Four Things You Need to Know

By: Diane Benjamin

1)

Pritzker must have figured out he will never be president. Instead he is running for a third term.

Illinois should hold more No Kings events – against him. He thinks he is one. He and his party haven’t done enough damage yet.

2)

WGLT joined a lawsuit to stop the defunding of public media: https://www.wglt.org/local-news/2025-06-23/wglt-joins-other-npr-stations-in-court-filing-to-contest-public-media-defunding?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

RCFP is:  Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press

Are they using taxpayer money to file this suit? Where in the 1st Amendment does media have a right to be funded by taxpayers? Freedom of the Press doesn’t mean they are government agency receiving money. Didn’t Illinois pass a law funding local media?

Here’s a few reasons why taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to fund them, mostly because their “news” is propaganda: https://thefederalist.com/2025/05/02/here-are-12-reasons-why-npr-and-pbs-deserved-to-be-defunded/

The United States already has many propaganda news outlets. Try capitalism instead of entitlements. If public media can’t survive in the public arena without tax dollars, they don’t have a market who wants to hear them.

3)

Are you obstructing ICE Krystle? Spreading false information? Endangering the lives of law enforcement just doing their job? Remember that oath of office you took?

She has pictures on her Facebook page.

From Connect Transit’s Board packet: PDF page 29 https://connect-transit.com/file/3674/2025%2006%2024_Board%20Packet.pdf

Some routes might be changed. Yes, empty buses do exist – this is one:

How many years did this route exist using huge buses to transport 4-6 riders a day?

  1. 4. Saw the Electric Connect buses were in use….@ the CIRA simulated disaster activity last weekend. Saw on the news 1 or 2 were “smoking”

  2. Rapid response team?!!!!! Hahahahaha what are these people doing with their lives?!! What are they talking about?! What are they responding to and running investigations on???!!!! Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

  3. 3. Concerning our locally elected activist – Able. Her Facebook page reports on McLean County government activities but mostly (90%) it pushes her far left Socialist agenda. She is using her local political pulpit as a platform to spue national socialist extremism.

    Obviously, she would not treat local citizens fairly or equally on any given subject that comes before the board.

    On her subject about exposing the activities of ICE
    Approximately 64–83% of Americans support deporting undocumented immigrants with criminal records, with 83% specifically favoring deportation for those convicted of violent crimes (AP-NORC, January 2025). Support is near-universal among those already favoring deportation, with 97% prioritizing violent criminals (Pew, 2025). Grok

  4. As I understand it, Able is the Township Supervisor. I would FOIA every single expenditure she makes. Every single one. Was it authorized by law?

  5. Able–should be labeled Mis-abled. She is certainly something else. WHO does she think she is? She is a local politician. No power. No authority. ICE has to wear masks because of people like Able and her friends.

  6. Did anyone see who is running for mayor in NY City? He is a far left Socialist Muslim. We have a much similar Governor. My bet is he gets elected again because that’s what is wanted in Cook County. Will we be able to vote him out? My bet is we will be stuck with him again because those who vote for him have their head up you know where and they can’t see the light.

    1. We should uncover all of JB’s criminal activity and send him to prison like so many past Illinois governors.
