Free Republic

First off, I don't trust *anything* the Democrat media says. But why would they keep hiding and lying about Michelle Obama actually being a gay/"trans" male, if it were so? Wouldn't they be out, loud, and proud with it by now? Wouldn't they have gone on Oprah and boasted how "brave" our "first transgender first lady" is? Michelle actually being Michael just sounds like something the modern, reprobate minded Democrat party would be extremely open and boastful about.

My liberal dad just sent me the following text: “Without any emotions give me your view on Trump today. It's to have an idea of his standing today” IS THERE A QUICK LIST OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT I MAY QUICKLY SEND HIM BACK? I need to be thorough. Thank you, Freepers, and a Happy New Year to all! 🎉

I've seen ads regarding car/home insurance and how you should NOT get it through an agent but get it "direct". Does anyone have info or experience? I'm retiring soon.

We often think about human-induced climate change as something that will happen in the future, but it is happening now. Ecosystems and people in the United States and around the world are affected by the ongoing process of climate change today. Climate change affects the environment in many different ways, including rising temperatures, sea level rise, drought, flooding, and more. These events affect things that we depend upon and value, like water, energy, transportation, wildlife, agriculture, ecosystems, and human health.

Would someone provide me a link or just the graphic that showed the votes in various states in the 2020 election where biden's blue line suddenly goes straight up to pass Trump's arc? That was one of the first things showing fraudulent activity. However the various methods of fraud were worked they all depended on knowing how far ahead Trump was so they could dump sufficient numbers to overcome his lead. There wasn't an easy way to do this on the fly without looking really conspicuous but that didn't matter if they could take over and jail Trump and keep...

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?

<p>What can my fellow Freepers tell me about Shawn King?</p>

Joe walked into the living room brightly decorated for Christmas. The tree glittered with all the decorations and packages underneath. He thought it odd how the Gold Star on the tree matched the star on the window as the snow fell silently in the background. The dull pain in his chest returned as he looked at the lone gold star stuck on the window. Joe looked at his lovely wife of 27 yrs, wondering when he would ever see that smile light her face again. He walked into the room all decorated for Christmas, minus the joy. She was wrapped...

How has the Postal Service escaped the eye of Trump for reform?

On Monday, President Donald Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of the Navy John Phelan announced a new series of what they called "Trump Class" battleships, a new initiative to revamp and restore the maritime industry and shore up America's maritime dominance. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was also in the Oval Office and offered remarks.

I've been looking for one particular caricature of Buckley that evidently was not as popular as I thought. Can't find it and looked and looked. It is not the usual ones that come up but was very well done. Probably came out years ago, but I don't know when, where or who did it. Hoping someone here can find it.

A county run by a construction industry magnate with a net worth to rival Trump's, a magnate whose tainted son-in-law keeps getting re-elected Sheriff on the Republican ticket with never any serious opposition in the primary. A county illegal aliens stick to like iron shavings to a magnet, because there's tons of construction jobs just waiting for them here and law enforcement (there's an oxymoron for ya) looks the other way, and where the cost of labor for that magnate I was telling you about is negligible because of his cheap labor pool protected by the son-in-law. Try visiting one...

What I see as irony concerning Somalia

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...

I asked Grok why I have been inundated with liberal content on X. Reply at link.

Inflation is only at 2.6% year-over-year. This means that nearly 100% of the cost of tariffs has been eaten by the foreign manufacturers and importers. Which is exactly what I’ve been arguing would happen. Let me explain what is happening: The notion that tariffs would be passed onto customers has always been laughable on its face, once you understand that manufacturing is only 20% to 40% of the price of an item for sale. The rest includes advertising, warehousing, transportation and sales markup. (Importers have high transportation costs to get the product to America, but that’s all part of replacing...

Luke 1:68-70 (King James Version) Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: Last weekend it looks like there were two murders of two very different people who are most likely in two eternities right now. There was a young Christian girl who apparently was targeted for her faith and one of the richest most famous man killed by...

It has become clear to me that we need to expose the notions of "privilege" and "entitlement" for what they are. Thus this opus. Not a FReerepublic exit opus, just an opus, aka a rant. Privilege and Entitlement are the Rhetoric of Resentment and Envy THESIS: Privilege and entitlement are resentment and envy, laundered through FAFSA, glorified by inflated credentials, and paraded as moral superiority. Today’s rant is grounded in the gospel of 2 Diplomians 2:9-14 – · 2:9 - Blessed are those who anchor merit in wisdom and capability, for they shall not be deceived by inflated credentials. ·...
