Free Republic

Hello FReepers! This is Yvonne, Jim's caregiver (I have a new screen name) Just want to let you all know Jim was hospitalized last Wednesday to the ICU unit. Chris and I thought he was leaving us but by the grace of God he spared him. He is back home! what a miracle! He bounced back and it is truly a blessing and we are so thankful to our heavenly Father up above. life is temporary, Today is the day of salvation 2Corinthians 6:2 For the wages of sin is death, But the gift of God is eternal life through...

I use it on the fundraiser thread, prayer threads, and news that I think will be of great interest.

My oldest brother who introduced me to Free Republic online back in 1997 while I was nursing my 3rd baby in the middle of the night ( I guess I was complaining about the isolation of the 3AM feeding) has died after a long struggle with Alzheimers. In his senior year of St. Mary's high school in Manhasset NY he was accepted to West Point, Annapolis and the AirForce Academy but chose Notre Dame. After graduation he was drafted into the army and sent to Germany as his younger brother was already fighting in Vietnam. They both came home -...

Free Republic is working good now. But yesterday and this morning I got a 'page not found' or something. Anyone know a specific reason for this? Also I use to have an alternate spot to go to when FR wasn't working, but I forget which it was. Maybe facebook or Yahoo groups. What is a good current one that let's us converse about possible problems? I have 'Site outages' listed that are useful but prefer alternate blogs.

On a video call, 20-year-old Daniel Jackson, the self-proclaimed president of the Free Republic of Verdis, looks the part: He is sitting at a desk with the country’s flag to his right and a banner sporting the name of his country behind him. Instead of a presidential palace, he is speaking from a humble house in Dover, a port city in the south of England. And the Free Republic of Verdis, the country he claims to have founded in 2019, is nothing more than a small strip of uninhabited forest on the border between Croatia and Serbia, more than 1,000...

Malware bytes just issued a warning that FR is harboring dangerous software. What gives?

When I finished and published my first novel, it became apparent to me that an Author’s Website was important. I set about creating mine. What are the benefits of an Author’s Website? It shows professionalism and dedication to prospective agents, publishers, event coordinators, journalists, and your readers. An agent or a publisher is far more likely to become interested in your novel if you demonstrate that you are dedicated to your craft. A website will confirm your dedication. You have full control over your brand and the presentation of your work. Even if social media or retail outlets remove or...

Wired Americans spend nearly half their day online — splitting that time almost evenly between watching videos or TV shows and working, browsing and shopping, according to a new survey. “This new survey was eye-opening,” said Eric Bruno, senior vice president of product management for Optimum, whose telecommunications firm interviewed 2,000 US residents who have a home Internet subscription with any company for the poll. “We were amazed to see how many hours folks are watching, shopping and browsing online on a daily basis,” Bruno told The Post. “It underscores how important a strong, affordable, and reliable Internet has become...

Does anyone know how old the Free Republic software is? Doesn't appear to have been updated in at least the 20 years that I've been here. It would be nice to have hyperlinks and better interfaces and a better search function. Not just text and photo files in line. It looks like Craigslist looked about 25 years ago. Anybody with software experience have any thoughts on this?

Hello everyone! I recently released my very first science-fiction, political-thriller novel on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. I've been told that the work seems to embody the writing style of a Tom Clancy or a Michael Crichton, blended with an Isaac Asimov. While this is high praise, indeed, I want to go to the next level. Enter an analysis of a very quiet, very low-action scene in the first season of Game of Thrones. That analysis is here.The analysis is stellar. The writing is stellar. The analysis talks about how: Robert Baratheon was not a lecherous drunkard, but actually a very...

Ten or twenty bucks a month will keep this thing going. I've donated anonymously back since 1997 when I found this site. When this the only place on the interwebs reporting on Xlinton's malfeasance. True, the site is now dominated by crippled, angry, old men, and fat, blue-haired old bitties whose nipples drag on the floor when they walk. Aside from all that, please consider donating to Free Republic. I've set up an automatic payment, by check, through my online banking/bill pay. Mailed to: Free Republic, LLC PO Box 9771 Fresno, CA 93794 Because the online payment system FOOKIN SUCKS!!!!...

We either go bankrupt or we go to subscription only or we need to get busy today.

Thought you should know - Thanks in advance for fixing this

Dear Freepers After almost 25 years of freerepublic.com being a rare bastion of sanity in this crazy world, I will be ending my time as a member of this once great site. The quality of FR has degraded to the point that I no longer find much usage for the site that I can’t find on other platforms and sources. I have had multiple conversations with many freepers, both in the forum and privately and many of them agree with some of my points of contention: A) The primary reason I am leaving is the failure of FR to address...

Sad news, Freeper JustAmy has passed on. Her real name was Amy Defendis. More information will be posted as it becomes available.

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...

Three hours since a new article was published. Is this thing on?

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”
