Note to readers: I love the Heartland Institute because they actually use science and history instead of throwing random bombs to steal your money by blaming “Climate Change” for everything. I suggest you follow their research. Of course the “other side” despises them. Press Release: ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL (June 8, 2023) – As a result of […]
By: Diane Benjamin The entire meeting was a little over an hour. I suggest citizens who plan to vote watch a few meetings instead of believing campaign literature. Of course no one showed up to speak at the Public Hearing on the budget. Many of the Trustees congratulated themselves on its greatness however. Spending on […]
By: Diane Benjamin h/t a reader I updated this story from yesterday, a CO2 pipeline in Mississippi did break, a small town had to be evacuated. Capturing CO2 with no place to store it is STUPID. https://blnnews.com/2022/10/13/ever-heard-of-co2-pipelines/ Below is what happens when Climate Change clowns close coal fired power plants with no way to replace […]
By: Diane Benjamin If you have been dying to hear Kathleen Lorenz talk about raising her kids, just hit play below. She droned on for 10 minutes about her fears of letting them ride bicycles all the way through her fears of letting them drive. Lorenz wanted the residents worried about their property values and […]
By: Diane Benjamin I hope you aren’t excited by the “plummeting” cost of gas – that is how one local media described the price trend. Plummeting would be back to $3.00 or less as it was before WAR was declared on fossil fuels. Unaffordable everything is a direct result of that war, the poor and […]
By: Diane Benjamin 1) Remember the lady in Normal with YELLOW water? https://blnnews.com/2022/05/17/normals-yellow-water/ Yesterday it was a beautiful shade of green: 2) Now we know why Jamie Mathy stepped down from his Ward 1 seat, he wants tax breaks to redevelop a building downtown. The building has been empty for a long time, so as […]
By: Diane Benjamin Electricity and gas bills are going to increase because of the War on Fossil Fuels called Climate Change. The war is really to prove capitalism doesn’t work, the far left hates the voluntary exchange of goods and services. Big government wants to control your life, not let you decide how to live […]
By: Diane Benjamin https://www.cityblm.org/government/city-council/municipal-electric-aggregation I’m only posting this section of the Bloomington website because it will soon disappear. It shows the electricity rate residents are paying now if they didn’t opt out of municipal aggregation: Remember .0433 (4.33 cents) Since this agreement expires in June the City negotiated a new 3 year contract: https://www.cityblm.org/Home/Components/News/News/8945/18 The […]
By: Diane Benjamin Local election are early next year. Those who think you should pay for the below need replaced: The slide below was shown during presentation at Bloomington Council on Regeneration/Preservation of older neighborhoods. It was part of the staff presentation: Since Hawthorne Hills doesn’t need Regeneration/Preservation, what area of the City are they […]
By: Diane Benjamin PDF page 114: http://bloomingtonil.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=1&ID=1159&Inline=True Are you ready for electricity rates to double? How are your natural gas bills going? Government interference in the markets because of PRETEND Climate Change has only 1 goal: bankrupt you: When nuclear power plants can’t be built which would produce cheaper electricity than solar panels and wind […]
WGLT is reporting Rivian won’t raise the price for existing customers because of the back lash. Losing money on every vehicle sold is better? The Rivian stock price is still down today https://www.wglt.org/2022-03-03/after-backlash-and-canceled-orders-rivian-backtracks-and-wont-raise-prices-for-existing-customers?fbclid=IwAR3ewocgV5DUP_o9H624_U-dCPM3eO6IphJdXTUU8qkXd2DWWUV1DaAEs2w By: Diane Benjamin This story is more about interesting things you should know than anything else.

By: Diane Benjamin Rivian raised the price of their midsize electric pickup by 20%, $94,000+. People are canceling orders. https://www.reuters.com/technology/rivian-hikes-vehicle-prices-by-20-citing-inflationary-pressure-2022-03-02/ I wonder if the Town of Normal will cancel their order? TWO candidates aren’t running in the District they live in: Scott Preston (91st) and Kyle Ham (105th). They are searching for the voters they […]
https://www.yellowbullet.com/threads/the-embedded-costs-of-going-green.2672148/ Excerpts: What is a battery?’ I think Nicholas Tesla said it best when he called it an Energy Storage System. That’s an important distinction. They do not make electricity – they store electricity produced elsewhere, primarily by coal, uranium, natural gas-powered plants, or diesel-fueled generators. So, to say an EV is a zero-emission vehicle […]
By: Diane Benjamin The meeting, including Township before Council, was over 3 hours. Your representatives look ridiculous behind masks. Normal doesn’t wear them at Council meetings, citizens deserve to see your faces! Of course the camera operator makes seeing faces difficult since it always isn’t in the right location. It was much more fun seeing […]
By: Diane Benjamin How about when a local devoted socialist is asked to write about it? Yes the socialists want to ban meat to save the planet. If you see Krystle or friends out eating meat, snap a pic. Here’s more proof Climate Change is a hoax from the Heartland Institute: (heartland.org) From a Press […]
By: Diane Benjamin Alderman Mollie Ward wants the City of Bloomington to stop Climate Change! She made this statement Monday night right after Tim Gleason claimed most insurance claims with the City because of the June storm will be denied. Mollie must have missed the Public Comments from Eastgate residents stating they have been dealing […]

