Boston Globe Update and Correction: Elizabeth Warren Is 1/1,024 Native American… NOT 1/512

The Gateway Pundit

. . . "Elizabeth Warren released a DNA study today that claims she is 1/512th Native American.
"The AP reported:

Responding to years of derision by President Donald Trump and other critics, Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Monday released a report on a DNA analysis that provides strong evidence she does, in fact, have Native American heritage.The analysis on the Massachusetts Democrat was done by Stanford University professor Carlos D. Bustamante. He concluded Warren’s ancestry is mostly European but says “the results strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor.”Bustamante, a prominent expert in the field of DNA analysis, determined Warren’s pure Native American ancestor appears “in the range of six to 10 generations ago.”……But if her ancestor is 10 generations back, that could mean she’s just 1/512th Native American,according to the report . That could further excite her critics instead of placating them.

"UPDATE— The AP issued a correction — The DNA test revealed that Elizabeth Warren is not 1/512 Native American, she’s 1/1,024. That’s 0.0009765625." . . .

That the best you can do for Native American DNA, Elizabeth Warren?

Nice try, Liz.  But you're still a fake Indian whose real problem is that you used a drop of ancestry to game an entire system.

. . . "Warren was touted in recruitment literature for her Native American heritage by Harvard and Penn, while Fordham Law Review hailed her as Harvard Law's "first woman of color," something she never tried to disabuse the university of at the time as the former house-flipper bit and clawed her way to the top.

"She liked the leg up on other white applicants, and never mind that she displaced a genuine Native American from the affirmative action slot.  Can a white guy with 1/512 African-American blood now be able to claim that black affirmative action law professor slot now, Liz?" . . .

Remember Warren's Pow Wow Chow?

Rage when you disagree: How ‘safe spaces’ led to today’s political mobs

Karol Markowicz

"What’s behind the recent spread of outraged mobs on US streets, wild-eyed and throwing violent fits because their favored political outcome didn’t happen? How did so many Americans give up on resolving disagreements through discussion and turn the fact that a disagreement exists into an excuse for a tantrum?

"Campuses started setting up “safe spaces” well before 2015, when the news hit our media in earnest: College students were literally taking shelter from the possibility of hearing opinions they might disagree with.

"For all the mockery the idea received, we’re seeing that principle extended to the real world. The recent outbursts on our streets have their root in the idea that only one opinion is the correct one and all others must be shut down.

"And politicians are encouraging the idea that disagreement is a personal attack: “You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,” Hillary Clinton said last week." . . .

Boy, nine, ruins Supreme Court prospects

The accused little boy will be OK as long as he's chosen for the Supreme Court by Democrats. But if someday he is chosen by a Republican President, well, Kamala Harris and Corey Booker will be coming with the torches and pitchforks. TD

"Admit it. You knew this was bound to happen.

"Teresa Sue Klein of Flatbush, Brooklyn, was in a convenience store when a mother and her two children went in and went past her. Klein then got highly upset, claiming that the nine-year-old boy had sexually assaulted her by grabbing her posterior. She immediately made a scene and called 911 for the police, demanding that the little boy be arrested for sexually assaulting her. They all went outside the store, where bystanders got verbally involved, with Klein defiant. Multiple cellphone videos show the little boy and his younger sister wailing at the top of their lungs, obviously scared. The store videos show that the boy went past Klein with both hands in plain view, but his oversized backpack may have brushed against her. Fortunately, no arrests were made.

"But, borrowing a page from the Kavanaugh hearing, shouldn’t the FBI be involved, maybe do a background check on him? Maybe he got drunk in kindergarten on too much root beer and tickled, or even may have kissed a girl (I have it on good authority that his class picture shows him wearing a cap backwards and he’s brandishing a toy gun). The FBI should definitely do a background check. Or two. Or three. Or seven.

