Free Republic

Freeper gubamyster passed away on December 10, 2022 at the age of 59. His name was James Ryan Williams II. He was an accountant, and lived in Huntington Beach, CA. "Gub" was a regular on the Weekly Dose of the Trump Family Train, and was known for his wry sense of humor and his witty repartee. He was married with four children. He loved baseball, and we followed the exploits of his oldest son, who played for his college baseball team. At the link, there is a picture of Gub and video tribute. We noticed he was not posting sometime...

The memo at the heart of the latest blowup at the National Security Council paints a dark picture of media, academics, the “deep state,” and other enemies allegedly working to subvert U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a copy of the document obtained by Foreign Policy. The seven-page document, which eventually landed on the president’s desk, precipitated a crisis that led to the departure of several high-level NSC officials tied to former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. The author of the memo, Rich Higgins, who was in the strategic planning office at the NSC, was among those recently pushed out.

Transcript and video of Donald Trump's speech today at Bishop Wayne T.Jackson's Great Faith Ministries in Detroit,MI, an African American congregation which invited him to speak. The transcript and video are provided for future reference. The speech, delivered in a very humble manner by Mr. Trump, showed his true heart for this country and all of its people.

This is what everyone is talking about--here is the full interview Jimmy Kimmel had with Donald Trump last night. It is 18.5 minutes long--no commercials. This is where Trump says he is willing to debate Bernie Sanders before the June 7th primary in CA. Also discussed is the rigged political system,the selection of the Vice President, how the nicknames for political figures were determined, and how Trump uses aliases for real estate deals. Also, Jimmy Kimmel presents Trump with a sequel Dr. Seuss-type book near the end that is adorable. Crowd reaction during the interview is excellent.

Donald Trump speaks at the Westin Hilton Head Island Resort and Spa--Wednesday, December 30, 2015 at 11:00 am EST, Rally 3 of 3 this week.

The month of June, 2012 is about to dawn. The next 30 days will encompass a series of important events as only very few months in our country’s history have witnessed. These events, while as different as snowflakes, will intertwine in a way that will make their effects magnified in a manner that few can foresee today. Our country is in the midst of an important election season. In November, a President will be elected, one third of Senators will be elected, and all 435 members of the House will be elected. Additionally, there will be countless elections in the...

FRiends, another new year is about to dawn. As 2011 fades into the sunset, I celebrate the completion of one more year on FreeRepublic. Thirteen years have gone by since I signed up. I had been lurking here since the summer of 1998, and answered the call to attend the March for Justice on October 30, 1998 in Washington, DC. I came there on my own all the way from NJ, not knowing how many people might be there, and not really caring if I was the only one who showed up. What mattered was that a President was breaking...

Today is my 12th anniversary as a Freeper. I came across Free Republic in the summer of 1998 as a lurker, troubled by an increasingly lawless President Clinton, and what was happening to our country. I lurked for about four months, reading every day and being amazed at the group of talented and knowledgeable people on this site. When Jim Robinson put out the call for people to come to Washington, DC to attend the March for Justice Rally on October 30, 1998, I came from NJ on my own, not knowing a soul there, because someone was finally calling...

Fellow Freepers, I want to humbly thank you for the support you gave to Christine O'Donnell here in Delaware. So many of you gave money, prayers and moral support as we here tried to break the Democrat hold on the good people of Delaware. Today, you will hear stories about Christine--about what a poor candidate she was, how Mike Castle was the better choice and a guaranteed win in DE for the GOP, and that she ran a poor campaign. Believe NONE of it. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting and talking with Christine numerous times during this campaign...

Today is my 11th anniversary of signing up on FreeRepublic. I lurked since the beginning of October, 1998, learned about the March for Justice, and travelled to DC from NJ to attend it to join the voices of those calling for the impeachment of a President who had broken the law. How thrilling it was to arrive at the Washington Monument on Oct. 31, 1998 to see a sea of flags and 4,000 patriots! Seven weeks later, President Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives. Since that time, Freepers have been instrumental in influencing the 2000(Sore/Loserman and "Get out...

