republican here. I find it very interesting that Trump released the Kennedy files but he won't release the Epstein files. That to me tells me everything. Trump's name's gotta be all through them. Good thing I didn't vote for him. Never trusted him.

but you know how it is. Old equipment fails and so things gotta be scrapped such as SSTV and the like. It's really sad to think that they want to do away with the ISS itself even by I think it's 2027? Don't quote me on that.

I don't know if you know this but, their still using an old set of kenwood radios. That's what I found out when I used to be a part of the ARISS volunteer project back before my contact had to leave the team do to medical reasons. So their equipment is old. I'm sure it's maintained

one of the jobs of the President is to avoid shutdowns like this for the very reasons we are seeing in this country. If you think a shutdown makes the country stronger then you are 100 percent delusional. This hurts the economy and the people of this nation.
It ends with the President.
Thoughts?

does the parties play a crucial part in all of this? Absolutely yes. But, the buck's gotta stop somewhere and if you ask me, that somewhere is the President. Thus, regardless of party, when a shutdown happens under the president's administration, it is his or her fault. There's always disagreements.

stop paying the senators and congress and president and watch how quickly the government opens.

yep, got it. Did you see my latest project?

Oh sure he does. But only if he can get what he wants out of them.

the buck stops with the president. He's commander and chief. I know I have an unpopular view but there it is. This is not about party lines. Yes that plays into it but, there's more to it then that. The president should be in talks with everybody so as to bring this to a resolution.

The president does not control the judicial or legislative branches. However, he does have access to the senators and the congressman within those branches and he is being ridiculous and saying he will only meet with them after the government reopens. That’s not how a president is to operate.

No. Trump should be talking with the senators and congress to come to a resolution. This isn't a party issue, it's a presidential issue. If the government shutdown would happen under Biden, I would blame him just like I blame Trump.

How do you mount the teliscope to the phone camera lends though?

I truthfully never thought that I as a blind person would be able to get into movie making, photo taking, I tell you what, if I could make money doing this stuff, I so totally would do it. Taking videos, taking pictures, I just love it. Then putting it all together into a finished product? So cool!!

Or you get called out for supporting Trump even when you don't. Yeah, BlueSky can be wild.

Jesus is alive at the right hand of the Father. When he comes back for the Church, will he find faith upon the earth? Sometimes I wonder about that. Church, wake up. We must do better.

I'll close with this my dear friends. Usually the last words that somebody says is going to be their final wishes. You seek to honor those final wishes don't you? Of corse you do. So let us honor the final wishes of our Lord on earth before he ascended to be with the Father.

We are not to pick and choose what we will and won't obey in scripture. Now I know there's the old verses new testament argument but, that's not the point. We obey the moral laws of the old testament, not the ceremonial.
We must be about our Father's business. The truth must be shared.

I'm still working on that one. See, I hold the phone flat in my hand but, sometimes I could be walking and so the phone is more vertical. It will tell me if I am level as in left and right but, it doesn't do it for strait up and down.
