  • 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.

Have you heard the news? The Trump coalition is breaking up. At least that is what the media is telling us. The New York Times, for instance, puts the breakup on podcasters fighting over the assassination of Charlie Kirk:

Kirk:

[Tucker Carlson’s] ongoing feud with fellow members of the Republican Party—and critics who have suggested he’s antisemitic—has been striking. This week it boiled over on one of the nation’s most popular podcasts, as a schism over the Charlie Kirk assassination continued to aggravate an already rattled Trumpworld coalition…​

Battle lines have also been deepening over the investigation of Mr. Kirk’s murder in September, which has been the subject of conspiracy theories, including those spread by Candace Owens, another prominent right-wing podcaster, who speculated about whether the shooter acted alone.

The Free Press, meanwhile, puts it on President Trump’s flip-flops over Jeffrey Epstein. Here’s the opener of their report on the ground in Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Georgia district:

RINGGOLD, Georgia—From behind the counter of a gas station, Lauren Epperson leaned over to tell me that she used to love President Donald Trump.
“Yep,” she said, smacking her lips. “Used to believe every word he said.”
Not anymore. The first nail in the coffin was Israel, which Epperson said she realized has been “blackmailing” the president and the entire federal government for decades. But the death knell was months of resistance by the president to releasing the federal government’s files on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“I don’t like him anymore,” said Epperson, 41 and the mother of two kids, while counting bills near the cash register. Trump is “a sellout—just like all the people I’ve loved and voted for. Oh, they got me good.”
Guess who’s not breaking up with MAGA? Catholics! According to a recent EWTN poll, an extraordinary 67 percent of Mass-attending Catholics view President Trump “very or somewhat favorably.”
