Trump Praises Indians (feathers not dot) for Revealing Liz Warren as 'Complete and Total Fraud'
2018-10-18
[PJ] On Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump praised the Cherokee Nation for its remarks that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) made a "mockery" out of DNA tests and tribal nations. According to Trump, the Native American tribe revealed Warren as a "complete and total fraud."

"Thank you to the Cherokee Nation for revealing that Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, is a complete and total Fraud!" the president tweeted.

He noted that Warren, whom he referred to as "Pocahontas (the bad version)," is "getting slammed. She took a bogus DNA test and it showed that she may be 1/1024, far less than the average American. Now Cherokee Nation denies her, 'DNA test is useless.' Even they don’t want her. Phony!"

#3   I have donated DNA tests to native Americans (the kind who are enrolled in federally-recognized tribes) who have a very high "blood quantum". This kind of testing has been going on in recent years, "under the radar" so to speak, by other researchers than myself. Members of a given tribe very frequently are related to each other as 4th cousins or closer by the standards of the testing companies (e.g. 23andme). This is particularly useful in identifying native children who were (1) taken away from birth parents by various children's services or (2) given up for adoption by native parents. These adopted-out children are usually NOT eligible to join the tribes they descend from due to the regulations of the tribes. One elder turned out to have distant cousins in Central America, dating back 200 years or longer for the most recent common ancestor. Links like this one will probably turn out to be more common than the ignorant (i.e. Ivy League researchers and the MSM) currently believe.

#2  The President's analysis is welcomed but certainly not needed. Please file under deer resistant hydrangeas for now.

#1  One amusing aspect of this is that for years we have been told there is no such thing as race, that it's purely a social construct. Now we're talking about measuring it down to a tenth of a percent. I'm so confused.

Nah, no I'm not. It's all about grasping for power and advantage by any available means.
