She had a long battle with sickness and is now at peace. If you have any questions feel free to message on Facebook on her page.

With gratitude to Jim Robinson and all the thousands of freepers and patriots I've met in person or chatted with online through this organization, I give thanks for the most wonderful news and activism site ever! I met many of you while freeping Walter Reed 2005 - 2012.... [more]

My Aunt Ethel died and today is her memorial service. She was a month or so older than 101. She was the last in a family series of sisters and husbands and brothers. She was not really my aunt, but the foster sister of my mother. Ethel was like my mother and father, a child of the depression. Her family though was literally torn apart by the ravages of the Depression. My grandmother’s church stepped in and absorbed the five children into three of the church families. She and a younger sister became my mothers sisters. They were truly a...

Legislative District 30. And I won by a lot. I will post more tomorrow,

Something very odd happened to me yesterday. I had noticed a mole on my back that concerned me and rather than wait a few weeks for an appointment, I dropped into my dermatologist for him to have a quick look. He gave me a name for it, "Seborrheic Keratoses", and said it benign and was nothing to worry about. He sent me off with a pamphlet about it. I had not done any searches online, for either skin cancer in general or for this specific lesion, not now or ever. I have watched cardio docs on Youtube, but it doesn't...

Nancy D. Wermes, 75, a resident of Bettendorf, Iowa and formerly of Tustin, California passed away on Thursday, June 13, 2024 at the Bickford Cottage in Davenport.

I'm at Seatac Airport (SEA) at the gate for my 10:00 A.M. flight LY9468 through Newark to Tel Aviv. I'm volunteering for the IDF through their organization "Sar-El". Usually, volunteers do warehousing work on base, live in the barracks, and eat with the soldiers. I believe in transmogrification. For three weeks, I'm freeing up an 18-year-old Israeli kid with an M16 to go into Gaza and kill ham ass. I'm 62 and fit, and I can do the warehousing work that a soldier would otherwise have to do, and they can go to the front. Through the magic of transmogrification,...

Has anyone seen or heard from FReeper Nathan Bedford? I haven't seen him on the site in quite a while

A conservative political action committee billed as Fix Jersey Now is looking to do what Republicans have long been loathe to do: Beat the left at its own ballot game. The PAC, affiliated with New Jersey conservative icon Dominick “Mick” Spadea, aims to fund and implement a ballot-gathering initiative to bring back the GOP from the brink of oblivion in the Democrat-dominated Garden State. Third-party collection of ballots has been part of the Democrats’ blueprint to electoral success. Every so often they get caught breaking the law. “We need your support to get boots on the ground,” the organization urges...

A retired merchant marine suspected of using his small plane to stalk a woman for more than four years in Upstate New York denied knowing the victim Tuesday as he was arrested for the third time in a single week for allegedly tormenting her. "I don’t know her, she’s crazy," Michael Arnold, 65, said of 42-year-old Cassie Wilusz on his way into Saratoga Town Court. He said he'd only eaten at her restaurant once and didn't return after coming down with food poisoning. But Wilusz, who owns Revolution Cafe in the small village of Schuylerville, shared videos that allegedly show...

Utah man was shot and killed by FBI agents during a Wednesday morning raid linked to assassination threats against President Biden and other top Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The deadly shooting occurred in Provo around 6:15 a.m., when the feds tried to serve arrest and search warrants at a home, the FBI office in Salt Lake City told The Post in a statement.

For many years, Pastor Charles Henrickson has posted a good Scriptural sermon here on FR. Please pray for him. He has a health challenge; that's all I can say. Some laudable things about Pastor Henrickson: - he has posted a very good Confessional Lutheran sermon here every week for a long time - he uses his real name - he's openly being a member of Free Republic when so many, even in a conservative church body, would look down upon him for that. I don't know any other MO Synod pastor who does this, and I know quite a few....

Today is my 14th FReeper Birthday. I've posted a total of 5,075 threads and 121,769 replies. Not much compared to some FReepers, but this place is my island of sanity.

The ex-wife of the octogenarian charged with shooting Ralph Yarl said he was prone to violence during their troubled 14-year marriage – and that it “doesn’t surprise” her that he pulled a gun on the teenage boy when the child mistakenly showed up at his address. Mary Clayton, 81, who was married to Andrew Lester when she was young, has not spoken to him in decades and didn’t even recognize him when he appeared in the news for allegedly shooting Yarl, who had shown up at his address instead of one a block over to pick up his siblings, The...

A Kentucky man is accused of using a cattle prod on his own children. Deputies said he did it to “discipline” them, but now defendant Anthony L. Jones, 32, faces four counts of criminal abuse in the third degree of a child 12 or under, and one count of criminal abuse in the third degree. “The perpetrator used an electric cattle prod multiple times on his two children for discipline,” deputies wrote in documents. “Both children were given a forensic interview at the CVAC center and both confirmed this. The perp used the cattle prod to shock the victims and...

President Trump has called on supporters to protest his expected arrest next week by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on bogus charges arising out of the alleged 2016 Stormy Daniels hush money arrangement. Several so-called influencers are warning supporters to stay home to avoid being entrapped by the feds into another January 6 riot. As one of the most experienced conservative street activists who was active in our Nation’s Capital for over a decade, I want to offer my advice on whether to go out and protest (yes) and how to do it. First, some background. I was active in...

Hello, everyone. This post is for Metmom who cannot post at this time due to the snow and winds having toppled a pole with power transformer near her driveway. She and husband cannot get off their property due to the lines being across their driveway. Her internet is down, to boot, of course. There is a widespread power outage in her area, and there's no idea how long it's going to take to get things going. Metmom is asking for a quick fix to this problem, as we can all understand. It's ok for a while, then it gets to...
