"Doctor" Jill Biden is Neither a Doctor, Nor a Jill, Nor a Biden. Discuss.
As for Jill Biden not really being a Biden, check out this Benny Johnson video, in which he flashes back to 2020. I completely forgot about this -- Jill Biden's first husband said in 2020 that Jill and Joe were both cheating on their respective spouses with each other. Joe Biden's wife was later killed in a collision in which she was at fault, but Joe keeps claiming she was killed by a "truck driver who drank his lunch."
Jill Biden was Joe Biden's babysitter. Also, Jill Biden's husband was Joe's friend and political donor. Good Old Joe decided to have a sexual affair with his wife. It sure sounds like Joe was on the way to divorcing her had she not been tragically killed. About the "doctor" business: The left is trying to cancel Megyn Kelly (again) because she points out that Dr. Jill Biden is not a doctor. But her insistence on being called "doctor" is pathological. Lefties are shrieking in response to her doubling down on refusing to call "Doctor" Jill Biden "doctor." See the comments. Lefties have never heard such an outrage. And also, these "journalists." You semi-remember David Shuster and Roland Martin, right? I mean -- vaguely?Hey @megynkelly, on behalf of everybody who has a phd, or knows somebody who has one and can appreciate the tireless years of work it takes to research, write, and defend a dissertation, go f*ck yourself. https://t.co/OP6lapFn6a

Let me be REAL clear: @megynkelly is TRASH for this tweet. NO CLASS. A PhD IS a real title. In journalism, we typically only call medical doctors by that title. But elsewhere, it is used. I guess Megyn is such a hater that she likely wouldn’t say Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. https://t.co/X6eWXdHwPz

