“Doctor” Jill’s trillion-dollar
gift to the educational-industrial complex

Original Article

First Lady Jill Biden asked to be called “Doctor” after her husband was elected president. She’s not actually a doctor. She’s also not nearly as smart as one and so she thought the title made her look like she was, at least to stupid people who don’t know better. The justification for “Doctor” Jill’s request to be called a doctor was she has an EdD. That’s a doctoral degree in education. It’s a little like a PhD but much easier to obtain. No EdD in the entire universe could pass an introductory college chemistry or physics course.

Comments:

:"Featherbedding" is the right word. The edu-Industrial complex uses taxpayer money to reward teachers for buying additional degrees from the edu-industrial complex. Ah, but it's "for the children."

Colleges and universities have been sucking off the taxpayers for many years. There are few jobs that pay so well for so little work and so much time off for professors and administrators. Compare the cost of gasoline with that of college tuition over the past 50 years and its not even close; college tuition has skyrocketed. To get gasoline into your engine someone has to explore for oil, extract the oil, transfer the oil, refine the oil , transport the gas and then retail it in gas stations. To learn something in college all you need is a room with a professor, a chalkboard and a few desks. The obvious reason tuition has gone up so much is because the education industry has been in bed with the democrat party who transfers trillions of dollars to it in exchange for donations back to democrats and leftist indoctrination of students.

Years ago, while working in R&D for a major electronics company, one of my co-worker's wives graduated with a master's degree in education. He was understandably proud of her achievement and posted her master's thesis for all to see at his desk. I read through it - it was the rough equivalent of an 'okay' first semester research paper for a freshman engineering student.

"Dr" Jill's dissertation may still be on line. Look it up. There is a mis-spelling in the first paragraph - students are undeserved v underserved. It painstakingly states the obvious such a colleges should provide a learning environment. There is a survey of 52 but only 49 results. It is double spaced making it appear robust and a large portion is glossary. It is obvious that no one even did a serious proof read. It is a Senator's Mrs degree.

A person with intellectual strength and integrity might write a fine Ed.D. thesis but this is rare. "Dr." Jill's might qualify for a sophomore project but it lacks any indication that the author has reached a deeper understanding of anything. It is embarrassing, as low quality as the dissertation written by Rod Paige (Houston, Tx and G.W. Bush's secretary of education.). At least Rod went on to show leadership in education but his dissertation was a joke. As I recall, he he did a simple "experiment" that involved recording the results of timed sprints of a few athletes. Anything to fulfill the requirement for a "dissertation." Jill Biden reminds me of the wealthy suburban teachers I've known who wanted to retire with a Ph.D. Unfortunately there were administrators and professors at my university who were happy to oblige them. I made a couple of them rewrite portions of their dissertations and you can be sure I can still hear them snarling at me. Ramona (the Pest)

Well, I'm surprised at myself. I agree that a Doctor of Education degree doesn't impress me much, but I have to defend the administrators I've worked with the past twelve years in inner city schools. (I'm a Navy JROTC instructor.) In that environment, they work long hours and like sled dogs and have to deal with too many feral kids. If you haven't spent some time in a school like that, you've no idea how frustrating it can be to be a warden instead of a teacher. I could go on, not defending their bogus education degrees, but the crap they have to put up with. At my school, about a dozen teachers left after last year, and three have quit already after two weeks. Home school if you can.

“My body, my choice” is a favorite slogan of abortion advocates. It’s thin gruel. To the extent this slogan is an analysis and not just a chant, it assumes the conclusion. It assumes that a fetus anywhere from hours old to nearly born is simply owned in a legal property sense by the mother in whom it resides. But that’s the whole question, right? That question is not answered by just determining the location of the fetus. If it were, then a mother wrapping her arms around her baby or toddler or husband could make the same argument; “My body, my choice.”

The old news of the leak of Justice Alito’s draft opinion last May overruling Roe v. Wade has now been swamped by the new news of the Supreme Court’s final opinion a month later. That final opinion, almost identical to Alito’s draft and joined by five of the nine Justices, held that Roe was wrong. As a matter of fact and law, the Constitution never mentions, alludes to, or implies a Constitutional right to abortion. (Notice my use of the word “abortion” to identify abortion. Because “abortion” has a bad connotation, advocates of it seek to rebrand or euphemize the procedure with wooly obscurity like

Britain was blessed, cursed and obsessed with a controversial politician named Boris Johnson who had a good brain and mostly good policies but a bad personality. For the latter, he’s been canned. His own crew have jumped ship, effectively dragging their captain overboard with them. Don’t feel sorry for Johnson. He’s a bit of an jerk, he got caught up in some ridiculous little scandals, he got very little backing from his friends whom he backed very little in their own times of need, he had a habit of saying attention-grabbing but inappropriate things, he’s a second-rate womanizer, and he has funny hair. Sound familiar?

