• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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

Hopefully the trade deal Trump cut with Argentinian beef producers Friday lowers the price of beef in the store. We have to be able to feed our country after what Biden did to it.

Beef is more expensive now, yes.
(I was in Costco and silently told my (woulda been 111 years-old) dad, “Look, Pap, I’ve spent over $80 for three steaks!”)
With all the “data advantages” that ranchers have access to, the market will be more controlled (longer), until enough people are sick of the cartels (that will obviously pop up in the cattle market) and oversupply the public who will have been turned off by beef for “too long”. Give it…eight years, at the outside.

Payrolls rose by a total of 584,000 in 2025, the Labor Department said, compared to the 2 million jobs added in 2024.

"The pace of job creation in the first year of Trump's second term has fallen more than two-thirds from what it was in the final year under President Joe Biden, to an estimated 49,000 per month in 2025 versus 168,000 per month the prior year."

Given that this was a FOX NEWS POLL, the numbers are probably on the high side when compared to other polls!

The nation would be much better served if Trump was removed from the White House and forced to spend the next 3 years golfing full time - never to return!

Its oblivious that President Trump refuses to accept the fact that almost everything he touches has turned into a total disaster!

Noted. Trump’s going to stay in the Office even if it (ends up) killing him.
The Nation will have him at the helm of the ship-of-state for three (ish) more years, if it doesn’t.

We will be okay, we can survive this little spat.

Once the Baby-Boomers are off of the scene, things will settle down.

He obviously sees things differently and he’s the one who makes the decisions, so, of course, they’re going to “turn out good”.
That’s the “default”.
