    I haven't seen any Freepers post or comment on the new series on Amazon. Personally, I thought it was great and I don't want to post any spoilers. If you're a fan of military action/psychological thrillers this one will grab you and won't let you go.

    Netflix appears to be done with its woke employees trying to censor and silence those who offend their sensibilities. Those employees can get a job somewhere else, according to a report citing a new Netflix corporate memo. One specific section of the memo gaining notoriety is the "Artistic Expression" section, which seems to be Netflix's answer to a year filled with woke employees complaining about comedian Dave Chappelle's special.

    KENOSHA, WI—Moments before reading the verdict, the twelve jurors in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse asked if the defendant would please step outside and defend the courthouse. “We, the jury will perform our constitutional duty and declare the verdict in this case,” said one sweating juror, “But we, the jury also don’t want to die.” “Objection, your honor, Rittenhouse does not possess an AR-15 to defend the courthouse; I have the AR-15,” said the prosecutor, swinging the weapon wildly about as onlookers nervously ducked behind benches. “Besides, protestors are heroes, people of upstanding character, and victims.”

    My Samsung 8S+ won't display FR properly. A few days ago it shrunk the screen so that everything is super small with long text strings. I can access anything but it is a pain in the butt because the more I zoom up the further out I have to pan back and forth to read it. And yes I am logged on 🤪 Thanks

    Can someone please explain to me just what are the "Important National Security Questions" that are supposedly in the FISA Memo? We are talking about a counter intelligence operation conducted by the FBI on American citizens. Surely the memo does not go into actual process/equipment used to gather intelligence. Since this was an operation conducted on American soil I wouldn't think we are talking about exposing HUMINT assets overseas. Anyway, I thought I would ask all you Freepers out there that have more insight and experience with stuff then I do, could share that with us.

    What has happened to the Free Republic that I can’t break away from? You know the one where you knew something big was happening in the world because you couldn’t open the site because of too much traffic (late 90’s)? The one that where you read articles that were of great interest on science, religion, or the bizarro? The one where you would have to don a flame retardant suit if you posted something that was outside the thought prevailing thought process of the other posters? I long for those days as I am sure many of us do as...