Yes, let's start with the principle that if you have earned an Ed.D., you have a "doctorate." Even if you have a poorly written, inconsequential mess of a position paper that earned you that degree from a school connected to your husband.More on that position paper later.
Even accepting that academic, non-medical "doctors" are still doctors, Jill Biden is not even that. She's not a Ph.D. She got an easy-peasy Ed.D. and she didn't even have to write a doctoral thesis. A doctoral thesis is the concluding act of obtaining a Ph.D. -- it's an original piece of academic scholarship that advances the field. Very often, a Ph.D.s doctoral thesis becomes his first published book.
But normally outside of academia, it was considered pretentious to insist on people calling you "Dr." and that's what I think Kelly is saying there. The funny thing about this is that it was the general policy of much of the media in the past not to refer to anyone even with a Ph.D. as a "Dr.," much less an Ed.D. That was reserved for medical doctors, dentists, and the like. As the Los Angeles Times wrote back in 2009 when they were writing about Jill Biden (but could still be honest about her and Joe):As the Times noted, they wrote how Joe said Jill wanted to get the doctorate because she felt she was "second-class" when the mail was addressed to "Sen. and Mrs. Biden." That says so much about her right there. It wasn't to achieve more in her field, it was to ease her psyche about feeling inferior. Which is why she wants everyone to call her the title now.
Newspapers, including The Times, generally do not use the honorific "Dr." unless the person in question has a medical degree. "My feeling is if you can't heal the sick, we don't call you doctor," said Bill Walsh, copy desk chief for the Washington Post's A section and the author of two language books.
So a Ph.D. is required, essentially, to write a publishable book of original scholarship to become a "doctor." Doctoral dissertations are notoriously difficult to write -- or, at least, to finish. Ph.D. candidates will often finish six or seven years of higher learning, but then languish as they're not able to complete their serious, publishable original scholarly research thesis. A lot of Ph.D. candidates wind up calling themselves "ABD" for a number of years, which means "All But Dissertation." So the dissertation is a significant undertaking, and one that some Ph.D. students never even complete. So did "Doctor" Jill write such a doctoral thesis? No, of course not. She wrote, essentially, a short high school term paper, and an error-riddled one at that.
Kyle Smith then wrote about "Doctor" Jill's doctorate-worthy high school term paper. She didn't have to write a Ph.D. dissertation, of course, because she was never a Ph.D. candidate. She was seeking the far-less-stringent degree of "Ed.D.," or education doctorate.
Insisting on being called "Doctor" when you don't heal people is, among most holders of doctorates, seen as a gauche, silly, cringey ego trip. Consider "Dr." Jill Biden, who doesn't even hold a Ph.D. but rather a lesser Ed.D., something of a joke in the academic world. President-elect Joe Biden once explained that his wife sought the degree purely for status reasons: "She said, 'I was so sick of the mail coming to Sen. and Mrs. Biden. I wanted to get mail addressed to Dr. and Sen. Biden.' That's the real reason she got her doctorate," Joe Biden has said. Mrs. Biden wanted the credential for its own sake. As for its quality, well. She got it from the University of Delaware, whose ties to her husband, its most illustrious alumnus if you don't count Joe Flacco, run so deep that it has a school of public policy named after him. That the University of Delaware would have rejected her 2006 dissertation as sloppy, poorly written, non-academic, and barely fit for a middle-school Social Studies classroom (all of which it is) when her husband had been representing its state in the U.S. Senate for more than three decades was about as likely as Tom Hagen telling Vito Corleone that his wife is a fat sow on payday. The only risk to the University of Delaware was that it might strain its collective wrist in its rush to rubber-stamp her doctoral paper. Mrs. Biden could have turned in a quarter-a**ed excuse for a magazine article written at the level of Simple English Wikipedia and been heartily congratulated by the university for her towering mastery. Which is exactly what happened. 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." People who are actually smart understand that being in possession of a credential is no proof of intelligence.
Insipid writing, typos, faulty language, weak research . . . it's all there. To call Jill Biden's dissertation thin gruel is an insult to gruel. ... Mrs. Biden's only original research consists of interviews with two -- that's right, two -- ex-students and a few colleagues at Delaware Technical Community College, where she used to teach, plus the results of a vacuous questionnaire she wrote that was returned by about 150 people who worked or studied there. Oh, and she also called two nearby community colleges seeking interviews about their retention rates. One of them wouldn't answer the question; the other wouldn't assign anyone to speak to her at all. >b>Telling us about this misadventure serves no academic purpose, though it does fill up four pages of her generously spaced paper. The transcripts of her group chats with campus figures and colleagues take up nearly 30 pages out of 129. The questionnaires eat up another 18 pages. The dissertation, Student Retention at the Community College: Meeting Students' Needs, shimmers with the wan, term-papery feel of middle school, although in defense of today's middle schoolers, they at least know how to use spell-checking software, unlike Mrs. Biden. Her 2006 paper notes that at Delaware Tech, her then-employer, a third of students dissolve into the ether every year, and in order to pad out her micron-thin proposals, none of which have anything to support them except her beliefs and anecdotal evidence (she suggests building a student center and beefing up the "Wellness Center" while increasing counseling and mentoring services), she shovels in piles of drivel. Opinions will differ on which of her efforts is of least value, but a strong contender presents itself at the moment when she reaches over for the course catalog on her desk and quotes at length from page two of its boilerplate introduction ("The College respects and cares for students as individuals and maintains a friendly an open institution which welcomes all students and supports their aspirations for a better life"). She follows up on this meaningless prattle by reiterating it in her own insipid words: "Responding to the current social and economic morés of the new millennium, Delaware Tech's mission has adapted to meet the needs and goals of today's students."If she means "mores" -- which maybe she doesn't, because I've never heard of mores describing economic habits, but exclusively to moral/cultural standards -- then she should know, it is not written with an accent. I don't think that will turn out to be her worst error, unfortunately.
Biden's landfill of a paper contains potted histories of things everybody already knows, awkwardly phrased banalities ("Community colleges offer a myriad of support," "As a community college, Delaware Tech mirrors the national profile of a community college," "the unique nature of the classroom allows for a complexity of problems as well"), and childlike repetition ("This reason is one of many reasons that support the need for a campus psychologist.")"Myriad" refers to countable nouns, not uncountable ones. It is defined as a "great number," not a "great amount." You'd say you have a great amount of an uncountable thing, not a great number of it.* You can have a myriad of reasons not to call her "doctor." If you're referring to something uncountable, you could say you have an excess of moral objection to calling her "doctor." "Myriad" is a word she is clearly not comfortable using, and perhaps has never used before, but think it sounds "smart."
... The typos and other miscues begin in the second sentence of Mrs. Biden's introduction ("The needs of the student population are often undeserved [sic], resulting in a student drop-out rate of almost one third") unless you count the table of contents, in which Biden misspells the word "questionnaire." Easing into her subject, she churns through the reader's time with undisguised filler such as block quotations of her then-employer's mission statement, press-release blather ("Today, the community college not only answers the needs of transfer students but has also emerged to address the needs of career education, vocational and technical education, contract training, and community services"), and cutaways to comparable low-impact thoughts on community colleges taken from the very small stack of books she skimmed: "B.S. Hollinshead, president of a junior college in Pennsylvania, wrote that the junior college should be 'a community college meeting community needs.' (Cohen & Brawer, 2003, p. 20)." You don't say. "Dr. George F. Zook, president of the American Council on Education in 1946, echoed Hollinshead's sentiments . . ." and so on.But she's a Real Doctor you guys. The Real Journalists of the media say so.
Etymology Fun: By the way, the second definition of myriad gives a specific definition of how great a number it is: A myriad is ten thousand. Did you know that? I sure didn't. From wiktionary.org:
I think they mean that you don't have to -- and perhaps shouldn't -- say "a myriad animals," but can/should just say "myriad animals."
Etymology From French myriade, from Late Latin myriadem (accusative of myrias), from Ancient Greek (murias, "number of 10,000"), from (murios, “numberless, countless, infinite"). ... Noun myriad (plural myriads) (historical) Ten thousand; 10,000 [from 16th c.]
A countless number or multitude (of specified things) [from 16th c.] Earth hosts a myriad of animals. Usage notes
Used as an adjective (see below), 'myriad' requires neither an article before it nor a preposition after. Because of this, some consider the usage described in sense 2 above, where 'myriad' acts as part of a nominal (or noun) group (that is, "a myriad of animals"), to be tautological.

