From “Kill Bush” to #AssassinateTrump: The return of assassination fascination
by Michelle MalkinCreators Syndicate
Copyright 2016
Alert the CDC: Left-wing America has been overcome by another contagious epidemic of assassination fascination. It's time to declare a public health crisis.
In San Antonio last week, two high school students performed a sicko skit depicting the assassination of President-elect Donald Trump.
In Cleveland, unhinged 24-year-old Zachary Benson tweeted his “life goal is...

Another headline for the Obama-era time capsule: ‘Denver Sheriff’s Department fined $10K for hiring only US citizens’
**Written by Doug Powers
This just in from the Having Solved All Other Problems department:
The Denver Sheriff's Department set out to hire scores of deputies last year to lessen the burden on its staff and cut millions in overtime.
It advertised for prospects, and included U.S. citizenship as a requirement.
By this past spring, it had hired 200 deputies.
The Justice Department did not congratulate the agency – instead, it slapped Colorado's largest sheriff's department with a $10,000 fine and a...

Stronger Together: Hillary consoling grieving supporters one-by-one with chance encounters at random locations
**Written by Doug Powers
Now that Hillary Clinton's got more free time thanks to a lull in FBI questioning and a Foundation donation mailbag that isn't as heavy as it used to be, she might be taking it upon herself to personally console depressed supporters, one “Stronger Together” hug at a time.
A couple weeks ago, Clinton happened upon a supporter while walking near Chappaqua:
Hillary's easing her supporters' pain one by one:
She said she went for a walk with her daughter because she was s...

Perfect: President who pledged to ‘fundamentally transform’ country will speak out if Trump violates American ‘values or ideals’
**Written by Doug Powers
What a big difference eight years and a liberal presidential loss makes.
Late October 2008:
We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.
November 2016:
It just depends on who's doing the “transforming”:
President Barack Obama said Sunday he doesn't intend to become his successor's constant critic — but reserved the right to speak out if President-elect Donald Trump or his policies breach certain “values or ideals.”

Go figure! Clinton Foundation’s hurting without a highly placed influence peddler
**Written by Doug Powers
The numbers below are from 2015 when Hillary was running — before she lost but after she (or Bill) could overtly keep delivering favors. Just imagine the nosedive now that there are zero Clintons in political positions to peddle their major export, which is influence:
Donations to the Clinton Foundation plummeted amid Hillary Clinton's failed presidential run, it has been revealed.
The non-profit organization's latest tax filings show contributions fell 37 per cent to ...

Michael Moore tells Trump ‘Hamilton’ was just the beginning; Harry Reid inadvertently leaves Dems screwed (Sunday open thread)
**Written by Doug Powers
Another Sunday, another open thread with no shortage of stuff to talk about….
First off, Donald Trump said the cast of “Hamilton” was “rude” to Mike Pence, causing Michael Moore to say “I'll show ya rude!”
If this culminates in Moore trying to climb the outside of Trump Tower using suction cups it'll all be worth it.

Harry Reid's retiring soon, but not without having taken a parting shot… at Dems. His move as Senate Majority Leader in 2013 is about to backfire ba...

Theater critics: ‘Hamilton,’ the play that judges the audience instead of the other way around
**Written by Doug Powers
A few weeks ago the cast of “Hamilton” did an extra performance as a fundraiser for Hillary's campaign, and you know how that turned out.
Payback time: Mike Pence was in attendance for Friday night's performance, and one of the cast members made sure to personalize the show:
With Vice President-elect Mike Pence attending the show, the cast used the opportunity to make a statement emphasizing the need for the new administration of President-elect Donald J. Trump, a Repu...

Obama: Trump happened because ‘we’re not serious about facts’ (See also: ‘If you like your plan’ and ‘video to blame for Benghazi’)
**Written by Doug Powers
Yesterday in Germany, President Obama started off a press conference by telling leftist protesters to pipe down and settle election disputes at the ballot box — JUST KIDDING:
President Barack Obama has little sympathy for President-elect Donald Trump when it comes to the protests against him, and he offered up some advice for his successor: Get used to it.
“I've been the subject of protests during the course of my eight years,” Obama said at a joint news conference with ...

