By: Diane Benjamin https://bit.ly/2Y6IMt2 Headline: Breakthrough Infections, Deaths Among COVID-19 Vaccinated Rose in Recent Months: CDC Click the link to read the story. Maybe that story is why IDPH was late posting the weekly numbers, for days the site showed “Page Not Found”: https://dph.illinois.gov/covid19/vaccine/vaccine-breakthrough.html The new numbers are now posted, the trend in Illinois is […]
By: Diane Benjamin Not much on Monday’s agenda: https://normal.org/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/4104 There will be an appointment to the Human Relations Commission, but it’s a secret. The people served by this appointee don’t get to know who it is until his Royal Highness Koos allows you to know. The expenses below are for Chemberly Cumming’s activist training camp. […]
By: Diane Benjamin 1) Local schools are teaching Critical Race Theory. They get around it by using the principles of CRT without calling it teaching Critical Race Theory. They might call it anti-racism, white supremacy, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, or White Privilege. Any program that uses race as a qualifier for generalization about a group […]
By: Diane Benjamin 6 members of Angels4Freedom spoke Wednesday night. Their comments were planned and must be watched in order. They want to work with the schools, but they will sue if common sense doesn’t return to education.
By: Diane Benjamin https://bit.ly/3nJaJjr Title: Vaccinated People Easily Transmit COVID-19 Delta Variant in Households: UK Study Excerpts: Unit 5 doesn’t care if parents have recovered from COVID and therefore don’t need a shot. They also don’t care about parents who don’t want an experimental injection that doesn’t prevent getting COVID. If you don’t have a […]
From WEEK TV: BLOOMINGTON (WEEK) — For one Bloomington High School student, his college decision was made easier with a huge college scholarship. Walker Burns is a senior, and on Thursday he was honored with a scholarship for $200,000. The Navy’s ROTC scholarship is only awarded to five students in the Midwest area, and Burns […]
By: Diane Benjamin I picked this comment from the Unit 5 School Board meeting last night because it proves problems in Unit 5 never get solved. The District still can not get kids to school on time. It was brilliant to fire employees who aren’t vaxed, including teachers, which now means they are short staffed. […]
By: Diane Benjamin https://blmaftermath.sharkwebtech.com/ The website and video below were sent to me by a black activist in Chicago. The video is a Must Watch! It blames White Supremists for funding the Global Network. More information is available on their website. From the website: In perhaps one of the greatest messaging coups of all time, […]
By: Diane Benjamin See this story from yesterday: https://blnnews.com/2021/10/27/high-school-history-books/ I had to speak to the District 87 School Board last night about the two history books mentioned in that story. They aren’t teaching actual history. 9th Grade Social Studies is a waste of time, it might also be where the 1619 Project is taught. Since […]
By: Diane Benjamin 1) Water is now being shut off in Bloomington for not paying the bills. Government created the problem by allowing tenants to not pay rent and bills with no consequences. Landlords and taxpayers bore the brunt of this socialist policy: Everything is free! It gets worse! Landlords were not notified their tenants […]
By: Diane Benjamin I FOIA’d the curriculum approved for one specific Social Studies teacher at BHS. I’ve got a lot of data to look at, but start with the textbook mentioned first in what I received: Modern World History: Patterns of Interaction (McDougal Littell) The excerpt below is from this website: https://archive.org/details/ERIC_ED485622/page/n13/mode/2up?q=Modern+World+History+Patterns+of+Interaction+McDougal+Littell You may have […]
By: Diane Benjamin Children Shouldn’t Get COVID-19 Vaccines, Harvard Professor Says Excerpt: Children are more likely to contract serious disease or die from the annual influenza, or the flu, than COVID-19, according to data and studies that Kulldorff has reviewed. Just 195 children under the age of 4 and 442 between 5 and 18 have […]
By: Diane Benjamin I can’t possibly follow everything going on in Bloomington-Normal, that’s why tips from readers are vital! I would have missed this story is a reader hadn’t sent it to me: https://www.wglt.org/local-news/2021-10-20/former-bloomington-arena-manager-looks-to-seal-records-related-to-fraud-case John Butler of CIAM wants his records sealed. Maybe the IRS is after him, maybe he just wants to make sure […]
By: Diane Benjamin Ask yourself: Why is government pushing a vaccine that doesn’t prevent COVID because it isn’t a vaccine? It’s experimental, the long term effects aren’t known. Survival rates are over 98% for those infected! Why do they want to shoot everyone with an un-proven therapy when proven therapies exist? My Body My Choice […]
By: Diane Benjamin Did you know Jenn Carrillo won her seat with overwhelming support? Many people at Public Comment last night claimed she did. They are trying to re-write history, their claims are WRONG. A measly 716 people bother to vote from Ward 6 in 2019. Carrillo received 379 votes, Schmidt got 337. For the […]
By: Diane Benjamin A few choice bills: https://www.cityblm.org/home/showpublisheddocument/27117/637703387304300000 I wonder why the Coliseum is still a separate audit! Still no reports from BCPA events, what are they hiding? I wonder why they paid a whole year instead of monthly? What was investigated? From the meeting agenda: http://bloomingtonil.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=1&ID=1137&Inline=True The only problem I have with the Ward […]
By: Diane Benjamin Comments by those who believe government talking points will not be approved. I expect lots of them, don’t waste your time with Fauci or other junk links. 3 doctors and one scientist held a Global Covid Summit Saturday in Bloomington. The event was free, the organizers weren’t there for a buck. Over […]
People know something is wrong with the medical profession. Some doctors and scientists are spreading the truth. Read carefully: UPDATE: as of 2pm ET on 10/22 over 12,700 doctors & scientists have signed the Rome Declaration. Please join us by reading and signing below. We the physicians of the world, united and loyal to the […]
By: Diane Benjamin I can prove it! In God We Trust is still on our money, if progressives have their way it won’t be much longer. This is pretty much the last place God is allowed in today’s society, but that isn’t what you need to see. Read the bottom of the back side. I […]
By: Diane Benjamin Start with what most people would agree with: Students should to be taught how to think, not what to think. That means the cultural and political views of teachers should never enter the classroom. If your kids know who their teacher voted for, where they stand on abortion, or what activism they […]
By: Diane Benjamin The explanation makes no sense, but we are talking government here. The good news is anyone you text already has the Area Code entered in your phone. I know this is already in effect for the 217 area code, it wreaked havoc because many people did not know it was going to […]
By: Diane Benjamin I reported on the Uptown TIF on 10/15/2021: https://blnnews.com/2021/10/15/uptown-tif-isnt-a-success/ Normal has 4 other Tax Increment Financing Districts. The theory of TIF’s is the increased value of redevelopment will repay the money borrowed or spent. The Town likes to declare success based on the private money invested in redevelopment. That amount is immaterial […]
If you know a student in Kat Mudd’s 1st grade class at Pepper Ridge, I need to talk to a parent! By: Diane Benjamin A tip I received claimed a 1st Grade Teacher in Unit 5 is telling her class they aren’t boys or girls. The “wokeness” goes farther so if this is true it […]
By: Diane Benjamin As long as the data is interesting I will continue to update this story. The Illinois Department of Public Health updates this information every Wednesday. They used to say they don’t track it, obviously they did. Last weeks story: https://blnnews.com/2021/10/14/the-data-idph-doesnt-want-you-to-see/ Last week cumulative hospitalizations and deaths in vaccinated people: Today: Breakthrough cases […]
By: Diane Benjamin Remember the Citizens Summit Normal held a few years ago and has ignored ever since? That Summit was supposed to be by invitation only, eventually the public was allowed to participate. The opinions of the uninvited were supposed to be ignored, the consultant that ran the event is no longer a Town […]
By: Diane Benjamin One more story from last Monday’s Normal Town Council meeting: If you missed the video of Chemberly Cummings’ stating Chris Koos can’t be questioned over appointments, watch it now: https://blnnews.com/2021/10/19/quick-hits-from-normal-last-night/ Cummings claims to have 8 Unit 5 students signed up for her “local government” class. The taxpayers of Normal are funding her […]
By: Diane Benjamin A picture was posted on Facebook from a book called Gender Queer. That picture is posted below, if you don’t want to see it don’t scroll down. I consider it pornography. A reader asked Unit 5 if they have this book. Below is the request and answer, the reader’s name and email […]
By: Diane Benjamin We still know very little about this expense: What we do know is Pam Reece can spend up to $25,000 without getting Council approval. Koos said Pam made this decision. The remediation was to a private residence, we don’t know the address. It was supposedly paid to fix a “code violation”, nobody […]
By: Diane Benjamin Below are a few notes from the Normal Town Council meeting. The bigger points will be in the second story today. The minutes from the last meeting where the activists were allowed to speak at the beginning of the meeting do not reflect Stan Nord made a motion to waive the rules. […]
By: Diane Benjamin This is usually the night I have to watch two Council meetings – Normal’s and Bloomington’s Committee of the Whole. Bloomington is not meeting tonight. Maybe Mboka doesn’t want the conga line of radicals wanting Jenn 2.0 appointed to her empty seat. Maybe they have nothing to discuss. Either way, I’m smiling.
By: Diane Benjamin The lady below is a teacher’s aide at District 87. She works with special ed kids who don’t understand why they aren’t allowed to breath at school. They are forced to wear masks all day even though there are NO STUDIES that say they work. She is obviously a very caring person […]
Dear George, You have been an invaluable asset to McLean County for MANY years. Your leadership has keep McLean County RED with common sense principles. But your health has been declining for a long time. Missing meetings is no longer an option the people of your district and the other Republicans deserve. George, you have […]
By: Diane Benjamin I wonder where at the County Board meeting anyone discussed taking the tablets away from the County inmates? Democrats told WGLT they did, of course it was printed without a fact check. https://www.wglt.org/local-news/2021-10-16/tussle-over-inmates-use-of-tablets-develops-at-mclean-county-jail I hope everyone is clear on this point: democrats favor inmates over taxpayers. They want TOU to pay for […]
By: Diane Benjamin h/t a reader with a REALLY good dash cam Note the color of the stop light! This should be enough evidence for a ticket! Does this help:
By: Diane Benjamin https://normal.org/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/4097 Why is the Children’s Discovery Museum installing cameras? Is crime rampant in the Museum? Just want to spy on patrons? Why is this expense charged to Innovation and Technology instead of the Museum? The Town is spying on social media. This program returns anything it finds based on key words the […]
By: Diane Benjamin The $1000 payments to vaccinated employees was tabled without discussion: https://blnnews.com/2021/10/14/local-republicans-prove-their-worth/ The County has their own democrat who refuses to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Hannah Beer: Every Democrat and three Republicans voted yesterday to table the jail contract for tablets. The inmates love them, today they don’t have them. The […]
