Free Republic

Below, I have posted my comments, FReeper threads and comments, followed by the three X.com posts in Biden's account used to withdraw him from the 2024 election.On Free Republic, there are posts and threads asking questions like, "Where's Joe Biden?" and "Who on Earth is running the country?" A Freeper commented that Biden's schedule is blank and he hasn't been seen for 5 days. If Biden is not running the country, then who is in charge of this coup d' etat?The Washington Post published an extremely biased assessment of the fighting in Israeli, noting that Netanyahu is traveling to Washington...

The best website on the internet is back in action! Thank you FR crew, God Bless you, and God Bless America on this Independence Day!

Have been checking this question out online and not getting very far. Older FR posts from 20 years ago pull up on the search, ostensibly discussing ping lists and offering them, but this gets confusing the deeper I drill down, no guidance as to how to actually identify, access, or even create one. Some of the postings go back to the early 2000's. Looks like they are trying to be helpful but I can't make heads nor tails of the links they offer. Am stumped. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong and how to do it the right...

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.

A few things that President Trump with a Republican House and Senate can do to immediately stop the downward spiral: Fire all the Democrat lawyers and activists you possibly can from government perches. Cut the government, cut the spending, for the first time ever. Slash the income tax for personal and business. Again. Make it permanent this time. Drill, baby, drill! Achieve energy independence again. Become a net exporter again. Secure the border. again. Deport all the illegals that can be deported. Then deport some more. Reapply the tariffs. Again. Get us out of foreign wars. Again. Tell the UN,...

Sorry folks, I think I've created a monster. There's a difference between hard rules and soft guidelines. FR is intended for family audiences. Even though I'm a sailor and a sinner I know not to use the F bomb in mixed company. So do you. But I think I effed up By isolating the sh word in a prior post. We all know that BS Is B S especially in politics. Even women and children know that BS is BS. No need to report it every time you see it. We're swamping our abuse reporting system. My own sainted mother...

Remember, the national government has not one, but two warrants for its existence. 1) The Constitution 2) The Declaration of Independence The Constitution's purpose is "to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" The Declaration states, "[men]are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty...

I’m on the El-Al flight to Boston, just taking off from Ben Gurion Airport, Tel Aviv. Here’s my last situation report, and a reminder that you can do this too! Previous Postings: Week 1 was building 328 new bunk beds in new barracks on an IDF combat training base. Week 2 was building 44,000 lunch meals for troops in Gaza, one of whom I bought drinks in a bar, and had eaten lunches we packed. Week 3 was making 3 meals a day for the Navy in the Eilat heat. Now for a wrap up of the last weekend, afterthoughts...

I don't remember when I got old, it just happened. One day I turned around and discovered I was an old man. Thinking back on it I think it was after my wife died. When Sheila died it took all the wind out of my sails. I'm now adrift, without rudder, without anchor and without a North Star. The bilge water is creeping up and threatening to put the fires out for good. If you've ever experienced being dead in the water in the middle of an ocean, that's how I'm feeling right now. It's a surreal feeling. 'O God,...

I've been asked to chime in, so I'm chiming. But you're not gonna like it. The state of discourse on FR is totally up to you. You know the guidelines and rules. I don't need to repeat them again and again and again. We are mostly adults here and mostly Christian conservatives. We all know how to behave in a mixed public setting. We don't need and don't want to be supervised. Before you post that next profane post or personal attack just ask yourself, what would Jesus do. Can't we all just get along? Thank you all very much...

In the past couple of years I have noticed there is a complete lake of regard for other posters on this site. Not only that but swearing seems to be tolerated. In the past day I have been called gay, a lair, that I am talking out of my *** and I am full of ****. Do we even have to go into the fighting on any thread about Ukraine or Russia. Even hard facts from multiple sources no longer seem to matter. Instead it is whoever can come up with the snarkiest reply.

Base: Navy Base in Eilat situated at the extreme South of Israel on the Northern tip of the Gulf of Eilat (or Gulf of Aqaba to muslims). Base Mission: Defense against incoming drones, rockets, ballistic missiles, etc. Freedom of Navigation. Base Conditions: The Navy lives up to its reputation as the most organized service. Better food. Cleaner base (essentially no trash). More disciplined soldiery. Weather: Daytime highs of around 107. Evening showers for bathing are in “cold” water that is room temperature: 105 degrees at 6:00 p.m. Borders: From the beach on the Southwest shore of Eilat, you can see...

I’m in Tel Aviv getting ready for a night on the town. This week in the IDF was great! Here are my impressions: This Week’s Mission: Packing boxes of shelf stable food for frontline troops in Gaza. Team: 50 people from around the world with many Brits, Aussies, Canadians, Americans, Brazilians, etc. Unlike last week’s uniquely fit team, many of the participants had compromised health situations. Clearly they were chosen for this work because many roles were seated along an assembly line, and the physical requirements were limited. Results: 44,000 meals assembled and shipped into Gaza. Base: A large base...

I posted the breaking news regarding the death of Grayson Murray over three hours ago. In fact, it was within five minutes of it being announced on CBS Soorts. It has been removed and replaced by two other threads one, beginning at 5:35 and the other at 6:01. I would just like to know why. Thank you.

I am in Israel for 3 weeks volunteering in logistics for the IDF through “Sar-El”. Many of you asked for regular Situation Reports, and this is my first one for the first week. Primer Please see my original post for why I’m here, and the nature of Sar-El: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4237961/posts Tel Aviv • Young: Tel Aviv is filled to the gills with young people. The ages on the street appear to be 20-35. If you’re a single Jew below 35 anywhere in the world, I recommend you RUN to Tel Aviv. The girls are extremely good looking, the weather is hot,...

I am in complete SHOCK! I just now found out that our own BRILLIANT Charles Henrickson passed away on April 28. Anyone who knew Charles knew how INCREDIBLE he was. His intelligence was OFF-SCALE. Nobody had a better way with words than Charles. At a drop of the hat he could could compose absolutely BRILLIANT and HILARIOUS parody songs. Some might remember that for a long while he was my partner in "crime" for producing the DUmmie FUnnies. I am very fussy about my writing so only someone whose writing I have total respect for would I allow to have...

I'm making a bold prediction today she's got this based on the following evidence: She's on the listDonald Trump Shortlist: Tulsi Gabbard's VP Chances Soar"Tulsi Gabbard's odds of becoming the 2024 Republican vice-presidential candidate surged with a leading bookmaker after Donald Trump said she was on his short list during a Fox News town hall on Tuesday".She wants itTulsi Gabbard ready to ‘serve my country’ as Trump’s vice president if asked“If that call came, I would say yes, and I'd be honored to serve my country in that way and to be in a position, first, to help win this...

U.S. District Judge Diane Humetewa acquitted three former Backpage executives of myriad counts against them last week—more evidence of how empty so much of the federal case against them is. Humetewa ruled that there was insufficient evidence to uphold 50 of the counts* against journalist and Backpage co-founder Michael Lacey, 10 of the counts against former Executive Vice President Scott Spear, and 18 of the counts against former Chief Financial Officer Jed Brunst. From the beginning, this prosecution has been premised on a bogus rationale (authorities yammer on about sex trafficking though none of the defendants are charged with sex...

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

As you know, Conor MacNessa (Tom (Doc) Mitchell) passed away in January and was finally laid to his final rest in Arlington National Cemetery April 10. Yesterday I was informed that his youngest son John died in his sleep the night before last. He was only in his 20's. Obviously the family is devastated. Please keep Mary Frances and the rest of the family in your prayers. Eternal rest grant to them O Lord, And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace, Amen.
