Good evening fellow Freepers. I'm in search of some computer assistance with Linux Mint and accessing a Windows network. In times past, whenever I programmed Linux on a computer, I never had problems getting it to interface with my Windows network. That all changed in recent weeks/months, apparently. Now, whenever I try to access a Windows network with a Linux machine, I get this error: Unable to mount location Failed to retrieve share list from server: No such file or directory If you look at the discussion going on at the link, I've tried almost everything suggested, and then some....

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump said Monday that former FBI Director James Comey and Democrats need to be held accountable for spending years investigating alleged collusion between Trump and Russia now that Special Counsel John Durham has released a report that says the Trump-Russia probe never should have been launched. "I, and much more importantly, then American public have been victims of this long-running and treasonous charade started by the Democrats — started by Comey," Trump told Fox News Digital. "There must be a heavy price to pay for putting our country through this." Durham's report found that the Department of...

President Biden canceled his speech honoring fallen police officers for National Police Week, instead allegedly traveling to his granddaughter's graduation. Biden was slated to deliver a keynote address at the National Fraternal Order of Police's (FOP) National Peace Officers Memorial Service on Monday as the week honoring our nation’s law enforcement officers kicked off. The president, however, pulled out of the event seemingly at the last minute — his name had already been printed on the event program — and Attorney General Merrick Garland was sent in Biden's stead.

VIDEO"Devastating to the FBI!" That not just some evil monster MAGA person describing the newly released Durham Report. That description was provided by Jake Tapper. And the person most DEVASTATED so far by the Durham Report appears to be MSNBC's Frank Frank Figliuzzi who looked so devastated while reacting to it that I thought he was about to burst out crying. Perhaps he was thinking that because he is a former Assistant FBI Director he might be facing a lot of legal consequences for the newly revealed FBI abuses.

Woo hoo! And we're now over 47% in our freepathon with less than $155 to go to reach 48%!

Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation – an inquiry into government corruption, lies to secret courts, the weaponization of the US intelligence apparatus, the FBI’s attempt to take down a sitting president – has concluded. The Durham Report has been released. Here are some of the main findings: “The FBI discounted or willfully ignored material information that did not support the narrative of a collusive relationship between Trump and Russia.”

Explanation: From afar, the whole thing looks like an eagle. A closer look at the Eagle Nebula, however, shows the bright region is actually a window into the center of a larger dark shell of dust. Through this window, a brightly-lit workshop appears where a whole open cluster of stars is being formed. In this cavity, tall pillars and round globules of dark dust and cold molecular gas remain where stars are still forming. Already visible are several young bright blue stars whose light and winds are burning away and pushing back the remaining filaments and walls of gas and...

As RedState previously reported, CNN’s New Hampshire town hall featuring 2024 GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump was a dumpster fire – not for the former president, who pretty much dominated the event, but for the struggling “news” network The event produced hurt feelings among what’s left of CNN’s viewers and infighting galore, with on-air meltdowns and conference calls where so-called “journalists” expressed their frustrations to CEO Chris Licht, who took a “move along, nothing here to see” approach to the controversy. Leading the way among the CNN staff pouters has been their media reporter Oliver Darcy, formerly the poodle-like sidekick...

People growing up in the city of Chicago have about a one in fifteen chance of being shot by the time they turn 40, results of a new survey suggest. Last weekend, at least 26 people in Chicago were shot, eight fatally, including three who were wounded while standing on a sidewalk and caught in the crossfire between two vehicles. That’s up from the 20 citizens who were shot, and the four killed by gunfire, the previous weekend. A new study finds that 6.46% (1 in 15) of Chicagoans had been shot by their 40th birthday. What’s more, half (50.0%)...

The House passed a sweeping border package Thursday that Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) said was the “strongest” legislation on the issue to ever come to the House floor for a vote. Emmer, speaking in an interview in his Capitol Hill office on Friday, detailed to Breitbart News how an eleventh-hour huddle with roughly three dozen members, just one day prior to the bill vote, was, in part, what led to the Secure the Border Act narrowly passing with two Republican defectors and no Democrat support.

The decline of California under one-party Democrat rule has been one of the long-running themes of this blog. Today Victor Davis Hanson discusses how California’s wealthy destroyed the middle class with policies whose baleful effects they knew wouldn’t fall on them.… “The irony is that, as we created more wealth and more leisure, because of the very success of the middle class citizen, the middle class citizen and his central role in western government was forgotten.” “California in the 1960s had the largest middle class in the United States. California had the finest educational system. California invented the idea of...

New documents that suggest Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin offered to give Russian troop positions to Kyiv puts further strain on his relations with Moscow. The Kremlin on Monday attempted to downplay an explosive new report suggesting Wagner Group mercenary leader Yevegeny Prigozhin told a Ukrainian intelligence service that he would give them the positions of Russian troops in exchange for withdrawing from the besieged city of Bakhmut. “It looks like another duck,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, employing a Russian idiom for a hoax or a media stunt, lamenting that a “respected news organization” would buy into it....

Brandon Johnson was sworn in Monday as Chicago’s 57th mayor with a promise to “write the story of our children’s and our grandchildren’s futures” by confronting the city’s enormous challenges in a way that summons, what he called the “soul of Chicago.” “What will that story say?