I have a STEM PhD from an Ivy League university, for which I worked 60 hours a week for four years, had to have two prelims, one of which was the proposal of a new research project, then a dissertation. A lot of people quit in the process or couldn't pass the grad-level courses or failed their prelims.
No one I know who took this path and succeeded demands to be called "Doctor". But the sillier and more superficial the major, the more likely is the demand.

My former (retired) boss had PhD, but I usually just called him by his first name. In occasional settings, I would introduce him as "Dr.", as a complimentary honorific.
My later boss also had a PhD in Chemistry, and was quite a smart, quick witted guy. I don't think I ever called him "Dr.", and he never expected it.
Years ago, I worked for small specialty chemical company, and the owner/president was PhD (in Chemistry). We all called him "Doc". Everybody in the company called him "Doc". Nobody called him by his first name, Marvin.

They lured a few celebrities into a hotel stay under the auspices of some conference. They then proceeded to take the celebs to less-than-premiere rooms, where the amenities were revealed to be less and less swanky. Naturally, the celebs got in their eyerolls and loud sighs and "Let me call my manager" quips in.
But then they tried it on Fred. He kept saying, "Oh, that's okay." Unfazed by disappointment after disappointment. The coup de grace being no tv in the room. "That's okay. I was just planning on reading anyway." Finally, Peter Funt ended the gag, breaking in on Mr. Rogers, and telling him how exasperated he was trying to ruffle Fred's feathers.
Instead of being an occasion for laughs, Fred Rogers's unflappable decency made the show a beautiful teachable moment.
Jill's no Mr. Rogers.

Where I went to undergrad, "Dr." was used for adjuncts with PhDs. Adjuncts with Masters degrees went by "Mr." or "Ms". "Professor" was reserved for tenured faculty, though a lot of students just called everyone "Professor" and usually got away with it.
Where I went to grad school, the instructor in charge of a class (but not, say, a TA) was called "Professor", regardless of degree or tenure status. Graduate students were permitted to call tenured faculty by their given names, but undergrads were not.
It's never been appropriate for a PhD (much less an EdD) to use "Doctor" in a social setting, only in an academic setting, and not always then.
I understand that the University of Chicago is super pissy about this... you're not allowed to call professors by their first name until you, yourself, have a PhD in hand.

One, your dissertation advisor is the one that schedules the defense--if your dissertation is not up to snuff for the defense--it is not scheduled. It reflects badly on dissertation advisor to have the defense go badly.
Second, even if the defense goes forward--it is usual for revisions to be requested by the committee. Major revisions usually require the committee members to sign off on, minor revisions only require your dissertation advisor.
Then, there are the various formatting, submission, and other such requirements in order to complete it. The common guideline though is that everything has to be completed by ten years and a lot of people fail to get their dissertations done either from a poor dissertation committee, malfeasance by the advisor, or simply burnout as a dissertation requires developing the whole package and then writing it up. It is a boring tedious process that simply cannot be reduced to cookbook checklist completion and the process is usually worse when you depart from objective measures such as statistics, etc. into areas like theory.

