  • 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.

Good news--Joe Biden says inflation has dropped ten months in a row

I was expecting it to be $60 tops. It would have been $50 last year. Prices are too high and getting higher and Biden is too senile to realize that since he thinks inflation is go down. It's not going down, it's going up through the stratosphere.

Works for me. That was the reasoning "81 million" votes were cast for the 18 wheeler drivin' Biden; "He's not orange!!!!"
For a lot of us, that was enough.

-- A2SG, doubt he was a lot of folks' first choice, but he was still far and away better than the alternative..........

Too much money under the Biden regime, vote for DeSantis.

DeSantis costs tax payers too much money to pay for things of no value.

Republican supermajorities in the House and Senate tucked an unprecedented almost $16 million into the state’s $117 billion budget for litigation costs to defend policies DeSantis just advanced or to cover battles already underway, like his yearlong clash with the Walt Disney Company.

DeSantis taps D.C. law firm billing $725 an hour to defend culture war laws

Legal bills have totaled at least $5.8 million in just five cases, according to the Sentinel’s review. That includes
$2.4 million for the felon voting law; $1.6 million for SB 90; $848,800 for the social media law; $572,042 for a ban
on school mask mandates; and $422,304 for a prohibition on vaccine passport requirements.

Moreover, that felon voting law costs netted exactly two guilty pleas, and the rest thrown out of court. So that's 1.2 million per conviction.

General Mills and their corporate siblings thank you.


WASHINGTON, DC – Following the U.S. Labor Department’s latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, a new analysis from government watchdog Accountable.US found many of the largest general consumer S&P 500 companies have admitted to benefiting from increased prices as their net profits increased year-over-year and they rewarded shareholders with billions in new shareholder handouts. The data is more evidence that while inflation is slowing, the Fed’s strategy of repeated interest rate hikes has been unable to contain a key driver of excessive consumer prices — corporate greed.

Accountable.US’ review found General Mills, whose executives admitted to “getting smart about how we look at pricing” while implementing “list price increases,” saw its net income increase 16.5% to $2.7 billion in its FY 2022 and saw continued profit increases in the first nine months of its FY 2023. Additionally, the company spent over $2.12 billion in shareholder handouts and $1.2 billion on the acquisition of Tyson Foods’ pet treats business in its FY 2022 and has nearly matched shareholder handouts in just the first nine months of FY 2023. Read more in MarketWatch.

Accountable.US also found Tyson––whose executives touted seeing “significant pricing power of our portfolio with a year-over-year increase of 7.6%”––saw its net income increase from $3 billion in FY 2021 to over $3.2 billion in FY 2022 and rewarded shareholders with $1.35 billion in handouts––$652 million more than the previous year, including a 948.5% increase in stock buybacks.
