Before I even knew what a "meme" was, I remember discovering the most incredible ones and knowing exactly who crafted them. Since then, many of their names have escaped me in the span of time. As I reflect on over 20 years since joining FR, I'm reminded of members who are no longer with us (due to bans or departures) but whose art shaped much of our common history. Calling all our long-standing members! Do any of you recall specific names or have memorable examples from our community's golden era, spanning from the late 1990s to 2010? Share your stories...

Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate December 15, 1941, as Bill of Rights Day. And I call upon the officials of the Government, and upon the people of the United States, to observe the day by displaying the flag of the United States on public buildings and by meeting together for such prayers and such ceremonies as may seem to them appropriate." #BillOfRightsDay The first 10 amendments to the United States Constitution make up the Bill of Rights.

Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday signed into law a $711 million plan to make housing more affordable for working Floridians. A priority of Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, the “Live Local Act,” will more than double funding for housing and rental programs, provide incentives for investment in affordable housing and encourage mixed-use developments in struggling commercial areas. “As demand is high to move to a place like Florida, it makes it more challenging for folks to be able to afford,” DeSantis said during a bill-signing event in Naples. “I think this is the biggest effort that's ever been done in the...

Why does Popeyes hate white people?

I want to thank Jim and John for all the hard work you guys do to maintain this site and keep a channel of communication open for all like-minded conservative patriots. This has been my go-to site for news for over two decades now and I would be lost without you. Thank you also to all the Freepers on this site--even if we've disagreed in the past, you are very much appreciated! May God bless all of you as much as He has blessed me!

Are any Freeprs here Election Day Judges? I was considering becoming an election judge here in the People's Republic Of Maryland and thought I would reach out to other judge.

The emergence of a Canadian dictatorship is no laughing matter, even if it is Trudeau. The trauma in Canada serves as a stark reminder that even the politest nation can suddenly be turned on its head by a tyrant wearing blackface. If Trudeau is coming for your bank account, consider these tips for keeping your money safe. 1) Convert all your money to Tim Horton's gift cards: This is now the most stable form of currency in Canada. 2) Hide it under something Trudeau can't move, like a 10-pound dumbbell: His max is only 7 pounds. 3) Write quotes from...

Have not seen Song Nights for some time now. Does anyone know why it is no longer being posted?

It's been TEN years, since the accident that took the lives of two people, dear to my heart: TiaPam and Cardhu. They were both active Freepers.Just Amy opened a thread, requesting prayers for me, and there were almost 1,000 replies.A friend copied every page of those posts, and bound it in a folder for me. For ten years, now, I have referred to those pages many times! The prayers, well wishes, encouragement, scriptures, and pictures have had a tremendous healing effect! Many of the posters are no longer with us, and many are new to this forum. But those who...

Please pray for my family and me and the adopted God family of my lovely Lady Kathleen Elizabeth. I found her dead in her recliner in the living room this morning when I woke up as I greeted her with my usual “good morning. I love you.” She had passed away, apparently peacefully about 3AM. Kathy had taken early retirement just 18 months ago, looking for a long well earned retirement after 40 years of being a Registered Nurse and Certified Case Manager for Workers Comp. She was joyful at having escaped from California’s insanity to the sane State of...

Should Kevin McCarthy be Primaried?

“ ... ‘we are not certain at this stage that the vaccine prevents transmission’, W.H.O. spokeswoman Margaret Harris told a news conference….”.

How do I tell when I joined FreeRepublic ?

Stealing an election is not okay, the left has gone off the deep end and this is not going to stand. What do we do now? We must make a stand and fight back, the left has to realise we are not fine with this and we are not going to stand down.

Here is Tony Bobulinski’s statement in full: My name is Tony Bobulinski. The facts set forth below are true and accurate; they are not any form of domestic or foreign disinformation. Any suggestion to the contrary is false and offensive. I am the recipient of the email published seven days ago by the New York Post which showed a copy to Hunter Biden and Rob Walker. That email is genuine. This afternoon I received a request from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs and the Senate Committee on Finance requesting all documents relating to my business affairs...

I just passed my 20 mark here at Free Republic! Wow. Kind of sneaks up you. I joined during the 2000 election endless recount circus. And it looks like we’re in for another chaotic mess of an election this year. Let’s see how many 20+ FR veterans I can get to respond!

Does anyone know of a politician who has taken responsibilities for any mistake they may have made? This short clip posted by Andy Ngo exemplifies what I’m talking about. You should watch for yourself as a REAL journalist, Brandi Kruse, asks Seattle Mayor Jenny directly: “You down-played the autonomous zone (CHAZ). People were later killed there. Do you take responsibility?” The Seattle Mayor’s answer translated by my king tom decoder ring: WHY HELL NO I DON’T! https://choiceclips.whatfinger.com/2020/09/18/journalist-brandi-kruse-asks-seattle-mayor-jenny-directly-you-down-played-the-autonomous-zone-chaz-people-were-later-killed-there-do-you-take-responsibility/