Below are the results of a poll conducted by Rasmussen and the Heartland Institute. Don’t bother commenting if you are indoctrinated, you need better media. Haters will claim the Heartland Institute is bias, they can’t say that about Rasmussen.

Comments from the indoctrinated will be deleted.
By: Diane Benjamin A LONG comment was left to today’s Earth Day story that I didn’t post. Below is just the first lines and proof this person doesn’t care about facts, I left their typo: China is at the forefront of mitigating global warming. Apparently America’s exceptionalism means we blame other countries fro our lack […]

See Accuweather: https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/bloomington/61701/january-weather/328753?year=2020 Climate has nothing to do with the weather.

By: Diane Benjamin Five days a week I get a newsletter form ICMA – International City/County Management Association. The email is links to stories, sometimes around the world, detailing actions taken in various places. Both local City Managers attend their conferences, we never hear reports on what they learned. This story is in today’s edition: The […]

Ward 6 Alderman Jenn Carrillo wants to turn America into Venezuela. Think she doesn’t want to do the same thing to Bloomington? How much time does she even spend in Bloomington? Facebook:
By: Diane Benjamin Hey, it’s Friday. Time to have some fun. Emails received by FOIA. Remember when the US Conference of Mayors was held in Hawaii? The same people lecturing and taxing to save the environment flew across an ocean to attend. Mayor Koos attended the Climate Summit held right before it. Obviously Climate Change […]
By: Diane Benjamin Normal Mayor Chris Koos posted this on Facebook: http://honolulu2019.com/climate/ Tari must not have been invited. He is going to the US Conference of Mayors that starts to tomorrow in Honolulu: https://blnnews.com/2019/04/18/off-to-hawaii/ One would think true believers, like Koos, who think we are destroying the world with carbon emissions would: Not fly to […]
By: Diane Benjamin Know what that dark spot is? Long time readers will: OIL. This turbine is east of the Leroy-Lexington blacktop just south of Route 9. Usually they keep the ones along busy roads clean, the ones with less traffic going by are worse. Even Green technology needs oil. I wonder if AOC knows? […]
By: Diane Benjamin The latest case for limited government: Bloomington talked residents into electric aggregation in 2013. It was meant to save people money by contracting for lower electricity rates by buying in bulk. According to the City website the contract negotiated for you expired almost a year ago: Source: http://www.cityblm.org/government/city-council/municipal-electric-aggregation If you click on the […]
By: Diane Benjamin People who believe in man-made climate change love to proclaim the weather is worse now. NOAA disagrees, and this chart only goes back to 1954. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/climate-information/extreme-events/us-tornado-climatology/trends Want to know the history before 1954? Pekin Il was destroyed in March of 1938. The source is Wikipedia, not a source I usually trust, so […]
By: Diane Benjamin Original story: https://blnnews.com/2019/05/09/driving-must-end/ The McLean County Regional Planning Commission held a contest with prizes for people choosing to use some transportation method other than cars. Keep in mind, MCRPC is funded by government. In the real world that would disqualify people associated with where funding comes from. The MCRPC’s job is to […]
By: Diane Benjamin Guess where this statement is: Even with insurance, gas, oil changes, and new tires every 2-3 years – anybody spend $8000 on maintenance a year? “AAA” looks like a link, it doesn’t work. This statement is on a website called GoodToGoMclean.org It should be obvious who sponsors it, the guys with priorities […]
Al Gore is in the movie! His activism on climate change made him filthy rich. That says it all. Funny how he didn’t make the preview. From another reader who walked out after an hour – the theme was capitalism doesn’t work. No surprise there! Another reader claimed an IWU professor required a class to […]
By: Diane Benjamin Even if you believe in man-made climate change, the facts presented in the story below should make it clear Illinois is not using any logic in their goal of all renewable energy by 2050: https://www.bnd.com/news/politics-government/article227067919.html All they will accomplish is making electricity un-affordable. Full disclosure: I believe this is a hoax to […]
By: Diane Benjamin Illinois People’s action was at the Sugar Creek Art Festival spreading socialism, note they target the young who don’t know that socialism kills: One item on the sign is 100% renewable energy. Evidently they don’t know the wind doesn’t always blow and the sun doesn’t always shine. Creating batteries to store energy […]
