By: Diane Benjamin President Trump banned the teaching of Critical Race Theory in all Federal Departments because it’s Marxist ideology. It is meant to destroy social norms to create an undefined utopia. It rejects the Declaration of Independence, the teachings of Martin Luther King, and of course Christianity. It destroys without ever saying what it […]
by: Diane Benjamin In my opinion voting in September for an election in November is lamebrained, dim-witted, and unintelligent. There will be “October surprises”, the presidential debates don’t even start until next week. The ONLY reason to vote now is to pretend you investigated all the candidates and have determined which ones represent your values. […]
By: Diane Benjamin How Jenn describes herself on her Alderman Facebook page: How FIVE candidates running for the County Board describe themselves: Notice anything? All Jenn progressives The Democrat Party left you. Progressives want to run your life, they don’t think you are smart enough to run your own. Of course they think you are […]

By: Diane Benjamin If you haven’t figured out by now Democrats running Illinois has been a disaster. There isn’t enough of your money to satisfy their insatiable spending lunacy. Changing the Illinois Constitution so they can tax more proves that fact. Voting YES to tax the rich proves you are the problem. It is impossible […]

By: Diane Benjamin Maybe the local “environmentalists” missed the California brown outs. They are all in on 100% renewable, too bad it doesn’t provide enough power to keep people from having to unplug or get involuntarily unplugged. Below is one of the currently inoperable turbines east of town. All that black at the top is […]
See this link: https://wirepoints.org/heres-the-central-misleading-claim-constantly-made-about-the-fair-tax-proposal-quicktake/ Excerpts from the article: Don’t be deceived: The State of Illinois can not live within their means. The Progressive Tax Amendment is just the latest scheme to get more of your money. Instead of reforming un-affordable pensions, they want more of your money. Jobs will be lost and more people will […]
By: Diane Benjamin If you want a County Board full of Jenn Carrillo buddies – vote Democrat. Her socialist buddy who is running for Bloomington City Council (unless he chickens out) identified one for you. County Board meetings were already live streamed before COVID. Lawler and Laymon want to make sure the public won’t be […]
By: Diane Benjamin Connect Transit held a meeting on August 25th: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EbHKo7ekQqGztDU9fvqRgbALV64ZfNI0/view This is how their year ended on June 30, 2020. (PDF page 8) The actual loss was slightly below the 12,000,000 budgeted: See PDF page 15: The budgeted loss for this year is 12,825,000. Connect is well on the way to meeting that […]
These are just to give you and idea of how many people attended. counting was difficult because people were social distancing. Black Lives Matter only had a handful of people trying to disrupt the rally, we were too far away to hear them. h/t John Boch – Guns Save Life for these pics. h/t Sonny […]
There are more people who support the police than don’t. Those who do MUST show up at the rally tomorrow. Rep Darren Bailey will be speaking. Today he is at a rally in Charleston. The loony left is disrupting the event. Tomorrow they will be across the street, security will keep them out of the […]
Ask him why! I believe it is too late for the Democrat party to replace him now.
By: Diane Benjamin I’ve recently done two stories about the City of Leroy considering a mask ordinance. The Council voted it down. See this link: https://blnnews.com/2020/08/18/leroy-dont-trust-your-mayor/ A resident of Leroy received many documents by FOIA. I found this letter from the Police Chief Jason Williamson really good. All units of government considering torturing all their […]
By: Diane Benjamin If the massive debt and failure to listen to citizens isn’t bad enough, ISU students will remember Mayor Chris Koos thinks he’s a doctor with the right to spew edicts that must be obeyed. He doesn’t, but that doesn’t stop him or the compliant businesses owners terrified of this tyrant. Only the […]
Ask Governor Take-Out-My-Toliets-To-Avoid-Taxes Pritzker if the rich are going to hang around to pay higher taxes. EVERYONE will be paying higher taxes because Democrats need your money! Eventually retirement income will be taxed. Of course the local far left (socialists) are for taxing the rich, basic economics is way to complicated for them. Watch who […]
By: Diane Benjamin See all of the McLean County Justice Committee reports here: https://www.mcleancountyil.gov/Archive.aspx?AMID=70 More people in McLean County have died of suicide, drugs, and alcohol since March 2020 than have died of COVID. June 2020 1 suicide – 1 Drug overdose – 1 alcohol and 1 drug vehicle death May 2020 1 suicide – […]
By: Diane Benjamin We are headed for the worst election in the history of this country. Vote By Mail will be fraught with errors, outright fraud, and incompetence by election authorities. Irregularities will allow people who want reek havoc easily do it. China and Russia can’t possibly do more damage than Vote By Mail will. […]
By: Diane Benjamin If you listen to people like Dave Rubin who used to lean left until they discovered leaning right is far better, one thing is obvious to them: people on the right are nicer. I heard another story about a leftist lady who went to a Trump rally just to see why people […]
If this trial was continued because Butler is trying to arrange a plea bargain it will be a slap in the face to the taxpayers of Bloomington. You deserve to know what happened! With two former CIAM employees ready to testify against him Butler should be scared. A plea bargain isn’t justice. The citizens of […]
By: Diane Benjamin I’m not going to check the Facebook or websites of every Democrat running for election, but I checked a few. If you contribute to any of the below why is ActBlue getting the money? That’s the same organization contributions to Black Lives Matter go to. We do know those contributions don’t end […]
By: Diane Benjamin h/t a reader Social Justice Warrior Lawler is on the Jenn train! Unless you want your kids indoctrinated by teachers like this one, look into forming ‘pods”. Lot of resources are available – you can deprive Unit 5 of funding by NOT sending your kids to their camps. This guy obviously won’t […]
By: Diane Benjamin Jenn Carrillo isn’t the only one calling for the release of all prisoners from the McLean County jail, her merry band of Marxists all play the same game. I wonder if she WANTS you to be a crime victim! Look at any democrat run city talking about defunding the police and enacting […]
By: Diane Benjamin The County Board Justice Committee meets tomorrow. https://www.mcleancountyil.gov/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/6792 The agenda report is packed with information, below are just snippets. Here’s a stat that I can make sound really scary – watch the media, this is what they do. During the second quarter of 2020 (April-May-June) Juvenile cases of Abuse and Neglect were […]
By: Diane Benjamin Undo police scrutiny? Poor investigative techniques? Does the LWV want the police defunded to go along with their left wing bias? Obviously nobody at the LWV bothered to listen to the audio of the body cam: Short version: https://blnnews.com/2020/07/24/breaking-in-support-of-art-and-camille-taylor-2-0-the-un-redacted-truth/ Entire Interview: https://blnnews.com/2020/07/24/in-support-of-art-and-camille-taylor-3-0-the-entire-police-interview/ Thanks for proving you are democrats or worse LWV.

