Time for Trump to pay up:

It was just a few months ago when Donald Trump presented a new idea about how he’ll attack Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), whose Native American ancestry has long been a point of preoccupation for the president. Imagining a 2020 debate, Trump told an audience of supporters about his future plan.

“I’m going to get one of those little [DNA testing] kits and in the middle of the debate, when she proclaims she’s of Indian heritage…,” Trump said. “And we will say, ‘I will give you a million dollars, paid for by Trump, to your favorite charity, if you take the test and it shows you’re an Indian.’ And we’ll see what she does. I have a feeling she will say no, but we will hold it for the debates.”

The president may need to track down his checkbook. The Boston Globe reported overnight:

Senator Elizabeth Warren has released a DNA test that provides “strong evidence” she had a Native American in her family tree dating back 6 to 10 generations, an unprecedented move by one of the top possible contenders for the 2020 Democratic nomination for president.

Warren, whose claims to Native American blood have been mocked by President Trump and other Republicans, provided the test results to the Globe on Sunday in an effort to defuse questions about her ancestry that have persisted for years. She planned an elaborate rollout Monday of the results as she aimed for widespread attention.

As the Globe reported, the analysis was conducted by Stanford University’s Carlos Bustamante, a renowned scholar and expert in the field, who concluded that the results “strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor.”

Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., who studies the genetic ancestry of Americans, wrote in 2013 (citing Ancestry.com) that the average African-American genome is 2% Native American. In 2014, the genetics website 23andMe said the average black American genome is 0.8% Native American, while Latinos have 18% Native American ancestry, on average. Among white Americans, there is considerable variation: 8% of whites in Louisiana have at least 1% Native American ancestry, for example, according to 23andMe.

The New York Times, citing the 23andMe data, reported: “The researchers found that European-Americans had genomes that were on average 98.6 percent European, .19 percent African, and .18 Native American.”

That falls within Warren’s reported range, and suggests she may be no more Native American than the average white American.

What a disaster. Even Warren's own party is calling this a PR nightmare, for her to come out with this right before the midterms.

Now the Cherokee Indian nation has called out this whole stunt too. The test was bogus too. It's truly amazing how all these Leftists can be so intellectually smart, and yet have zero common sense.

I agree, she has been fully exposed with her bogus claim of being a "Native American" to get into college. At best she is 1/64th, that means one of her great, great grandparents was a native American (at best) and it is much more likely that this person was only partially Native American, perhaps 1/16th. This justifies Trump calling her out on this.

zeek this is what happens when you listen to MS media before getting the facts. (I've seen this happen to you a hundred times in the last 2 years.)

Cherokee Nation Blasts Elizabeth Warren’s DNA Test as ‘Mockery’ and ‘Inappropriate’
Quote:
Buried in the Boston Globe story is this bombshell: “To make up for the dearth of Native American DNA, Bustamante used samples from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia to stand in for Native American.” In other words, all Warren’s DNA test really proves is that she might be 1/64 to 1/1024 Mexican, Peruvian, or Colombian.
Elizabeth Warren Melts Down in Wake of DNA Disaster
Quote:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) launched a bizarre Twitter rant late Monday afternoon following the disastrous rollout of DNA results that further debunked her decades-long claim to American Indian ancestry.

Warren’s thread of 20-plus (and counting) tweets began at about 5:30 p.m. ET, where she attempted to both insult President Trump and defend herself.

In her first tweet, and without any evidence, Warren made the outlandish claim that Trump “makes creepy physical threats about me.” The truth is that all Trump has ever done is ridicule her false claims about being Cherokee.
Trump is already eliminating 2020 Democratic rivals. Warren is toast.

Where are all of zeek's old posts claiming assuredly that Stormy will take down the President?

Ouch! Maybe Avenatti will pay her bills? I doubt it!

And where are all of zeek's old posts claiming assuredly about Russian collusion?

We could go on'n'on'n'on here on this topic.

WASHINGTON — The federal budget deficit has surged to $779 billion in fiscal 2018, its highest level in six years as President Donald Trump’s tax cuts caused the government to borrow more heavily in order to cover its spending.

"Today, President Trump seems intent on withdrawing the US from the entire post–World War II structure of interlocking diplomatic, military, and economic agreements and organizations that have preserved peace, stability, and prosperity since 1945. His preference for bilateral relations, conceived as zero-sum rivalries in which he is the dominant player and “wins,” overlaps with the ideological preference of Steve Bannon and the so-called alt-right for the unfettered self-assertion of autonomous, xenophobic nation-states—in short, the pre-1914 international system. That “international anarchy” produced World War I, the Bolshevik Revolution, the Great Depression, the fascist dictatorships, World War II, and the Holocaust, precisely the sort of disasters that the post–World War II international system has for seven decades remarkably avoided."

The system set up after WWII was supposed to be temporary until Europe could get back on their feet. There is no reason for us to keep an army in Germany or Japan, just as there is no reason for them to keep their armies in our country.

Just another NYTimes fake news story, twisting the facts for evil, when all Trump is doing is looking out for America's interests related to fair trade, jobs, and others paying their fair share.

Everything is distorted in MediaLand. Why not report how Trump pressured the Saudi's to fess up to killing Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi? Even though WaPo has never written one good thing about Trump, he still did the right thing.

"Blessed are those who suffer for righteousness sake."

I knew that case wouldn't go anywhere. And Stormy can't bring Trump down because Melania don't care, and neither do those in majority in Washington. Trump could shoot someone on 5th street, and they still wouldn't care .... just like you.

After two years, with hundreds of accusations proven false, will you ever "consider your ways?" (Haggai 1.7)

Melania never said she didn't care, she said she had more important things to be concerned with. When asked what that was she mentioned her son and her position as first lady. For all we know Donald Trump and her marriage do not rank as things important to her.

I can't imagine Trump's legal fees will be cheap.

Poor Stormy. Should have kept her money and kept quiet. One more sucker crunched up and spit out by the corrupt Democratic smear machinery. Worst thing that ever happened to her was meeting Avenatti.


Avenatti 2020!
