the groundwork for an even more expansive use of pardons by Trump, a Republican, and future presidents.
While the Supreme Court last year ruled that presidents enjoy broad immunity from prosecution for what could be considered official acts, the president's aides and allies enjoy no such shield. There is concern that future presidents could use the promise of a blanket pardon to encourage allies to take actions they might otherwise resist for fear of running afoul of the law.
It’s unclear whether those pardoned by Biden would need to apply for the clemency. Acceptance could be seen as a tacit admission of guilt or wrongdoing, validating years of attacks by Trump and his supporters, even though those who were pardoned have not been formally accused of any crimes. The “full and unconditional” pardons for Fauci and Milley cover the period extending back to Jan. 1, 2014.
“These are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing,” Biden said, adding that “Even when individuals have done nothing wrong — and in fact have done the right thing — and will ultimately be exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage reputations and finances.”
Fauci was director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health for nearly 40 years, including during Trump's term in office, and later served as Biden’s chief medical adviser until his retirement in 2022. He helped coordinate the nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and raised Trump's ire when he resisted Trump's untested public health notions. Fauci has since become a target of intense hatred and vitriol from people on the right, who blame him for mask mandates and other policies they believe infringed on their rights, even as hundreds of thousands of people were dying.
“Despite the accomplishments that my colleagues and I achieved over my long career of public service, I have been the subject of politically-motivated threats of investigation and prosecution,” Fauci said in a statement. “There is absolutely no basis for these threats. Let me be perfectly clear: I have committed no crime.”
Biden in December 2024: Biden declares to Jan. 6 defendants that accepting a pardon was akin to a "confession of guilt",
Biden January, 20 minutes before leaving office: Pardons virtually everyone in his administration with a high level job and his brother, literally. In fact, his whole family; Biden issues former President Biden issued a series of preemptive pardons to family members, members of Congress, and former public servants.
Fauci is pardoned back to 2014, which of course, begs the question, WHAT has Fauci been doing all these years?
Biden/his handlers are hypocrisy personified.
