TAKEOFF,
Boeing Starliner to Return Without Astronauts,
Boeing’s Starliner will be returning unmanned from the International Space Station, leaving the two astronauts it delivered into orbit at ISS until February.
NASA announced it would turn to Boeing-rival SpaceX to bring Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams home, extending their planned 8-day mission to about 8 months.
The decision to return Wilmore and Williams on a different craft was made out of concern for their safety, due to issues with Starliner’s propulsion system.
Kennedy Withdrawing from Swing State Ballots,
After suspending his bid for president and endorsing former President Trump, Robert Kennedy Jr. said he would seek to remove his name from ballots in ten battleground states where he might play the “spoiler” for Trump.
Kennedy has successfully removed himself from the Arizona and Pennsylvania ballots, but he’ll face challenges in Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin, at least.
As the nominee for the Natural Law Party, Kennedy can’t be removed from the Michigan ballot, according to state policies. Kennedy has also missed the deadline for withdrawing from Nevada’s ballot, and the Wisconsin Election Commission will vote this week on whether to accept Kennedy’s access filing.
List: Oldest Building in Every U.S. State,
A fascinating new list of the oldest building in every state follows the westward expansion of the nation, from 17-century stone buildings in the original colonies to 19th century log cabins west of the Mississippi.
The oldest inhabited structures actually date back to native Americans villages in the 12th century, including New Mexico’s Acoma Pueblo and the Cliff Palace in Colorado.
The oldest building from colonial times is believed to be Virginia’s Jamestown Church, built in 1639, along with Pennsylvania’s 1640 Swedish Cabin and Delaware’s Block House from 1654.
In the West, an assortment of log cabins, forts, ranches, and missions are among the oldest structures, dating from roughly 1810 through the 1850s.

And Now, A word From one of Our Sponsors,
Before we go let me tell you about one of the books found on my Bookstore,
Go to https:// payhip.com/ Christian NonFiction eBookStore then scroll down and click on One Year Bible King James Version
This is a One Year Bible of the King James Version. The reason I call it a one year Bible is because it divides the Bible into 366 portions (leap years added) so a person can start reading this Bible from the beginning and spend just 15 minutes a day and can read the entire Bible in one year. Make any KJV Bible an audio Bible. Go to https:// public domain audio bibles .com/KJV.html By downloading the audio files any KJV Bible can become an Audio Bible.
