In case you forgot, Andrew Franson calls himself a communist: https://blnnews.com/2026/02/03/the-isu-communist-responds/
I wish he would list the ISU professors filling his head with anarchy. Of course he won’t.
Are all these people he supports communists? Paul Nolley, Krystle Able, Joshua Crockett, Matt Coates (running for Normal Trustee) and others.
He also thinks erasing medical debt in Illinois is is wonderful thing instead of realizing that debt was merely transferred to everyone who didn’t incur it.
He actually thinks all the violence in France is students wanting more teachers:
That is not where he went next:
.
History is beyond him. Remember Rockefellers? Andrew Carnegie and Cornelius Vanderbilt? They contributed nothing to society? At least one of them did more with his wealth:
Carnegie, however, believed in the concept of the “Gospel of Wealth,” which held that the wealthy had a responsibility to use their riches for the betterment of society. This philosophy led him to invest in libraries, education, and other philanthropic endeavors, aiming to uplift communities and promote social progress. https://socialstudieshelp.com/american-history-topics/rockefeller-carnegie-shaping-the-gilded-age/
Wealth doesn’t mean oppressive. Character matters, not your bank account.
Elon Musk returned the 1st Amendment to us when he bought Twitter. Government was in bed with the former owner to squelch any speech the left didn’t want heard. Musk just announced he is giving 1 share of SpaceX to every child in America, probably through Trump accounts. He’s the evil rich?
More pics the reader sent to me:
Vaping:
Maybe he knows labor unions are involved in the violence in France: https://justthenews.com/world/europe/same-network-boosted-anti-israel-protests-us-center-french-unrest-riots?
I wonder if he knows a communist American living in China is funding the violence?
.
Andrew: A rich communist is using his money to overthrow the French government. He is also doing the same thing here. He is an actual detriment to freedom, but then he’s a communist just like you.
this is such a non issue. Don’t quit your day job
Vaping is very bad, glad you are bringing the scourge of vaping to the forefront.
Yes it’s just students protesting about their school situation that’s why all the looting of stores and burning of buildings is taking place. And to all you fine leftist out there who think immigrants are not playing a part think again.And our national news reports some looting taking place some my eye it’s wide spread but national news doesn’t want to make things worse than they are. I pointed out to a local professor about the Muslim takeover of Dearborn Michigan he was quick to point out that America is made up of immigrants, I chose not to talk any further but America is made up of immigrants they came to America to be American and assimilate most learned the English language and worked to assimilate.So my point being this is America you come here you assimilate learn our language or pack up and go back to the country you came from. And to you leftist feel good Americans wake or what’s happening in France will soon be happening here.
The rioters somehow know where the Jewish businesses are but skip those owned by Muslims
It’s so easy to tear something down. Give me a crowbar and a saw and I can tear down a house. But if I had to build a house in its place it wouldn’t be livable. It would be dangerous.
Same goes for the hate America political movement of Franson and his ilk. It’s currently fashionable and cool for young fools to jump on the burn down America bandwagon. (They only get away with it because too few rational people vote.)
When Franson is standing in the ashes he made, and someone asks him ‘now what’ he will be deer in the headlights clueless. Useful idiots are only useful for so long.
Wow! Really trying to distract yourself from the shellacking that Republicans are about to take. Can’t believe that Trump is so unpopular that Texas is in play! 😂 Have fun with all the losing!
Have fun crying
About what?!? Republicans are about to lose the house and likely the Senate. Trump has put your party in a tailspin. Im honestly loving every second of this implosion!
The polls are phony. Democrats aren’t running candidates who believe in America
Oh man, you’re in denial! That honestly will make it soooo much sweeter on election night to know you’ll genuinely be shocked! But hey, Im sure you know more than Republicans who have already given up on North Carolina and Georgia, and are dumping millions into Republican strongholds like Kansas and Nebraska. Can’t wait to see you try to explain away a Republican loss in Texas if that comes to pass, too!
