For those who have followed the construct of the transition nominees this report does seem to highlight the most likely outcome for the Department of Homeland Security.

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is the subject matter expert on how to implement and strengthen the legal enforcement of current immigration laws.  General Kelly would balance the department with a more external focus on threat assessment/prevention. 
Regardless of the appointees, the Trump security policy itself will face rabid opposition from the immigration usurpers within the DC UniParty.  In addition to all Democrats, Decepticon leadership, ie. those paid by Tom Donohue’s expansive lobbying, including: Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Jeff Flake, Mitch McConnell, Orin Hatch and John Cornyn within the Senate; along with Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, Mick Mulvaney etc. within the House.

If anyone thought a Michigan ballot recount was going to end up being a net positive for Hillary Clinton, they are intellectually disconnected from understanding the reality of how fraudulent the most democrat precincts are in Wayne County (Detroit) Michigan.
Election laws put into place specifically to protect the fraud, and ensure the manipulative discoveries are never identified, now mean the votes cannot be recounted.

MICHIGAN – One-third of precincts in Wayne County could be disqualified from an unprecedented statewide recount of presidential election results because of problems with ballots.
Michigan’s largest county voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, but officials couldn’t reconcile vote totals for 610 of 1,680 precincts during a countywide canvass of vote results late last month. (more…)

During a presented Don Lemon discussion panel Monday night, the severity of ridicule against Dr. Ben Carson was jaw-dropping and unprofessional in the extreme.
Removing all pretense of substantive discussion, Don Lemon, Marc Lamont Hill and Peter Beinart began openly mocking the nomination of Dr. Carson for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
The scope and severity of the exhibited ridicule was so over the top, fellow CNN panelist Brian Stelter was both visibly trying to hide his glee and simultaneously uncomfortable joining in amid the laughter and mockery.
If this was any other media panel mocking and ridiculing a black nominee for an Obama administration the calls of racist outrage against the network would be overwhelming. However, as customary within their hypocrisy, the pontificating left-wing ideologues cannot even fathom anyone taking exception. Watch:

Oh, the winning… odd how it just seems to self-create now.
Recently reelected Democrat House Leader Nancy Pelosi (moonbat via San Francisco California) claims, in the face of another historic election loss, the Democrats don’t need a change in direction they just need a better vehicle to communicate their ideology.

3:00pm PST Press Conference – As a follow-up to the earlier discussion – Officials in Oakland California are now stating the death toll has risen to 33 with approximately 40% of the warehouse searched.  Search and recovery teams still have well over half of the warehouse to search.
Fire officials note they were forced to break the warehouse down into four quadrants and they have found bodies in each of the four areas.  The recovery efforts continue within a very difficult crime scene.  Some of the victims are teenagers 16, 17 or perhaps younger.

Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf

The ctrl-left (extremely far-left) liberal Oakland city politicians -including the inept liberal Mayor Libby Schaaf- are fraught with predictable political correctness, plausible deniability, and efforts to avoid their own responsibility in the events that allowed the illegal use of a non-residential building.
During the 6:00pm (EDT) press conference Mayor Schaaf stated she has made every effort in her administration to make Oakland a “safe space” for artists, musicians, and a liberally minded constituency.  Obviously failing to see the irony in her statement, Schaaf reaffirmed her intention to continue this endeavor.

Mr. Pinko at PolitOpinion smartly captures the essence of how CNN smugly tries to promote the concept of “fake news” through a pontificating process of willful blindness.
Remember, as David Mamet accurately stated: in order for liberals to retain their own ideological world-view, they must claim not to know/see things that are brutally obvious to everyone else.  Intentional and willful blindness.
In a recently aired segment of CNN, reporter Alisyn Comerota condescendingly questions a panel of Trump supporters.  One of the inquires stimulates the panel to discuss an interview (prior to the election) where President Obama said illegal alien voters did not need to worry about being in trouble for illegally voting.
CNN’s Comerota smugly refuted the allegation by saying the aforementioned segment was false as it was later broadcast on Fox Business News; therefore the panel’s opinion was wrong. However, the Obama interview did take place, and the statement by President Obama was factually accurate as outlined within the concerns of the panel.

Con artist and former Green Party candidate Jill Stein raised fleeced the alt-left moonbats for more than seven million dollars.  The financial ruse -as it was announced- was to fund an election recount effort in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.  Now this:
Pennsylvania –  According to legal documents, Jill Stein and her campaign failed to post the $1 million bond needed to challenge the election in Pennsylvania. The court proceeding scheduled for Monday has been canceled.
A “praecipe to discontinue and withdraw” was filed citing that Jill Stein did not post the $1 million needed in the matter of the 2016 presidential election.
A source close to the matter told ABC27’s Dennis Owens that Monday’s scheduled court proceeding has been canceled and the challenge is over.
Jill Stein provided the following statement: (more…)

A fire erupted in a warehouse in Oakland California where authorities fear as many as 40 people have likely been killed.  According to most media reports there was a party or gathering at the venue when the fire broke out.  A horrible inferno ensued.
However, what MSM doesn’t provide is an accurate context or backstory.  Such context first begins with noting the location, Oakland California – the epicenter of some of the most recent and violent left-wing political stories.   Examples include the Occupy Wall Street ideologues and the last seven years of liberal riots and protests.
It does not take a deep-dive of research to identify the warehouse was illegal use of a non-residential building to house a communal artistic alt-left group.  Accepting reality in no way intends to lessen the sorrow and horrific tragedy; however, there is a particular irony in the outcome of an affiliated enterprise rebuking the very tenets of regulation and safety compliance that are specifically in place to prevent such an outcome.

To fully understand the level of angst still permeating the failed Hillary Clinton campaign team, it is wise to remember they were so entirely overconfident they actually rented out the entire Javitz center on election night.
That’s 840,000 square feet of celebratory venue on four levels stretching across six city blocks in New York City.
Team Clinton had convinced themselves the election outcome was merely a formality.  Everyone in their concentric circles, including the media, was totally and completely convinced that Hillary Clinton was going to win.  The loss was seismic, tectonic, and beyond jaw-dropping for their echo-chamber.  It caught them entirely unprepared.
That’s the essential backdrop for a level of psychological and emotional denial the Clinton team just cannot bring themselves to overcome.  Last night the severity of their collective grief was on full display during a panel discussion at Harvard University.
It’s somewhat of an election ritual where every four years at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government (CNN’s David Gergen President), opposing teams from the presidential campaigns answer questions together from the media and from each other.
However, this year, Clinton’s advisory team attacked Trump’s campaign team with racism charges, saying “I would rather lose than win the way you guys did.” But the Trump team didn’t take it laying down, and Kellyanne Conway fired right back.
Here’s the explosive confrontation:

OK, this one is entirely priceless and apropos of everything liberal. Seriously folks, you just can’t make this stuff up.

Philadelphia police posted a CCTV video asking for help in identifying two suspects who were caught on camera spray painting anti-Trump graffiti on an upscale grocery store in a Germantown suburb.

One of the suspects is participating while wearing a blue blazer, a scarf, loafers and holding a glass of wine.  Yes, really.  But wait,… as it turns out, the bourgeois vandal is actually the Philadelphia Assistant City Solicitor Duncan Lloyd. – STORY HERE –

“If the image of an upper-middle-class city attorney clad in a blazer and sipping wine while vandalizing an upscale grocery store with an anti-Trump message strikes you as perhaps the most bourgeois sight imaginable, that’s because it is,”
~ Philly Republican Party Chairman Joe DeFelice.
