Gonzaga University has decided to crowdfund a scholarship for illegal immigrant students at the school.

Gonzaga initially proposed the scholarship during the 2016-2017 school year and involved a $2.50 tuition hike that all students would pay unless they chose to opt-out. Gonzaga promoted the scholarship in its morning newsletter. In April 2018, the funding for the scholarship shifted from a tuition hike to students trying to get private donations to fund the scholarship.  Continue reading “Gonzaga finds a way to fund illegal immigrant scholarships”

No 5G

Governments and corporations around the world seem to indicate that mankind has arrived at historic crossroads. While we would certainly welcome such a development we would also like to, first, test the accuracy of this assumption. Whether or not it is based on a foundation that reality and society provide at this very moment.

One realistic and efficient way to do so is by introducing two solutions for what is unilaterally being pushed upon the international community and the planet: the launching and putting into orbit of up to 25,000 satellites, as the space-based backbone of a global internet communication system. To realize a global “5G grid”.  Continue reading “International Council on a Space-Based Internet Communication System – Initial Deployment of up to 25,000 Communication Satellites”

Sadly, we can’t say we’re surprised.

Driven by the high costs of higher education and the absurdly high cost of living in California, a recent survey revealed a stunning figure: Nearly 20% of Community College students in America’s most populous state are homeless.

Whether they’re sleeping in their cars, or crashing on couches, or are among the growing number of California’s “unsheltered” homeless, some 19% responded to a survey of community college students saying they either didn’t have a place to live, or were simply crashing or living in their vehicles.  Continue reading “20% Of California Community College Student Are Homeless, Study Finds”

I have been studying the traits and dispositions of the lower animals (so-called), and contrasting them with the traits and dispositions of man. I find the result humiliating to me. For it obliges me to renounce my allegiance to the Darwinian theory of the Ascent of Man from the Lower Animals; since it now seems plain to me that the theory ought to be vacated in favor of a new and truer one, this new and truer one to be named the Descent of Man from the Higher Animals.  Continue reading “The Damned Human Race by Mark Twain”