An Ed.d is only slightly a lamer than a DNP, which a BSN with no real word experience can achieve online in 14 months with only 600 hours of clinical exposure and most of the classes are horseshit entomology and paper writing, and suddenly describe themselves as " doctor " and prescribe class 2 scheduled medications unlimited without any supervision and proceed to kill you and your loved ones with no consequences... A few of them are really outstandingly good, former ER or ICU nurses with years of real world experience and are damn good providers and if you've got one you are damn lucky, hang on to them.
Most are AWFL karens that parade their " doctor " title and will kill you dead with their willful ignorance. Run away, run away...

I take that back, a bit. Undergraduates used to refer to me as "Dr." or "Professor," as did grad students who didn't know me. In either case, it wasn't at my urging.
I used to refer to my Ph.D. supervisor that way, but hell, he had a Nobel Prize. So, fair enough. Although even in his case he never insisted on it; it just seemed appropriate. Once when I was in his office the President - of the U.S. - called him.

I wonder if that's similar to other professional degrees like M.Arch or MFA.

My advisor had a rule that dissertations should be not much more than 100 pages (mine was 120). Another professor would name an arbitrary figure; one poor guy got 350 pages.

Really depends on the field. Mathematics PhDs are usually the shortest but they begin in English and then suddenly become all Greek until the conclusion where --"thus is proved......" I think natural sciences is dependent on the work--less pages for pure experimental, more so for purely theory. Social sciences also follow that bifurcation--shorter page count when statistics and other objective methods are used and longer when they are not.

You come in so prepared that you can knock anything back.
It's rare, but I've seen it happen once. The social work candidate came in, presented her work on male vs. female attitudes on work environments. My father was the non-departmental college representative and asked the question, "I see the work and survey on female subjects. Where is the work for the male subjects."
Her: "Oh, we didn't survey them."
Q: "Why?"
Her: "Everyone knows their opinion."
At which point the defense was shut down "for lack of scientific rigor" and the candidate failed. Last time my dad was allowed to be a non-departmental representative in the social work area.
The candidate did eventually graduate, but she had to rewrite the whole dissertation and defend it again. The whole episode raised a fair bit of quiet mirth and cemented the college of social work's reputation.

I believe that several people who made a practice of documenting that plagiarism eventually had to flee Russia.
This is from a 2017 "dissertation" from the Russian Minister of Culture:
In fact, the Russian people, in comparison with foreigners, were real nondrinkers. After all, they were allowed to drink alcohol only a few days a year, during four large church holidays. Foreigners, on the contrary, drank soundly and daily.
and
I believe that after all the catastrophes that struck Russia in the twentieth century, beginning with First World War I and ending with the “perestroika”, the fact that Russia is still preserved and developing, says that our people have an extra chromosome.
Hey, at least those statements probably weren't plagiarized!

In Europe, only MD/DO are referred to as " doctor ". All other PhD level professionals are referred to as " professor ". A very highly respected and esteemed title. In many programs the professors are actually more highly ranked than the doctors, as in Europe and Eastern Europe you can finish with just a 6-year degree as a doctor. To be a consulting specialist you often have to go on to get a PhD through a fellowship.

The Minister of Culture dissertation attracted attention, since some faculty actually tried to block it.
OTOH:
Of 2,034 Dissertation Councils in the country, 382 approved 1,486 falsified dissertation theses. The Council of Moscow State Pedagogical University was the “champion,” it approved 232 dissertations that contained plagiarism, the council of the Russian Academy of State Service that reports to President Vladimir Putin has the second place, approving 182 falsified dissertations, and Tambov State University has the third place, 126 false dissertations. Although some of these 382 councils have already been closed, such councils as the Dissertation Council on Economy of the Ural State Agrarian University continues to approve dissertations with plagiarism (40 dissertations).
Of course, which is worse, a plagiarized Russian history dissertation, or an American Ph.D. in "gender studies"?

Something you might not know is that "graduate education" for teachers is a laughingstock. It's a complete grift. School districts bump pay based on degrees, so colleges of education turn into diploma mills. It's also why you see tons of "Ed.D" degrees.
How much of a diploma mill is it? Look at the average GPA of most graduate schools in education. I believe that at the last school where I taught the college of education's graduate school GPA was over 3.95, meaning someone, somewhere got an A- once.

Never do they have to ever do anything but double down; absolutely no apologies, contrition or accountability whatsoever.
It gets more and more amazingly blatant and arrogant and they just keep rolling their dice, knowing they can get away with just about literally anything. The more they get away with, the more they realize they have no boundaries.
Disgusting and shameful. But I guess that's like saying, "Gee, Al Capone was a pretty bad man."

