  • 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 said during a Saturday morning press conference at Mar-a-Lago that the United States is "going to run" Venezuela in the wake of taking former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro into custody during an early-morning raid.

In what Trump called "one of the most stunning, effective days of American military might and competence in American history," the U.S. conducted a large-scale military strike in Caracas, resulting in the capture of Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, who are slated to face trial in New York on charges of drug trafficking and narco-terrorism conspiracies.

In an operation he likened to precision military actions that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2019, Iranian military officer Qasem Soleimani in 2020 and neutralized the Iranian nuclear program last summer, Trump praised the success of the raid, noting that "not a single American service member was killed, and not a single piece of American equipment was lost."
