Pocahontas

The $69 question Senator Warren chooses to ignore

For just $69, U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren could settle the question of her ancestry once and for all.

That is the sale price (regularly $99) that Ancestry DNA is charging for searching your family genealogy.

Millions of Americans have done it, either through Ancestry, 23andMe or some other ancestry research organization.

Better still, she could walk down the street in Cambridge and consult with fellow Harvard educator Henry Louis Gates Jr., who hosts the popular and fascinating PBS television program “Finding Your Roots.”

The Gates program traces genetic code and bloodlines that confirm or debunks long held beliefs about ancestry.

Either way it could determine claims by Sen. Elizabeth Warren that she has Native American roots, was descended from Cherokee Indians, and was not your typical white person, as Barack Obama would say.

This claim gave the blonde, blue-eyed Oklahoma native minority status. She listed herself as a minority in the legal directory of the Association of American Law Schools from 1986 to 1995. She was also listed as Native American in federal forms filed by Pennsylvania and Harvard law schools, where she was hired.

So, despite her denials, Warren benefited in the hiring process at these institutions which at the time were seeking minorities to add to their staffs.

Most likely, though, an intelligent person like Warren has already taken the DNA test, especially after her unsubstantiated claim became a campaign issue for the U.S. Senate in 2012 when she defeated incumbent Republican Scott Brown.

Rather than documenting Cherokee Indian roots, the DNA test just might have found that Warren was just another typical white person of Irish, English, or Scottish ancestry.

The issue could have been buried a long time ago if Warren had been more transparent and honest.

Instead she is trying to have it both ways by splitting hairs. In an ingratiating speech last week before the National Conference of American Indians, Warren attacked President Donald Trump for calling her “ Pocahontas.”

She then gave the audience a history lesson about Pocahontas, as though American Indians need to be told who Pocahontas was. While still clinging to her unsubstantiated Cherokee roots (“My mother’s family was part Native American”) Warren added that she could not prove it even if it is true.

“You won’t find my family members on any rolls, and I am not enrolled in a tribe. And I want to make something clear. I respect that distinction. I understand that tribal membership is determined by tribes — and only by tribes. I never used my family tree to get a break or get ahead. I never used it to advance my career,” she said.

In other words, although she is part Native American through her mother, she will not join any tribe. The reason she will not is that they will not accept her.

This is like me saying that my ancestors came over on the Mayflower. That’s what my mother told me. I can’t prove it, and I do not look English, but what the hell, it’s what I was told and what I believe.

And if she didn’t use her family tree to get ahead, why then did she list it in the legal directory that was used for hiring purposes? And why did she allow the two universities to list her as a Native American on federal hiring forms?

“O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive,” Sir Walter Scott once noted.

Parkland Shooting

Old Sparky

After months and months of people stumbling over themselves and time after time finding Nutty Nik Cruz from Parkland, FL totally sane, or maybe a little nuts, but not all that bad, we find a possibly different set of people finding him a total nut job and batshit crazy to avoid the death penalty. Seems to me he's a psychopath who, upon capture, almost instantly admitted his crime. If he did that he knows it was wrong and by implication knows the difference between right and wrong. So let's get on with it and string him up. Even the prosecutor says it's a case made for the death penalty. Or, as we common folks tend to say here in Florida-
Let's fire up Ol' Sparky one more time.

Stop the Poor Lobsters' Suffering!

It's probable that all along the vast coastal regions of Switzerland (think about it) there are unemployed lobster fisherman, since the easiest method of cooking a lobster has now been declared illegal.

As hard as it is to imagine, it's true. LOOK HERE.

However, if they get electrocuted first, it would be OK. Presumably smashing their heads with a mallet would be perfectly acceptable as well.

I recall the culinary expertise I gained while washing dishes at the Blue Goose. There they were mostly broiled. Seeing them wave their little arms in joy as the were slit from head to toe (?) and slid under the flame was something i'll always remember.

There go my plans for relocating to Switzerland

Gun Control: A War Not a Conversation, .

Beating Dead Horses Because They Aren't Really Dead should be, but they ain't

COLUMBINE STUDENT'S FATHER ... 12 YEARS LATER Guess our national leaders didn't expect this. On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful. They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness.. The following is a portion of the transcript: SCROLL December 16, 2012 · Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers. The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain's heart. In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don't believe that they are responsible for my daughter's death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would be their strongest opponent. I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy -- it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best. ·         Your laws ignore our deepest needs, ·         Your words are empty air. ·         You've stripped away our heritage, ·         You've outlawed simple prayer. ·         Now gunshots fill our classrooms, ·         And precious children die. ·         You seek for answers everywhere, ·         And ask the question "Why?" ·         You regulate restrictive laws, ·         Through legislative creed. ·         And yet you fail to understand, ·         That God is what we need! Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation's history. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs -- politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties. We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts. "As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America , and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA -- I give to you a sincere challenge.. Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone! My daughter's death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!" - Darrell Scott

The Beginning of the Tong Wars?

So, ask yourself: Who shows up at a House of Representatives meeting with tongs?

Spatula? Sure, but tongs?

More School Slaughter

Good to know that news across the world comes to a screeching halt with a shooting here in the US.
Fox News has been on the high school shooting 24-7 ever since it happened. Most to almost all the "news" is 1-2 days old. Even the Russia-Russia-Russia coverage has fallen off the radar.
I'd be happy if the news was half school shooting and half everything else, but no.
Whatever happened to the edge of your seat coverage of the Las Vegas shooting?
Must be me.

Found another one

Turns out I know nothing of art

Obama portrait painter Kehinde Wiley also did this lovely work of art.



After looking at a number of his paintings, I had assumed he painted only black people, but it turns out I was wrong. The beheaded woman in this picture is clearly white. So, my bad.
Thanks to Rush for the heads up
