Woo hoo!! Our 2nd quarter FReepathon is now underway!!
Drain the swamp and Make America Great Again!!
Prayers up for continuing progress and success.
FR is funded solely by contributions made by the liberty loving patriots who love and use it.
We are beholden to no political party.
No advertisers, no outsiders, no sugar daddies, no corporate string pullers.
Definitely no government subsidies or tax breaks. No 501c or other IRS non-profit status.
This means no commercial ads. No annoying pop-ups. No ad tracking. No mail campaigns. No spam. No third-parties -- not even the IRS -- trying to control what we do or say.
We are self-funded, fiercely independent and enjoy our freedom to speak plainly in the support of God, family, country, liberty!!
But we cannot exist without you.
Every donation counts no matter how big or small. If you can donate $5, $10, $20, $100 or more, it would be greatly appreciated.
Your loyal support makes Free Republic possible and your continuing participation makes FR the number one pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-defense, pro-America conservative forum on the Net!!
And we're going to need FR now more than ever to combat the current crop of Marxists and progressives who have infested our government and public institutions and who are dead set on destroying the final remnants of our cherished constitution and our precious God-given liberty!!
Please click the secure server link above or donate by mail to:
Free Republic - PO Box 9771 - Fresno, CA 93794
Make it a Monthly if you can. We have some very generous FReeper sponsors kicking in an extra ten bucks for every New Monthly signed up.
Thank you all very much!!
God bless.
Thank you very much, Delta 21!!
Fake it is. Or misleading anyway. Our industry standard SHA-1 security certificate is paid-up, enforce and still valid and our secure server is still encrypting our donations just as securely as it always has for the last 15 or so years that we’ve been running it. Google, and now Firefox following their lead, has decided to deprecate their support for SHA-1 in favor of SHA-2 encryption. Apparently, they employed some supercomputers and after two years and millions and millions of attempts, managed to force through a suspicious encryption.

But, other than that, our SHA-1 server is still valid and still secure.
That said, John will be upgrading to the new SHA-2 method, but there are some tricky systems level issues that he has to work it first. He was hoping to get it done before the 1st, but didn’t make it. Hopefully i’ll be done soon.
In the meantime, you can click on the “ADVANCED” link at the bottom of Google’s erroneous, misleading “not secure” message and continue to our secure server anyway, if you wish. Or if you’re on Windows 10, try opening our secure server donate link with the default Windows 10 browser, Edge, which still works perfectly fine without the erroneous message.
Thank you very much, MEG33!!
My pleasure, Jim.
My Quarterly/300 Club donation on the way Monday morning. God bless FR!!!

Thank you very much, Magic Fingers!! It appears to be some deep down operating systems conflicts, not hardware. John has had it working a bit better recently, but it comes and goes. Hopefully, he gets it all resolved soon.