By: Diane Benjamin Last week the Kathy Michael, McLean County Clerk, and Tim Mitchell, Executive Director of the Bloomington Election Commission, issued a joint Press Release. Note: If you had voted to abolish BEC when you had the chance there wouldn’t be TWO now! (No, I’m not letting you forget) You will be getting a […]
By: Diane Benjamin Executive Orders used to at least be signed by Chris Koos. No longer! Now the Town of Normal is issuing edicts from on high as press releases. Your elected Council Trustees had NO input and were not asked to agree or disagree. This is the latest: https://www.normal.org/DocumentCenter/View/16779/Outdoor-Dining-Press-Release—extension-announced-through-November-1 Businesses affected by actions […]
By: Diane Benjamin Who are Progressive Voices of Central Il? From their Facebook page: If you don’t want to overthrow our Constitutional Republic and replace it with an authoritarian government – you are not welcome in this group. Still support Black Lives Matter? (VBNMW means Vote Blue No Matter What)
By: Diane Benjamin The latest from the McLean County Health Department: https://health.mcleancountyil.gov/708/CORONAVIRUS-COVID-19 Note what age group isn’t taking the virus seriously. What are the ages of the 4 hospitalized? Not reported. Also not reported is the total number of tests completed – it has to be many thousands. That makes the positive rate ridiculously low. […]
By: Diane Benjamin I compiled these numbers from the Coroner’s Report filed monthly with the McLean County Board Justice Committee. All of the below can be found in the meeting attachments here: https://www.mcleancountyil.gov/478/Justice-Committee I wanted to see what effect the COVID shutdown is having in McLean County. There isn’t enough information in the Coroner’s report […]
By: Diane Benjamin Even the democrats know Joe Biden is not inspiring anybody. When he does come out of his basement he speaks incoherently. He’s been in DC for 50 years and now claims he can fix all the countries problems that he has ignored for 5 decades, 8 years as vice-president. The party is […]
By: Diane Benjamin McLean County won’t go blue because people suddenly love democrats, this story is a lead in to a story I will be doing tomorrow. Stay tuned. If that happens, overnight we will be Chicago. Taxes will go up, bail will be abolished, and spending will dramatically accelerate. The nice County roads will […]

You can see pics of this adorable house here plus a lot more information: Tiny House Big Impact_Ticket Champion Orientation Buy tickets here: https://tinyhousebigimpact.com/terms This […]
By: Diane Benjamin The only reason units of government have been allowed to meet on-line instead of in person is because of Gov. Pritzker’s Executive orders: https://www2.illinois.gov/Pages/government/execorders/executive-orders.aspx#y2020 Everything on that page was ruled illegal last Thursday! Pritzker’s authority to act like a dictator expired 30 days after his first proclamation. He made NO attempt to […]
The Pilgrims sailed to an unknown land because they wanted religious freedom, not the state mandated version. The greatest army at the time – the British – weren’t defeated by a bunch of farmers without divine intervention. The Declaration of Indepence, written by Thomas Jefferson, originally contained a line outlawing slavery. The King of England […]
The Clay County judge ruled today that any orders issued by Pritzker past the 30 days given to him by law are invalid! There are now no limitations on ANYONE in the State of Illinois. You are open, open, open. This applies to schools too – Illinois can not require masks. This also voids any […]
By: Diane Benjamin On June 22 the Town of Normal held a special meeting just to approve submitting a grant request to the State of Illinois for funds to fix West College: http://normal.org/ArchiveCenter/ViewFile/Item/3668 This plan also included extending the trail, the cost estimate just for the trail wasn’t listed – just the total: If other […]
By: Diane Benjamin Pretending kids don’t need their Mom AND Dad raising them together explains many societal problems. A mom can’t teach a boy how to be a man. Girls need their dads to teach them how men are suppose to treat them. Without these role models as they mature it’s a miracle if paths […]
By: Diane Benjamin Hutsonville School District voted unanimously last night to hire Attorney Thomas DeVore for possible litigation. The Board opposes the “Joint Directives” issued by Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) and Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) that include wearing masks, temperature checks, and occupancy limits. The Edgar County Watchdogs have video of […]
By: Diane Benjamin When it was obvious a judge in Clay County was going to rule against Pritzker’s illegal orders in favor of State Rep Darren Bailey, Pritzker tried to get the case moved to Federal Court. That judge stalled for weeks but ruled yesterday to send it back to Clay County. A hearing date […]
