  • 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.

Like a well-oiled machine, Trump Administration quickly reverses $2 billion in mental health and substance abuse cuts 1 day after announcing them

I thought the administration was trying to keep our country safe from narcoterrorism because we have a substance abuse problem in our country. I thought school shootings were going to be solved by addressing mental health. This administration is so confusing. It's like they don't know what they are doing. But I guess they reinstated the funding because they really do care. Our prayers have been answered once again by Trump. We are so blessed.

The Department of Health and Human Services is reinstating $2 billion in funds to address substance abuse and mental health after the department said it would cancel funds the day before, an administration official confirmed to NBC News.

The reinstatement came Wednesday after groups were informed Tuesday of the funding cuts, which were associated with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

As Voltaire remarked, “Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

No, the administration it trying to keep us safe from fentanyl by going after a country that mostly produces cocaine.

In one more example of Trump's mind being stuck in the 80's, he's apparently still trying to fight the crack epidemic.
