As President-elect Donald Trump continues to flesh out his cabinet, rumors continue to swirl about the possible selections for various positions.
The New York Times is reporting that Trump may choose a prominent African-American to the role of Secretary of Homeland Security.
The choice of a minority should please liberals far and wide.
Just kidding, its David Clarke, a staunch conservative and man who kicks a** and takes names when it comes to far-left rioters and radical Islamic terrorists. A perfect choice for American law and order.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We have no idea how sharp he is on economics, foreign policy, etc. We only know he is a no-nonsense law&order guy, which may not translate to the breadth needed to be POTUS.
Sheriff Clarke is a true MENSCH!
Was soooo impressed the first time I saw him after the Ferguson riots.
He certainly is not one to suffer fools gladly!
First Sheriff in the USA was in 1620
More than twelve hundred years ago, the country we now call England was inhabited by small groups of Anglo-Saxons who lived in rural communities called tuns (a group of ten families).
The Anglo-Saxon word for chief was gerefa, which was later shortened to reeve (group of 100 families). During the next two centuries, a number of changes occurred in there system which led to a new unit of government, the shire (groups of hundreds banded together), which is now known in America as a county. So to distinguish the leader of a shire from the leader of a mere hundred, the more powerful official name became known as a shire-reeve.
The word shire-reeve eventually became the modern word for sheriff (the keeper, or chief, of the county).
In the year 871, under King Alfred the Great, the Sheriff was responsible for maintaining law and order within his own county.
Over the years as the country became more centralized the King distributed huge tracts of land to various nobleman who governed those lands under the Kings authority. The nobleman appointed the Sheriff for the counties he controlled and for those areas not given to noblemen, the King appointed his own Sheriff.
In 1066, more than ever before the Sheriff became the agent of the King and his new duties was that of tax collector.
In 1215, King John signed the Magna Carta. In the text of the Magna Carta it mentioned the role of the Sheriff nine times further establishing the importance of the office.
Over the next few centuries, the Sheriff remained the leading law enforcement officer for the county
Sheriff Clarke is a man standing in a long line of the Sheriff....over a thousand years old.....
I like this man a lot.
Trump is loyal to his supporters
and those that have a STRONG message to ALL!
Clarke is that Man!
Go TRUMP GO!
He only has to have America First
we had just too many experts on economics and foreign policy in the past.
The RATs should have run him for the presidency in 2008 instead of a Kenyan with a crazy name. He would have been an honorable first black president.
I watched it live that night and was kinda stunned.
After that night Lemon went full-throttle, anti Trump.
Sheriff of Nottingham would be a good pick. Dems are modern robbing hoods.
SUPERB!!!!
wonder if other blacks will start behaving.
I love it
Democrat In Name Only from what I have seen of him on Fox News.
Boo ya! Hoping he’ll be wearing his cowboy hat to the White House.
Future presidential candidate, imho - and he’d be the real first black **American** president.
Thank you for the history lesson! Loved it!
A democrat! They want a reach across the aisle - BAM! Loving it.
Exactly.
I thought Comey’s replacement at FBI, but DHS would work, too
Every time ‘pajama boy’ or some other effeminate male shows up on a thread, a photo of Sheriff Clarke would be posted to return the mindset to the normalcy of manhood.
Send him in to shut down Homeland. Then send him in to shut down the TSA. Then send him over to the UN to say, “You have 48 hours to get out of our country. Just kidding! You have 24.”
