Free Republic

I'm on Twitter. I'm on TruthSocial.

If you are on Facebook you might consider posting what I just did or something like it.

A liberal friend says President Trump has done nothing to help the oppressed. Besides the economy, please give me some examples.

It is critical that the Republicans retake the House and keep the Senate and of course the White House. I have an idea the will: 1) show the American people whose side Republicans are on 2) show the American people whose side the Democrats are on because it will be impossible for them to oppose but they will 3) not cost very much because it is already happening

Dear Ambassador Rice: The Senate Judiciary Committee has a constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the FBI and the broader Department of Justice. Part of that duty involves ensuring that law enforcement efforts are conducted without improper political influence. Accordingly, the Committee has been investigating the FBI’s relationship with Christopher Steele during the time his work was funded by Hillary for America and the Democratic National Committee, as well as the FBI’s reliance on his unverified third-hand allegations in the Bureau’s representations to courts. As part of that effort, the Committee sent a request to the National Archives for records...

Meltdown, Spectre, Foreshadow, and ZombieLoad are critical vulnerabilities in modern processors. I need a new computer. How long do I have to wait until a new processor will be available that is designed without those problems? Or am I going to have to go ahead and buy and live with the patches that reportedly cripple performance?

My son is finishing his degree in Applied Physics at a private NY college (math is his minor). Very bright kid, has taken tons of math and made the dean's list a couple times in his 4 years. Since he is only 6 courses short of finishing a second bachelor's degree I'm paying for an additional year so that he will also have a degree in Data Analysis. He is looking for a paid internship this summer. Any freepers looking for someone with these credentials? We live in NC and would prefer he be nearby but more important that he...

On three or four occasions my cell phone number has been hijacked in someway that I have received phone calls and text messages as though it would seem from myself. Yesterday, the text message I received from myself and the image associated with the non-person who used my cellphone number to send me a text message used an image which I have saved on the cell phone. WHAT THE HECK? ANY SUGGESTIONS?

It seems that a smart lawyer could create a class action lawsuit to sue Facebook, Twitter, and maybe others for shadow banning and otherwise interfering with conservative users of the sites. For example, while I don't care for Milo's lifestyle, I liked following him on Twitter. His posts generated traffic to the site. I own some Twitter stock and I want more traffic on the site. By banning him there is less traffic on the site. The likelihood of "conservative" social media sites (other than the best one, FREEREPUBLIC.COM) being created is slim. How can the existing social media sites...

I have created a solar oven with an old satellite dish and about 250 small mirrors. My thermometer reached >600 degrees F in about one minute. I'm trying to think of a way for it to automatically track the path of the sun. Any suggestions?

I've started a vineyard, 7 vines in 42 feet of space. All seedless and I'm in NC. I'm trying to decide what wire and post configuration to use. So far I have 3 eight feet posts that are 2 feet deep. Should I go with T on top of each or just 2 wires at 5.5 feet ant a second wire about 18 inches beneath it. Suggestions?

Can someone point me to a list of the political leanings of killers?

Scott Walker is a favorite of mine. He will be asked many questions by the media as they try to discredit him. What questions will he be asked and how should he best answer them? Freepers are some of the smartest people I know. Let's help the governor prepare for 2016.

I have many friends who are brainwashed by the spin. Can someone give me some help in refuting each of these charts which my friends suggest as proof that 0bama hasn't been all bad?

My supervisor said that performance evaluations will begin soon. She wrote, "The expectation is that the company follow the ‘bell curve’ in terms of percentages of employees that rank 0 – 4. In other words, I should not have employees that all rank 3 or 4, rather they should be spread as not all employees work at the same level. I don't think this is the right way to look at this. Grading staff isn't the same as grading a classroom full of students. We each have different rolls and expectations. Our performance should be based upon how closely we...

I have an idea for a smart phone app. Does any freepers have any experience doing that? I'm curious to know if charging for the app or selling advertising in the app makes more sense.

Do any freepers have any experience with High Blood Pressure? Mine has been running high for a few years. Usually, about 139/90. I have had one significant problem that might have been related. 5 or 6 years ago a retinal occlusion caused me to lose about 70% of the vision in my right eye. It started with "lightning" flashes and the next day if you were standing 15 feet from me your face would be an oval with no features. After about 6 weeks of steroidal eye drops the vision returned to normal. More recently in the past couple of...

I just purchased a Nexus 7. Any freepers own one? Do you have any suggestions?

The problem with the economy is that it used to take 100 people 8 hours to create a widget. Now a 100 widgets can be created by 5 people in 1 hour. We have too many people to create the number of widgets that are needed so widget manufacturers don't need to hire more people. Unfortunately, widget manufacturers have discovered that people in other countries can make widgets too. And they can ship those widgets here at less cost than the cost of paying 5 people to create a 100 widgets in an hour. The widgets aren't made as well...

I will be making a short business trip to Cambridge and London, England (Feb 5-7 Cambridge, Saturday, Feb 8 in London). Then a slightly longer stay in Sophia, Bulgaria (Feb 9-15). Freepers know everything. What should I do? What should I not do? Where should I eat? What places must I be sure to visit?
