Native American tribes unhappy about Obamacare employer mandate

Native Americans should vote Republican...

Via The Daily Signal:

Native American tribes are pushing back against a provision of Obamacare mandating that tribal governments provide health insurance to their employees. Tribal leaders say it’s a “misinterpretation” of the law that will cost millions of dollars.
When Congress passed the Affordable Care Act in 2009, lawmakers exempted Native Americans from the individual mandate, shielding them from having to pay a fine for not having insurance. Native Americans could, however, purchase health insurance on the federal exchange, HealthCare.gov, and have access to substantial tax credits, driving down the cost of their plans.[...]
Congress did not, however, exempt Native American tribal governments from Obamacare’s employer mandate, which is already in effect for large employers and goes into effect for small businesses with between 50 and 99 employees next year. Now, tribal governments are beginning to realize the effects the employer mandate could have on reservations’ economies and the lives of their employees.

I wonder if Elizabeth Warren will take up their cause and try to repeal the employer mandate? 

The last time the government went on a forcible disarmament campaign, 297 people were killed...

Burial of the dead after the massacre of Wounded Knee.

It was called the Massacre of Wounded Knee...

The hope here is to direct readers' attention to an important piece published today by Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership. The article is especially recommended to those who believe that the notion of the U.S. committing mass murder in pursuit of "gun control" is a paranoid, right-wing fantasy. If so, it's a "fantasy" that has already happened.

The massacre of Wounded Knee was the direct result of the U.S. Army's 7th Cavalry enforcing the government's forcible disarmament edicts against the Sioux Indian Nation.

December 29, 2012 marked the 122nd Anniversary of the murder of 297 Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. These 297 people, in their winter camp, were murdered by federal agents and members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to confiscate their firearms "for their own safety and protection". The slaughter began AFTER the majority of the Sioux had peacefully turned in their firearms. When the final round had flown, of the 297 dead or dying, two thirds (200) were women and children.

Doubling-down on stupid...

Elizabeth Warren is proud of her nonexistent Native American heritage

There is no evidence Elizabeth Warren has any Cherokee blood in her veins, but she doubles-down stupid.

More evidence Elizabeth Warren got minority preference for being 1/32 Native American

Anyone who would accept minority status based on being 1/32 anything has no character.

(Boston.com) — A second law school, the University of Pennsylvania, has touted Elizabeth Warren as a minority faculty member in an official school publication, according to an online document obtained by the Globe.

The University of Pennsylvania, where Warren taught at the law school from 1987 through 1995, listed her as a minority in a “Minority Equity Report” posted on its website. The report, published in 2005, well after her departure, included her as the winner of a faculty award in 1994. Her name was highlighted in bold, the designation used for minorities in the report.

A spokesman for the law school did not immediately return a phone message today.

The reference offers another piece of evidence that Warren was identified as a Native American as part of her professional career. Warren has said she was unaware that Harvard University, her current employer, had described her as a Native American when it was under fire for a lack of diversity on its law school faculty.

UN wants us to give Mount Rushmore back to Native Americans

Here is an idea. Let's give Native Americans the land the U.N building is setting on.

Via Daily Mail:

A UN human rights official is urging the U.S. to turn over control of lands considered to be sacred to Native Americans, including the site of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial.

James Anaya, the UN special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, unveiled his recommendations in Geneva on Friday after completing a 12-day visit to the U.S. where he met with representatives of indigenous peoples in six states.


The fact-finder also had a chance to meet members of the Obama administration and briefed the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, but no member of Congress agreed to meet with him.

'I have heard stories that make evident the profound hurt that indigenous peoples continue to feel because of the history of oppression they have faced,' Mr Anaya said in a statement.

Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren's lame excuse for pretending to be a Native American

She claims she wanted to meet other people with trace Native American roots. Elizabeth Warren speaks with a forked tongue.

Via Boston Herald:

Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, fending off questions about whether she used her Native American heritage to advance her career, said today she enrolled herself as a minority in law school directories for nearly a decade because she hoped to meet other people with tribal roots.

“I listed myself in the directory in the hopes that it might mean that I would be invited to a luncheon, a group something that might happen with people who are like I am. Nothing like that ever happened, that was clearly not the use for it and so I stopped checking it off,” said Warren.

The Harvard Law professor argued she didn’t use her minority status to get her teaching jobs, and slammed her Republican rival U.S. Sen.Scott Brown for suggesting otherwise.

Nonprofit spends $198 per person, per day on food at conference: Claims Native Americans are expensive to feed

The nonprofit is supposed to provide training and assistance to Native-American. They spent $198 per person, per day on food at conference in New Orleans. Their defense was Native Americans are expensive to feed. The US Department of Justice isn't buying it.

The center said its staff members “know that in order to earn the trust of American Indian grantees and to engage them . . . it was crucial to provide participants with a reasonable breakfast,’’ according to the report. The center also said it spent extra money on healthy foods because Native Americans suffer from disproportionately high rates of diabetes.
