  • 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.

Giants of the twentieth century, Joyce, Woolf, Kafka - and now Trump:

You take a look at bacon and some of these products – and some people don’t eat bacon any more,” Trump said.
End of statement. Possibility in relation to the high cost of food.

Next statement:
“We are going to get the energy prices down. When we get energy down, you know … this was caused by their horrible energy – wind. They want wind all over the place. But when it doesn’t blow, we have a little problem.
Or maybe it is just, you know, wind . . .
He's saying wind is an inefficient source of energy because it only works when it happens to be windy enough to rotate those huge turbine propellers fast enough.

Maybe 15 years ago, but not now.

Wind power makes electricity costs lower, not higher. US average LCOE (USD per mW/h) for various power sources in 2024, from Lazards:

Nuclear: $182
Gas peaking: $169
Coal: $118
Offshore wind: $107
Geothermal: $85
Gas combined-cycle: $76
Solar utility scale: $61
Onshore wind: $50

Source: https://www.lazard.com/media/xemfey0k/lazards-lcoeplus-june-2024-_vf.pdf

According to Lazards, the cost of offshore wind power has fallen 49% since 2009, while the cost of onshore wind has come down 85%.

It's just the Don (Quixote) Trump tilting at windmills .. again.. he's really saying that getting rid of wind energy will allow the people denied bacon to eat it again. or something like that.

That's the understatement of the century.
would you like to honestly know what the real problem truly is my friend .
How often i have heard some say IF trump dont win america is doomed
And vice versa from the liberal camp , IF harris dont win america is doomed .
They have this in common . Their hope and trust be in man . in man .
I say , if america and this world dont repent and come to CHRIST , ITS DOOMED .
I never saw anywhere in that bible where Repentance to GOD was not a MUST in order to save it from the destruction .
Only i dont seem to hear that message of repentance from EITHER side my friend .
My advice , we bess get busy with a message of repentance .
Ninevah repented , ninvevah was spared .
the second time ninevah repented not , AND IT WERNT spared but destroyed .
The hope , the trust , MUST BE IN GOD and IN HIS CHRIST .
I see a lot of hope these days , but man is it in the wrong stuff my friend . Its bible time indeed
and its time to point to THAT GOD and HIS CHRIST and them lovely words of truth .

If this news is not a sign of the End Times, I am not sure what is.
It's not a sign of the end times. It's a sign of Mr Trump's behaviour.

Yep. Remember, this life is fleeting, but we must do what is right in this life for the betterment of God's Kingdom. Neither of the two candidates seem fit for that task. Anyways, it is getting late, so God bless, brother.
God , His kingdom is perfect already , it just seems most have forgotten His kingdom is not of this world .
What you mean to say is we need to preach the true gospel to the lost souls
and all biblical doctrine to build up the believers . cause i see a nightmare even within christendom itself .
You know what i see throughout history
any time the peoples got it into their head to tie church and state as one
Man did it not bode well at all who did not conform to their political religious ideology . blood came against those
who resisted the Kingdom of men which merged with this kingdom of GOD .
The problem is man . It will soon come again in its crusade form .
FOr now its still in the ecuminical phase , but it is fast turning the hearts of its followers
against the GOD , CHRIST of that bible and against the true saints .
SOON the ecumincal phase will transform into the great crusades and then many true saints will bleed again .
And they who round us up , they who deliver us over to authorities to be punsihed and killed
THEY WILL EVEN BELIEVE ITS THE WILL OF GOD . aint nothing new under the sun .
Only this time its gonna be A WHOLE WORLD to rise as one against the true lambs .
All religoins and all faiths WILL MERGE as one under what they all believe is LOVE and is of GOD and IT AINT AT ALL OF GOD or LOVE .

Donald Trump amplified a vulgar joke about Vice President Kamala Harris performing a sex act. He falsely accused her of staging a coup to secure the Democratic nomination and faulted her without evidence for a security lapse that enabled a rogue gunman to try to assassinate him. He shared a manipulated online image of Bill Gates in an orange jumpsuit and a call for Barack Obama to face a “military tribunal.” He promoted explicit tributes to the QAnon conspiracy theory. He hawked digital trading cards in an online infomercial along with pieces of his debate night suit. (“People are calling it the knockout suit.”) His campaign feuded publicly with Arlington National Cemetery over their visit.​
And that was just in the span of 24 hours......​
But when it comes to the former president, the burst of activity on Tuesday and Wednesday was a snapshot of the chaos that has defined his political career and in some ways marked a throwback to his first run in 2016, when he waged a frenetic, unpredictable campaign that put his party on edge all the way up until his surprise victory.​
Vulgar (actually obscene) jokes will not win over women. It shows how crude he can be. It shows there is no bottom to his lying and insults.
It does not befit a president.


*Remember folks, QANON cannot be promoted here.

JD Vance's take:

"...a political candidate who isn't stodgy and likes to have some fun...."
