I had an opinion piece published in our local weekly newspaper yesterday. But I forgot that unlike the Gannett newsrag that published me this Sunday, the small town paper prints the street of the contributor. Now I'll have to look out for firebombings, vandalism and other attacks if liberals read it.
Make sure the date and time are set correctly on your computer.
If that doesn’t help maybe try running a scan with free Malwarebytes..

I also have the NOT SECURE in red. It has been up there for a while.
I’m on firefox and I don’t get any such message.
“This is not and likely won’t be limited to Verizon or Firefox. The challenge is that the Internet has gone to secured SSL websites (HTTPS) and Free Republic is unsecured (HTTP). It is increasingly required that website are secured over the past several years and now browsers, not Verizon, are enforcing this.”
really?
the very page you posted that on says:
https://www.freerepublic.com/perl/post?id=3855222%2C7
HTTPS ...
“Why isn’t freerepublic running https?”
sigh. it is. just look at the https:// on this page ...
My old password for FR was stolen or leeched who knows when. For the past few months I’ve been getting extortion emails regarding my old FR password.
In the address bar of the Firefox browser I am using the FR address is secure (https).
You have to actively choose HTTP or HTTPS as the FreeRepublic website is not yet configured to automatically resolve both choices to HTTPS. Yes, I use HTTP but if you haven’t actively chosen that, you may be using an old URL link or bookmark that uses HTTP. Once FreeRepublic’s configuration is updated to automatically resolve or redirect to HTTPS then it won’t be an issue for anyone.
I haven’t had any problem.
LOL. Did anyone at Verizon solve your problem?
sigh - type http://www.freerepublic.com, which is my bookmark from ages ago.
Watch it work fine and not go to autosecure status.
Freerepublic is a not secure site in a world where virtually all sites are secure. That’s all this is about.
Shhoooooot. One problem with web sites is server certificates going out of date. I have personally had no problems, but I use Comcast.
WTH? Is that like a electronic circuit check (dimly remember my physics courses).
If you donate to FR always use the PayPal option just in case!!!
I have received this before. It seems there at least two avenues to FR. One is secure, and I am on that now, and one isn’t. If it happens to you just do a search for Free Republic and use the secure path.
I have Windows 10, Edge Browser, and McAfee - I can't recall which one put up the warnings.
This is a good reminder that the Radical Left can completely isolate Conservatives by flipping a few switches.
The Republican Party is completely useless.
Even worse, Trump has lost energy and lost passion in the last few months.
If that is a political strategy, it is a catastrophic strategy.
The age factor cannot be ignored. Trump will be 74 years old tomorrow.
I watched Trump walk into West Point this morning. To my eye, he looked like an overweight old man.
I am just a couple years younger than Trump. I enjoy excellent health, and I maintain a high level of fitness.
But - birthdays and Mother Nature ALWAYS win the final argument!
Isn't PayPal on our $hitlist because of some refusal to work with firearms dealers or some other such leftist nonsense?
Use Chrome — it’s a freely contributed software with no strings attached. Also, Edge is now based on the Chrome engine.
Mozilla lashed out at Brendan Eich and forced him out of his CEO position because he voted for a pro-family referendum.
>> Isn’t PayPal on our $hitlist
Who isn’t on the $hitlist? /s
