Illinois Budget: Funding illegal immigration

By: Diane Benjamin Illinois Budget: https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/103/SB/PDF/10300SB0251eng.pdf How many of your tax dollars are going to illegal immigrants? That is ONE BILLION allocated to replacing the citizens that have left this state with unvetted illegals. This is listed elsewhere, funny how the amounts don’t match the above: Maybe passing a bill in the middle of the […]

Stepping Stones and the County Board

By: Diane Benjamin The YWCA is obviously a leftist organization. Proof is their national website: https://www.ywca.org/who-we-are It’s easy to tell when leftists need other people’s money, a conga line of speakers show up to provide “their” facts. In the case of Stepping Stones it was 6. The Stepping Stones program lost federal grant money but […]

Voting? At least be informed first

By: Diane Benjamin Sample ballots area available for everywhere but Bloomington here: https://mcleancountyil.gov/1600/Ballots I don’t know why Democrats would show up since I didn’t see a single contested election except President and that vote is immaterial. Will Dems vote Republican to take out candidates they hate? I wouldn’t be surprised. Republicans at least have a few contested races:  County […]

The Immigration Project you don’t know

By: Diane Benjamin This group probably doesn’t want you to know their non-profit tax returns are posted on line: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/431700482/202311359349302656/full If you haven’t been paying attention, the Immigration Project always pops up to support illegal immigrants with bleeding heart leftist rhetoric meant to subdue citizen resistance to invasion.

A must read story

Sent to me from a friend: I was in a local store yesterday and purchased a picture with Reagan’s famous quote about freedom on it. The clerk, an older woman, read it intently and said in a thick accent, ‘Freedom is gone. We came here 50 years ago to escape a Premier in South America, […]

Do Krystle Able, Corey Beirne, and Mike Matejka lock their doors?

By: Diane Benjamin Evidently they have open door policies in their homes because they don’t want to protect McLean County from Biden’s invasion of the country – estimated now at 8 million people who walked across the border. These people know nothing about local and national laws, many expect to be taken care of by taxpayers. See Chicago […]
