STOLEN “FRIES WITH THAT”: [4:36] – Are these people even capable of telling the truth? Like … ever?
STOLEN MILITARY VALOR: [14:22] – Military veterans explain how far short Tim Walz’s career fell from the “retired command sergeant major” rank he has claimed for years.
It reminds me of Jill Biden insisting on being called “Doctor” Biden when her actual degree is a piddly Doctor of Education. The EdD (or Ded) is “something of a joke in the academic world.” It is nowhere near as rigorous as even a PhD in Education … never mind a PhD in something actually hard, like Physics.
I used to do a lot of typing back in the olden days before everyone had a personal computer. One of the three doctoral dissertations I typed was in Physics. The author had spent seven years doing the original research for it. I understood most of the first paragraph. Everything after that went way over my head. And, at my tenth high school reunion, I had dinner with former classmate, Ursi Gibson, who told me she had finished her PhD in Physics that afternoon.
At https://engineering.dartmouth.edu/community/faculty/ursula-j-gibson#, her “Research Interests” are listed as “Electromagnetic properties of nanoscale materials; materials science; properties of periodic structures in reduced dimensions and small length scales; Langmuir-Blodgett and vapor deposition of optical coatings; protein crystal growth; nanoparticle and nanowire growth.”
By comparison, Jill Biden’s “doctoral” joke of a “dissertation”, which is called “Student Retention at the Community College: Meeting Students’ Needs” apparently contains nothing approaching real scholarship. The author linked below says that, “to call [it] thin gruel is an insult to gruel.” I didn’t read the whole paper cuz it would have cost money and I can’t care. But according to the author linked below, the sum total of her recommendations for improving student retention is to build a student center and increase counseling and mentoring services. She presents zero evidence that either could or would be effective.
If you care to read two truly scathing reviews (by the same guy), click the links. Just one acidic paragraph reads, “Jill Biden’s dissertation is not an addition to the sum total of human knowledge. It is not a demonstration of expertise in its specific topic or its broad field. It is a gasping, wheezing, frail little Disney forest creature that begs you to notice the effort it makes to be the thing it is imitating while failing so pathetically that any witnesses to its ineptitude must feel compelled, out of manners alone, to drag it to the nearest podium and give it a participation trophy. Which is more or less what an Ed.D. is. It’s a degree that only deeply unimpressive people feel confers the honorific of ‘Doctor.’”
