On behalf of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, we are very saddened to announce the passing of the Center’s founder, David Horowitz. After a lengthy battle with cancer, David passed yesterday at the age of 86. The Freedom Center’s founder and guiding force was a relentless conservative warrior who survived a previous brush with death (chronicled in his book Mortality and Faith), confrontations with the Black Panthers, campus radicals, government investigations, death threats, and hate campaigns, some led by his former friends and allies, without ever considering giving up or letting up. Nothing short of the end that comes for...

Radio host Jim Quinn passed today. I loved his show. Been listening to him for over 30 years. For me, it's like when we lost Rush.

Just saw this post on his Facebook page, written by his wife and guardian angel, Mrs Mayor. I’m broken.....💔 We all are. >>>>>He fought the good fight, and he fought the good fight of faith. Rest in peace Rus Thompson, together forever with our Lord.<<<<<

I don’t know the mayor personally but Jim has told me about him and as a student of the Bible, I appreciate his daily scriptural post. I Understand he’s in the hospital and could use our prayers, Thank you , God bless you and have a blessed day ❤️🙏

Six years ago, FReeper “dainbramaged” (a guy I eventually knew In Real Life named “Rich”, last name withheld for his family’s anonymity) and I were FReepmailing about firearms. He mentioned he had a Winchester Model 94 in .30-30 that his Great Grandfather had bought new in 1898, and that he had no heirs who would care to have it, having only had one uninterested daughter in his life. So we kinda agreed that if and when he ever considered disposing of it, that he would call me, as I live just 40 miles away. Two years passed, and Rich called:...

As you know, Conor MacNessa (Tom (Doc) Mitchell) passed away in January and was finally laid to his final rest in Arlington National Cemetery April 10. Yesterday I was informed that his youngest son John died in his sleep the night before last. He was only in his 20's. Obviously the family is devastated. Please keep Mary Frances and the rest of the family in your prayers. Eternal rest grant to them O Lord, And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace, Amen.

Conor MacNessa (Tom Mitchell) will be laid to his final rest at Arlington National Cemetery April 10. Unfortunately it takes that long to be scheduled with full appropriate honors. I will be there, and invite any Freepers in the DC/VA/MD area who may have known and respected Tom to participate. PM me for more details. God love Tom, God Bless and comfort his family, and God Bless you all. 'Til Valhallah, Brother

~ FReeper mylife has gone Home ~~ November 26, 2023 ~ Abide With Me Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

We have just learned that Daffynition passed away in November. She was a 15 year FReeper, and will be sorely missed. Sending prayers for her family and loved ones.
