Jim Robinson, the visionary founder of Free Republic and one of the internet’s earliest conservative pioneers, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 27, 2025, in Fresno, California. He was 79.
Longtime readers of this website may remember our frequent posting of Free Republic articles on The Gateway Pundit.
The online community at Free Republic was one of the most devoted and energized conservative grassroots organizations in the country.
----
All of us here at The Gateway Pundit would like to thank Jim and his family for their dedication to the truth and their support for our great nation.
Rest in peace, Jim Robinson.
Jim Hoft and the Gateway Pundit staff

Good catch.
I’ve updated the original article, replacing “was” with “is.” I also hyperlinked Free Republic to this website.
I knew it was coming but that doesn’t help much.
Just as with Rush.
Jim truly had a positive impact on our Constitutional Republic.
He was a humble hero and very much a gentleman.
“”””Great article—thanks for posting.
I hope we see many more like it.””””
If someone knows how to contact Jim Hoft and to ask Jim Hoft to contact Steve Bannon, that would be good.
Also, contacting TPUSA would be good.
Same here!
True.
I work with TGP.
Were you wanting Jim Hoft to ask Steve Bannon and TPUSA to also share the sad news of Jim Robinson’s passing?
It’s very nice to see TGP publish this tribute.
This website/forum has been a tremendous source of enlightenment for me personally.
RIP Jim, and much love and appreciation.
Rest in peace
I know that Jim Hoft is a regular guest on Bannon’s War Room, so he would be a good choice to tell Steve about Jim’s passing.
R.I.P. Jim Robinson, pioneer!
Oh no! Very sad. RIP brother Jim.
Thanks for your service Jim Robinson. Thanks for the memories.
RIP Jim; and may your memory and life’s work here at FR bring comfort to your friends and family.
Thank you for the legacy you have left for all here with this platform.
Way back when I first visited FR, 2007?, Jim e-mailed me.
Nice man and a patriot.
Rest in peace, and condolences to the family.
RIP Jim.
