  • 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

    Trump wants DOJ to pay him $230 million for previous investigations: Sources

    As I've thought about this, I'm starting to wonder if we'll see more lawsuits against the DoJ. As examples, I can see Letitia James and James Comey suing for wrongful/political prosecution. Normally, I don't think these cases would game much tractions but, if Trump does push a settlement through...

    An EBT Crisis?

    Seems like they were mostly in the Houston area: H-E-B Pantry Foods

    An EBT Crisis?

    Or, one of the major factors, changing prices due to weather. It's easy enough to price umbrellas at $5 when it is sunny, but electronically change the price up to $10 when it is raining, as an example (though they do have to make sure they don't run into issues with price gouging, but those...

    An EBT Crisis?

    I find it questionable that they ran out Albertsons. Albertsons tried to move into South Texas about 25 years ago but found that the area is saturated by various grocery stores. They came in at a time when most HEBs still seemed to be HEB Pantries, a cheaper version of HEB stores that was more...

    Former Trump supporter Pamela Hemphill refuses Jan. 6 pardon; apparently the only one to do so (ETA: there is another...)

    I suspect they think that Trump will pardon them again, since they are just trying to "help" get rid of the "traitors." Unfortunately, he is charged under New York State law, meaning if he can't get it moved to Federal Court, he has no chance of a pardon.

    The Economist: Trump's approval rating crashes!

    I realize this tends to be the "go to" response for many on the Right, however it doesn't seem to fit here. Instead, The Economist is a well regarded publication, one that is highly factual, that attempts to be in the Center, and is largely judged to keep bias out and articles tend to be...

    The Schumer Shutdown

    Apparently the US public blames both parties and the President for the shutdown, not either Democrats or Republicans. Per an AP-NORC poll, 58% blame Donald Trump, 58% blame Republicans in Congress, and 54% blame Democrats in Congress.

    The Schumer Shutdown

    Says the man refusing to seat a Democrat that has been duly elected to the House, since before the government shut down. Johnson should quit playing politics, before accusing the other side of playing politics.

    Soros-Backed Group, Beto O’Rourke PAC Pick Up Tab For Texas Democrats’ Gerrymandering Stunt

    And it seems somewhat obvious that Paxton went "judge shopping," just so he could get a judge that would ignore the Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United. Otherwise, there is no reason for him to be filing suit in Tarrant County rather than in the area of the Capitol (Travis County) or where...

    The Truth About Texas

    My issue is, it is not going to happen in the US -- not without some type of massive change of the political parties. To implement something like this would require a Constitutional Amendment and no Amendments are going to be passed in the US in the current divisive political environment...

    Oklahoma State Superintendent Mandates All Public Schools to Teach Bible

    This reminds me of growing up in Oklahoma. I was "blessed" (actually, my parents made sure of it before we moved there) to live in a community with excellent schools. The town I grew up in was headquarters to a major oil company, so the executives and scientists working at the oil company...

    Astronaut James Lovell, best known as the Commander of Apollo 13, died

    Moonwalker sounds like a book I need to read. Years ago, I read Lost Moon, which is an autobiographical account of the events of Apollo 13, as well as Jim Lovell's career. I read it years before Apollo 13 was made, which used Lost Moon as the basis for the movie. It is a major part of why I have...

    Soros-Backed Group, Beto O’Rourke PAC Pick Up Tab For Texas Democrats’ Gerrymandering Stunt

    Maybe because New Mexico has only 3 House seats in New Mexico and their Congressional Districts do not appear to be gerrymandered? Instead, it appears the Congressional districts are basically one for the North, one for the South, and one for Albuquerque (and the center of the state). Or is your...
