It’s going to be difficult for him to appear in public places what with all the death threats. I don’t believe for a second that there isn’t a lunatic out there sufficiently emboldened by the maniacal left to make an attempt on his life. Or any other originalist judge, for that matter. They must get power back at any price.
Exactly my point with the Kavanaugh/Ford stuff in the news.
Someone needs to drill that point home in the current news surrounding the Supreme Court. REAL survivors get REAL justice. Liars? Need to get put away. Period.
I think the recent news of Chinese electronics manufacturers being pressured by the PRC to embed chips onto motherboards to allow access to US and other countries computer systems should be brought into the trade talks.
I would love to see this force several companies move certain electronics manufacturing back to the US.
One answer is for Donald to cut her charity a check for the fraction of a million dollars appropriate to her claimed ancestry, about a thousand bucks.
As I've mentioned before, I too, thought I had Native American ancestry. Based on family rumors from the great aunts..... And the black sheep members. Turns out that's in my cousin's line, not mine. Hey, mistakes happen. At least I never got job preference for it. ( which Warren denies in a 4000 word statement. Protest too much? )
I did find, with my parent's DNA testing, that I have more Hispanic blood than expected, but only a few percent, and I'm unlikely to get hired at Harvard to make them feel better about their racist policies.
“She and much of the US. American public privilege the voices of (mostly white) genome scientists and implicitly cede them the power to define Indigenous identity.”
Gobblygook. DNA does not lie, and doesn’t give a crap about the skin color of the person performing the test. Privilege my ass. It’s called credibility and science, not privilege.
They can call them not members, that’s entirely up to them, but that the link exists in undeniable.
Priv-e-lidge (Noun) - if they're not lying to help me make my case, then they must be lying for someone else...because there is no such thing as truth or science.
My Tribe is the Citizens of a Free Republic, limited in it's power to mess with the People that give it legitimacy.
If you are a native American, you have a real, legal, status as a citizen of a nation with a Treaty with the United States. It'a a Community above and beyond genetics.
For a long time, ancestry figured large in legal status in this Country. In some places "one drop" of Negro blood made you an Unperson, a legal slave. In other places the rules were different, a racist mix of regulations, privilege, restrictions. Who you could marry, who could own property, who Was property, etc.
Some tribes have their own rules for membership, and there are White man rule imposed to regulate who can and cannot have the rights and, yes, obligations due to a citizen of a Tribe.
We allow some folk from other nations pretty much free passage, Canadians, for example. It's pretty easy to get a work permit, by Treaty, approved by Congress, above and beyond U.S. Law. It's in the Constitution. These Treaties with our Native Tribes define a LOT.
Warren is not a Citizen of any Tribe except the marxist. If, as she denies, and others claim, she took opportunities from other minority Americans, in education and jobs, she doesn't deserve to be a public parasite, and certainly should never be a leader.
Her claims seem to be in compliance with leftist logic. Since my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather owned slaves, that automatically makes me racist, in their minds. The same way it makes her an Injun.
But since she's also part white (at least 98%, according to the news), that means she's also guilty of the first American "Occupy" movement. Our forefathers were such progressives. Ahead of their time, really.
Lizzie is Rumoured to have a direct ancestor pushing the Cherokee down the Trail Of Tears.
Not that unusual. My Mother's side of the family is famous for invading my Father's side's island. Norwegian/Irish. I'll get a copy of the Ancestry.com results & post them.
Btw, Lizzie got negative results in her first DNA test. So she bought a better result with a professional expert.
After Obama and Bush, it's been obvious that only a coup in Pakistan or saturation bombing of Pakistan is going to stop the Taliban, it's not a surprise that Afghanistan is lost.
I'd argue it was lost the moment Bush listened to the State department, but it was official when the media refused to count Obama's dead.
