Free Republic

OK, so I may have used Twitter some 5 times in the last 10 years or so since I first joined. If anything is worth reading or posting - this is what Free Republic is for. So anyway I go to X.com to see for reference a tweet I posted in 2020. X says I have no posts. AND it says I joined in July 2023. Google tells me that is when Twitter became X. So did X wipe out all my previous Twitter posts? Has this happened to anyone else? Not gonna lose any sleep over this, but just...

Korbein Schultz, a U.S. Army soldier and intelligence analyst, pleaded guilty today to all charges against him in the indictment returned by a federal grand jury in March 2024 charging him with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information, exporting technical data related to defense articles without a license, conspiracy to export defense articles without a license, and bribery of a public official. “The defendant abused his access to restricted government systems to sell sensitive military information to a person he knew to be a foreign national,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National...

FReeper RedRyder_90 had an idea for a book club style thread on FR after we listened to several of the David Suchet Bible readings. I think it's a great idea. If no one else is interested, she and I will share our comments.I understand that threads discussion religion, or in this case, the version of the Bible read (NIV), can become wild west style bar brawls.So I would preface my comments by suggesting that the thread be a religion thread in which brawls have to be taken outside it.I see James Earl Jones reads the KJV - perhaps that could...

I was catching up with my uncle recently, and he dropped a story that had me questioning everything. It was so wild, I thought he was pulling my leg. When he kept insisting it was true, I even wondered if Uncle Toby had a touch of dementia. But nope, Uncle Toby’s sharp as ever, and his story was 100 percent real. So, what had me so floored? We were talking about schools and sports, and Uncle Toby casually mentioned that when he was in high school back in the 1950s, all the boys had to swim nude. Uh, excuse me,...

More sickos are publicly pleasuring and exposing themselves on the streets of the Big Apple, crime statistics show — a nauseating development critics have chalked up to lax laws and a broken mental health system. Reports of pervs fondling themselves out in the open soared 51% through June 30, up to 378 complaints from 251 during the same period in 2023, according to NYPD data. Meanwhile cops issued 159 criminal summonses through June 30 citywide to New Yorkers whipping out their genitals — sometimes to urinate — a staggering 396% increase from the 32 tickets written in 2023, according to...

A Queens man who traipsed the hallways of his Astoria building naked, masturbated in common areas and screamed threats through a megaphone, has finally been booted — to the relief of his frazzled neighbors. City Marshal Edward Guida, Jr., arrived just after 10 a.m. Friday, and headed to the sixth floor of 23-34 Broadway to evict Alexandre Lais, who hasn’t paid rent in over two years. Last month, The Post exposed his lewd and bizarre antics, which tenants said gave some of the kids in the building nightmares. “I am relieved, but I won’t be all the way there until...

Below, I have posted my comments, FReeper threads and comments, followed by the three X.com posts in Biden's account used to withdraw him from the 2024 election.On Free Republic, there are posts and threads asking questions like, "Where's Joe Biden?" and "Who on Earth is running the country?" A Freeper commented that Biden's schedule is blank and he hasn't been seen for 5 days. If Biden is not running the country, then who is in charge of this coup d' etat?The Washington Post published an extremely biased assessment of the fighting in Israeli, noting that Netanyahu is traveling to Washington...

Conservatism is all about preserving traditions and resisting sudden change. Yet several high-profile right-wing figures sported radically different looks at this year's Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Kimberly Guilfoyle, Donald Trump Jnr's fiancee, was hit with plastic surgery allegations after looking unrecognizable from her days as a liberal when she was married to democratic Governor Gavin Newsom. Firebrand Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz was also accused of getting Botox and other cosmetic adjustments after sporting a radical facial transformation. One of Gaetz's rival Republicans likened him to a 'blow up doll.' And Donald Trump himself is also rumored to have had...

A conspiracy theory has run unabated in Democratic circles following the assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump on Saturday. It posits that Trump staged the shooting for a photo op, that the wound on his ear was caused by something other than an assassin's bullet, and that he was never in mortal danger. It's a baseless conspiracy theory disproven by reams of documentary evidence and eyewitness accounts. And it's a belief held by one-third of the Democratic electorate. One in three registered Democrats believe it is "credible" that the shooting Saturday in Butler, Pa., was staged and not intended...

One in Three Biden Supporters Think Trump Shooting Might Have Been StagedAnew poll has laid bare how many voters believe the conspiracy theories swirling around the attempted assignation of Donald Trump over the weekend. One third of those who support Trump's Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden said they believe the attack may have been staged and had never been intended to kill the former president. That equates to a little over 33 percent. And even some of Trump's own supporters believe the same thing, with around 12 percent suspecting the event was planned, according to the poll conducted by Morning...

Trump knows that Barron has a strange hold on the affections of many of his most hardened supporters. And if there's anything more outlandish than the personality cult that surrounds him, it's the one that is rapidly developing around his youngest child. ... These cherry-picked details helped spawn a bizarre theory – eagerly taken up by pro-Trump tin-foil hatters - that Donald and Barron are time-travellers and that Barron will one day become an all-conquering 'American Caesar'.

Im not enjoying the free republic lime I used to. Too many newbies that are trolls, looking for someone to drag into their abyss of self hatred. Theres been a lot of posts linked to posters with no bios, I think admin needs to limit the number of posts or remove those without any bio info.

@RobertKennedyJr President Trump, Junior here, we disagree on many issues, but I want you to know how much I admire your hard-headed courage for sticking to your guns on your Covid vax, despite all the evidence.

DONGYANG, China (Reuters) - It's the end of a school day in the eastern Chinese city of Dongyang, and eager parents collect their children after a hectic day of primary school. But that's just the start of busy times for dozens of egg vendors across the city, deep in coastal Zhejiang province, who ready themselves to cook up a unique springtime snack favored by local residents. Basins and buckets of boys' urine are collected from primary school toilets. It is the key ingredient in "virgin boy eggs", a local tradition of soaking and cooking eggs in the urine of young...

When I saw this, I literally couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I mean, homosexuals have always argued that homosexuality is normal and natural because, well, there are animals that do it. But I always thought the argument was so dumb that no serious person would ever give it a second thought. And it really is that dumb. I mean, dumb to the point of complete and total absurdity. In fact, the Bible has a phrase for such stupidity: “Claiming to be wise, they became fools…” (Romans 1:22). But it absolutely blows my mind that these people want to broadcast...

A woman who claims to be a diagnosed psychopath has shared what her internal monologue is like, and how she envisions memories and future events in her mind. 'I close my eyes and I see black,' the TikToker, who goes by the name of victhepath, said, revealing the inky darkness of her purely abstract thoughts. 'It's so hard for me to describe because it's just conceptual,' she continued. 'I can envision things, but I can't actually see the things I'm envisioning.' When it comes to her own 'internal monologue,' as she also told her followers, it's also stripped of vivid...

My comments below pertain to the war in the Ukraine and an article I just posted to Free Republic:What Is in the Ukraine Aid Package, and What Does it Mean for the Future of the War? csis.org ^ | May 1, 2024 | Mark F.
