  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

America is becoming a hole.

How can ANYONE argue it's appropriate to target certain states with this? He withholds emergency funds for events in Democrat states; now this?


Talk about low quality citizens.

The source is the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families
I was distracted and thought you said something about journalists, but that was some other post.

Looking through today's headlines under 'Minnesota daycare fraud', I'm not seeing anything that seems to back up the claims of that public radio article from Jan 4th.

There's a lot of news about Tim Walz dropping out due to the situation, but nothing about the whole Minnesota daycare scandal being a hoax.

The question was not whether it was a hoax, but whether a reliable source has substantiated "massive fraud in childcare". As opposed to an allegation from a viral video.

Honestly, it's too late to convince "Republicans" that the massive fraud may not have happenned as they believed it did. Once it gets into their social media, they're bombarded with it.

When I created a new facebook account a couple months ago, they noted my white, married, hetero, christian self, was back. And I have been getting 80% exclusive right wing, proud boys type nonsense. Honestly, all I can think is that Facebook has poisoned the minds of Christians. Especially thsoe who would respond to their minister as per my signature.

If it's true, then it doesn't matter who blew the whistle. If it was all staged, then it's a hoax.
What does this have to do with political persecution in the United States?

Might be?

Can't we have an investigation first and then a punishment second?
Are Learning Centers in Texas and Florida immune to fraud?
Trump doesn't like blue state. That's why he's doing this.

Federal judge blocks Trump administration’s freeze of $10 billion in child-care funds

In a brief ruling, Judge Arun Subramanian said that “good cause has been shown for the issuance of a temporary restraining order.”

On Thursday the states sued the administration in federal court in Manhattan. The states sought a temporary restraining order, asking the court to block the funding freeze and the administration’s demands for large volumes of administrative data.

An attorney for the states argued Friday morning that there was an immediate need for funding — and that withholding it would cause chaos by depriving families of their ability to pay for child care, and would harm child-care providers who would lose income.
