  • 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.

'Group of Republican senators' corners USDA chief over growing frustration with Trump policy

According to a letter sent to [Ag Sec] Rollins and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, U.S. Reps. Jason Smith (R-Mo.), Adrian Smith (R-Neb.), Greg Steube (R-Fla.) and 11 other House Republicans are warning Trump against moving forward with an import plan for Argentina beef after that nation’s Trump-like leader, President Javier Milei, won re-election. Trump officials claim the plan will lower steak and hamburger prices for American consumers, but growing Republican critics say it will also undercut U.S. producers’ sale prices at the market.

“We believe strongly that the path to lower prices and stronger competition lies in continued investment at home … rather than policies that advantage foreign competitors,” they wrote.

How generous.

"Bloomberg reported yesterday that Argentina’s leader Javier Milei appears to have received more financial support from the U.S. government than the $20 billion more widely reported. The U.S. withdrew $870 million from its account at the International Monetary Fund shortly before a similar sum appeared in Argentina’s IMF fund just in time for that country to pay an $840 million debt."

If Argentina fails then it opens up another failed commie socialist country close to our southern border. Possibly headed by an atheist Islamic fascist terrorist.
