  • 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.

Xi has to be laughing at Trump. The tariffs Trump has implemented are giving China a rare opportunity to fracture U.S. alliances, forge new economic partnerships with them, and expand its influence in regions where the U.S. once led. Trump clearly misunderstands both the global economy and international relations.

I assure you that additional 50% tariffs on a failing economy is not a laughing matter to Xi. More importantly Xi has built a strong relationship with the American left, particularly with California, and infiltrated our country (as has North Korea) because of Biden border policies. Trump is a major setback to his plans, both because immigration policies will eventually reveal many Chinese spies and instigators, and loss of control of important markets like the steel market will mean the United States can build ships and more within this country.
