By: Diane Benjamin This note was circulating on social media yesterday: . If you child goes to Pride Club meetings at Normal West you need to know what medical professionals are talking to your kids and what they are being told. MOST kids with gender dysphoria outgrow it. “Gender Affirming” drugs sterilize your kids before […]
By: Diane Benjamin 1) The Connect Transit website shows a vacancy for Bloomington Trustee. https://connect-transit.com/board-of-trustees/meet-the-trustees The current mayor may try to stack that board like past mayors, but if you are interested in serving apply here: https://cityblm.seamlessdocs.com/f/MayoralAppointmentApplication There were two public comments at the April Connect Transit Board meeting.

By: Diane Benjamin I started driving again about a week and half ago. I’m no longer in house jail. The gas bubble the doctor put in my eye to hold it in place disappeared today. It had been shrinking steadily for weeks. The last time the bubble disappeared the fix only lasted for a week. […]
By: Diane Benjamin How many water projects are you paying for because these people aren’t paying? As of 3/27/2025 Bloomington had $1,723,690 in past due water bills. This information was received by FOIA. The top offenders are below – there are interesting names among them. See if you can find them. At least one person […]
By: Diane Benjamin I heard some of the speeches at yesterday’s downtown Bloomington protest. Representatives from the Central Illinois ACLU claimed “rights” are being violated and/or taken away. I’m not going to dissect everything said because facts don’t matter to those who attended. The protests were instigated by Soros and MoveOn.org. https://blnnews.com/2025/04/04/anti-american-protest-saturday/ Both organizations hate […]
Attend if you want to see who is opposed to eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse. This is OUR hard-earned money. The left must be profiting; otherwise, they wouldn’t oppose audits. Medicaid isn’t being taken away—funding is simply returning to pre-COVID levels since COVID no longer requires emergency funding. Your data isn’t being stolen. The protests […]
By: Diane Benjamin h/t a reader for calling this to my attention In 2015 Illinois passed a law (Senate Bill 100) that was supposed to end discriminatory student discipline policies. How is it working? See this report from 2024: https://ieanea.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Impact-of-Student-Discipline-Policy-Reform-on-Illinois-Educators-1-17-2024_Final.pdf Go to the bottom of page 5 to see what teachers think of this bill: […]
By: Diane Benjamin 1) I was notified by a reader the BNWRD owns the tent city property in Normal. That’s the Bloomington Normal Water Reclamation District. Illinois law prevents them from removing the campers. It doesn’t prevent them from demanding they CLEAN up their mess. 2) I was also notified that ISU is planning for […]
By: Diane Benjamin If you didn’t know, enrollment at ISU increased this year because many students received tuition breaks. ISU knows future enrollment will decrease because birth rates have declined, which means fewer kids will be available to fill seats. That doesn’t stop the faculty union from demanding more money. There’s an online video of […]
By: Diane Benjamin These pictures were sent to me by a reader. This tent city is on Center Street in Normal across from where Steak and Shake used to be: . Note: Sugar Creek is much higher after yesterday’s rains. The reader was not only concerned about the trash but also wondered where all the […]
By: Diane Benjamin Bloomington: https://results.enr.clarityelections.com/IL/Bloomington/123382/web.345435/#/summary Dan Brady received 2,411 more votes than Cody Hendricks and 4,830 more than the current mayor. Uncontested Ward 3 candidate, Sheila Montney, received more votes that the total who bothered to vote in Ward 1. That Ward is stuck with Jenna Kearns for 4 more years. She won by 227 […]
By: Diane Benjamin Democrats now completely run the Normal Township. Expect tax increases in your future. Krystle Able got 5,045 votes – Chris Koos was re-elected with only 3,914. Is this how a socialist and cohorts got elect? By handing out presents on the ISU campus – getting votes from students who don’t have to […]
By: Diane Benjamin Numbers can overwhelm people, so start with a few: Bloomington results: https://results.enr.clarityelections.com/IL/Bloomington/123382/web.345435/#/summary County results: https://countyclerk.mcleancountyil.gov/eresults/results-1.html Last November Voter Turnout in Bloomington was 72.19% https://results.enr.clarityelections.com/IL/Bloomington/122759/web.345435/#/summary County turnout was 79.67 https://mcleancountyil.gov/DocumentCenter/View/28200/2024-General-Election-Official-Summary The Sales Tax question was put on this ballot because the people behind it knew it has a better chance of passing when […]
Some of us still believe in Election Day, not the 40 day scam.
By Diane Benjamin Krystle Able wants to win with the ISU vote. Those voters don’t have to live under the radicals they elect. Normal needs to outvote them. Signs on public property: District 87 is texting voters, of course directing them to the sales tax website. Desperate for your money!
