"If I were the president, I would be on my knees every night, thanking God that my enemies are so stupid."

Oregon Muse writes at Ace of Spades,
"Lizzie 'Notaninjun' Warren has own-goaled herself so badly that down in the Twitter sewers, even hardcore progs are saying 'you know, I hate Trump and everything he stands for, but he sure owned Warren.' No Dems will defend her, Republicans are laughing at her, real Native Americans despise her and are telling her to just shut up. And her nascent 2020 presidential campaign is now a flaming pile of wreckage. Which is kind of sad, because she's still delusional enough to think she can take on Trump in 2020 and it would be very entertaining to watch that debacle. Oh, and speaking of national laughingstocks, did you hear the latest about the creepy porn lawyer? According to the L.A. Times, a federal bankruptcy judge issued a restraining order late Wednesday to block the firm of Michael CPL Avenatti, the lawyer for porn star Stormy 'Horseface' Daniels, from spending any fees it collects while it owes more than $10 million in unpaid debts and back taxes. The restraining order covers 54 cases. My question is, why does every one who goes against Trump end up hurting themselves? It's absolutely uncanny. If I were the president, I would be on my knees every night, thanking God that my enemies are so stupid."

Boston Globe admits inaccurately calculating the percentage of Native American ancestry in Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s DNA.

Amber Athey reports in the Boston Globe,
The Boston Globe issued a correction Monday after inaccurately calculating the percentage of Native American ancestry in Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s DNA.

After years of skepticism about Warren’s claim that she is at least part Cherokee, the Democratic Sen. from Massachusetts recently released the results of a DNA test. The test provided “strong evidence” that Warren has a Native American ancestor dating back six to 10 generations.

The Boston Globe originally claimed that this put Warren at somewhere between 1/32 and 1/512 Native American.

However, the Globe admitted in a correction that the upper bound of Warren’s Native American ancestry is actually 1/1024. This would make Warren somewhere between .09 and 3 percent Native American.

...According to a New York Times article cited by the Republican National Committee’s Michael Ahrens, the average European-American has 0.18 percent Native American DNA.

In 1996, the Harvard Crimson referred to Warren as a Native American, and in 1997, a Fordham Law Review article described her as Harvard Law’s “first woman of color.”

According to previous reporting by The Daily Caller, “Warren later acknowledged that Harvard had singled her out as a Native American professor because she identified herself as a minority in an Association of American Law Schools directory from 1986-1994. She stopped listing herself as such when she gained tenure at Harvard.”

...Warren also used her “high cheekbones” and an old story about her parents eloping over “issues” relating to her mother’s Cherokee ancestry as proof of her ancestral claims.

The Cherokee tribe does not accept DNA tests as proof of ancestry.

Read it in Cherokee, Liz!

One of the funniest people on Twitter is Sean Spicier (not Sean Spicer). He recommends that Senator Warren be allowed to read her letter on the Senate floor if she reads it in her native Cherokee language.