"On a related note, a six-year-old boy was suspended from kindergarten for sexual harassment, namely, he kissed a girl, a classmate. Kindergarten kids kissing each otheroccasionally happens, mostly due to imitating parents (incidentally, when a kindergarten girl kisses a boy, no one gets suspended). A lot depends on whether there is a feminist around." . . .

The Left to the Clintons: Please Go Away!

Bill and Hillary: good at being bad With no sign of guilt whatever.

. . . "So this ostensibly sacrificial act by Hillary is no more than a way to head off the negative implications of an announcement by the DoJ of her top-level clearance’s revocation, possibly ahead of a future criminal indictment."

Power Line Blog  "Yet another missive from Robert Kuttner of the lefty American Prospect that will warm the cockles, and many other things beside:

Depart, I Say, and Let Us Have Done with You. That’s what Oliver Cromwell said to the Long Parliament in 1653. In May 1940, the British Conservative M.P. Leo Amery flung the same words at Neville Chamberlain, demanding that Hitler’s appeaser step down as British prime minister.
The words came back to me as I read about the paid speaking tour just announced by Bill and Hillary Clinton. The 13-city tour, billed as “An Evening with the Clintons,” begins two weeks after the midterm elections.
And billed is right. Ticket prices range from $120.50 to $370.50.
They are not selling a book on this tour, just having a good time and bringing in the bucks. Isn’t that grand?
Since the cities include Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Boston, New York and Washington, D.C., it doesn’t exactly seem to be a political tour on behalf of Democratic candidates, either. Nor is it clear that such a mission would be a plus.
In the Age of Trump, it’s all about celebrity. Jesus wept.
So get your seats, and we can all relive the great Clinton moments:
The Blue Dress! How Bill spoiled it for Al Gore because he couldn’t resist sex with an intern.
NAFTA! How Bill set the Democrats up for one of the worst midterm blowouts ever, in 1994.
Bankers going bonkers! How he turned over the deregulation of Wall Street to Bob Rubin, setting up the financial collapse of 2008.
And, of course, how Hillary bungled her way into giving the nation Donald Trump.
I seldom agree with Orrin Hatch, but the Republican senator from Utah put it well. “The Clintons don’t know when to shut up.”
Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. ~ ROBERT KUTTNER

Antifa Attacks GOP Headquarters in NYC, Warns ‘Merely the Beginning’. They hate Republicans and hope to make it mutual.

Dan Bongino

Far-left activists associated with Antifa and other radical hate groups attacked the Republican Party headquarters in New York City late Thursday evening; vandalizing the historic building and warning the incident was “merely the beginning.”Our attack is merely a beginning. We are not passive, we are not civil, and we will not apologize.The New York GOP released shocking images immediately following the assault; writing “The New York Republican New York City headquarters at the Metropolitan Republican Club was physically vandalized last evening with broken windows, spray-paint and more.”

"Some people are really hard to like". For this writer, it's "Progressives"  "Something occurred to me a while back.  I realized that I really, really don't like progressives.

"I don't like their raunchy language, their rude behavior, their physical vileness.  I don't like them interrupting lunch, or shouting down a speaker I want to hear, or lying to smear people they disagree with.

"I don't like them pretending to be wounded in their souls when somebody says a word they disapprove of.  I don't like them murdering babies in the womb and calling it reproductive health.  I don't like their vindictiveness, their gathering at the homes of political adversaries and making lives miserable, their faking hate crimes and race crimes.

"I don't like that they pay hoodlums, gangs, and other bad people to riot and destroy.  I don't like their assaults on American institutions.  I don't like their noise, their violence, their ceaseless vilification of decent Americans, their policing of speech, their intimidation of anybody they find distasteful.  I dislike their proclivity for mob rule, their approval of criminals, their disdain for honest citizens.

"I could go on and on about the things I sincerely, totally, completely, and without mental reservation dislike about progressives, but you get the point.  Actually, it could all be summed up as "I don't like adults acting like babies in dirty diapers."

