ND game officials seek help in poaching crime near #DAPL camp

While there is no proof that this disturbing video--which includes foul language and graphic violence--has anything to do with the protests at the Dakota Access Pipeline, its worth it to me as a blog entry.

From the Billings Gazette:

Animal cruelty charges could be considered after a disturbing video surfaced of an apparent deer poaching incident that occurred last fall near the Dakota Access protest camps, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department said.

The agency released the video to the public in hopes of identifying men who pulled a deer to shore after it was struggling in the Cannonball River, stabbed the animal multiple times and suffocated it by shoving its nose in the mud.

The department received the video last week from a concerned citizen who saw it on Facebook, said Scott Winkelman, investigations supervisor.

Great Again: "Trump Effect" big part of Detroit Auto Show

Cobo Hall, site of Detroit
Auto Show

The globalism of Barack Obama is already in the rear view mirror of the auto industry.

From the Detroit News:

Automakers emphasized their commitments to build cars and trucks in the U.S. almost as often as they premiered new vehicles in the first days of the Detroit auto show.

Despite auto executives' repeated assurances that President-elect Donald Trump has not influenced their decision-making, the pledges came amid a steady stream of Twitter posts from Trump about building cars on U.S. soil.

The so-called "Trump effect" was palpable during the first two media days of the North American International Auto Show, while automakers wait to see if he delivers on campaign promises to renegotiate trade deals and slap tariffs on vehicles imported from Mexico and China — and hope they aren’t the next to be targeted.

Not just murder: All violent crime way up in Chiraq

"Building a New Chicago"

Here's a report that will embarrass Barack Obama, who returns to Chicago later today to give his farewell address.

Obama of course won't be living in Chicago after he moves out of the White House next week.

From ABC Chicago:

There are stunning new crime numbers from the FBI: in Chicago, it isn't just murders and shootings that are up - it is all violent crime.

Newly-obtained FBI data show that the crime surge in Chicago goes beyond the end of a gun. Overall violent crime - an umbrella figure that includes murder, rape, robbery and assault - jumped significantly here the first half of last year, an increase more than four times higher than the rest of the nation.

According to this FBI report, violent crime in the U.S. increased a little more than five percent the first half of last year. But in Chicago during the same period, overall violent crime heaved 24 percent.

While the numbers were driven by a surge in Chicago murders - 49 percent higher than the previous year - FBI data show the increase in all violent crime categories in Chicago is significantly outpacing the nation, with aggravated assault up 23 percent and robbery 28 percent higher.

(Video) Obama blames lack of "chief organizer" for Dems' defeat

Hillary Clinton didn't just lose the presidency. The Democrats failed to win back the House or the Senate. There are 33 Republican governors and the GOP controls 32 state legislatures.

Why did the Dems do so poorly in 2016.

Lame duck President Barack Obama blames that on lack of a "chief organizer." Chief organizer? That's the type of post you'd find in a failed socialist state. Of course Obama is too twisted by ideology to come to a different conclusion: people like conservative policy better.

(Video) Watch CNN reporters whine about being hated

This video is unintentionally funny. Watch as four CNN reporters complain about their unpopularity. Of course they blame Donald Trump and not their biased network's coverage.

Absent from their rant is mentions of the Clinton News Network colluding with the Democratic National Committee involving Wolf Blitzer, as well as two incidents of then-CNN analyst Donna Brazile sharing Democratic debate questions with the Hillary Clinton campaign.

One of the whiners you see is Brian Stelter, who mused on air on whether the media was too balanced as it covered the 2016 presidential election.

And these propagandists can't figure out why they are hated.

Chiraq: 1 dead and 8 wounded over weekend

The new year is off to a relatively peaceful start. Bitter cold weather probably had a lot to do with it, but just one person was murdered and only eight others were wounded in Chicago in the first full weekend of 2017.

But when you dig into the shootings and where they occurred, there is reason to worry, as most of them took place in normally quiet, relatively speaking, parts of Chiraq. The murder happened in the University Village neighborhood on the West Side. There were two Western Avenue shootings--one in Lincoln Square on the North Side and in Beverly on the Southwest Side. A man was shot in both hands in a Hyde Park drive-by, about a mile from President Obama's mansion in Kenwood. The soon to be ex-president will stay in Washington when his term expires next week. And on the Northwest Side, in Portage Park, a man was shot during an argument.

The four other shootings took place some of the usual hotbeds of violence. There were two North Lawndale shootings and two in Back of the Yards.

But the temperatures are climbing today.

#ChicagoValues: Free tickets to Obama Farewell being scalped for up to $5K

Chicago's lakefront

Chicago values are being played out when you of course most expect it.

From the Chicago Tribune:

While President Barack Obama's farewell address was intended to be a free event for those hoping to hear his final oration as commander in chief, there appears to be no shortage of people looking to make a profit from the historic occasion.

Obama, a former U.S. senator turned two-term president, will deliver his last presidential speech Tuesday evening at Chicago's McCormick Place. Free tickets were available on a first-come, first-served basis Saturday morning, prompting several thousand people to withstand single-digit temperatures to wait in line for tickets. By 7 a.m., Chicago police officials were warning hopefuls not already in line not to bother. The crowds had grown so large that all of the available tickets would be scooped up.

By Sunday, advertisements to auction dozens of the elusive tickets had sprouted up on secondary market websites like eBay and Craigslist asking for as much as $5,000 apiece.

Left unclear, however, was whether those tickets were legitimate or could be legally sold.

From Da Tech Guy: Obama's chickens coming home to roost as he gives Chicago farewell address

Checking in at over 1,000 words--all of them essential--my longest post at Da Tech Guy to date is up. After eight years of the Barack Obama regime I have a lot to say: Obama's chickens coming home to roost as he gives Chicago farewell address.

Judge Jeanine asks: Are Americans worried about Russian hacking?

In her Street Justice segment on her Fox News show, Judge Jeanine Pirrro asks people on the street if they are worried about Russian hacking.

For the most part, they aren't.

(Video) Earnest confronted over Obama being first president since Hoover to not have 3% growth in year

Lame duck President Barack Obama is the first president since Herbert Hoover--who presided over the Great Depression--not to see 3 percent growth over a year.

Leftism is the cause.

Yesterday a reporter confronted Dear Leader's press secretary, Josh "Not-So" Earnest about this shameful part of Obama's legacy.
