Krystle proudly declares she is a progressive. She knows most people think that means she wants to make life better for you.
It doesn’t. It means redistributing taxes to who she deems are worthy. If that means everyone else needs to pay more, she doesn’t care because the collective good is essential. Redistribution of your wealth is the goal. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t wealthy, if you have more money than some you have too much.
Tomorrow night the Township is starting a new program. Remember at the last meeting when the YWCA gave a presentation on childcare? https://blnnews.com/2026/08/22/normal-township-8-19-26-board-meeting-part-2-ywca/
Krystle’s board will be handing $5000 to them – new programs always start small hoping nobody notices. Over time it becomes essential spending that must be increased.
Agenda: https://normaltownship.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/September-Township-Meeting-3.pdf
.
Since everyone who takes their kids to the YWCA for childcare isn’t financially equal, the Y will decide who gets subsidized. Your tax dollars are being used to decide who wins and who loses.
The Township is going to discuss a new budget soon. How much will that $5000 grow? Stay tuned.
Not only will the budget increase, the agenda’s are MUCH longer than pre-Krystle. She has progress to make!
Its tough for us to make the argument that government shouldnt pick winners and losers when Trump is literally doing that. Last year, he spent 10 billion taxpayer dollars to purchase a 10% equity stake in Intel. As a conservative, I dont want the government buying part of any private company, especially to the tune of 10 billion dollars. Id prefer to let the free market play out. Same thing with the payouts to farmers, who were hurt because of his idiotic tariffs. Bad policy from Trump led to farmers being hurt, which led to Trump bailing them out with taxpayer dollars
If we want to oppose Krystle, then we have to be consistent in calling out ANY politicians who “pick winners and losers.” Or, just be honest that you’re fine with government meddling, just so long as they do it how you want.
Instead of MAGA, we need a MCCA movement, “Make Conservatives conservative again” movement. At this rate, we deserve the drubbing that we’re set to take in November.
Only one cares about this story. It isn’t Trump
FYI: the Republican Party was never and never will be conservative
Not with Trump at the helm, we wont be conservative. He’s meddling as much, or more, than any president this century. Heck, just this afternoon after flattering Mamdani, Trump said he would “finally feel comfortable” moving back to NYC with Mamdani as mayor. 🤢
Learn Trump speak. He says lots of things for a purpose. Hate the Greenland deal too?
I don’t have a problem with anything Trump has done. And there is the other choice. A party that is bs crazy. Give me your pitch for socialism
Trump says alot of things with no purpose or thinking. Thats the problem. In terms of Greenland, the jury is still out buy Im skeptical. If there isn’t an immediate Russian threat to Greenland, and we already have a base and extensive military access there, how much additional spending actually improves American security—and what would that money accomplish that our existing arrangements don’t? So, I’m not sold on dropping more taxpayer money to expand our military footprint and the necessary infrastructure it entails in Greenland, especially as the area is still under the purview of NATO, and any military expenditures there should be shared by all of NATO, not exclusively by the US, as this deal sets up.
Im also warry of trusting Trump with foreign policy, especially after his debacle in Iran and failure to calm down the Russia-Ukraine crisis. He just proposed spending 5 billion dollars of taxpayer dollars to rebuild oil infrastructure in Gulf States destroyed because of his pointless war that has accomplished nothing except higher gas prices in the US.
So yeah, his policies aren’t conservative, nor are they thoughtful, nor are they “America First.” I knew he was sinking our chances in November, but never did I think it would get so bad that the Kansas and Nebraska senate seats would come into play.
