Free Republic

Over the past two years we've seen Russia waging war against their neighbor Ukraine. Since World War Two Russia has invaded their neighbors several times, annexed territories that don't belong to Russia, and generally acted the part of the neighborhood bully. World War Two was started when Russia partnered with Nazi Germany to invade, conquer, and partition Poland. After the war ended the Russians annexed the part of Poland they stole. Also at the end of World War Two the Russians attempted to invade and seize control of Denmark only to be stymied by the United Kingdom and the United...

Im not enjoying the free republic lime I used to. Too many newbies that are trolls, looking for someone to drag into their abyss of self hatred. Theres been a lot of posts linked to posters with no bios, I think admin needs to limit the number of posts or remove those without any bio info.

Before I even knew what a "meme" was, I remember discovering the most incredible ones and knowing exactly who crafted them. Since then, many of their names have escaped me in the span of time. As I reflect on over 20 years since joining FR, I'm reminded of members who are no longer with us (due to bans or departures) but whose art shaped much of our common history. Calling all our long-standing members! Do any of you recall specific names or have memorable examples from our community's golden era, spanning from the late 1990s to 2010? Share your stories...

It's been ten days since our very prolific and wonderful FReeper FRiend Nick Carraway posted anything. Anybody got any idea where he might be? I hope he's all right. He posts so many eclectic articles that are fun to read and usually generate great threads of posts.

Freeper gubamyster passed away on December 10, 2022 at the age of 59. His name was James Ryan Williams II. He was an accountant, and lived in Huntington Beach, CA. "Gub" was a regular on the Weekly Dose of the Trump Family Train, and was known for his wry sense of humor and his witty repartee. He was married with four children. He loved baseball, and we followed the exploits of his oldest son, who played for his college baseball team. At the link, there is a picture of Gub and video tribute. We noticed he was not posting sometime...

Okay…. I’m posting in chat. Thought it might be fun to see Freeper YouTube channels. Sometimes it is good to put a face with the words. (Maybe sometimes not). Lol. This is just chat and visiting. We all need a break now and then from the political battle going on, that most of us can’t impact. Anyway.. an invite to share Freeper YouTube links. If this post isn’t allowed please just delete it and accept my apologies.

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...

One thing that is amazing about this forum is that there is such a broad cross-section of people and professions, that you can find an answer on nearly any topic you choose. This thread is intended to collect a list of people and what their expertise is. Sound off and let me know what you think you are an expert in! I'll start. I'm skilled in computer development, particularly C#.NET, MS SQL, Informatica, Azure ADO (CI/CD pipelines and repos and the like), and Agile practices.... among many other things.

With Conservatives point finger at Trump after GOP’s underwhelming election results: 'He's never been weaker' Many conservatives say Tuesday's election results show it's 'time to move on' from Trump. (Fox News'', November 9, 2022), as well as the Wall Street Journal - what do Freepers think?
