Free Republic

Prayers up. FR is funded solely by contributions made by the liberty loving patriots who love and use it. We are beholden to no political party. No advertisers, no outsiders, no sugar daddies, no corporate string pullers. Definitely no government subsidies or tax breaks. No 501c or other IRS non-profit status. This means no commercial ads. No annoying pop-ups. No ad tracking. No mail campaigns. No spam. No third-parties -- not even the IRS -- trying to control what we do or say. We are self-funded, fiercely independent and enjoy our freedom to speak plainly in the support of God,...

Freepers did an OUTSTANDING job in Q1 when Free Republic had to collect almost $20,000 in TEN DAYS to make the budget! Many donated even though it 'hurt' and some FReepers even donated TWICE to get us across the finish line - we couldn't have made it without that kind of loyalty and generosity. Amazing. I thank God for blessing us with FR, Jim and Chris, and the FReepers who get the job done.As a rule of thumb, I guesstimate trying to collect $1000 per FReepathon day would reduce emergency collections. SO looking at Q2, I see we're on day...

For example, I'm reading a thread and see a post that would be useful info to another thread. Rather than copying and pasting the entire post, how do I create a link for only that post? I know how to create a link for the entire thread, but not for a single post. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I twice attempted to post the news of the death of the Baltimore Orioles and MLB great and Hall of Famer, Brooks Robinson. Both times I posted it to General Chat with a keyword of Sports and both times some Mod pulled it saying I posted it to the wrong forum. I think that nickcaraway also had his post pulled. I do not understand why these posts were pulled.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has instructed major web browser company’s to begin blocking websites deemed “undesirable” by the globalist elites.The WEF-controlled nation of France is the first nation to issue a legal directive to web browser company’s to block all websites listed on a blacklist compiled by the Macron regime.Calling the plan “well-intentioned yet dangerous,” Mozilla warns that Young Global Leader Emmanuel Macron is plowing ahead with plans to force web browsers like Firefox “to create a dystopian technical capability” allowing the globalist elite to regulate what people see online.“Article 6 (para II and III) of the SREN Bill...

Hey guys. Have been a poster from years back. Am Looking for a GIF that was so apropos to what is going on now that Deamond-crats are flooding the web with spew. It's a GIF that was posted on Free Republic often and was of a bunch of monkeys pooping and throwing poop. Have not seen it for some time anywhere. Have tried researching Free Republic history to no avail. Any one out there with knowledge where I can find this GIF?

This is not DU! Discuss the issues all you wish, BUT DO NOT MAKE IT PERSONAL! Remember to use common courtesy when posting to FR. Leave off the insults and flames, name calling, etc. We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a "Putinista", "commrade", "murderer", "baby-killer", etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked. Likewise, things in the presidential primary are getting over-heated. We want to be...

Been here a long time. Maybe lost the handle in a few instances. Had posts removed for various reasons. Best place I've ever found. If I lose contact for some length of time, there are actual withdrawals. Schedule entire days on when I should hit 'refresh' and find out how many more crimes the Brandon Brood have committed. Can't imagine going anywhere else. Not kidding. Sooooo, the Robinsons have a budget that needs to be met. Can't meet it? Things have to be done. Moves have to be made. Don't really give a darn who makes a profit. I sure...

A friend of mine, Rob Morse, has been attempting to join freerepublic. He has submitted his email and information several times, but never gets a return email. What can be done to help him become a member of this community?

This is a response about FR from the AI site, ChatGPI, I found it interesting and thought I'd share.FreeRepublic is a conservative news forum and website that has been known to spread misleading or false information, and engage in conspiracy theories and hate speech. While it presents itself as a platform for conservative discourse and activism, it has also been criticized for promoting extremist views and rhetoric. One of the main reasons why FreeRepublic can be considered dangerous is its potential to spread misinformation and propaganda. The website is known for its biases and selective reporting, which can create an...

For those of you who care, as one of JimRob's FR FB Admins I appealed our Sept. 2022 ban this AM and we are reinstated. Please keep in mind that JimRob established the FB page so we could keep in contact if/when the motherboard went down. Now you all can unload on me that you've never used FB and will NEVER use FB and all who do are Zuckbots. 😂😎 OK, go ahead and flame me, I'm wearing double-secret fireproof underwear. 😉
