Free Republic

Yvonne Garcia - aka "not my way Yahweh1" on FR and my dad's former private caregiver and I have tied the knot!

Our good FRiend, professional engineer, aka Rex Drake PE, has passed away, according to his sister, who posted on his Facebook page, as did others including myself. She also said that they don't know what happened to him yet. So very sad and sorry for this shocking and devastating loss. I met Rex several times when a group of us went on shooting weekends. He was exceptional. God rest his soul. Prayers of strength and comfort to the children and family. And his precious sidekick, his dog Mollie! His FReeREpublic page. Rex [PE] on the left.

Or Chris or John What is the total number of subscribers to Free Republic? Meaning, those with an ID and posting privilege.

On my phone if I hold it straight up and down I cannot see free republic. The font size is too small. But if I flip it over and the phone is now east and west the font is big enough that I can scroll comfortably. Was this done on purpose?

Recently freerepublic stopped loading correctly on my Samsung phone. The spacing between lines are off and the font is too small and can't be adjusted to fit the page correctly. I've tried all the options on the phone, and returned to my carrier to fix it. They claim it has to be a website problem. Is anyone else having this problem, or know how to correct it?

December 20th marks ny 25th anniversary of joining FR. When I joined I was a career cop in My early thirties. I was freshly married and optimistic. I am now divorced, retired and disabled. Through all the crap that's gone on these 25 years I can honestly say that my optimism is somewhat diminished . But not entirely extinguished. I still believe we can make a difference in the here and now. But added to that, I've come to understand that it's also preparing for a much longer future when we leave this world. Jim: RIP, God bless you and...

FReepers of a certain vintage will recall that strange species of missive, the “Opus.” Periodically members would leave, but would pen an “Opus,” the lengthy explanation. I never quite understood these; they seemed a bit self-important to me. Today is my 25th anniversary on FR. I’m not going to anywhere, so this is my “No-Pus.” Many thanks to my FRiends for this great community. Apologies if I’ve ever been unduly unkind. As of today I have 12,777 replies, 1.4 per day on average for 25 years. When I post a stat like this, some of my FRiends will point out...

I do not want to waste the time to read all the posts, which do not interest me. This daily sending of unwanted posts has been going on for over a year, I think, and it's time it stopped. Every day I have to waste time hitting "delete", "delete", "delete" and I am darn tired of this. If I want to read those articles, I can click on them myself.

Anyone see this? In the Whitehurst Sullivan Burns & Blair Funeral Home's Guestbook for Jim Robinson, there was the following response to Joe Alfieri’s post there: “FreeRepublic gave a voice to millions? Lol. No. FR gave voice to thousands of people who probably shouldn’t talk about anything because Boomers are addicted to giving unsolicited opinions about things they simply don’t understand.” Bill Clinton

Thank you all for your prayers and condolences. My dad's graveside service was simply beautiful! They played two of his favorite songs: "Blue Bayou" by Linda Ronstadt and "Zion" by Aaron Shust. Yvonne took several short videos of the service - as well as from the viewing the night before, and I'm posting mostly image captures from those videos. I'll continue working on this over the coming days.

I attended Jim's graveside service. I feel like I should post something about it, to give Freepers and his Family some peace. I'm sure his son Chris has many things to do besides make a post about this, so I'm going to do one for him. Hope he doesn't mind. It was a small and Solemn service. A Navy Funeral Presence was there... from the near by base of Lemoore Naval Air Station. They did the United States Flag folding ceremony, and also played Taps. The Rabbi who presided over it, said a wonderful prayer, about mourning death... it wasn't...

Dear FRiends, To honor Jim, I’m about to donate beyond my monthly donation to FR, in lieu of flowers. Please join me if you’re able. It would be nice it if we could end a FReepathon early for a change. God bless you, JimRob, and your family. Thank you for all you have done for us.

The March for Justice rally was held by the Free Republic to promote and support the investigation of the president. Speakers discussed the importance of the investigation and its benefits to the country. They emphasized their moral disgust with the actions of the president and encouraged people to influence government by voting.

I heard this morning from Chris Robinson that his dad had passed away on October 27, 2025. They live in Fresno, California. His beloved wife, Sheila, passed away on 11-18-2020. He is survived by his loving sons, Chris and John. He was the founder of this important internet platform for Conservatives, and was a true patriot. THIS was the last post that he wrote, thanking someone for their donation on 10-24-2025. For us who were privileged to have had the chance to meet him, he was a kind a gracious man who worked hard making FReeREpublic a safe place for...

Freeper Petronski has passed on from this mortal coil. Over the years and from time to time, he and I have engaged in witty reparte and fun exchanges. He is survived by his wife cyborg, among others. He will be missed. Godspeed, FRiend.

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