Political funny picture thread, part 3

So Fauxcahontas isn't quite as faux as we thought. Whodathunkit?. I like The Donald but since he volunteered to donate $1,000,000 to charity if she'd take a DNA test, I think he ought to pony up. She's still about 135# of unadulterated liberal socialist and would prolly eat childrens, eyeballs first if it meant she'd get the power of the presidency.

Maybe that charity could be the NRA.

I seriously question that DNA test. Lots of so-called authorities on a subject are willing to say anything, and even testify anything, for money, especially if they are liberals. I would like to see a DNA test done and analyzed by a neutral party before putting any faith at all in her claim. She just went out and bought the statement she wanted.

My limited understanding of the DNA tests available is that a blue-eyed Swedish near-albino would come back showing 30 different strains of human, including African. Quite the money maker for these faux 'scientific' capitalist companies.

And not even "authentic" NA DNA was used for the profile, she's just as likely to be 1/1024 columbian...

Detecting DNA for Native Americans is particularly tricky because there is an absence of Native American DNA available for comparison. This is in part because Native American leaders have asked tribal members not to participate in genetic databases.“The tribes have felt they have been exploited,” explained Lawrence Brody, a senior investigator with the Medical Genomics and Metabolic Genetics Branch at the National Institutes of Health. “The amount of genetic data that is available from Native Americans is sparse.”
To make up for the dearth of Native American DNA, Bustamante used samples from Mexico, Peru, and Colombia to stand in for Native American. That’s because scientists believe that the groups Americans refer to as Native American came to this land via the Bering Strait about 12,000 years ago and settled in what’s now America but also migrated further south. His report explained that the use of reference populations whose genetic material has been fully sequenced was designed “for maximal accuracy.”

1/1024 = 0.0977%. My understanding is the typical European American has an average of 0.18% 'merican injun. So, she is still below average.

DNA testing for identity purposes and paternal determination is very good, however testing for heritage purposes is not conclusive and subject to interpretation so it does not prove anything. It merely suggests statistical possibilities.

Native American heritage is particularly difficult to show since the Native American tribal leaders have decided their people should not participate in providing DNA samples. This means the DNA banks have very little Native American data and the results have to be interpreted using more circuitous thinking. This results in lower confidence levels and more dependence on interpretation.

As has been noted, DNA testing for ancestry is nowhere near conclusive. What the companies who provide the testing and analysis are saying is that someone's DNA has markers that they have identified as being consistent with specific groups or regions. I don't think anyone can legitimately assert that the marker they are using are exclusive to those groups, but just more common than to others.
