  • 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.

President Donald Trump has threatened New York City with a loss in federal funds if self-proclaimed democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor of the nation’s largest city.

In a statement posted to Truth Social Monday, Trump described Mamdani as a “Communist” and warned that if elected, the mayoral candidate “is going to have problems with Washington like no Mayor in the history of our once great City.” He stressed that “he needs the money from me, as President, in order to fulfill all of his FAKE communist promises.”

“He won’t be getting any of it, so what’s the point of voting for him?” Trump asked, indicating that he plans to withhold federal funding from the city if Mamdani wins the election. “This ideology has failed, always, for thousands of years. It will fail again, and that’s guaranteed!”

It's a hollow threat. Trump and his oligarch buddies believe in defunding everyone that isn't immediately useful to them, which means there's little incentive to submit to his threats.