"Truth to tell, none of this occurred to me a while back.  Rather, it was some fifty years ago, at the University of Kansas, when I first encountered people like this.

"But you know what I mean." . . .  Richard Jack Rail

Media Misses: Reporters Refuse to Recognize Leftist ‘Mob’ Rule; CNN and MSNBC should hang their heads in shame.

Daily Signal   "The Democratic Party has a new face and that is mob rule—but the mainstream media seems to conveniently ignore that. Plus: CNN’s Brooke Baldwin won’t even say the “M” word.

"If the tea party was harassing people out of restaurants and blocking the doors of the Supreme Court, do you think the media would ignore it? Absolutely not." . . .  

Don Surber to the media: You are Fake News and you bore me  "Go away, Washington and New York reporters. After three years of following your constant dishonest reporting about Donald John Trump, you have not only lost credibility but my interest as well.

"And this is after writing a book chronicling last year's Fake News.
"You are losers who have piddled away the power of the press in your Wile E. Coyote attempts to bring down President Trump. The anvil had landed on your heads so often that you now suffer CTE.
"Let me give you a few recent examples of your idiocy.
. . .
"Kanye West went on and on, but it was not crazy talk. He was explaining the needs of the black urban community. He wants to help.
You mock him.
"When Kim Kardashian and Kanye West attended the 2010 White House Correspondents' Association dinner, you ooed and awed. Obama even posed with them and signed the picture.
"Suddenly having them in the White House is unpresidential. Who do you think you are kidding?
"Or how about your attempt to mug Brett Kavanaugh? That backfired. The people are on to you.

Even some on the left think the #MeToo movement has gone too far

Rick Moran  "How far is too far for the #MeToo movement? That we are finally getting around to asking that question - even those on the left - says just how far off the rails the movement has gotten.

"Case in point: Francisco J. Ayala. He's a world renowned geneticist at UC Irvine, born in Spain, whose friendly greetings for Benedicte Shipley were perceived by both in radically different ways. Ayala would greet Shipley for years with a hug and kisses on both cheeks, telling her how attractive she is. He thought he was showing her good manners. She believed he was harassing her. 

"Ayala is 84 years old. Shipley is 50. Other women came forward to tell of Ayala's unwanted friendliness. He swore he meant no disrespect by his actions. Indeed, some women enjoyed their encounters with Ayala.

"But the university threw the book at him." . . .

Who to believe? An adult white woman or a 9 year old black boy?  "The "believe woman" claims of rape no-matter-what meme continues to trivialize real rape and other forms of assault, while turning women into permanently helpless victims unable to function in simple every day activities because #MeToo!  

"In the heart of multi-cultural, pluralistic and oh-so-liberal Brooklyn, New York, a white woman is paying for cat litter in a Mid-Eastern deli as a black mother exits the store with her two young children.  Ah, sophisticated big city co-existence in all its smug glory!  

"But wait! Danger for women is everywhere!  Everywhere! And it happens! Something touches the white woman's delicate butt!  Oh no!  Galvanized by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's vivid recollections of a highly questionable drunken adolescent  hazy encounter 36 years earlier embedded in her hypothalamus, the alert white female professional victim follows the black family outside, accusing the 9 year old boy of touching her clothed and sacred body part and then calls the police." . . .

"The 9 year old cries.  The mother defends her son." . . .
. . . 

" 'But...but," women defenders will defend, "women have been victimized for so long you can't blame them for a little mistake."  Oh no!  Of course not!  

"So what if innocent men are vilified, smeared, even incarcerated?  They deserve it because they're well...men.  

"So what if the cops had been more involved, showing the woman the child was innocent?  They're cops; by definition, bad.  

"So what if the cops and the judge are slow to react when a real case of sexual assault occurs because wolf has been called too many times?  They're men.  Or evil conservative, elitist women. "

Mazie Hirono telling men to "just shut up" didn't win much sympathy for her apparently spasmodic causes.

