I hear the Bloomington City Council is debating how to get rid of the UN flag and still save face. They would look like idiots if it is mentioned at a public meeting since to date citizens have been completely ignored. The City Manager wants it gone – is somebody just going to run off […]
Over the weekend, Facebook took down a message by the Special Operations Speaks PAC (SOS) which highlighted the fact that Obama denied backup to the forces being overrun in Benghazi. The message was contained in a meme which demonstrated how Obama had relied on the SEALS when he was ready to let them get […]
Verified with Snopes. Letter from: David Green is the CEO and founder of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. When my family and I started our company 40 years ago, we were working out of a garage on a $600 bank loan, assembling miniature picture frames. Our first retail store wasn’t much bigger than most people’s living rooms, but we had […]
Beware – it has raw language. Michael Moore helped make this short video. Many people have been convinced that showing an ID to vote is an attempt to suppress the vote. They are right. We no longer want the dead, illegal, and in-eligible voting!
by Diane Benjamin It should be no surprise that Sunday the Pantagraph printed an “unbiased” editorial from Kathy Michael on eliminating the Recorder position. Today they issued their opinion that supports hers, if you read between her lines. The truth is – both offices should be appointed. Voters are not capable of knowing the position […]
After his meteoric ascent to the top of the American political arena in the country’s history, we are now in the midst of witnessing one of the most stunning collapses of any man ever to hold the office of President of the United States. Over the past few weeks we have begun to see the […]
Four years ago, our media overlords assured us that President Empty Chair was really Candidate Empty Pew — a parishioner who sat for 20 years in Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s nutty, hate-mongering church and never heard a single word. “God bless America? No, no, no! God d*mn America!” thundered Reverend Wright, and just in case you missed the delicate […]
4 dead Americans in Benghazi. The video feed was watched LIVE at the White House, Pentagon, and State Department. Pleas for help were sent, but none came. CIA was 1 mile away- was told to stand down. Previous attacks caused the British and Red Cross to evacuate, but security was taken away from Americans instead […]
A Harley Biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the […]
By JOHN KINDT “If you don’t trust Springfield, vote NO on the November ballot’s Constitutional Amendment,” some legislative candidates advise. “If you trust Springfield, vote YES” to concentrate more budgetary power in Springfield. Voters will not even know what they are voting for or against, because the proposed amendment is not printed on the ballot. […]
October 26, 2012 – (Rockton, Illinois) – Early voters are flocking to county clerk’s offices across the state, but, sadly, most will be surprised when the first thing they encounter on their ballot is Illinois Constitution Amendment 49. The amendment purports to protect taxpayers from rash simple majority votes on state employee pension benefits by […]
by Ulsterman on October 25, 2012 with 66 Comments in News ORIGINAL POST: http://tinyurl.com/9ch7fk5 Got this feedback earlier today and thought you’d like to hear it. You know, I’ve gone from just trying to defeat Obama to really trying to help Governor Romney be this country’s next president. I’m really starting to believe there might be something very special about this man. This took place […]
1) Only in America, could a certain politician talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000.00 a plate campaign fund-raising event. 2) Only in America, could people claim that the government still discriminates against black Americans when they have a black President, a black Attorney General, and an 18% black federal workforce, but […]
The Stand Up America US Research and Analysis team has learned from a senior and sensitive intelligence community source and official that President Obama did not know of the raid in Abbottabad to kill Osama Bin Laden on May 1st, 2011 until after the helicopters with SEAL TEAM 6 had crossed into Pakistani airspace. America’s most […]
by Diane Benjamin The McLean County Regional Planning Commission has been very busy planning how to spend YOUR money. The complete Long Range Plan is available at: http://www.mcplan.org/egov/documents/1350666761_64351.pdf Keep in mind, these people are un-elected.

