  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Why is the extreme issue with ICE only in one state?

    'Paramilitary' has drawn negative connotations since at least the 1980s (and likely beforehand) due to paramilitary groups being associated with 'death squads' used many countries as an instrument of death and repression (particularly in Central & South America) from the 1960s onwards. I'd say...

    Newsom bets big on Trump’s goodwill to shrink California’s budget hole

    This is divorced from reality. The US is currently experiencing oil stock growth and a (minor) refinery capacity surplus. US crude oil inventories are forecast to go from 413 million barrels as of Dec 2025 to 481 million barrels by Dec 2026. US distillate and gasoline inventories are ~370...

    Soros-backed Philadelphia DA vows to 'hunt' down ICE agents: 'We will find you'

    There's a long history of US States prosecuting Federal officials for criminal activities conducted within their jurisdiction. The precedent goes back more than 160 years. Supreme Court rulings are very clear on this. From Johnson v State of Maryland (1920): "Of course an employee of the...

    Why is the extreme issue with ICE only in one state?

    Oh, and the answer to the OP's question: It's punitive. The Trump administration is deploying its Braunhemden to punish Trump's opponents and detractors, along with the populations that voted against him in the election. It's also provocative. The very high visibility surge of ICE...

    Very cool. However, it should be mandatory for science reporters to report the name of the paper and provide a link to it in all reporting. Anyway, PNAS seems to be broken at the moment, so here's a link on PubMed https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41587331/
