• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

I guess there won't be a wall after all.

The first picture is the new fence. About 10 feet of solid concrete topped by another 10 feet of fencing.

The second picture is the old fence that has been in place for 15-20 years and is made up of steel slats positioned like partially opened venetian blinds.
I'm looking at the upper right hand corner. Are you saying that they dug out the hillside, poured a 10 ft retaining wall, put a temporary wire fence on top?

How much was in the last budget for it? Since their will be a bunch of unrealistic budgets coming out of the house for awhile you would have to think there will be continuing budget resolutions for the foreseeable future.

Hard to foresee anything at this point.

Didn't you hear that she'll stay on the court at least until she's 90? That's 5 more years. And she's one very tough cookie. Don't bet against her. You have to hope he gets a 2nd term. (And the Dems don't take the Senate in 2020 or 2022.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Just Hinted at a Time Frame for Her Retirement
I wish her nothing but a long, healthy life. But people's priorities change. It would be nice to see her napping in retirement instead of at official functions.

Hey, I remember that! That was during an Obama SOTU address. Didn't she say she had a drink beforehand? Wouldn't you want a drink (or 2, or 3) if you had to sit through an Obama speech? :oldthumbsup:

So much for the (former) landowners having access to their (former) lands.
The still have access. CBP put gates with keypads on common access points. The point is they are still on the south side of the fence without nearby protection, and fire, ambulance, and law enforcement have to drive an additional distance to reach the gates.

What does this mean?
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States who is 85 years old and in very poor health. She is expected to resign (or die) before the 2020 elections.