Today is November 16, 2009. Our country is in deep trouble. We have a President who is demonstrably anti-American. His background and history remain a mystery. His goals and programs are the antithesis of traditional American values of freedom, capitalism, and representative democracy. He is anti-military, tying their hands with inappropriate and dangerous rules of engagement on the battlefield, and prolonging the inability to make a timely decision to send requested manpower to the front lines of the War on Terror in Afghanistan. This President cannot even utter the phrase “War on Terror”, and he is uncomfortable with the term...

What a day of contrast in America. In New York Harbor sits the latest warship of the US Navy, whose bow contains tons of steel that once supported the World Trade Center towers, the USS New York. In Washington, DC Speaker Nancy Pelosi intends to ram through the House a 2,000 page bill which will rob Americans of their freedom, giving the Federal government unprecedented control over the lives of every American. The warship will be commissioned today, in the name of the American people, to defend their freedom. The Speaker will try to enslave those same people. Make no...

Another day, another outrage from the Obama Administration. OK,how about a little diversion? Who is the posting champ of FreeRepublic? Who has posted the most number of threads? The most number of replies? Who has been here the longest(other than JimRob,of course!)? Check "Account" at the top of the page and let us know.

We have been under a sustained financial and psychological assault since the election of Zero last Novemeber. In the last six weeks alone, we have been barraged by an onslaught of radical plans and programs, while our financial future is put in serious jeopardy. We have seen that the actions of an out of control governement in Washington have stripped us of over $ 15 trillion worth of home values, stock values, and savings, with no accountability and no plan to fix it. Today, fellow Americans, we take our country back. Enough crying in our beer, moaning to each other,...

Friends, The days are dark right now. The Obama Administration, composed of some of the most anti-American, anti-freedom, and anti-Constitutional leaders we have ever seen, are busy daily deconstructing a free society that took 232 years to build. For those that are perceptive, it can readily be seen that there is brewing on the horizon a battle of epic proportions in the political realm. Like the test Abraham Lincoln referred to in his Gettysburg Address in November,1863, we are met on a great political battlefield which will determine whether a nation founded in liberty will survive, or whether a nation...

About one hour remains until the Senate votes on the Porkulus Looting of America Bill. Which means only one hour remains of the free America we were bequeathed by previous generations of patriots. We have done what we could, but our so-called rperesentatives, especially the blue state ones, refuse to heed the wishes of their constituents, and are set to approve a bill which will cement the doom of our beloved country. All that is left is a direct appeal to our benevolent God, to overlook our many sins as a nation and as individuals,to save our country, and to...

For some time, I have been wondering how Obama has managed to fool so many people. This past week, with his strange speeches at the Dem getaway, the Prayer Breakfast, and his pseech on Friday for the stimulus package, it struck me that something very unorthodox is going on. The hyperconfidence, the anger, the strange gestures—something was very unusual. I chalked it up to being “unPresidential” but it is something more sinister. NLP—neuro-linguistic programming, hypnosis, something is making rational people drool over this overrated clown. I found something that made sense to me: Zero is using hypnotic techniques in speaking...

FRiends, One year ago I posted the referenced article, a vanity by yours truly. On 2/2/08, we were on the brink of John McCain becoming the frontrunner in the GOP primary race. Misgivings about McCain were palpable at the time. So were feelings of foreboding and discouragement. Having McCain as the candidate was not a cause for rejoicing, as many of us knew instinctively it would be a disaster. I felt like the GOP was scripting a disaster, especially against conservatives, who had throughly embarassed the DC elites in the recently won battles against the proposed immigration bills just a...

FRiends, today marks ten years that I have been on FreeRepublic. I want to say thank you to Jim Robinson for providing this site and for providing a forum for conservatives to bounce ideas off each other and to wax eloquently(or just plain wax ad nauseum)on the political issues of the day.I want to say thank you to all of you for the insights and knowledge so freely shared here that enhances the understanding of a myriad of subjects every day, and which has helped me to make sense of the events of the last ten years. Although many in...