Of course: Harry ‘the election isn’t rigged’ Reid knows EXACTLY why Hillary lost (spoiler: the election was rigged)
**Written by Doug Powers
Remember way back when Harry Reid was mocking Donald Trump for suggesting the election might be “rigged” in any way?
But that was WEEKS ago! Reid's now says FBI Director Comey rigged the election in Hillary's favor:
“I love Hillary Clinton, I'm sorry she lost, I did everything I could to help,” Reid explained. “There is no question in my mind, she would have won this election without any problem if Comey had not been the Republican operative that he is.”

Bipartisanship! NRCC endorses Nancy Pelosi to continue as leader of House Dems

Nancy Pelosi's often calling on Republicans to work with Democrats, and her wish has come true:
In a post on their site, the National Republican Congressional Committee endorsed Mrs. Pelosi as minority leader, saying she was invaluable in putting the chamber in Republican hands.

Hillary hasn't looked this dour since being told that her basement server became self-aware after Anthony Weiner borrowed Huma's laptop:

Post-election investment advice: Go long on therapy dog (and cat) providers
**Written by Doug Powers
A couple days after the election I speculated that therapy dogs would have to be brought in to console those traumatized by the election. What I didn't realize is that the real world had already beat me to it. This happened on Capitol Hill after the election:
On a gloomy, rainy morning in D.C. — where President-elect Donald Trump won only 4 percent of the vote the night before — five therapy dogs waited to put a smile on staffers' faces.
“I feel so much better now,” one ...

Kris Kobach for DHS Secretary
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is—hands down, no contest—the best, strongest, and most logical choice to head Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security.
President-elect Donald Trump made immigration enforcement and border security the centerpiece of his winning campaign. He defied the open-borders establishment on the Left and the Right. He listened to American victims of illegal immigration who were snubbed by the RNC. He was endorsed by American worke...

Great: President who added $9 trillion to nat’l debt in 8 years offers Greece his financial adviser services

Twitter **Written by Doug Powers
President Obama is overseas showing the world that Obamacare covers compunction bypass surgery. In Greece as part of his “Barack tries to explain Trump to the world” tour, Obama proved that any self-awareness he might have once had long ago is getting as crumbled and grown over as the Delphi Theater by warning politicians against the use of divisive rhetoric while blaming unrest on the streets of U.S. cities on Republicans who oppose...

The mayors of several cities have vowed to defy federal law and remain “sanctuary cities”:
Mayor Rahm Emanuel tried to sell people in the country illegally on the Windy City, saying yesterday in not so many words, “If you're gonna get shot in any sanctuary city in America, make it Chicago!”

If you like your denial, you can keep it: Obama glad to be leaving office without ‘significant scandal’

Before departing on his final World Apology Tour Monday night, President Obama prepped the country for Donald Trump and challenged the incoming administration to meet the high standards they've set (not counting the FBI investigations, Attorney General found in contempt of Congress, etc.):
President Obama said Americans had to “reconcile themselves” to the Trump presidency, and — in a surprising turnabout from his pre-election rhetoric — spoke optimistically about the pr...

Hillary knows who’s at fault for scrubbing her election chances (rhymes with ‘tames romey’)

This predictable deflection of blame gets seals of approval from Cheryl Mills, Anthony Weiner, Hillary's likability coach, and whoever advised her to proudly proclaim she was going to put an entire industry in a swing state out of business:
Hillary Clinton pinned the blame for her defeat on FBI Director James Comey's letters about her email arrangement in a conference call with her top campaign contributors on Saturday afternoon.

When weepy staffers at a federal agency need counseling and time off after an election, it’s time for trimming

The EPA has developed an arrogant “tough sh*t, deal with it” attitude about their job-killing regulations and bloated bureaucracy, but now they're getting a little nervous:
U.S. EPA employees were in tears. Worried Energy Department staffers were offered counseling. Some federal employees were so depressed, they took time off. Others might retire early.
And some employees are in downright panic mode in the aftermath of Donald Trump's victory.
“People are upset. Some peop...

Just when you thought the coast might be clear:
The Clintons must still have a ton of political favors to repay, which is why Hillary losing the White House was such a gut punch. But they might have a backup plan, albeit on a smaller scale:
