Senator Elizabeth Warren wants to affirm her Native American identity and to collect a million dollars in the process: President Trump in a rally promised to pay that much if DNA tests could prove that she’s an Indian.

She cites tests indicating her genetic Indian ancestry is as much as 1 in 64, or as little as 1 in 1,024. No: no recognized tribe in America would accept a single great-great-great-great grandfather as proof.

Worst of all, Warren’s insistence on the “one drop of blood” standard is inherently racist; what does DNA mean without history of cultural affinity or communal participation?

President Trump should no longer use the nickname “Pocahontas”; the designation “Faux-cahontas” is far more appropriate—that’s “faux”, as in phony.

Larry Elder makes a keen observation on white liberals contradicting themselves on Trump: they have always claimed Trump won by appealing to the "deplorable" racism in many whites. After he met Kanye, liberals like Chris Matthews now say that he is trying to show that he is not a racist because he knows that most whites don't vote for a racist!
