  • 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.

This issue is too important for Trump's Executive Order alone. Congress must act

One of the most significant takeaways from the 2024 election was not tied to a single candidate or ballot measure — it was the overwhelming rejection of radical gender ideology.

Since taking office, President Trump has followed through on his commitments to remove this pervasive and damaging ideology from federal policies by signing a host of executive orders undoing the extremist gender policies implemented under the Biden administration.

By contrast, on his first day in office in 2021, former President Biden signed an executive order conflating the definition of “sex” in federal law with “sexual orientation and gender identity.” This order spawned a flurry of agency rules that undermined biblical truth and biological reality. These rules amended Title IX discrimination protections for women, attempted to permit biological men to compete in women’s sports, and mandated taxpayer-funded healthcare coverage of “gender-affirming care.”

On his first day of office earlier this year, President Trump signed an executive order rescinding the Biden order that had launched this assault on people of faith, women, children, and biological reality. After enduring four years of the Biden administration’s progressive agenda pushing for abortion on demand and radical gender ideology, a change in the executive branch's policies are a welcome reprieve from the madness.

Continued below.

They should do some sort of "lessons learned in the worst cases" for the Biden regime similar to the way we have abhor the politics in the South that gave rise to slavery. We should have some smoldering-wreck monument that lists the horrific ideas dumped on the American public during those years. Something researched and then never to be repeated. Do it now while the American left-wing press is still inclined to blame the previous administration for what they did.

Personally, I think most of the executive orders should be backed up by legislation. Problem is, the Republican Congress is slow as molasses and rather cowardly, so I don't know how likely that is to happen. Generally speaking, I think the presidency has gained too much power over the past decades, and that has nothing specifically due to Trump. Not saying he wasn't involved, but it wasn't just him. Each president seems to find a way to obtain more power for the office.

I believe in the powers that president has. The president is the leader of the freest nation on the planet. Congress has the lowest approval rating ever. The president is also the Commander in Chief and is responsible for the safety of the nation. Congress on either side are just power hungry and trying to see how long they can hang on.
