  • 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

Justice Department's antitrust chief says she's leaving, effective immediately

Gail Slater is stepping down at a critical moment for corporate mergers in America.
"We have here the problem of bigness. Its lesson should by now have been burned into our memory by Brandeis. The Curse of Bigness shows how size can become a menace--both industrial and social. It can be an industrial menace because it creates gross inequalities against existing or putative competitors. It can be a social menace...In final analysis, size in steel is the measure of the power of a handful of men over our economy...The philosophy of the Sherman Act is that it should not exist...Industrial power should be decentralized. It should be scattered into many hands so that the fortunes of the people will not be dependent on the whim or caprice, the political prejudices, the emotional stability of a few self-appointed men...That is the philosophy and the command of the Sherman Act. It is founded on a theory of hostility to the concentration in private hands of power so great that only a government of the people should have it." Dissenting opinion of Justice Douglas in United States v. Columbia Steel Co.

Justice Douglas has to be rolling over in his grave seeing what's happening today.

What would surprise me is that he hasn't pocketed money. If the report is true it is no surprise.

Trump is about money and what better way than to have access to the US department of Treasury and his man in place. Paying out less buy closing federal agencies that help people, Federal funding to countries in need, and bringing in billions from tariffs and now Venezuelan oil since the overthrow.

Venezuela oil money won't go to Qatar anymore, Energy Secretary says Venezuela oil sales top $1 billion, funds won’t go to Qatar account anymore, Energy secretary says

Then there is what he may receive from foreign governments, like the new Air Force One jet, or his assets.
