I purchased a decent network laser printe earlier this year and it’s been great. . It’s been great. Now we have grandkids and I learn that inkjet printers do a much better job of printing pictures. So I am looking for recommendations for network inkjet photo printers. My last one sucked (10 years ago) ate ink and never operated well. I figured there were some ameture photography people that could recommend a good network printer for pictures. The laser will handle everything else. One that works with apple/MS os would be great. Anyone have a good recommendation that doesn’t just...

NBC News chief political analyst Chuck Todd said on Thursday on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports” that former President Donald Trump will not be helped with voters if he debates President Joe Biden. Jansing said, “Where do you put the chances of a debate actually happening?” Todd said, “I think it’s pretty low. I would be surprised if there’s a debate. It is really hard to justify sharing a stage with Trump knowing how the conversation’s going to go.”

Iranian opposition activist Vahid Beheshti visited Israel this week, where he was the first-ever member of the Iranian opposition to address the Knesset at a meeting of the Knesset Israel Victory Caucus (KIVC). Beheshti is a human rights activist who fights the Iranian regime. For nearly 11 months, he camped outside the UK Foreign Office, even hunger striking for part of the time, demanding the UK classify the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. In a conversation with Arutz Sheva-Israel National News, Beheshti explains that the current war with Hamas is all about Iran, and that is what...

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that he believed Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) “needs help” because of two physical altercations he had with the ex-speaker. Anchor Jake Tapper asked, “You are a combat veteran. You served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and you have watched many politicians speak as if Congress itself were a battlefield. They want to score points for their side no matter the costs. This week a Republican lawmaker accused Kevin McCarthy of giving him a sucker elbow to his kidneys. In the book, you write about two physical altercations with McCarty. Tell us...

I want to record a series of interviews many hours worth. And perhaps post the content later. What sort of recording device is used in these digital days?

In an era of sensationalism and clickbait headlines, the media’s portrayal of all hot weather as a sign of end times adopts an apocalyptic tone. Each scorching summer is touted as further evidence of an impending climate catastrophe with little room for nuance or objective analysis. Lost in the hyperbole is the inconvenient truth that cold weather actually poses a far greater threat to human life than heat waves do. In other words, no, we’re not all going to burn up this summer — and in fact, more of us might survive next winter. Contrary to popular media efforts to...

Ok...I'm a retired IT guy and really puzzled why I can't figure this out. I have a Samsung Galaxy 22 Android phone. Up till a week ago FR was perfectly readable. One day it suddenly made the type very small like a desktop only website. I also have a small Samsung tablet. FR still looks fine on it. I have looked at FR settings and Chrome browser settings and can't find anything that will fix it. I did just try Firefox on my phone and it looks fine, so obviously this appears to be a Chrome setting problem, but I...

Tragic video shows dying Cash App founder Bob Lee was ignored by bystanders as he begged for help after being stabbed in San Francisco early Tuesday. Before succumbing to his injuries, the 43-year-old chief product officer of MobileCoin walked up to a parked car that had its hazard flashers on to try to get help, according to surveillance footage obtained by the San Francisco Standard. Footage showed Lee lifted his shirt to show the driver his two stab wounds — but collapsed to the ground as the car drove off. Lee called 911 at 2:34 a.m. and pleaded for help,...

Before I make a rash decision to seek psychotherapy for the frustration tsunami that floods my mind when I watch Karine Jean-Pierre evade press questions, I thought I'd suggest a solution that is a "sign" of the times. KJP can be effectively replaced by five signs that light up during press questions: 1) Refer to the WH Council. 2) Refer to the DOJ. 3) No comment. 4) The president has been very clear. 5) It was point of mind. Yes! Just place them around the WH Press Room lectern and KJP can just sit at home with her laptop and...

One of my longest time friend’s husband is having a hard time recovering from serious abdominal surgery. His name is Ron. He’s a good guy. Just asking for prayers.

The COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer and BioNTech was 100 percent effective in adolescents aged 12 to 15 in a phase 3 study, the companies announced. "The initial results we have seen in the adolescent studies suggest that children are particularly well protected by vaccination, which is very encouraging given the trends we have seen in recent weeks regarding the spread of the B.1.1.7 UK variant," BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin said.

CORRECTION: Ukraine has not yet received the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS). A previous version of this story contained incorrect information on the delivery of the system due to errors in the CBS transcript of its interview with Zelensky. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is thanking the United States for the advanced air defense systems it has sent to his country to aid in its war with Russia, but he also is pressing for more, according to an interview aired Sunday. Zelensky on CBS’s “Face the Nation” thanked Washington for the shipments of High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems and other...

I've only been here since 2010, so am still a pup. However, with that being said. I am so great-full for finding this online forum, what a group of people. I've reached out and helped fellow freepers across the country and have received the same help in return. Despite our not always agreeing on everything politically. May God bless all of you! foundedonpurpose

My guess, would be privet invite only, we have enough trolls as it is. Jim I would love your thoughts on this. Thanks! Founded
