By: Diane Benjamin Thank goodness the primary is over! Congrats to the winners. Before the next onslaught of campaign ads hit, cut the cable cord. Life is awesome without constant lies. The biggest loser is the ILGOP who failed to get Richard Irvin, Kyle Ham, and Rodney Davis elected, probably others elsewhere. Ken Griffin found […]

By: Diane Benjamin 1) The special meeting Normal called at 5:45 last night was a waste of time. The promised PASER report is still not done, supposedly it will be by the end of June.

Next look at the current sitting judges, two are past State’s Attorneys: Jason Chambers and Bill […]
By: Diane Benjamin If this story wasn’t enough to help you decide who should be eliminated in the primary: https://blnnews.com/2022/03/21/democrat-running-as-a-republican/ then, this will help. Guess who donated $5000 to McFarland? Trump hating, January 6th farce committee member, and soon to be former Congressman: https://www.illinoissunshine.org/committees/37064/ Check out the rest of the donations McFarland has received, at […]
