Free Republic

Just saw this and had to just kinda point out the obvious. One post title says: "ABC's Donna Brazile: Biden Has Done a Fabulous Job on Economy." and the next one says: "Biden's Abysmal Job Approval on Inflation and the Economy May Yet Hand Republicans a Massive Victory."

No details available from me...didn't know him personally...just saw his obit posted on "TOS"...other FReepers probably had a lot more interaction with him, seemed like a genuine/nice guy...RIP Quix: Quix's FR posting history: https://freerepublic.com/tag/by:quix/index?brevity=full;tab=comments Obit link: https://www.farmingtonfuneral.com/obituaries/delbert-dobyns-1

AP) — A Russian operative under the supervision of one of the Kremlin’s main intelligence services has been charged with recruiting political groups in the United States to advance pro-Russia propaganda, including during the invasion of Ukraine, the Justice Department said Friday. The indictment of Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov reflects what U.S. officials say are ongoing Russian government efforts to meddle in the American political process, to shape public opinion and to sow discord and dissent on hot-button social issues. In this case, the authorities say, Ionov from 2014 through last March recruited political groups in Florida, Georgia and California and...

Has anyone else been having problem with no cursor bar Free republic cursor bar? If page is minimized and then enlarged it does show

I need to access answers to posts I made here several years ago. I have never deleted any comments to me or by me. I know the information is there. Do any of you know how I can search previous posts/comments to me? I do not have time to go through page after page after page of responses.

Is freerepublic working..

A few days ago, it appeared that someone had hacked their way into a few Free Republic accounts, then commenced to post ridiculous, often obscene posts. As a matter of caution, I logged out for a few days. However, since I have returned to the fray, I see articles by headline as before, but nothing shows any text as it usually does. Now, I'm under the Nancy Pelosi rules of expectation in that: I have to open the post to see what's in it. I can deal with it. At least I can read what's "Hot" with other posts, or...

I've seen a number of articles lately about claiming the hospitals are full with Covid patients again. Is this true or just more fake news?

With the conclusion of last week, two years of Free Republic site statistics are now available for comparison. Watch the forum grow 300-400% in those two years. A remarkable achievement for a site advertised almost solely word-of-mouth. Click here to dazzle yours eyes and mind. A bountiful cornucopia, statistically pleasing, matrix of pure joy awaits.

WINNERS vs LOSERS When a winner makes a mistake, he says, "I was wrong". When a loser makes a mistake, he says, "It wasn’t my fault". A winner always gives 110% no matter how big or small the task. A loser is always "too busy" to do what is necessary and finds excuses. A winner goes through a problem. A loser goes around it, and never gets past it. A winner makes commitments. A loser makes promises. A winner says, "I'm good, but not as good as I ought to be". A loser says, "I'm not as bad as...

The slur goes something like "you had one job to do", but because I'm a geek, immersed in IT and knowledgeable about webmaster things, I know it's a spoke in a wheel. But when there's a Copyright List that every responsible FReeper goes to when posting from a source which isn't familiar, there's a reasonable expectation that following what's stated on the Copyright List page is correct. I, for one, have MUCH BETTER things to do than to spend the time - repeatedly - posting something to FR only to have the message pop up "Post blocked due to copyright...

I was with FR even before my sign up date states. Lost my password and couldn't retrieve it back then. God bless Jim Robinson but with a little effort, allowing "likes" and a little advertising, etc. FR would be worth billions.

See Header. Me too.

I am finding myself more disillusioned with politics than ever before. It's not just the stolen presidential election but the entire media is now anti-conservative and going for the jugular to smear and destroy. Every article I come across you can see it and it's pretty depressing! They have some how got this guy in office and have to rally round him and boost him. Opposition must be ridiculed/smeared and called extreme. They're even coming after services like Parler and shutting them down. I still logon to FR - perhaps the last free space on the internet - but generally...

After Parler was shut down i've heard many people say that FreeRepublic could also be targeted especially under the Democrats. I've been thinking about it and I reckon FR should be safe... Here's why: 1) FR is a News/Links/Discussion site. It's NOT some massive social media platform. 2) FR is Moderated. Trolls and troublemakers are booted and the site complies with the law (copyright, etc) 3) Jim has been in this game for over 20 YEARS. He knows what it takes to keep the site online. That said we have no idea what the Dems have in store. I don't...
