  • 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.

Next up: Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Jacuzzi​

Donald Trump Reveals New DC National Mall Project to Fix ‘Biden Filth’​

In a post to Truth Social accompanied by a video, the president posted, "This is the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool before Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and I fix it. Study it hard because you won’t be seeing this Biden filth and incompetence much longer!"

I wasn't far wrong. It may not be a jacuzzi, but Trump is going to cover the granite bottom with swimming pool surfacing.

Trump says ‘filthy’ Lincoln Memorial pool will be made ‘American flag blue’​

The president revealed that there were plans to remove the granite lining of the pool and replace it with stone elements, but that the project would have taken three years and cost US$300 million.

Instead, Trump said he is speaking with private contractors, whom he had hired in the past to build swimming pools, to clean the stone, and add a topping that would make the surface “American flag blue.”

“It took about two weeks, and now we have a nice, clean surface on which we’re putting an industrial-grade swimming pool topping,” he continued.

The 2,000-foot-long structure is currently empty as it undergoes cleaning for the America 250 celebrations.

Trump admin just handed ballroom firm another secret $17 million no-bid contract​

In a “highly unusual” move, the contractor behind the construction of President Donald Trump’s ballroom got a monetary boost from the National Park Service.

The New York Times reports that Maryland-based Clark Construction not only nabbed a secret no-bid contract for a nearby job, but the National Park Service under Trump inflated the value of the contract several times over before awarding it to them. The additional work involves construction at the site of two ornamental fountains in Lafayette Park near the White House in Washington, DC.

“The National Park Service wanted to repair two ornamental fountains in Lafayette Park, across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House,” reports the Times. “The Biden administration in 2022 had estimated the work would cost $3.3 million. But Mr. Trump’s government agreed to pay Clark $11.9 million to do it, and later added tasks that increased the contract to $17.4 million, the documents show.”

To be fair, We The People funded it. At 500% of the cost.

"President Donald Trump, a longtime developer, is overseeing the construction of a $200 million, 90,000-square-foot ballroom that will remake the East Wing of the White House, effecting one of the biggest changes to “the People’s House” in a century."

The project will be funded by MAGA donors and is planned to start in the Fall.

“They’ve wanted a ballroom at the White House for more than 150 years, but there’s never been a president that was good at ballrooms — really good, in fact,” Trump said at a news conference Thursday, adding: “When they have big events — you entertain the president of China, the president of any place — and you have big crowds, they’ve always had a tent.”

Well, there are unspecified 'added tasks', so maybe it now has a top secret bunker under it.

Some people just can't appreciate the beauty of European opulence and decadence from their royal families.
