**Written by Doug Powers My working theory is that the election of Trump was nothing but a massive plot by campus psychology offices to justify big boosts in funding needed in order to counsel traumatized whiffle-esteemed rose petals who feel crushed by the weight of the real world. Case in point, Stanford University following the election of Donald Trump: The session the other day was canceled after counselors enlisted the assistance of two therapy dogs named Cashew and Pecan, but an anti-Tr...

**Written by Doug Powers Apparently Michelle Obama, with just a few weeks of White House living remaining, is concerned about maintaining her garden and might see if her husband can plant a couple “pen and phone” seeds in the dirt: Michelle Obama wants one thing set in stone before she leaves the White House — her beloved garden. The first lady has already taken steps to preserve her fruitful green space, purchasing a stone plaque for it with the inscription, “WHITE HOUSE KITCHEN GARDEN establis...

**Written by Doug Powers The Hollywood Left always thinks this is supposed to be some sort of threat causing people to lose sleep when in fact the real buzzkill comes when everybody realizes they're not going to follow through with more empty promises: Dozens of celebrities vowed to leave the country if Donald Trump won the White House, saying they'd flee to everywhere from Canada to Jupiter. The threat is a common one after any election outcome: Canada's immigration website crashed from heavy t...

Identity Politics in America: a Post-Mortem by Michelle MalkinCreators Syndicate Copyright 2016 Here is what eight years of President Obama's “post-racial” reign have wrought. The weekend before Election Day, Hillary Clinton grinned from ear to ear at a Cleveland rally while reciting a verse from Jay-Z's remix of Young Jeezy's “My President is Black.” As the rapper and his Black Lives Matter-promoting wife, Beyonce, beamed on stage nearby, pandersuit-clad Clinton twanged with a stilted accent: “...

**Written by Doug Powers Buckle up, and off we go. Polls close in the east in a couple hours so here's a thread for discussion about whatever ends up going down tonight. I'll post some updates later. Earlier in the day, Hillary tried to prove that she's ready to fill Obama's shoes, because she said that voting for herself was a “humbling” experience. If she wins Obama might as well go ahead and leave the selfie-sticks behind as a gift. Both Clinton and Trump are in Manhattan tonight watching t...

These are the people who say Republicans don't care about the environment? Imagine what the planet would look like if everybody cared about the environment as much as these people. Is that a smashed hard drive in the mix there? **Written by Doug Powers Twitter **Written by Doug Powers Remember the hundred tons of garbage left strewn about the Washington Mall after self-proclaimed stewards of the environment heralded the arrival of the Obama era in January of 2009? The “clean planet” torch w...

**Written by Doug Powers Yeah, the president who promised “if you like your plan you can keep it” pitched Hillary this way heading into Election Day: Obama, as he often does, took aim at what he called the “dust cloud of nonsense” and misinformation festering on social media. He also criticized mainstream media coverage that he said was not always “on the level.” “I want you to tune out all the noise, and I want you just to focus,” he said. “I am asking you to trust me on this one. … I voted for...

**Written by Doug Powers Self-acclaimed savior of mankind John Kerry will depart soon for a trip that will take him to Antarctica to get a firsthand look at the effects from “climate change.” In the process, Kerry will torch tens of thousands of gallons of jet fuel in a last-ditch effort to make it into the record books as the catalyst for the biggest self-fulfilling prophecy of all time: Secretary of State John Kerry will be headed toward the South Pole on Election Day for an historic visit ...

**Written by Doug Powers Meanwhile, back at Hillary's house… “It says ‘Classified: For Secretary Clinton's eyes only, from the president.' Wow!” That's right, the Clinton campaign is changing their slogan in the final hours before Election Day from “Stronger Together” to “Maid to Order”: As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton routinely asked her maid to print out sensitive government e-mails and documents — including ones containing classified information — from her house in Washington, DC, e-...

**Written by Doug Powers Well, the Clinton Crime Syndicate's wholly-owned subsidiary called the Clinton Foundation has fessed up about accepting a generous “gift” from Qatar made while Hillary was secretary of state that was never reported: The Clinton Foundation has confirmed it accepted a $1 million gift from Qatar while Hillary Clinton was U.S. secretary of state without informing the State Department, even though she had promised to let the agency review new or significantly increased suppor...

**Written by Doug Powers In a Hollywood Reporter article about Tinseltown liberals' election night plans, the wife George Stephanopoulos set the couples' sights on Australia if Trump wins: Ali Wentworth would rather go down under with husband George Stephanopoulos: “If Trump wins, we'll start looking at real estate in Sydney, Australia. No crime, no guns.” So that's supposed to sway my vote toward Hillary? She'll have to do better than that. Oh, and Barbra Streisand also said she's outta here if...

**Written by Doug Powers The long and winding road leading to Hillary's ultimate possible self-pardoning continues to unfold: The FBI has found emails related to Hillary Clinton's tenure as secretary of state on the laptop belonging to the estranged husband of Huma Abedin, Anthony Weiner, according to a U.S. official. These emails, CBS News' Andres Triay reports, are not duplicates of emails found on Secretary Clinton's private server. At this point, however, it remains to be seen whether these ...

**Written by Doug Powers There's a good reason President Obama never seems concerned that his target audience will connect the dots of irony and laugh him off the stage, and that's because it never happens — even when he lays classics like this on them: President Barack Obama on Tuesday called on men to “look inside” themselves and think about bias if they have any doubt about voting for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. “To the guys out there, I want to be honest,” Obama told a crowd in Colum...

**Written by Doug Powers John Edwards had “Two Americas,” and Hillary's got “Two FBI Investigations.” The first FBI investigation of course involves Hillary, Huma, Weiner, et al, which sounds like the name of a law firm you'd never hire. Fox News reported Wednesday that it's quite possible Hillary's homebrew server was hacked by multiple international actors: BRET BAIER: Here's the deal: We talked to two separate sources with intimate knowledge of the FBI investigations. One: The Clinton Founda...

**Written by Doug Powers You can be pretty sure that Team Hillary is very concerned for the Clinton campaign's Anthony Weiner's well being and is doing everything in their power to make sure he gets the help he needs and is absolutely isolated for at least the next six days: Anthony Weiner, the husband of Hillary Clinton's closest aide Huma Abedin, has checked into a rehab facility for treatment of sex addition. Out-of-control Weiner, who has been sending sexually-charged messages and obscene pi...

A FIFTH Clinton presidency? Hill, no! by Michelle MalkinCreators Syndicate Copyright 2016 I keep hearing that Hillary Clinton would be “Obama's third term.” The math is wrong. Barack Obama served the Clinton crime family's third and fourth term. Electing Hillary would doom America to a fifth Clinton White House. From 1993-2001, under the “Two for the Price of One” Clinton regime, we suffered through Travelgate, Filegate, Whitewatergate, Missing Rose Law Firm Billing Records-gate, Chinagate, Linc...

**Written by Doug Powers When you've been somebody's top aide for over two decades and they start calling you “one of my staffers,” something's going on: Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton blasted the FBI again Monday – and this time brought up the bureau's probe into emails maintained by longtime aide Huma Abedin – dismissing the idea she did anything wrong while minimizing the role of her close staffer. ‘Now they apparently want to look at emails of one of my staffers – and by a...

**Written by Doug Powers This morning I saw some Hillary defender on Fox News saying that these Clinton scandals are “all smoke but no fire.” If that's remotely true, it's only because the Clintons are lucky to know plenty of people in high places skilled in the use of fire extinguishers: The Justice Department official in charge of informing Congress about the newly reactivated Hillary Clinton email probe is a political appointee and former private-practice lawyer who kept Clinton Campaign C...

**Written by Doug Powers The Clinton cesspool has no bottom: The surprise disclosure that agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation are taking a new look at Hillary Clinton's email use lays bare, just days before the election, tensions inside the bureau and the Justice Department over how to investigate the Democratic presidential nominee. Investigators found 650,000 emails on a laptop used by former Rep. Anthony Weiner and his estranged wife Huma Abedin, a close Clinton aide, and underlyi...
