President-elect Donald Trump plans to meet with Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke as he continues to vet possible candidates for his administration. Trump transition team officials confirmed that the president-elect would meet with Clarke on Monday, after he returns to Trump Tower from his Thanksgiving trip to Mar-a-largo in Florida. Officials did not say whether Trump is offering Clarke a position with his administration, but signaled interest in his opinions. “The president elect meets with individuals who he believes he wants to hear their ideas, suggestions and opinions and then sometimes considers them for multiple potential positions,” Trump transition team’s...

Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. is scheduled to meet Monday in New York with President-elect Donald Trump, according to news reports quoting a Trump aide. Clarke, who runs as a Democrat, was a high-profile surrogate for Trump during the campaign. Clarke has been mentioned as a potential Trump appointee to head the Department of Homeland Security. When asked earlier this month if he expected a role in the Trump White House, Clarke told national syndicated radio host Joe Pags: "I don't expect anything, I don't have an entitlement mentality. I told Donald Trump I wanted to help him,...

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, it’s 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.

Donald Trump’s election was a tremendous repudiation of the America-loathing, servitude-loving, corruption-enabling, cop-hating culture that’s been growing steadily in America under the tutelage of leftist groups. In our democracy, the winner is still celebrated. But after witnessing the pathetic riots disguised as protests on our nation’s streets I’m wondering how long that could last.

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said in an interview Thursday he was open to serving in the Trump administration if a position was offered. In an interview with radio host Joe Pags, Clarke was asked if he was expecting a role in Trump's White House. "I don't expect anything, I don't have an entitlement mentality," Clarke said. "I told Donald Trump I wanted to help him, because I thought that this country needed his leadership. That being said, if the President asks you to serve, you step up to fulfill that duty. So if he feels that I can help...

A University of New Haven lecturer behind canceling a campus appearance by Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke has come forward to apologize for misrepresenting the popular conservative sheriff. Patrick Malloy, a senior lecturer at the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences, issued a statement last week saying he and university officials decided not to finalize the event with Sheriff Clarke because of his political views and extravagant requests for his arrival, which Mr. Malloy admitted he “unintentionally” misrepresented. “I would like to apologize and take responsibility for my actions that have compromised the University of New Haven...

Sheriff David Clarke is incensed about Hillary's comments during the debate. He's on fire!

An outspoken pro-Trump sheriff floored a drunk and verbally aggressive passenger as their flight was landing. Preston Bluntson, 36, was arrested and charged with intoxication and disruptive behavior after an American Airlines flight from Milwaukee to Charlotte on Saturday. He was detained by David A. Clarke Jr, the Milwaukee County Sheriff . . 'He was yelling at passengers, the flight attendants, and would not calm down no matter what,' the sheriff wrote. 'One newspaper reported incorrectly that the man was berating me the entire flight, which wasn't true. Had he come at me with that, I would've just kicked his...

A black leader from the Nation of Islam is calling for an economic boycott of the city of Charlotte. “Since black lives don’t matter in the city, then our black dollars shouldn’t matter,” he said: Video: Sheriff David Clarke Reacts to The Charlotte Riots Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke responded, saying the fact that Keith L. Scott wielded a gun when police approached him, and that he was shot by a black officer, was purposely left out of the story by the liberal media “to stoke up anger and resentment”: Look at what was on display last night. It...

During a recent interview on Fox News, Sheriff David Clarke was asked about Hillary Clinton’s ability to garner the black vote. Clarke said he anticipated she would get a large number of black votes, though not as many as Bill Clinton did and not nearly the number Barack Obama won. I don’t think any of that was a major news flash, but during the conversation Clarke used a word to describe Clinton that got right to the heart of things: sinister.

The largest union representing New York City police officers has awarded its man of the year honor to an outspoken black conservative and supporter of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, known for his criticisms of the Black Lives Matter movement as well as President Obama, was named Man of the Year by the New York Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association. Annual honors in the past have often gone to elected leaders or lawmen with New York ties — such as the 2015 award to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo or to former New York Police Department Commissioner...

Growing up, I watched a lot of Westerns. In addition to the cowboy hero, the town sheriff was almost always a model of integrity. He stood for law and order against bank robbers, cattle rustlers and horse thieves all trying to disrupt the peace. A contemporary and real-life version of those fictional characters is Sheriff David Clarke of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Clarke has been trying to restore law and order after several nights of rioting following the shooting death of 23-year-old Sylville Smith by a Milwaukee police officer. Smith had a lengthy criminal record, longer than some people's resumes. He...

Hey media, they're "riots" not "protests" Dear media outlets, All the violence we’ve been witnessing in Milwaukee for the last few days? Yeah, that’s not a “protest.” You keep calling it that, but the fact is you’re just plain wrong. These are “riots.” Ugly, violent, racist, riots. I know, I know. You get all uncomfortable when you’re forced to report things accurately. You hate to use a label that you think will get you called “racist” by the left. God forbid you’re not invited to the White House correspondent’s dinner.

The Milwaukee riots should be the last time the policies of liberal Democrats are held up as anything other than misery-inducing, divisive, exploitative and racist manipulation of the urban populations. Unfortunately they won’t. As Sheriff of Milwaukee County, I am furious that the progressive left has put my citizens in harm’s way and that I had to send my officers into cauldrons of anarchy and hatred that were created by the left. As an elected public servant I am livid that Milwaukee’s pathetic, kowtowing city officials and aldermen take this opportunity to abandon their citizens and preen before the...

Live going on now.