After the Supreme Court’s decision saying that abortion is a matter for state legislatures to sort out, and not something addressed by the Constitution, the hard-left mayor of Chicago in a public speech spat “f*** Clarence Thomas!” (Days later, this same Democrat mayor bemoaned the toxicity of current political discussions.) Note that this is not some bomb-throwing, Antifa/Democrat hoodlum, but is the mayor of one of the biggest cities in America. (OK, I’ll admit that she could be both.) The mayor didn’t bother to tell us what part of the Constitution guarantees abortion on demand. But, no matter.

The Aspen Times months ago published a thinly supported story suggesting that one of the local billionaires was in league with Vladimir Putin. The billionaire filed suit against the newspaper for defamation. The newspaper wanted to settle the case. Meanwhile, the newspaper was recently bought by a family-owned group of several dozen small newspapers. Much of the family are Republicans, which may be the determinative fact in this story. The new owners asked that the newspaper staff refrain from commenting on the pending litigation while settlement talks were ongoing. That’s standard and prudent in legal proceedings.

For years, a public high school football coach made a practice of saying short prayers after football games. He prayed whether he won or lost. Some of his players typically joined in, and some didn’t. For that, he was fired. This has been a long drive for the left. It started on their own 2-yard line about two centuries ago with Karl Marx scorning the masses he pretended to champion by mocking their “opiate” of religion. Marx and his fellow travelers preferred the opiate of opiate.

Readers will remember the Aspen Times. They’re the little but old – venerable, we’re told – newspaper of Aspen. These days it’s a hard left rag in a hard left town of limousine liberals and the locals who both castigate and soak them to the shameless delight of all concerned. One of the frequent perks for Aspen Times employees, as for many other members of the ruling Aspen establishment, is taxpayer-subsidized housing for dimes on the dollars – often slopeside. I was the token conservative columnist with the Aspen Times for seven years. But I grew a little big for my britches.

It’s a biological fact that, generally speaking, males in relation to females are naturally larger, more physical, more ambitious, stronger, faster, cruder, stinkier, more competitive and hornier. Those traits are wired into them as tightly as the DNA in their Y chromosome, and are all awash in the testosterone hormone produced in their testicles. At times, those traits can be problematic. At other times, they can save the day, save the world, or save a child. But men are out of fashion these days. Boys, too. Mind you,

I figured that Tom Cruise playing “Maverick” in the sequel to Top Gun would be all woke. He’d also be at least bi or gay, and probably trans. Look what Hollywood did to Star Wars. After all, something like 20% of attention starved, navel-gazing, influence-susceptible college students with too much time on their hands – I’m talking about the movie-going crowd – now “identify” (whatever that means) as something other than what used to be called “normal.” And is still called “normal” by statisticians, given that only 2% of the population at large fall outside that category.

Hollywood star Drew Barrymore has been accused of “racism” for posting a video of herself dancing in the rain on social media. The short video shows Barrymore filming herself laughing, dancing, and encouraging others to enjoy the pouring rain. However, leftists pounced on the video and argued that it’s “racist” because she’s “frolicking in the rain.” The accusation comes from a “woke” activist with the handle @amushroomblackly who posted a video response, that quickly went viral, and accused Barrymore of cultural insensitivity. “Whenever you can, go out into the rain,” Barrymore says in her video.

A plan to save migratory salmon by demolishing four hydroelectric dams on California’s Klamath River got backing from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Friday. FERC released the final version of the environmental impact statement evaluating the dam demolition plan. FERC commissioners will vote on whether or not to implement the plan later this year. The dam’s operators filed an application to surrender the Lower Klamath Hydroelectric Project on Nov. 17, 2020. The project rests on 400 acres of federal land in Oregon and California, and consists of the Copco 1, Copco 2, Iron Gate, and J.C. Boyle Dams.(Snip)These dams were originally licensed by FERC in 1954; new guidelines suggested

In the transition from gas-powered vehicles to electric, the fuel every automaker is after these days is cold hard cash. Established automakers and startups alike are rolling out new battery-powered models in an effort to meet growing demand. Ramping up production of a new model was already a fraught and expensive process, but rising material costs and tricky regulations for federal incentives are squeezing coffers even further. Prices of the raw materials used in many electric-vehicle batteries — lithium, nickel and cobalt — have soared over the last two years as demand has skyrocketed, and it may be several years before miners

It's only a day since we reported on California’s intention to outlaw sales of new combustion-engined vehicles from 2035, and already the ripples are being felt across the nation. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) that governs motor vehicle emissions for the state adopted new rules that will require 35% of the new cars sold in the state are electric or plug-in hybrids by 2026, with that percentage rising to 68% by 2030 and 100% by 2035. California has a waiver from the federal government to set its own air quality rules, and other states are allowed to opt into its regulations, which are typically more stringent than the national standards.
