Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) tried to come to the defense of her colleague Sen. Kristin Gillibrand (D-NY) after President Donald Trump claimed that the latter used to beg him for campaign contributions "and would do anything for them." Warren fired back on Twitter and asked Trump if he is "really trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame" Gillibrand. But this is another example of the media's weird obsession with Trump's Twitter account while ignoring other big stories go below the fold.

Has Elizabeth Warren been damaged by the feud with Donald Trump over Trump calling her "Pocahontas"? If you read the liberal pundits, who live within #TheResistance bubble, you'd think Warren got the better of the exchange by calling Trump racist. As I've pointed out dozens of times, I think this hurts Warren because Trump is branding her as a fraud. Once so branded, it's going to be hard to escape. The measure of damage, however, is not really the political media, it's the natural source of Warren's strength, the late night shows.

During the 2012 Senate race between Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren I appeared several times on the Nightside with Dan Rea radio show on WBZ Radio in Boston, a super station that covers all of New England and into upstate NY. What I always enjoyed about being on Dan's show is that he gave me a lot of time, usually a half- or full-hour segment. While an hour in radio time really isn't anywhere near an hour because of commercials and news breaks, it's still a luxury compared to so many of the 6-minute slots I often encounter. So with Dan, you get into a lot of substance, and it's not a matter of speed-talking. I also got to respond to listener phone-in questions, which I really enjoy.

Because of her Twitter fights with Donald Trump, much attention has been focused for the past year on Elizabeth Warren's claim, while climbing the law school ladder to Harvard, to be Native American. I addressed this recently in It’s time for Elizabeth Warren to apologize for her Native American deception. Warren's claim to be Native American for employment purposes is not the only scandal that has surrounded her academic career. At ElizabethWarrenWiki.org we documented Warren's Academic Research Controversies.

Elizabeth Warren is not Native American. Yet she claimed to be Native American while climbing the law school professor ladder to Harvard Law School. The details of what Warren did, and how she tried to conceal it, are set forth at Elizabeth Warren Wiki, a website we created to put in one place the research documenting Warren's deception. It's all there, including the rundown of her highly questionable, if not downright debunked, family lore stories. Here are the subheading links on the Elizabeth Warren Native American / Cherokee Controversy page:

The showdown at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is a perfect microcosm of the difficulty unraveling Obama's rule by bureaucracy. Two weeks ago, CFPB chair Richard Cordray announced his resignation. Cordray had run the rogue agency, accountable to no one, as his own personal liberal policy shop, doing little to meet the needs of consumers. Cordray didn't stay the two weeks he'd originally planned.

Richard Cordray announced his resignation from the contentious Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB) two weeks ago. Friday, Cordray suddenly changed plans, and with no warning, left the agency a week before his scheduled departure date. Prior to leaving, he appointed his Chief of Staff, Leandra English, to replace him as the Acting Director. The move was intended to fill the spot temporarily, forcing Trump to go through the confirmation process for a nominee, which could take months, before putting his own person in place. But Trump didn't wait, and appointed Mick Mulvaney as Acting Director and nominee. This sets up a turf war over who is Acting Director.

Elizabeth Warren is hardly a profile in courage as a politician. Warren loves to portray herself as brave for bashing Republicans, but when it is a matter of internal Democrat politics, she's cowardly. She sat out the Democratic primary without an endorsement until it was clear that Hillary had won. While she originally admitted the Democratic primaries were rigged after Donna Brazile's revelations as to how Hillary co-opted the DNC, Warren walked that back. Now, when it comes to Al Franken's groping photo and alleged non-consensual sexual advances, Warren once again avoids being brave.

You gotta love government agencies. They lash out when private businesses hurt consumers and yet evidence always seems to surface that they do the exact same thing, sometimes even worse. Take the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), an agency not many know about. Dodd-Frank birthed this agency as a way to protect consumers from another financial crisis. Its webpage claims that it "makes sure banks, lenders, and other financial companies treat you fairly."

Democrats are still reeling from their historic electoral losses during the Obama era, particularly the loss of the White House in 2016.  They now appear to be increasingly coalescing behind single-payer as part of their "get back in power" strategy. Socialist senator and failed Democrat presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) peddled his inconceivably expensive "Medicare for all" throughout the 2016 presidential primaries.  Sanders himself refuses to address pesky questions about the cost or real-world viability of his socialist pipe-dream, but that hasn't stopped Democrats from seizing on the idea.

During the 2012 Senate campaign between Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren, I learned early on that The Boston Globe had Warren's back, and used its full political sway to promote and defend her, particularly on Warren's false claim to be Native American for employment purposes while climbing the law professor ladder to Harvard Law School. When The Boston Herald first exposed that Harvard touted Warren as its first Native American tenured hire, the Globe published a story that Warren was 1/32nd Cherokee, Document ties Warren kin to Cherokees:
