**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.

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.

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.” Offering a rare...

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.

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.

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

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

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

**Written by Doug Powers 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...

Obama adds ‘explaining Trump’ to final World Apology Tour duties; ‘Mostly peaceful’ leftists chant ‘kill the police’ (Sunday open thread)

The concierge could have gotten rid of Moore fast by just telling him he could see Trump but the elevators are down so he'd have to take the stairs. ***** John Kerry's gravely concerned about man-made global warming, so he took his eco-friendly kumquat-powered zero carbon magical flying machine from one of his mansions all the way to Antarctica to teach penguins all about hypocrisy: Kerry will soon be out at the State Department but his **Written by Doug Powers Welcome to the first “mostly ...

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

Speaking with Democrats who raised over...

You might be done with the Clintons, but the Clintons don’t want to be done with YOU

**Written by Doug Powers 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: While some pundits are declaring the Clinton political dynasty dead, sources tell us that it is far from over. Chelsea Clinton is being groomed for the New York seat held by Rep. Nita Lowey. Chelsea could run for the seat in NYC's 1...
