Free Republic

This is not DU! Discuss the issues all you wish, BUT DO NOT MAKE IT PERSONAL! Remember to use common courtesy when posting to FR. Leave off the insults and flames, name calling, etc. We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a "Putinista", "commrade", "murderer", "baby-killer", etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked. Likewise, things in the presidential primary are getting over-heated. We want to be...

One thing that is amazing about this forum is that there is such a broad cross-section of people and professions, that you can find an answer on nearly any topic you choose. This thread is intended to collect a list of people and what their expertise is. Sound off and let me know what you think you are an expert in! I'll start. I'm skilled in computer development, particularly C#.NET, MS SQL, Informatica, Azure ADO (CI/CD pipelines and repos and the like), and Agile practices.... among many other things.

With Conservatives point finger at Trump after GOP’s underwhelming election results: 'He's never been weaker' Many conservatives say Tuesday's election results show it's 'time to move on' from Trump. (Fox News'', November 9, 2022), as well as the Wall Street Journal - what do Freepers think?

Big wonder today.

I've only been here since 2010, so am still a pup. However, with that being said. I am so great-full for finding this online forum, what a group of people. I've reached out and helped fellow freepers across the country and have received the same help in return. Despite our not always agreeing on everything politically. May God bless all of you! foundedonpurpose

Satellite images which show dead bodies lining the streets of Bucha weeks ago appear to have debunked Russian claims that they were placed there after their troops left the Ukrainian commuter town. Authorities in Ukraine said the bodies of at least 410 civilians have been found in areas outside of Kyiv - specifically in the town of Bucha - after last week's withdrawal of Russian troops. Horrific images show many civilians with bound hands, close-range gunshot wounds and signs of torture. A growing number of world leaders have voiced outrage and called for tougher sanctions against Moscow. Russian Foreign Minister...

I see MSM saying that Conservatives support Putin. Which conservatives have stated support for Putin?

I drove around with a workmate in a Chevy Sonoma last Wednesday for about 20 minutes. We were both masked. He is vaccinated and I am not. He is in his 50’s and obese.

I am posting this as a vanity to tell you that the Jab killed my brother last night, blood clots and heart attack. He wasn't famous but most everyone here has seen his work.

LilFarmer: I have noticed so many posts on FR of personal experiences with adverse reactions to the vaccine and thought it would be helpful to put them all in one place. I am not trying to convince anyone to get or not get the shot, but I do think the other side of the story needs to be told so people can make an informed decision. These are the kinds of stories that never make the mainstream news.I have permission to post these accounts, and there are about twenty more I am awaiting permission. I respectfully ask that people do...

Thirty years ago, I was hiking alone on a section of the Appalachian Trail known as "Rocky Top" when I encountered two stocky young men. The thought occurred to me that they could easily kill me, toss my body in the brush, and get away scot-free. Whether the thought occurred to either of them, I will never know. I passed them by with a brief nod and moved on quickly to the turn-off leading to my parked car. But I remained troubled, and remain so today, by the fact that I had been so completely at risk. I had been...