I choose to believe the she found out about the affair AND what inappropriate things Biden was doing to their kids, got drunk, grabbed the kids on the car to flee the monstrosity, and accidentally got pancakes by a poor driver.
Who then had to deal with Biden accusing him of drunk driving all his life. And Biden got the kids all to himself and got to marry his side piece.

Re balloon.
The US had capability to launch a satellite before Sputnik but didn't because they knew Russia would make an international case about their security. The US was taken aback that Russia was able to launch, but also it was a big win for the US since it set the precedent that overflights in space were OK.
The same thing might be going on here where not shooting it down is a precedent that makes it harder for the chinese to complain about satellites or high altitude overflights, and you know they will complain as soon as they feel like it and use that as justification for shooting down our satellites.
Also, biden is a chicken shit on ccp payroll.

Mine was somewhat longer. The theory, writing, and pictures of the chip itself was mostly roughly 140 pages. And that was more than 35 years ago, so the theory behind the design needed a *lot* of explanation since neural networks were in their infancy at the time.
But the fact that it was meant as a neural network accelerator meant that I was expected to include some code showing how it worked. That blew it out almost 200 pages more since the key bits were nearly all assembler, documenting instructions, etc.

I think it is a test of their contingency in case there is a space war and all satellites are taken out.
They can probably produce these quicker than we can shoot them down and are testing them for use in WWIII. They are very concerned at Musk's demonstrated ability to launch hundreds of satellites, and they are far behind. Of course they would respond to that, and they have by trying to accelerate their launch capability, but that takes a lot of time and is not a sure thing.

But insisting on being *addressed* as "doctor" would be a bit like a lawyer insisting that he or she always have the "esquire" attached.

What, you don't expect a full professor to get his hands dirty, do you? Now I'm sure that if he had had a graduate assistant on the island, he could have told him how to fix the boat.

AWFL Jill Biden, Ed.D...bestest smarty pants evar.
Actual POC medical Ph.D Ben Carson, surgeon who separated twins... idiot.
Gotta love the lefty logic!
To be fair, covid kind of tarnished the luster of a medical degree. So many useful idiot totalitarians running around with medical degrees.

MDs, PhDs, EdDs, did not become lords and masters of America. If other people wish to voluntarily refer to them as Doctor out of respect for their education then so be it. If any of them are incensed you do not refer to them by their title it is because they believe they exist above your lowly station and you are not giving them their proper deference.

but imagine marrying a guy and think you have a dream life ahead. Then finding out who he is, and that he is abusing the kids. And about to become Senator and building power to become unstoppable. People have done much worse for lesser reasons.

They are waiting for it to get over Detroit so when the wreckage hits the ground, no one will notice the damage.

The plutonium fuel cell would probably double the life-expectancy of the Detroit population once it hit the ground and dispersed itself over a city block.

I appreciate it when people call me Dr. "Prolix" (with the caveat that I actually have a PhD in a real field). However, I always immediately tell them to refer to me as "Prolix."
Anyone that actually expects me to refer to them as "Dr." is pretentious.

******************
I don't follow. You got the law degree and passed the bar IN ORDER TO be able to legally call yourself...a lawyer. (And if you passed the CA Bar, Bravo!)
If someone asks you if you are a lawyer, do you deny it?
Does being a CA lawyer embarrass you?
Are you a "Lionel Hutt, Legal Torpedo to the Stars"?
In any case, as an ex-lawyer I have to say that I have NEVER heard anyone with a J.D. refer to him/herself as a Doctor. Unless he/she/it had an MD or PhD as well.
If I were you--I'd be more embarrassed by the SFGOTH thing. That Goth stuff is....so over. And BTW: Try using "Attorney". As in: "I'm a public attorney defending oppressed homeless street people" is *much* classier.

I found out last week that his doctorate is in philosophy! Wow, I am so relieved! If we are ever in an emergency we will make sure to call on him to get his philosophical take on things.

The Ed.Ds that I’ve known want their own kids to call them “Doctor”. It’s the doctorate to get if you’re a mediocrity with an inferiority complex.

One third of students do not drop out of community college because "their needs are underserved". Community college is not "COLLEGE", it is a part time post high school education system for kids that may not be ready for college, may not know if college is for them, or is only a part time devotion for them in the first place. All but the "college prep" portion of these reasons lend themselves, INHERENTLY, to drop outs.
The only way one third of community college students would NOT drop out every year, would be if you flat out paid them to go. And even then, a sizable number would still drop out. That is the very nature of community college.

Good summary. Spot on. I did one year to see if I was suited for college. I was. That and Sandhills CC was in the shank of the best golf courses in NC. Greens fees were free to students.
