    Boston Globe ^ | August 16, 2017 | Meghan E. Irons
    No bats. No sticks. No backpacks. Those are on the list of “zero tolerance” rules that Commissioner William B. Evans and Mayor Martin J. Walsh told organizers of a controversial “free speech rally” scheduled to be held on Boston Common on Saturday. The Boston Free Speech Coalition, which also goes by the name New Free Speech Movement, will get a permit, but it will have major restrictions, the mayor said. Under the permit rules, the free speech rally will be limited to two hours, from noon to 2 p.m., and it must be peaceful, the mayor said. “No weapons, no...

    House Republicans launch a website blasting the media for focusing on “chaos,” rather than their accomplishments made during President Trump’s first 200 days in office. The website called “Did You Know” says the news has not been keeping Americans informed on all the legislation GOP lawmakers have passed in the House.

  • Americans Protest ‘Very Fake News’ CNN Outside of Atlanta Headquarters

    ATLANTA, Georgia — More than 150 protesters charged the CNN headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia to share their disgust with the network’s peddling of “fake news” against President Trump’s administration. With signs reading “FNN #FakeNewsNetwork” and others targeting the networks’ advertisers such as AT&T and Microsoft, protesters chanted “CNN fake news!” directly in front of the CNN Centers’ signature logo. Protesters told Breitbart News that the rally against CNN was an effort to call out the media corporation for its unbalanced coverage of the Trump administration and its targeting of Americans, most specifically the creator of the anti-CNN wrestling match meme...

    While organizing my basement a few weeks ago, I discovered an incredible trove of Sore Loserman bumper stickers, almost 200 of them, which are not doing any good at all in my basement. They are very much like the white version at the link. So starting now, for every $30 contributed to Free Republic, the contributor will qualify to have their very own piece of history mailed directly to their domicile. All you have to do is freepmail me your address and the link to where you brag about your new acquisition and associated contribution in the fundraiser thread. So...

    Media Equalizer ^ | Saturday, July 15, 2017 | Melanie Morgan
    Unlike some, at least we don’t use witchcraft to get our point across! In years past, the alt-Left has resorted to using spells, pointy hats and rituals as a protest tactic. On Saturday, July 22 at noon, a group of ordinary Americans will be flocking to Atlanta. With our placards, megaphones and passion for the truth, we’ll gather in front of CNN World Headquarters. We’ll promise to leave the eye-of-newt and toe-of-frog at home, however! StopTheScalpings and The Media Equality Project are joining with Mainstreet Patriots by hitting CNN in “their house”. Why are we taking this extraordinary step? Simply...

    York Daily Record ^ | 14 July A.D. 2017 | Abbey Zelko
    More than 1,200 bikers are expected to ride into the Glen Rock area on Wednesday to support a local resident’s daily playing of “Taps.” Riders, who hail from Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, plan to arrive at Freedom Armory in Springfield Township near Glen Rock around 7 p.m., just as July’s Glen Rock Borough Council meeting is getting started, organizer Ryan Walton said. “Taps” will once again be a topic of discussion at the meeting as the council considers the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania’s request to lift the borough’s restriction of the song. The ACLU threatened a federal...

    MOAR Of This Please They're calling it the MOAR, an acronym which stands for the "Mother of all Rallies.” Obviously a play-on-words to the MOAB (mother of all bombs) that was dropped by the US military on Islamic militants in Afghanistan in late April, the MOAR rally is being lauded as the greatest rendezvous for Trump supporters that we have seen yet. Created by internet personality "POA," the mother of all rallies will kick off on September 16th at 11am eastern time at the national mall in Washington DC. Just about every political e-cleb, internet and tv personality is expected...

    HOUSTON, Texas — Hundreds of Texans, many of them armed, gathered in Houston’s Herman Park to protect a statue of former Texas President Sam Houston. Supporters of the statue responded to what they believed to be a threat from Antifa to remove it from the park like other historic monuments removed in recent months. The rally, dubbed #StandWithSam drew hundreds of supporters to the park located near the Texas Medical Center and Rice University to gather around a statue of Sam Houston. Houston led the Texas revolutionary army against Mexico and served as president of the Republic of Texas, governor...

    The Washington Times ^ | Friday June 2, 2017 | S.A. Miller
    President Trump’s supporters plan to hold a “Pittsburgh Not Paris” rally Saturday in front of the White House to demonstrate support for his decision to pull out of the Paris climate change agreement, countering expected protests by Democrats and liberal activists. The rally, named after Mr. Trump’s remark about representing “citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris” when announcing he was ripping up the Obama-era agreement, was organized by the Republican Party of Fairfax Country, Virginia, in the D.C. suburbs. The Trump campaign urged the president’s supporters in the area to attend the event Saturday from 10 a.m. until noon across from...

    A Freep needed – I have the D.C. Switchboard on my phone. For YEARS I have called and a volunteer will answer and ask me who I want to be connected to. I do not only call my U.S. Representative or Senator, I call them all. I just called to speak to Nancy Pelosi who came to Texas and called us cowards for obeying the rule of law (on illegals and Sanctuary cities). Well, now the switchboard automated asks press 1 for Senator and 2 for Representative. If you press 2 for Representative then you must enter your zip code...

  • Keep Free Republic up and running (Vanity)

    05/19/2017 7:46:49 AM PDT · by cpdiii · 25 replies
    While Free Republic was down I read some snarky remarks about Free Republic and Jim Rob on Facebook. Free Republic is supported 100% by our donations. The reason we do not have the best and top of the line servers and backup servers is money. If Jim Rob were to make this a commercial site he would retire an extremely rich man. If it was a commercial site it would be like Breitbart. On Breitbart you wade through tons of ads and popups! Hundred of thousands of people visit Free Republic. If just a small percentage became monthly donors there...