@Enjoy
Is this your first time voting and watching polls?
Best not hyperventilate kiddo, you may end up screaming at the moon.
Why do Trump derangement syndrome people have to always look to wish the worst for America. America is at risk and it has nothing to do with Trump if anything some of what he has done is to make America safer do I agree with him on a lot of stuff hell no but with the idiots and sorry I think that they are idiots that are celebrating what could happen come November. Just pray that level headed true Americans are elected regardless of party or we will again see a mass influx of immigrants among them many bad and evil people. How sad!
The president and his party are responsible for the highest diesel prices EVER and inflation is absolutely out of control. Am I rooting for the party that has overseen such a terrible economy to have less power. You betcha! Thats rooting for America, not against it. It will be nice to finally have some accountability for the out of control corruption of this administration, too.
You ignore all the good. Why hasn’t a new refinery been built here since the 70’s?
Because the left won’t allow it, so who’s fault is it? Other than Ukraine disabling Russian refineries
Gas prices went up under Biden because of Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine. In your blog, you went after Biden for high gas prices despite the cause being out of his control. So, sorry, you trying to give Trump a pass because of the war is hypocritical. If anything, didnt Trump promise to end that war when he ran for president. Failed at that one. His tariffs have also fueled inflation as has his deeply unpopular war with Iran.
And, at the end of the Day, Republicans have controlled the White House, both houses of Congress, and the Supreme Court for the past two years and have failed to address the cost of living crisis. People are hurting just as much, if not more, than when he was elected.
And they’ll be paying for their inaction on election day. Because when you control all of the government and do nothing, thats on you! 🤷
cheers!
Biden wanted high gas prices because electric vehicles are dead without them.
Matekja has always been a Communist. He was hated by the membership but the union heads loved him because he was an attack dog when it came election time in order to promote the election of more Democrats who would give the union everything they wanted. The dude was a historian by training but opted to write about local labor history because no self respecting institution would hire him. He is a spawn of St. Louis based labor radicals but wouldn’t and didn’t have the trade skills or fortitude to construct anything of value. I’m sure his professors at ISU during his protest days were able to convince the union to hire him. Just one of endless examples of BN outsiders moving in and screwing up the area. No different than the Dobski’s on the other side of the ledger.
So please tell me what pritzker has done for Illinois? The highest gas taxes in America gas was 17 cents a gallon when pritzker came into office it’s now what 47 cents or higher and all you can focus on is the price of diesel. I am guessing that you don’t live in Illinois anymore to make a comment like you did.But oh well when all you can focus on is tds I guess no amount of Illinois and Bloomington normal taxation will faze you!!!!
The cost of diesel is more directly tied to inflation due to it being necessary for shipping pretty much everything we buy. So yeah, its important. In terms of the cost of gas in Illinois, yeah we have high gas taxes and its fine to be pissed about that. Its also true that the war with Iran caused a sharp increase in the cost of gas (greater than the 47 cent or whatever gas tax), so people can be pissed about that, too.
Literally everyone saw prices at the pump jump drastically when we invaded Iran. They havent come down. Thats on Trump. Enjoy the election! I know I will!
Who had 20+% inflation?
Well trump will be gone in a couple of years but the 12% tax that I have to pay here in town to eat a meal will be here forever and more than likely to continue increasing plus the 1% tax to buy my food to stay alive will be forever and more than likely to increase and the gas tax will continue to go beyond 50 cents a gallon add to that the poor habitat for humanity home owners that are being taxed to the point that they may not be able to continue to live in their home but hey you all can celebrate trumps losses in November.
Who are teaching young people Communism?
Cowards.
People afraid to stand up for what they know is right and condemn what they know is wrong because of conformity bias. The biggest problem with education today is cowardice.

People who don’t vote – People afraid to stand up for what they know is right and condemn what they know is wrong. Cowards.
