Multi-millionaire dog receives death threats A dog left £6million by her late owner has been moved to a safe house after receiving death threats. Trouble, a small white Maltese, inherited her fortune from property and hotel billionaire Leona Helmsley. The dog came out significantly better in its owner's will than members of the Helmsley family - two of her grandchildren received nothing. But the so-called Queen of Mean's multi-million dollar trust fund for Trouble may have backfired. The New York Post reports that Trouble's new guardians have received around two dozen death threats directed at the bitch. Two months ago,...

We've received many requests from freepers requesting that other freepers not post to them. There are several problems with this. 1. It's impossible for us to enforce.2. We don't have the time to enforce these requests.3. We don't have the software to keep track of these requests.4. Thick skin helps.5. Ignore the poster, if you don't reply, they won't reply. Free Republic does not need a bozo filter, bozo filters are for wimps. Final note: Trolls, troublemakers, disruptors, forum pests, malcontents, RINOs, liberals, stalkers, et al, would continue posting to (harassing) someone after being asked to stop. Conservative FReepers would...

You might think that Nancy Pelosi, being a liberal Democrat, would be a favorite of groups like Code Pink. Not so. The political goalposts have been moved so far...

Strategic to Brian's campaign to...

As Maria Sharapova prepared yesterday to defend her Wimbledon singles title, the All England Club confirmed that the tournament's most bankable star is being stalked. A British man has been banned from the club's grounds for previously lunging at her during a tournament in America. The Russian teenager said she was not worried about the threat from stalkers and felt "safe and secure" walking around Wimbledon. But she admitted that she would not feel comfortable being on her own. She is always accompanied by at least one minder and occasionally employs up to five bodyguards. "I'm always around someone, I'm...
