Last updated on: February 15, 2016 at 9:26 am By JT Eberhard

A new study has found that about 31% of public school science teachers are including the opinions of people who contradict scientific experts as part of the course: One of the most striking findings: 30 percent of teachers said in the survey that they tell students that the current warming “is likely due to natural causes” — contradicting major scientific assessments of the matter. Thirty-one percent of teachers also said that they include both the scientific consensus position — that... Read more

This morning I’ll be the musical guest at Kansas City Oasis — and I made myself the warm up act.

A while back I was asked to return as a musical guest to Kansas City Oasis. I agreed, but emailed Helen Stringer to ask if, instead of me doing four songs, I could do one song and bring three of my voice students to perform. She acquiesced. 🙂 Sadly, one of them had to drop out at the last minute, which leaves me doing two numbers. But the two students who are singing are wonderful. They’re really top tier for...

Donald Trump says he’d consult Sean Hannity on a VP candidate.

Last updated on: February 14, 2016 at 7:44 am By JT Eberhard

Because if there’s a mind out there that can really get down to what’s best for America, it’s Sean Hannity: SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Do you give any thought to a VP choice? DONALD TRUMP: I don’t give much thought to it, and look, there are so many out there. So many really good, talented people, and I would have maybe two or three. But I don’t want to think about it, I want to think about closing the deal. I... Read more

McConnell coming up with some pretty bad reasons for Obama not to nominate a SCOTUS Justice.

Last updated on: February 14, 2016 at 9:24 am By JT Eberhard

Mitch McConnell wants Obama to delay nominating a new Supreme Court Justice because the people should have a say in who it is via the next Presidential election. Mr. McConnell, though, said voters must be given a say in the matter, and that means picking a president who will nominate the replacement. “The American people‎ should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new... Read more

Aaaaand here come the calls for delay: Justice Scalia was an American hero. We owe it to him, & the Nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement. — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) February 13, 2016 Jim Wright responded perfectly: Back up, how exactly do WE owe Antonin Scalia anything? Let alone gridlocking a confirmation for Ted Cruz? https://t.co/HCZivztzsl — Stonekettle (@Stonekettle) February 13, 2016 And here are some of the others: Obama must appoint a... Read more

Scalia was the longest-serving current Justice on the Supreme... Read more

Deadpool Day: it’s morning.

Last updated on: February 12, 2016 at 9:04 am By JT Eberhard

There was no morning happiness post today because today is Valentine’s Day for me, Michaelyn, and Dave. We’re going to a fork and screen to watch Deadpool together. Since it’s not officially Valentine’s Day we’re calling it Deadpool Day because we’re so clever. After climbing out of bed I walked over to Michaelyn and, full of grump, asked her to take the first picture of the day. She took several and cuted all over the lens trying to get me... Read more
