Today, August 11, marks seven years of “The Progressive Professor”!
Over these seven years, there have been precisely 4,900 entries, with this entry being that number!
It has been fun doing this blog, and I thank those who have read it, continue to read it, and those who have participated and contributed in comments, numbering almost 9,350 in the past seven years.
With my book–“Assassinations, Threats, and the American Presidency: From Andrew Jackson to Barack Obama”, Rowman Littlefield Publishers, coming out on this Saturday, August 15, I will be engaged in publicity on radio, tv/cable, and in print and on the internet, and will share links, both audio and visual, which will be placed on my blog on the right hand side, along with those radio interviews already there in the past, and my video lectures at Florida Atlantic University, Jupiter campus, on the Presidencies of Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson.
I hope many of my readers will listen and look at these interviews and programs as they are added, and I will be very busy doing lectures and book signings over time, which means there might be days when in travel or being overly occupied, I will not add an entry.
But one can be sure that I will be active on this blog, as it now enters Year Number 8!
So thanks everyone, and hope you will continue to follow me, read me, listen to me, and watch me over the next months and years!
Congratulations Professor!
Thanks, Pragmatic Progressive. It is appreciated!
Congratulations, Ronald!
I didn’t discover “The Progressive Professor” until 2011. I regret that, because I would have like to have been here for Election 2008.
D, I greatly appreciate your contributions.
If you look back at 2008, I had just started to write, and did not do so daily, so while I had commentary, it was not extensive, but since the Obama Presidency began, it has been steady.
Thanks again.
Ed’s show has been dumped off of MSNBC.

Just heard about that recently. Saddened about it because that means less progressive voices over the TV airwaves.
This is all about politics: moving to the right to counter Bernie Sanders and promote Hillary, in my view.
It sounds to me they are trying to make it like CNN during the daytime. More news and less opinion programming.
I do agree with Princess Leia that politics played a role. After all, Comcast is a member of ALEC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_members_of_the_American_Legislative_Exchange_Council
Now Reverend Al is being moved.
