Mark Dice on the leftist Oscars broadcast: You Won’t Believe It

Viewers were promised an Oscars broadcast with positivity and inclusion. But like an alcoholic who promises no more drinking and then guzzles another beer, Hollywood can't control itself. Host Jimmy Kimmel, a hardened leftist, led the barrage of attacks on President Trump, Vice President Pence, and Fox News Viewers.

Mark Dice tells the tale.

Top Ten Most Violent Neighborhoods in Chicago #2 2017

Victor Maggio's Bloody Chicago countdown is nearly finished. Garfield Park--both east and west--is Chicago's second most violent neighborhood. Graced by the beautiful and expansive namesake park at it center, Garfield Park is otherwise surrounded by misery.

Maggio also explores good reasons for community mistrust of the Chicago Police in minority neighborhoods--a few bad apples such as torturer Victor Burge, drug dealer Joseph Miedzianowski, jewel thief William Hanhardt, and of course Jason Van Dyke, who faces murder charges over the death of Laquan McDonald.

But most cops are just trying to do their jobs and put away the bad guys.

Trump Highway in Utah?

Normally I oppose naming things, buildings and the like, after living people. But the annoyance factor will be so high with leftists, I have to throw my support on this idea, which involves a road I've driven on.

From the Deseret News:

A state lawmaker known for fighting the federal government over public lands wants to rename a southern Utah highway after President Donald Trump.

Rep. Mike Noel, R-Kanab, introduced a bill Thursday that would rename a route winding through some of the state's most spectacular scenery "Donald J. Trump Utah National Parks Highway."

Noel sees the designation as a thank you to the president for shrinking the Grand-Staircase-Escalante National Monument, something he said other presidents wouldn't do over the years.

"Just for me personally, he’s one of my heroes that he stood up and did this," Noel said. "I know people have a lot of negative things to say about him. Nobody’s perfect. I’m not dwelling on those things. I dwell on the things he’s done for my state and my constituents."

Mark Dice: YouTube's Censorship is Out of Control

YouTube, Mark Dice tells us, recently hired 10,000 social justice warrior types to crack down on conservative channels. One trick of the left, and I hear this all of hem time, is to label any ideas they don't like as "hate speech."

Armed security guards patrolling downtown Chicago

The latest news from Chiraq comes from ABC Chicago:

Local businesses are paying for armed guards to patrol State Street in the Loop so shoppers and pedestrians feel safe coming downtown.

The guards are known as "street ambassadors," and they will be able to make arrests.

Thursday is the first day for the security detail, now out patrolling the State Street corridor thanks to the Chicago Loop Alliance.

"The Chicago Loop Alliance, their whole purpose is making the downtown Loop a more livable, workable safe friendly, inviting environment and I think that clearly adds to that," Jean de St. Aubin, executive director of the Gene Siskel Film Center.

Mark Dice on Adam "Schiff for Brains," We Have a Winner!

US Rep Matt Gaetz (F-FL) just reintroduced--word for word--a 2013 bill making the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) judges more transparent. The original bill's sponsor as Adam "Schiff for Brains" Schiff (D-CA), the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee and an gadfly critic of President Donald J. Trump.

Gaatz, Mark Dice explains here, asked Schiff to cosponsor the old Schiff bill. But Schiff, a partisan hack, won't.
