Woo hoo!! Great job all you Irredeemable Deplorable Patriots!! We did it!! [FReepathon XLII]

Now he's got to put his government together and start laying out his battle plan to drain the swamp and begin making America great again!!

Praying he stays true to the mission he was elected to accomplish and does not fall victim to the DC Swamp disease. As a complete outsider, he's like Mr. Smith going to Washington (fresh meat, boys) and the conniving old sharks are all circling about trying to drag him under. Don't listen to the establishment, Mr. President, who will be clamoring to "help" you fill the top slots with "experienced" people. Bring in fresh blood!!

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We must not allow the flame of freedom to be extinguished on our watch!! We must remain ever vigilant!!

And it's now more important than ever that we keep our internet communications channel well funded and in fighting trim!!

FR is funded solely by contributions made by the liberty loving patriots who love and use it.

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!!

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!!

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. And 42 new monthly donors have signed up so far this quarter.

Or send in a hundred dollars or more per quarter and join I_be_tc's growing list of 300 Club patriots. I_be_tc sends in $100 per quarter and challenges 300 others to do the same. If we could get 300 FReepers to send in $100 per quarter, these FReepathons would complete much faster. And we have received 195 donations of $100 or more so far this quarter.

Thank you very much, MEG33!!

Woo hoo!!

And this just in:

$365.25 from Michigan
$40.00 from Alabama
$75.00 from South Carolina
$10.00 from West Virginia
$20.00 from California

Thank you all very much!!

Woo hoo!! And we’re now over 90%!! less than $8.5k to go!! Let’s go for the GREEN!!

FReepers are the absolute greatest!!

God bless.

Veterans Day is an important day for showing appreciation to members of our military, past and present. If you're looking for an appropriate way to honor a veteran in your life, or would like to contribute in a way that's meaningful for veterans everywhere, here's a list of suggestions to start you off.

1. Show Up

Attend a Veterans Day event in your area -- not just a picnic with friends but an honest-to-goodness parade or service for veterans. Roy Rogers said, "We can't all be heroes; someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by." Veterans Day is a great opportunity to do just that.

2. Donate

There are a plethora of wonderful organizations who offer all manner of support, services and appreciation for our service members. To get a few ideas for donations, you can check out this page:

3. Fly a flag - correctly Veterans Day is a great opportunity to fly the flag! Just make sure you're observing the proper rules for display. Not sure exactly what those are? Check out Military.com's guide to the flag:
http://www.military.com/flag-day/us-flag-code.html

4. Ask someone about their service

It seems like we all know someone who has served and Veterans Day is a great time to ask them about their service. Some questions to get started are: What did you do in the military? How long did you serve? What was your favorite moment in all your time in the service? Did anyone else in your family serve? Why did you choose to go into the service branch you did? Do not ask if they've killed anyone and should your veteran be a combat vet who is either unwilling to share or plainly states what they went through, be supportive without being intrusive. Sometimes you don't have to say anything, just listen and give them your full attention.

5. Write

If you know a veteran, write a simple postcard or e-card that recognizes them on Veterans Day. If you don't know a veteran, look up the closest military installation and send one there. Small acts of recognizing someone's service, even anonymously, are appreciated.

6. Don't Confuse Veterans Day with Memorial Day

Veterans Day is a time to thank those who are serving or have served and are still with us. Memorial Day is to reflect and remember those who lost their lives in service to their country. Confusing the two or combining the two diminishes the importance of both.

7. Visit a VA Hospital

Find out what the policies are at your nearest VA hospital for interacting with patients or volunteering, and spend the day with a veteran. Many VA facilities will have events on Veterans Day or a special lunch you can help prepare. Even if you never interact with a veteran, helping at a facility is a way to give back.

8. Get Outdoors with a Veteran

Invite a veteran or a military family to explore a national park -- admission is free for all visitors on Veterans Day. Being outside helps improve physical and mental health, boosts emotional well-being, and is a great way to celebrate the day with a veteran.

Trump is a complete political outsider and with all of his business acumen and success I really think he will not waiver. He is not in this for riches, power, or fame as he has all that and the power he has did not go to his head and make him lust for more.

He is a patriot who loves the USA and wants to return it to our core Constitutional foundations.

Last year in the summer I thought I was a Cruz supporter (I did not dislike Trump but thought Cruz was really for the Constitution) but when September hit and Cruz voted for TPP and then gave a smarmy speech how we just did not understand the intricacies of how great it was I looked at Trump and realized he was what so many people of the US wanted: A non-politician who could clean house and do things around the grinding political machine. He will do some great things but, being human, will falter now and then. Only God is perfect.

On another note, I started FR in 2007 after lurking for a year or so but at that time the Bush II administration had nearly destroyed my business and then Obama totaled it. Even then I started giving $10 per month and after some of Obama’s policies made me sell my business, with a another decrease in income I still raised my donation to $15. If things work out as they probably will I will be able to increase my donation to at least $20 per month (I’ll try for more if I can).

Jim. Do not let FR slip away! This site is too important for not just the folks who come here every day but for our Country.