Everyone Is Smart Except Trump

The American Spectator

That’s why they all are billionaires and all got elected president.

. . . "Only Trump does not know how to negotiate with Vladimir Putin. Anderson Cooper knows how to stand up to Putin. The whole crowd at MSNBC does. All the journalists do.

"They could not stand up to Matt Lauer at NBC. They could not stand up to Charlie Rose at CBS. They could not stand up to Mark Halperin at NBC. Nor up to Leon Wieseltier at the New Republic, nor Jann Wenner at Rolling Stone, nor Michael Oreskes at NPR, at the New York Times, or at the Associated Press. But — oh, wow! — can they ever stand up to Putin! Only Trump is incapable of negotiating with the Russian tyrant.

"Remember the four years when Anderson Cooper was President of the United States? And before that — when the entire Washington Post editorial staff jointly were elected to be President? Remember? Neither do I.

"The Seedier Media never have negotiated life and death, not corporate life and death, and not human life and death. They think they know how to negotiate, but they do not know how. They go to a college, are told by peers that they are smart, get some good grades, proceed to a graduate degree in journalism, and get hired as analysts. Now they are experts, ready to take on Putin and the Iranian Ayatollahs at age 30." . . .

'Kiss of Death': Democrats keep Hillary off campaign trail

"Hillary Clinton is the kiss of death and she represents the part of the Democratic Party that led to historic losses and that elected Donald Trump president," said a leading Democratic strategist who requested anonymity because of fear of political retribution.

Washington Examiner  "Hillary Clinton was once the face of the Democratic Party, a celebrity name who could draw thousands to rallies and was the all-but-certain first female president of the United States. Now, she is viewed as "the kiss of death" for candidates.

"As the midterm election campaigns enter the home stretch, the former secretary of state, first lady, senator, and 2016 Democratic nominee is almost completely absent from the campaign trail. Most Democrats are keen to keep it that way, fearing that her reappearance could cost them a golden opportunity of winning back control of Congress.

"Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, are due to go back on the road next month, embarking on a 13-city tour in which they will conduct “one-of-a-kind conversations" about "the most impactful moments in modern history". But Democratic strategists are relieved that their first event will be 12 days after Americans go to the polls on Nov 6.

" 'I think they're measuring how they can have the best, positive impact and have kind of decided to wait until after the election," said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.

"One House Democrat said the Clintons were not missed. "I have not seen Hillary or Bill at all — and I’m very grateful for that," he said. "When I think of people who have been part of our push to retake the House, I just don’t think of them at all. ... I think it’s a very good thing that they’re not being visible. It wouldn’t help our candidates." . . .

. . . "Clinton's popularity sits at a record low, according to a Gallup poll taken in September. Only 36 percent view her favorably, including 30 percent of independents and 77 percent of Democrats." . . .

. . .  "Democrats don't want her to campaign for them because everywhere she goes she carries this stench of death and is the only political figure in America that is less popular than Donald Trump," said the Democratic strategist. "That's a real testament to her.  . . .

. . . "Every time that she goes out and speaks, it's a bad thing for the Democratic Party. ... She had the most catastrophic presidential campaign in history. If we're trying to say, 'We want to turn the page, we want to usher in a new era of Democratic politics,' she is the worst possible spokesperson, face, or endorser for any campaign that's trying to do that.' " . . .

Otherwise, she would be just great!

Hillary Clinton Is Dangerous;  "Neither she nor her party can be trusted with power anymore."

. . . She declared, in other words, that the peaceful transfer of power which has long been the hallmark of our system of government now applies only when her side wins and that she won’t stop stoking unrest until the “deplorables” learn their place: “But until then,” she said, “the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength.” By “strength” she means “violence,” as experienced by Republicans Steve Scalise and Rand Paul. The last time leading Democrats utilized such irresponsible language was in 1860, when their refusal to accept the result of an election caused a war that got 600,000 Americans killed. . . .
