  • 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.

Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, is terminating its lease agreement with the Department of Homeland Security, which had been renting office space used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from the county, an official said Tuesday.
Lehigh County Executive Josh Siegel said he was terminating the agreement and DHS "should consider themselves evicted" in an announcement Tuesday afternoon.
"The department's failure to pay rent, combined with DHS's national reputation for recklessness, chaos, and public disorder, warrants ending any relationship with the County. We will not accept their blood money," Siegel said in a statement.
The county "will take all necessary steps to enforce the lease termination and protect the interests of Lehigh County residents," the statement said.
Even after exploding ICE's budget Trump's penchant for not paying his bills rears its ugly head.
