    The Neo-Ciceronian Times ^ | May 6, 2025 | Theophilus Chilton
    About a month ago, the world was treated to the spectacle of a little punk named Karmelo Anthony stabbing to death a young White man named Austin Metcalf in a dispute that took place at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas. Anthony was inside another school’s tent and was asked to leave by Metcalf, but refused to do so. When Metcalf went to pick up Anthony’s backpack to encourage him to leave, he pulled out a knife and stabbed Metcalf multiple times, who died on the spot. For reasons that are inscrutable to the average normie but apparent...

    Does anyone remember the Freeper “CNN”? I think it stood for cringing news network. He was always talking about bringing back US jobs, manufacturing jobs especially from China. I think he’s long gone, but I’ll bet he would’ve liked “liberation day”

  • Dear FRiends: Please DO NOT use our credit card program for the time being. It's online but it's in TEST MODE and will not work. Please use paypal or mail-in checks for now. [FReepathon]

    Dear FRiends: Please DO NOT use our credit card program for the time being. It's online but it's in TEST MODE and will not work. Please use paypal or mail-in checks for now. [FReepathon] We are very sorry about this inconvenience however we have to get this work done. Our system has been abused by fraudulent credit card testers using bots to process hundreds of fraudulent entries. we are working to make our system bot-proof so that we can get our merchant account approved again. And, unfortunately, this delay has caused our FReepathon to fall way behind and it's going...
  • Old Freeper Accounts Hijacked?

    I've noticed, over the years, that very old Free Republic accounts, accounts that have been inactive for months or years, suddenly reactivate.... but their politics are suddenly suspect. Be they Zeeper-oriented (that is, super-favorable to Ukraine) or, conversely, super-favorable to Russia, or even suddenly-liberal... these accounts reactivate with a flurry of posts that are contrary to conservatism. Are these real Freepers who have had a change of heart about their politics? Are these real Freepers who feel the need to jump on the forum with propaganda and support for one side or the other per the Ukraine/Russia war? Or are...

    My Actual Experience ^ | 2/13/25 | Uncle Miltie
    Six years ago, FReeper “dainbramaged” (a guy I eventually knew In Real Life named “Rich”, last name withheld for his family’s anonymity) and I were FReepmailing about firearms. He mentioned he had a Winchester Model 94 in .30-30 that his Great Grandfather had bought new in 1898, and that he had no heirs who would care to have it, having only had one uninterested daughter in his life. So we kinda agreed that if and when he ever considered disposing of it, that he would call me, as I live just 40 miles away. Two years passed, and Rich called:...

    My memory and extrapolation | Ciaphas Cain
    I've been around FR for awhile, much longer than my registration. Something I remember from January 2017: Free Republic couldn't be reached at all in the day or so leading up to and on Trump's first inauguration.After the lights came back on, some on here wondered if everyone watching the site and trying to party together is what brought the place down for that day and a half.There were many however who suggested something more nefarious. Mainly, that the outgoing administration's lackeys launched a denial of service attack on Free Republic, out of spite.Should we put it past the Biden...

    To all my fellow Freepers who live in California, Especially those in the Los Angeles area, I'm monitoring the out-of-control fires that are raging in your area. My heart breaks for you all. The scenes I am seeing look like a Biblical disaster. A small nuclear device would have done less damage. The entire LA area looks like it will be utterly destroyed. I'm leaving out any discussion of fault, that is fodder for another thread. This thread is simply to wish you all well. Please remember, your life (and the life of those you love, including pets) is of...
  • Announcing the Activation of the "MAKE SOUTH CAROLINA GREAT AGAIN" ping list

    Vanity | January 6, 2025 | Perseverando
    The "South Carolina Ping List" has not been active in more than 16 months. It's time to get it going again, but with a different name and a more focused mission. My apologies in advance to long time Palmetto State Freepers who have been, and are still, active in trying to make South Carolina great again. This post is directed primarily to Freepers new to South Carolina, and new to our unbelievably screwed up RINO controlled GOP political BS. And, yes, I generally detest "politicians," especially RINO politicians. I know everyone has heard the old saying about the need to...

    Radio Discussion ^ | January 6, 2025 | rockabyebaby
    From the radio discussion site:RIP longtime WMWM, Salem DJ Bob Nelson aka "raccoonradio" at 62QuoteAccording to posts relayed to Facebook by friends from his sister Barbara, Bob Nelson passed away at 62 yesterday, following hospitalization and suffering from multiple health issues including two heart attacks and other problems since just over two months ago. Bob was a DJ, host, and producer at the Salem State University volunteer radio station WMWM 91.7 FM for over 40 years. He hosted several music programs of many sorts, but his main focuses were blues music, and local blues and roots-rock music shows on which...
  • The Tone and Tenor of Free Republic (vanity)

    Original Content | 12/30/2024 | By Laz A. Mataz
    I've noticed, as of late, the quality of the arguments on Free Republic have declined. This is especially true as regards the H1B argument. I have no intention of rehashing this argument, nor the points therein. I am speaking only to the tone and tenor of our forum participants. Musk did us no favors by being so confrontational about this issue, and may have inadvertently sparked the furor. I fault him for that. I see he's trying to cool this down now, and that is to his credit. However, it is my belief that the Deep State saw an opening...
