Rural schools are perfectly positioned for astronomy education (they have darker skies!)

But they often lack funding, broadband and STEM staff.

A Smithsonian project to give telescopes to schools is helping to change that.
Rural areas have darker skies but fewer resources for students interested in astronomy – telescopes in schools can help
Stargazing can stimulate an interest in space in kids and lead to a passion for science. But rural schools often lack the resources to nurture these interests.

Nobody – especially those who served – voted for our men & women in uniform to be sent overseas to fight for oil. 

Draft-dodging Donald gets more out of touch every day – and it’s the American people who are paying the price.

I just wrote an article about this and decided not to publish it yet. It is in the DOJ files (file got renamed after originally published and taken down. It’s online now). But too many unknowns about whether the letter itself is real or not. Some additional info though:
DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."