Why? The media company wants out of the newspaper business. And it’s a growing […]
Dear We’re 13 days away. That’s it. 13 days to take back the 13th District. 13 days to show Rodney that we’re not intimidated by his millions in lies and distortions. 13 days to prove our commitment to Medicare, Social Security, and the middle class. A new poll has me winning by 9% and today we surpassed […]
Since the Main Stream Media won’t tell you the truth:
http://www.scribd.com/doc/110874123/United-Nations-Election-Observer-Deployment-2012 According to this website, United Nations observers will be in Springfield on election day to confirm fair voting is taking place. Still think we aren’t turning into a third world county? The question really is: Is the United Nations here to insure fraud free voting or to insure the re-election of Obama? Maybe our people should be […]
by Diane Benjamin Didn’t think so. The site doesn’t say how many people participated or if they were blocked from voting more than once. The problem is they are using their poll results to formulate policy! Below are 3 of the questions asked. You are blocked from voting more than once. I will compare the […]
Update: I’ve now learned the replacement flag was purchased by a citizen, not the City. by Diane Benjamin Numerous citizens have asked the Bloomington City Council to remove the UN Flag from the Council Chambers. They have refused to openly discuss the issue, but privately they email each other. Here’s how they feel about the […]
By JOE SCARBOROUGH | 10/21/12 12:57 PM EDT http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1012/82677.html That’s a leading question that I have been asked repeatedly from media pundits and Democratic politicians over the past three years. Over that time, Democratic politicians and media pundits have almost universally accused the Tea Party of bringing ruin to the Grand Old Party. According to this skewed […]
Update: This was about a 6 minute meeting. They approved the long range plan for 2040 and the 5 year plan. No discussion. Evidently a public meeting was held last Friday. Did you know about it? Have you even heard of the Regional Planning Commission? —————————————————— The McLean County Regional Planning Commission is comprised of […]
When buzzing in my ear is too great to ignore – I must report! Heard on the campaign trail: young couple 2 small kids run down house in a nice neighborhood “Will your guy get us vision and dental coverage? I can’t believe the state doesn’t provide that for adults!” November 6 – they are going […]
by Frank Polacek (veteran, small business owner) My message has been that before an enemy can be confronted and defeated, he must first be exposed and identified. The well organized and well funded liberal domestic enemy within, stealthily oozing from their Trojan Horse like insects from a hive, communicate with each other in secret ambiguous code words, […]
by Diane Benjamin Adam Kinzinger had to decide what district to run in after Democratic redistricting. He should have been paired against Jesse Jackson Jr, but he took the easy route and challenged a fellow Republican in the March primary. EVERY conservative group in the state supported Don Manzullo because of Kinzinger’s less than conservative voting record. […]
SPRINGFIELD – On a press conference call that just ended, 13th CD Democrat candidate Dr. David Gill and his staffer “Lucie” responded to IL GOP accusations of coordinating with the DCCC by reading a prepared statement for reporters concerning a fund Gill insists is funded by grassroots donations rather than the corporate donations. “The money being spent is from […]
Why is the left trying to raise money to fight it? Diane, With just 18 days to go, our grassroots volunteer-to-voter contact machine to defeat the Tea Party Ten and Michele Bachmann is in full throttle. So, unfortunately, are major SuperPACs who are dumping unprecedented sums into these races at the last minute. Our goal […]
As reported in a previous post (http://blnnews.com/2012/08/17/jeers-to-the-pantagraph/), the Pantagraph praised the appointment of a female debate moderator – Candy Crowley. Are they now going to apologize for her biased despicable performance? Keep leaning far left Pantagraph! Your credibility is, as usual, lacking. How bad was Crowley? http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2012/10/crowleygate-scandal-grows-bigger.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+typepad%2FbYHz+%28Illinois+Review%29
CHAMPAIGN, IL (October 18, 2012) – Yesterday, Senate Candidate John Bambenek joined a dozen other citizens in filing a lawsuit challenging the validity of the state constitutional amendment on the ballot commonly known as Amendment 49 (HJRCA49). The Amendment purports to require a 3/5ths vote for any pension benefit increase. The grounds for the suit […]
Vote No Flyer9 18 12 Everybody thinks Amendment 49 is a BAD idea!
Jan Schakowsky describes HERSELF as a socialist. Since schools no longer teach what socialism is – here the brief: destruction of capitalism, government control of the economy, jail or worse for objectors. No socialist country has EVER been successful at pulling people out of poverty. Still thinking of voting for Dr. Gill? U.S. Rep. JAN SCHAKOWSKY, D-Evanston, […]
If you think Nancy Pelosi should be back in charge of the House and Barack Obama should remain President, then vote for Gill. His presentation tonight is in lock step with BIG government. government run healthcare was somehow tied to virtually every subject taxing millionaires and billionaires – Fair Share – cornerstone of campaign. Of […]
In last night’s debate we saw President Obama draw a stark contrast between himself and Mitt Romney. Tonight marks the first of 3 debates with my opponent, Rodney Davis, and I plan to do the same. I look forward to having the chance to speak to Rodney face-to-face about the issues affecting this district. It […]
by Diane Benjamin Conveniently, now that the Feds own an empty prison, Sen. Barbara Boxer is lamenting the lack of space in current Federal prisons to house the Gitmo detainees. Even though there is currently a law against bringing the prisoners here, a second Obama administration will surely turn Illinois into Gitmo north.
