One the candidates for Bloomington Police: Google him UPDATE

Bloomington Taxpayers:  You paid for this guy to come to Bloomington for the interviews. You paid for City staff to spend the day with all the candidates and you paid for lavish food for their public display. I hear that questions for the candidates were not spontaneous.  The local police were handed questions they were […]

Fly on the Wall: Normal

I hear Normal wants a new library.  Just who allowed all the buildings around the current one, thus not allowing any room for expansion?  People think walking 1/2 block from a parking garage (as reported by the Pantagraph) is too far?   Wonder how all the other businesses in Uptown are managing.  Maybe they aren’t […]

The Great Obama Depression

WASHINGTON, August 3, 2013 — A White House spokesman called July’s 7.4 percent unemployment rate proof that “the U.S. economy is continuing to recover from the worst downturn since the Great Depression.” He said it with a straight face. The data tell another story: America remains mired in the Great Obama Depression. The unemployment rate that the administration […]

Fly on the Wall: Chicago Police in Bloomington

In the infinite wisdom of Bloomington government, 2 (TWO!) members of the Chicago Police are being considered for Bloomington Police Chief. Downstaters have long yearned to divide the state in 2 to rid Illinois of Chicago.  Actually, they can even keep the name.  But the local geniuses wants to import their corruption and progressive ways […]

Obamanomics is Betraying the Middle Class

Floyd Brown, Chief Political Analyst http://www.capitolhilldaily.com/2013/08/obamanomics-kills-middle-class/#more With Barack Obama barnstorming the country like it’s October in a presidential election year, I thought we should take a closer look at his latest statements (read: fantasies). The more I hear Obama talk, the more nauseated I become – he’s either the dumbest person ever elevated to the White […]

Bloomington tax increases headed your way!

The #IL GOP usurped the Constitution: Edgar, Dillard

In 2008 Republicans joined Democrats to void the electoral college in Illinois.  Kirk Dillard was front and center in the destruction.  Jim Edgar thinks he knows what the Founding Fathers meant, so he supported re-writing the Constitution. Illinois electoral college votes will now go to whatever candidate wins the popular nationwide vote.  A Republican could […]

If the 2009 Town Halls were bad for Democrats, just wait

by Diane Benjamin The GOP has one last chance to keep their base.  Conservatives have had enough of collusion and capitulation with Democrats.  We’ve had enough of John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Mitch McConnell, and John McCain.
