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.

USAID is closed. Without funds, who will take their place?
But we should all rejoice that billionaires will buy more yachts. 100 dead babies can't compare to a rich man's pleasure.

We shouldn’t hope that new initiatives might actually bring about actual economic opportunities.

Another Urban myth -
Jimmy Carter was not forced to sell his peanut farm,
He sold his farm after not being re-elected because his personal financial management was not any better than his fiscal

Here’s a roundup of the peace agreements brokered by Donald Trump during his second term, based on recent reports:
️ Major Peace Agreements
️ In Progress or Anticipated
These agreements build on Trump’s first-term efforts like the Abraham Accords, and reflect a broader strategy of U.S.-led diplomacy focused on ending “endless wars” and promoting economic development through peace.
️ Major Peace Agreements
- Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda
- Signed in June 2025, this U.S.-brokered deal ended a 30-year conflict rooted in the aftermath of the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
- Key terms include:
- Withdrawal of Rwandan troops from eastern Congo within 90 days
- Disbanding of armed groups like M23 and FDLR
- Joint security coordination and refugee return plans
- Economic cooperation focused on critical minerals like cobalt and lithium
- India and Pakistan
- Trump helped de-escalate tensions following a terrorist attack in Kashmir.
- The agreement reportedly led to a ceasefire and improved diplomatic relations.
- Pakistan nominated Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize for his role
- Serbia and Kosovo
- A renewed peace deal aimed at normalizing relations and resolving long-standing territorial disputes
- Israel and Iran
- Trump’s administration reportedly facilitated a major peace agreement between these historically adversarial nations.
- Details remain limited, but it’s considered a landmark diplomatic achievement
️ In Progress or Anticipated
- Israel and Hamas (Gaza)
- Trump predicted a ceasefire “sometime next week” as of late June 2025
These agreements build on Trump’s first-term efforts like the Abraham Accords, and reflect a broader strategy of U.S.-led diplomacy focused on ending “endless wars” and promoting economic development through peace.

Trump's 'historic' peace deal for DR Congo shattered after rebels seize key city
The US ambassador to the UN has accused Rwanda of leading Africa's Great Lakes region toward war, just over a week after a peace deal was signed in Washington to end the decades-long conflict.[T]he M23 rebel group says it has "fully liberated" the key city of Uvira in an offensive the US and European powers say is backed by Rwanda. UN experts have previously accused it of having "de facto control" of the rebel force's operations.
The rebels were not signatories to Trump's deal - and have been taking part in a parallel peace process led by Qatar, a US ally.
The M23's new offensive in South Kivu started a few days before Kagame and Tshisekedi flew to Washington last week to ratify the agreement first hammered out in June.

He did however put it into a blind trust during his presidency - which turned out to be only semi-blind.
WaPo:The story of Jimmy Carter’s peanut farm is a bit more complicated than you may have heard
In the years before his presidential run in 1976, day-to-day operations at the warehouse were managed by his brother, Billy Carter. Billy Carter would end up being a perpetual thorn in President Jimmy Carter’s side, a tendency which began even before Carter took the oath of office. During those years before the presidential bid, for example, Billy Carter took out loans from the National Bank of Georgia to expand warehouse operations — at a time which overlapped with a peanut drought. Those loans ultimately totaled $6.5 million, about $31 million today.
...“According to the plan announced today,” the New York Times reported, “Mr. Carter will sell all his personal stock, divert the royalties from his autobiography, ‘Why Not the Best?’ into a foundation that will establish a future library to house Presidential papers, and transfer to the trust his interest in Carter’s Warehouse and Carter Farms Inc.”
“White House officials, arguing that the trust is ‘blind’ and that neither they nor Carter is informed its operations,” The Washington Post reported at the time, “said they could not explain the loss. However, White House Counsel Robert Lipshutz said it is probable that the loss involved transactions of the Carter family peanut warehouse business which represents a major share of the trust.”
In February 1979, Kirbo had put the warehouse business on the market.
...That October, the special counsel, Curran, cleared anyone of wrongdoing in the bank loans investigation.
“The special counsel said, ‘No evidence whatsoever was discovered that any monies were diverted from the warehouse into the campaign,' ” The Post reported. “As for whether any criminal charges were warranted, Curran said ‘the answer is also a clear no.’ ”
...In March 1981, the need for the semi-blind trust gone, the warehouse company was sold to an Illinois feed company for $1.2 million.
