  • 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.

Musk wrote on X Saturday that DOGE and the Treasury Department have agreed to take the following steps:
  • All outgoing payments must have a categorization code in order to be paid. That’s supposed to already happen, but Musk has found the code is often left blank, making audits nearly impossible.
  • All payments must have an explanation attached — another procedure that has been routinely ignored, making it hard to determine what or who federal payments are actually for.
  • Every payment must be checked against an up-to-date “Do Not Pay” list of known frauds, terrorist groups, deceased people and expenditures that do not match congressional appropriations

It's taxpayer money. Democrats should not be fighting this.
