Thursday's Poll Do you believe climate change is an immediate threat? Yes No

Residents from Ednor Gardens to Park Heights stood as a united front against violence on the Aug. 6 for National Night Out (NNO), a citizen initiative to take back the streets. Hundreds of Baltimoreans across the city gathered at more than 70 locations alongside the Baltimore police department, state and local officials and community leaders for a night of food, fun, games and resources in hope to curb a recent wave of violent crime. Residents chowed down on Caribbean food from food trucks such as Black-owned Savannah’s Great Kitchen, manned by 14-year police veteran Sgt. James Glanville. Local Baltimore talent...

With the judgement forthcoming and the judge's decision to allow the jury to consider manslaughter, it looks like it will be an interesting next several days. Where will the trial head?

Reading the comment section in all the blogs on Rachel Jeantel was, hmm, not-so utopian. I look at the GG demographic as progressive, open-minded people who value the fabrics of the American quilt, appreciate urban influence culture and would attend the same music festival. Unfortunately, life is not a concert. This trial is painful for all of us who strive for a highly tolerant diversified society. It’s not easy because we all move at different speeds and must practice patience while waiting on the same line. I would like to think that if we all have tickets, there might some...

UPDATED | Former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner is weighing a run for mayor of New York City, an effort that would mark an attempt to return to public life two years after he resigned in a scandal over sexually explicit messages sent to young women. An interview published Wednesday by the New York Times Magazine marked the first time Mr. Weiner has spoken at length about what led him to exchange lewd messages and photos with women he met online, the impact the scandal had on his wife and his political ambitions. “At breakfast,” the Times article says, “Weiner quickly...

I am thinking about being on the sidewalk outside the Academy, on Wednesday, holding a sign that says something like “I’m a Real Cop Supporting the 2nd Amendment.” Anyone want to join me?

A state bill seeks to impose new controls on the sale of ammunition. Do you support the measure? Yes, it's crazy that there's less control on the sale of ammo than on cigarettes and alcohol No, the aim here is to tie people up red tape and suppress their right to bear arms Vote

Hello All, Throughout the day I've been running into more and more significant articles and media happenings that I tend to share out on my Facebook page. I see that FR also has a facebook page. I get about 20 of these significant articles and pieces of state legislation (I track about 6 state's legislatures). Instead of creating a post to detail each one, I usually pick out of the significant ones and post maybe one or two on FR itself. Would it be in the spirit of FR to continually deluge the FB page with my findings ? What...

Some of the Facebook pages on certain anti-2nd amendment morons have shut down the comments on them unless you are directly friended on them. Here is how you get around it: Click the little “Gear” Button, then click the “Report this Page” option then select “Hate speech or personal attack” and the option “Targets People with Disability or Disease” Example: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2995287/posts This anti-gun control freak has this facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mary-Hodge/106152966081632 But they shut down any comment on it, as she wants to get rid of veterans right's to posses their god given ability for self protection they are a practice...

I Am the Flag I am the flag of the United States of America. My name is Old Glory. I fly atop the world's tallest buildings. I stand watch in America's halls of justice.

I believe that freeping the many presidential polls all of us run across as we persue various media could have a substantial impact on influencing opinion. May I ask that we make a concerted effort each day to post polls from our local media outlets (newspapers, local tv & radio, etc.)in do this in a methodical, persitent and daily way.

Early reports are that the speech went very well and this from a very conservative source inside the venue. There was a very good turnout with FReepers Kristinn, Shove-it, Ravenstar, and yours truly. Others in the crowd who I missed, please shout out. THe Melbourne Tea Party had a good turnout and the SE corner had lots of Israeli flags and at least one sign that said Bibi (OK, they spelled it out but I don't have to). was for Romney....
