    Gregory,
    You did not click on the link I provided. It read:
    … is research professor of physics at the University of Redlands in Redlands, California, and formerly a visiting scientist in the department of radiation sciences at Uppsala University, Sweden. He received a BS (University of Redlands), MS and PhD (University of Minnesota) in physics, and an MA (Fuller Theological Seminary) in biblical studies and theology.
    His physics research interests are in experimental nuclear physics, and he has done postdoctoral research at UCLA. While teaching at the University of Redlands he has continued his nuclear research at UCLA, the University of Manitoba, University of California Davis, and currently at Uppsala University. … has published more than fifty articles in physics research journals.
    Recently his interests have shifted to the area of science and Christian faith, and between 1995 and 2005 he taught a number of science and theology courses at the University of Redlands and Fuller Theological Seminary. His courses at Redlands and Fuller have resulted in two Templeton Foundation prizes. He is the general editor of Science & Christianity: Four Views (InterVarsity Press, 2000), as well as the author of a number of articles appearing in nuclear physics research journals and theological journals.”

    You read it here first Proggys!
    https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2019/02/16/networks-refuse-cover-senates-no-russia-collusion-report/
    “The Media Research Center (MRC) did the research and found that between January 21, 2017, and February 10, 2019, “ABC’s World News Tonight, the CBS Evening News, and the NBC Nightly News [spent] 2,202 minutes on the Russia investigation [, which] accounted for nearly 19 percent of all Trump-related reporting [, and now] none of those three shows have even mentioned the investigation since NBC’s report came out on February 12.”
    The same is true elsewhere on the left-wing networks.
    “Neither CBS This Morning nor NBC’s Today have even acknowledged this new information from Senate investigators since the news broke on February 12,” MRC reports. “ABC’s Good Morning America briefly touched on it in a news brief totaling less than one minute on February 13.”
    What’s especially fascinating is that NBC’s Ken Dilanian broke the original news of the Senate report, and NBC is still refusing to cover the story.”
    I bet even KVMR spiked the story.

    Well, most surprisingly results still do matter. The math test scores may suck, but at least the students and educators feel good about themselves.
    “While the solemnity has remained, a few days later, Pettengill added a bit of optimism, at least with regards to the future of the school’s students. The tests, he said, are not the things that will define them.

    Look at the new definition of “voter suppression”.
    “What we do know is that in the state of Georgia, four black men and women stood in line for four hours to cast a vote. That’s a poll tax,” she said, referencing a long-outlawed practice some U.S. jurisdictions used to keep poor and minority citizens from voting. “When you have to sacrifice four hours of work on the off-chance that you make it through and get to cast a ballot, that’s a poll tax.”

    Since Alphabet is essentially an arm of the Deep State (or visa versa), I suppose that that makes sense.
    I like this sentence:
    “The company is planning to make Toronto’s eastern waterfront into a smart city that will be more affordable and sustainable.”
    I like the term ‘smart city’ . I think that it means, ‘lots of coffeeshops, bike paths, and surveillance cameras. Not many people of color allowed except for maybe some peaceable Asians’.
    Well, that and lots and lots of highly directed advertising.

    Actually, I did NOT take the sandbox away from ToddJ. Any blogger can run a sandbox; I just take some small credit (perhaps erroneously) for having invented the sandbox concept for blogs. ToddJ contacted me and recommended that I instead of he continue running the sandbox – reluctantly I agreed. I would still encourage anyone else within earshot (eyeshot?) to start and maintain an open forum sandbox. If it catches on, I would shut down RR’s sandbox in a heartbeat.

    George-
    One of the reasons Todd couldn’t run a successful sandbox is that he was shutting down contributors left and right (okay, mostly left). What was left standing was an echo chamber reverberating with Todd’s own “ilk”. It was a failed concept because of a failed moderator, just as Dragonsbreathe and Pelline’s sites are now. Not many clicks when there isn’t much controversy. It takes a lively conversation and not just a passel of yes men or attaboys to roil up a good conversation.

    You again fail to see your glaring error.
    You wrote he received “a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Redlands”.
    Redlands does not award Ph.D.’s in ANYTHING. They do have an Ed.D. program.
    Now, reread the snippet I did read before you posted it here, and pay attention to the sentence that reads “MS and PhD (University of [placename deleted]) in physics”. Hint: the placename deleted is NOT Redlands.

    “I think it’s unfortunate that they chose that kind of theme only because of the atmosphere we are living in now,” Julie Berghaus, of Cleveland, told Fox 8.
    “For kids, it’s just fun, but they don’t realize what they are being taught subconsciously,” added Berghaus.

    Gregory. A sad day for us. A quick eulogy to Pat Caddell, 68:years young.
    It was Pat’s research that told me Trump would win three to four weeks weeks out even though Pat was most perplexed that even though the voter anger had not gone anywhere, it had yet to show up in the polling. Voters not broke yet, three weeks to go and a 1 in 4 chance of Trump winning. Maybe less.
    Pat’s polling and asking the right questions (with more listening than asking) revealed the true essence of the 2016 elections. The voters not only felt America was heading in the wrong direction, but for the first time in history Americans felt they were leaving the next generation a country worse off than the America the current generation inherited. Pat knew of the unspoken pact of the American Dream…that it is the duty of the current generation to pass down to their children a better life and better America than that which was handled down to them. Pat said at the time the voters feel that “There will always be a United States, but there may not be alway be a ‘America’. Bingo. That’s why Make America Great Again was not a slogan, it was a call to the unspoken pact between generations, IMHO. A call to arms for preserving our Great Union called America.
    Oh, the media pundits laughed and even ridiculed the notion as ridiculous that Trump was wasting his time even going to Pennsylvania for campaign stops, not to mention Michigan or Wisconsin. How absurd. Big laughs. What a novice. Campaign in disarray, falling apart.
    Pat knew, Trump knew. Pat had seen it before with Jimmy Carter. Carter way up in the polls with Reagen having no chance on the Friday before the Tuesday elections. It was Pat that had to break the news to Jimmy on the Sunday before Tuesday’s elections that he would not be the next President. Pat told Carter not to debate Reagen those last few days (literally) before the election. But no.
    I will miss you, Pat Caddell. You were right. You never left the Democrat Party, the Democrat Party left you.
    “He was a passionate man who wanted nothing more than to leave his grandchildren a better country.” The end.
