      Sadly, recent DNA testing doesn't show any Native American component to my genome, although I have traces of Ashkenazi Jew and West African lineage, neither of which have imbued me with any of the gifts stereotypically associated with either.
      I'm jealous of that varied diversity in your DNA.

        Yeah. The same reason Dems still host and fawn over the Clintons.

        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

          Do they? They aren’t universally beloved by all democrats, particularly Hillary. She is a divisive figure among liberals.

                I see the divisiveness, but the Clintons are still given a voice and a lot of fawning on the left. I'll believe the Dems have principles on this when they are not invited to speak at the convention.

                  Clever would have been..."There is a 1/1042 chance that this is a relative to Senator Elizabeth Warren." That's clever.

                    Frank, with enough of these types of commentaries, maybe the left will find its principles.

                    Why Hillary Clinton’s comments were even more painful than Trump’s

                    Dokoupil: “There are people who look at the incidents of the ’90s and they say, ‘A president of the United States cannot have a consensual relationship with an intern, the power imbalance is too great.’ ”

                    Clinton, interjecting mid-sentence: “Who was an adult. But let me ask you this: Where’s the investigation of the current incumbent against whom numerous allegations have been made and which he dismisses, denies and ridicules?”

                    . . . . . . .

                    She does not cede a millimeter; like Trump, she is allergic to apology. Like Trump, she is prone to whataboutism. If what Bill Clinton did was wrong, why does it matter if what Trump has done is wronger, if indeed it was? Whataboutism is an argument for losers, whichever side deploys it.

                            • #WhatAboutObama... He said the manufacturing jobs were not coming back.

                              The Trump Manufacturing Jobs Boom: 10 Times Obama's Over 21 Months

                              The Great Recession officially ended in June 2009, six months into former President Obama’s first term. The economy continued to shed jobs until the following March. Manufacturing was particularly hard hit, with almost 2.3 million manufacturing jobs—some 1 in 6—lost between January 2008 and March 2010.

                              As is the case during recoveries, jobs bounced back, with seasonally adjusted nonfarm employment expanding almost 12% from March 2010 until January 2017, when President Obama handed over the presidency to Donald Trump.

                              But during the same period, manufacturing employment grew only 7.7% with manufacturing payrolls virtually flat in the last 21 months of the Obama administration.

                              We were told it was the new normal.

                              At a town hall in June 2016, President Obama famously said that some manufacturing jobs “are just not going to come back.” He went on to mock then-candidate Trump by saying he’d need a “magic wand” to make good on this manufacturing job promises.

                              Months later, as the shock of a President-elect Donald Trump was still being absorbed, New York Times columnist and economist Paul Krugman tweeted on November 25, 2016, “Nothing policy can do will bring back those lost jobs. The service sector is the future of work; but nobody wants to hear it.”

                              OMG... I just figured it out. Drumpf is a warlock and has a magic wand! I found a picture of Drumpf in his younger years and he has the wand in his hand!

                                I don’t see any fawning over the Clinton’s except among the black community. That’s an unusual generalization coming from you? You typically aren’t so extreme or rigid.

                                Clintons and Democrats aren’t in power a whole different troop are damaging our country right now.
