First voter question to Elizabeth Warren in Sioux City: “Why did you undergo the DNA testing?”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 05, 2019 28 Comments

I wrote recently that Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign already has been defined by her Native American problem much as emails defined Hillary. Trump has switched, at least temporarily, from calling her "Pocahontas" to mock her false claim to be Native American to mocking the DNA test results that showed Warren may only be 1/1024th Native American (by DNA, which is not how real Native Americans determine whether someone is a tribal member).

Now, the scientist is being visited by a special type of "truth force," as investigators look into several allegations that he sexually abused colleagues and associates. Additionally, work on his show has been halted in the wake of this news.

USS Cole Mastermind Likely Killed in Airstrike

Posted by Mary Chastain on January 04, 2019 11 Comments

A US official told CNN today that an airstrike probably killed al-Qaeda terrorist Jamel Ahmed Mohammed Ali Al-Badawi, the mastermind behind the bombing of the USS Cole in 2000. The attack killed 17 sailors and injured 39 others. Many believe the terrorist attack "foreshadowed the attack on the US less than one year later on September 11, 2001."

We are over a year away from the Iowa Democratic Caucuses, and 22 months away from Election Day 2020. But already a pall has been cast on the narrative of Elizabeth Warren's campaign due to her Native American deception which was first exposed in late April 2012.
