WKRO-AM's Howie Carr spoke with Twyla Barnes, a Cherokee genealogist who runs a blog dedicated to Cherokee affairs and who has researched Elizabeth Warren's genealogy and has found absolutely no evidence of any Indian heritage. She said Elizabeth needs to apologize to the Cherokees, to all Native Americans and to the voters for perpetrating a fraud. In her blog Twyla Barnes reached out to Elizabeth Warren and said "It seems you would like the “attacks” against your claims of Cherokee ancestry to stop so I thought I would offer some advice on how to make it stop. Tell the truth…. "

Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama's then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii." The booklet, which was distributed to "business colleagues" in the publishing industry, includes a brief biography of Obama among the biographies of eighty-nine other authors represented by Acton & Dystel. It also promotes Obama's anticipated first book, Journeys in Black and White--which Obama abandoned, later publishing Dreams from My Father instead. Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended Columbia University and worked as a financial journalist and editor for Business International Corporation. He served as project coordinator in Harlem for the New York Public Interest Research Group, and was Executive Director of the Developing Communities Project in Chicago’s South Side. His commitment to social and racial issues will be evident in his first book, Journeys in Black and White.

Two suspected U.S. drone strikes killed up to 12 civilians in southern Yemen on Tuesday, as the Obama administration’s escalated drone war in the unstable Gulf state begins to resemble the one in Pakistan more and more. Reports say up to 15 people were killed in a double air strike in the southern city of Jaar. Up to a dozen civilians were killed, along with 21 injured. The strikes were initially reported as a botched airstrikes by Yemeni airplanes, but Yemen officials later told the media that they had been U.S. drones. The Bureau of Investigative Journalism has recorded up to 746 people killed in U.S. strikes in Yemen since 2002, with as many as 117 confirmed civilians, 24 of them children. Tuesday’s strike is the highest number of civilians killed in a U.S. strike in Yemen since 30 died on 14 July 2011. Over 30 U.S. drone strikes have been launched in Yemen this month, a record in the drone war.

The constant flurry of allegations about Iran’s putative nuclear weapons always runs into a wall when the hawks pushing the case for war are asked to prove it. Today, the Associated Press and the redoubtable George Jahn had somebody get out a sketchpad and draw us up some “evidence.” So all news today on Iran focuses on a drawing, provided by an unknown person who had talked to someone who had totally seen something inside Iran’s Parchin military base. The drawing, computer aided in its design but far from photo-realistic, is of an explosives containment chamber. It’s the sort of drawing one could come up with by doing a simple Google search and looking at photographs of actual, real explosives containment chambers. The drawing shows a cylinder and a cube with a yellow pipe attached to it. It seems as though we’re talking about someone’s art school project, but an unnamed official from the unnamed country that provided the drawing said it “proves the structure exists.” The same apparently cannot be said of Superman or Batman, despite a plethora of much more detailed drawings of the two.
