Looking for advice on a shareware program for video editing. Small project.

I'm trying to solve a problem with an iPhone/ Apple account for one of my relatives. The problem is her iPhone 6 constantly asks for Apple ID verification. She says he used to do that only occasionally but now it is persistent and constant. She doesn't remember her password and the email account that Apple has on record she no longer has access to. I tried clicking on the forgot my password. It does come up with a question you "Don't have access to the email account?" I clicked that and it is still is verifying to that email account...

Save Independence Day. It is clear to me that the left has embarked on a campaign to reduce Independence Day to nothing more than a meaningless "holiday". The push is to elevate Juneteenth to a holiday that is more meaningful. Over the last week I have noticed a concerted effort in the media to downplay Independence Day. Even a lot of conservative people are referring to it as the Fourth of July. Push back against this movement and only refer to it as Independence Day. Remember, those that control the language control the battle sphere.

Last night was our monthly prepping zoom call with preppers from all around the country participating. This group consists of about 300 preppers ranging from complete novices to grizzled veterans. Of course the subject of Ukraine/Russia conflict was the main point of discussion. The first speaker is a well-established prepper in the group who has family ties back to Ukraine. His report was sobering. He has family in various parts of Ukraine that he has managed to stay in touch with you during this almost 2 week crisis. It is his take that people that are in the cities are...

Random music thread. What you got? I feeling a little cranky today.

Albuquerque FReepers; we are taking a necessary road trip that requires an overnight in your fair city. Can you please recommend a safe, good, pet friendly motel/hotel in the area. We will be traveling West to East on I40. Thank you in advance.

Every phone and TV in the house just lit up with a "Weekly Test" of the EBS. This usually happens on Wednesday Morning. First time it has lit up every device.

Season 5 of The Expanse has started on Prime. New episodes released on Wednesday. Three episodes are released as of this posting. The quality of the sets, the camera work and the special effects is/are outstanding.

I received a visit from the step daughter of a distant relative last week. My distant cousin died after a short bout with lung cancer in July. He became religious in the last five years of his life and had embarked on a quest to right the wrongs that he believed he had committed during his life. He made a list of those wrongs. This includes thing(s) he feels that he did that were damaging to other people as well as restitution for petty theft(s) he committed in his younger days. It was a death bed request to the daughter...

Long slow roller.

Pretty good commercial. Not sure of the source.

Some Things I Learned Watching Live PD: Make sure the lights on the rear of your vehicle are working at all times. Wearing your seatbelt saves you from a traffic stop. Which can lead to further complications. Can’t out run from the cops on foot or in a vehicle unless you have a motorcycle. If you have to hold your pants up when you’re walking there’s no way you can outrun the cops on foot. Running from the cops because you have a traffic warrant will only cost you more money and time, probably in jail. Make sure your baby...

There used to be a Friday music thread on FR. Haven't seen it for sometime so here is a starter.

What the title says.

Any knowledgeable FReepers about Wisconsin engine(s)? I have a 4 cylinder old engine that I need to sell or send to scrap. Runs but probably needs rebuilding. I think it is a model 4G4D. Don't want to scrap it if it is a useful thing to someone. Pour some gas into it and it runs - amazing since it hasn't been started in 10 years.

Carly FioRINO surfaces on FBN. She is talking political "common ground". Trying to sounds like the voice of reason. She is running(or at least thinking about it).

FFDP released a video supporting the blue line. If you don't get please just move on. If you do get it pass it around.

The erasing of John Wayne from the history books has started. I loaded up on DVD's of his movies before they become no longer available. My local Wal-Mart doesn't carry them anymore, so I went online. When garage sales start back up The Duke's videos will be a priority purchase for my household.
