By: Diane Benjamin People who read the law, watched the case, and listened to Constitutional lawyers knew Kyle Rittenhouse would be acquitted. Those who listen to fake media believe the lies they were told. How can Kyle be a white nationalist/supremist when everyone involved was WHITE. This had nothing to do with race except in […]
By: Diane Benjamin If you forgot the demands of the local Black Lives Matter group, see them here: https://blnnews.com/2021/03/12/open-season-on-police/ Demands include de-funding the police 50% by 2023. Jeff Crabill took the opportunity last night to oppose the re-appointment of Surena Fish to the Public Safety and Community Review Board (PSCRB) because she dared to oppose […]
By: Diane Benjamin First, you need to review what the Local Black Lives Matter group wants: Who are they endorsing, supposedly because a survey they filled out? I wonder if Chris Koos watching Target get looted had anything to do with their decision? Cities that have cut funding to their police departments have seen astronomical […]

His Facebook page has numerous videos, in one he is asking for names of people who need bailed out so […]
By: Diane Benjamin Everything happening in the country right now has to do with ONE thing: Presidential Election Democrats have a candidate that doesn’t know where he is most of the time. They don’t want you to know who will be running the country – it won’t be Biden. Black Lives Matter is just an […]
By: Diane Benjamin Long time readers will know I’ve mentioned numerous times your local representatives have never been allowed to discuss the role of government. Discussions of what should be funded and what shouldn’t has never taken place. Budgets are done by staff with a little Council input on big projects. They have never discussed […]
By: Diane Benjamin Unless the Bloomington City Council hasn’t recently left their homes, there is no reason they can’t meet in public. Tomorrow marks Phase 4 – 50 people in a room. Besides, there are several who should be wearing masks in public because they disgrace the office of alderman. Donna Boelen is behind the […]
Ask Angela Fyans what she is hiding from her time with Sorling Northrop. She is now a City of Bloomington lawyer. The Bloomington police did an amazing job stopping your looters, unlike Normal. That doesn’t mean problems don’t exist in the department. You will find out soon, with or without what is still hidden. It […]
By: Diane Benjamin The City of Bloomington Council meeting will reconvene Wednesday at 7:30. Technical difficulties were experienced with the Live Stream. Instead of having the meeting anyway and posting video today, the meeting was rescheduled. That was a good thing because it allowed Jenn Carrillo and Jeff Crabill to comment on a Live event […]
By: Diane Benjamin This confirms Black Lives Matter protesters were the ones looting and creating mayhem locally. Nobody was in jail for “protesting”. From Facebook: In the last few days this group in coordination with local Black Lives Matter bailed out 13 defendants. Total bond was $87,705. 10 bonded out are facing charges of looting, […]
By: Diane Benjamin It’s obvious the Democrat Party only cares about blacks when they want their vote. Obama was president with his sidekick Biden for 8 years. They didn’t do prison reform or even talk about police reforms. Neither did anything about the black unemployment rate or the black on black violence in Chicago. Add […]
There are two Black Lives Matter groups in town – BloNo and Bloomington-Normal. I asked Kimberly Veal why, this was her response: You are correct! There are two local Black Lives Matter groups. We plan to hold a townhall as well as a LIVE podcast to address these questions. We’re preparing a statement that will […]
By: Diane Benjamin For Mother’s Day Black Lives Mater bailed out a mom already out on bond for retail theft in Springfield. She was arrested for the same thing here and for having her baby with her when she did it. Keep in mind, everything you buy is more expensive to cover the losses from […]
By: Diane Benjamin Scott Laughlin clarified this morning on WJBC why the local media is useless. The host hates people who think government should do nothing. Scottie doesn’t realize “those” people don’t want government doing nothing, they want them doing only the things the population can’t do themselves. Like fix the roads! How are the Bloomington […]
By: Diane Benjamin Tuesday night Uptown Galleries knew protestors were gathering outside. I didn’t count the group but at least 20 people lined both sides of the doors as people left. I saw NO police. Previous debates did have officers present. Why would the Town of Normal allow this group to gather outside the debate […]
By: Diane Benjamin For months Tari Renner supporters have attacked Kevin Lower and me with vile tweets and posts on Facebook. They claim they aren’t doing anything in support of Tari Renner. This comment left on my site proves they are lying: I doubt the media will report the facts, but how depraved do Tari […]
