After we called attention to the fact that Elizabeth Warren’s Wikipedia page had been cleansed of its section on her (false) claim to be Cherokee, a vigorous debate took place among editors of Wikipedia since the expungement of the information violated Wikipedia’s rules.

The section was restored, but in a less comprehensive...

Via Boston Herald, Liz won’t beat drum:

Despite repeated claims she is “proud” of her Cherokee heritage, newly minted U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren is keeping that pride under wraps and won’t be taking advantage of a chance to officially list herself as the Bay State’s first Native American U.S. senator.

Aides said Warren,...

In my post yesterday, Elizabeth Warren Wikipedia page ethnically cleansed, I noted that the lengthy explanation of Elizabeth Warren’s false claim to be Cherokee had been almost entirely purged from Warren’s Wikipedia page.

My post set off some pretty vigorous debate among editors at Wikipedia.

One of the editors, who did not get his...

One of the greatest controversies surrounding Elizabeth Warren was her claim to be Native American, specifically Cherokee.

The controversy was sparked in late April 2012, when the Boston Herald revealed that in the late 1990s Harvard Law School had promoted...

It’s coming, really, it is.

Just not by January 3, as hoped. Figure later in January. We’ve had an epiphany as to design that will require some more work. Better to be a little late and great, than a little early and not so great.

But not to worry, if you need your...

Which is more offensive?

Using a sports team name which may be offensive to Native Americans, or ripping off their heritage and identity for your own professional gain?

The team bus of the Liberal High School (KS) Redskins, in a photo take in early November:

Professor,

On my way home this evening, I spotted Elizabeth Warren’s campaign/tour bus travelling on I-25 through Denver.

Also, if anyone cannot see the irony in this and get offended, I say “Tough.” The only thing to be offended at is the fraud imposed by a self-righteous liberal.

It’s bad enough that people already are talking about Elizabeth Warren being a serious candidate for President in 2016, President Elizabeth Warren:

Few people have a better and more appealing story and background to seize that opportunity than Elizabeth Warren.

I’ve tried to lay a little low on Elizabeth Warren lately, saving my strength for when she gets sworn in and the entire media covers up her false claim to be Native American, among other things.
