By: Diane Benjamin This is a must watch video, it shows what representatives you get when everybody else is too busy to run for office: Jeff wants people who never had slaves to compensate people who never were slaves. His attitude towards blacks makes it sound like they aren’t capable of succeeding because of continuing […]
By: Diane Benjamin https://blmaftermath.sharkwebtech.com/ The website and video below were sent to me by a black activist in Chicago. The video is a Must Watch! It blames White Supremists for funding the Global Network. More information is available on their website. From the website: In perhaps one of the greatest messaging coups of all time, […]
By: Diane Benjamin The $1000 payments to vaccinated employees was tabled without discussion: https://blnnews.com/2021/10/14/local-republicans-prove-their-worth/ The County has their own democrat who refuses to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Hannah Beer: Every Democrat and three Republicans voted yesterday to table the jail contract for tablets. The inmates love them, today they don’t have them. The […]
By: Diane Benjamin I suggest any readers click this link to watch the meeting now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC8s6_w_7Tk One speaker broke the rules. He told the Town he wanted to talk about chemical purchases and then went on a rant about Jelani Day’s memorial picture being taken down. This is what the Council is looking at right […]
By: Diane Benjamin I am redacting the name of the school district, FOIA’s are not done being filed. I can tell you this isn’t a big district. You will find out what those “2700 emails” in 6 months say. Parents should FOIA their school district.
By: Diane Benjamin If the Normal Town Council can marginalize Stan Nord, the Bloomington City Council can marginalize Jenn Carrillo. Every one of her candidates lost Bloomington said loud and clear to socialists: Not In Our Town Carrillo only won her seat by 42 votes. The City saw her antics for 2 years. It has […]
By: Diane Benjamin Consider: Alderman Jenn Carrillo wanted a “discussion” on defunding the police at the last Council meeting while presenting no evidence other than it’s trendy. Carrillo obviously hasn’t seen the crime statistics in cities that have taken money from the police. You can see here: https://washingtonwatch.org/democrat-run-cities-that-voted-to-defund-the-police-now-face-soaring-violent-crime-rates/ Other far left groups in Bloomington are […]
By: Diane Benjamin Two days ago the City of Bloomington sent an email to select people and groups: Evidently this email was not sent Blind Carbon Copy because the Local Black Lives Matter Council responded to ALL. I will be more respectful of email addresses, the ones not redacted are public information: Those with a […]
By: Diane Benjamin h/t a reader Below is what the parking lot at Green Top Grocery looked like around 2:00pm Sunday: The reader told me 8 staff vehicles were parked at the back of the lot. Maybe Green Top customers are too afraid to shop there now, One misstep, say the wrong words, and you […]
By: Diane Benjamin See this article from The Blaze: https://www.theblaze.com/news/college-football-coach-blm-sign?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook Excerpts: Read the rest of the story for more sad details you probably don’t know. ISU now has national coverage from multiple news outlets. Every local news service reported he quit. He didn’t.
By: Diane Benjamin Why would any business decide to locate in Bloomington when a member of the City Council retweeted this: Black Lives Matter lost all credibility when they bailed looters out of jail. People of all political persuasions know theft and destruction of other people’s property is wrong. Looks like Jenn thinks it’s fine. […]
By: Diane Benjamin H/t a reader This is the same Larry Lyons who somehow got his son hired in the athletics department and then said son married a fellow employee – making three all related people working in the small ISU athletics department. No nepotism of course – even when the wedding took place on […]
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 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 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 The Facebook discussion between 2 local BLM activists and two members of the local democrat party is worth your time. See it on the McLean county Democrats Facebook page. Ky Ajayi of BLM made one comparison I find silly, but he was dead serious. He compared abolitionists to the people who today […]
By: Diane Benjamin The local elections next year could give the radicals complete control of Bloomington. Right now they have 2 out of 9 seats, 5 and the mayor up for election next April. The radicals will be running candidates, all they need is 3 more seats to turn the Bloomington into their Marxist utopia. […]
By: Diane Benjamin Instead of condemning looters, vandals, and other behavior that can not be tolerated in a civil society, Black Lives Mater BloNo celebrates with their “comrades”: Black Lives Matter had a message worth discussing, they now have no credibility. Violence and destruction of local businesses makes you immaterial especially when you agree with […]
Updates: https://blnnews.com/2020/06/15/more-on-the-list/ https://blnnews.com/2020/06/15/did-jenn-make-this-comment/ By: Diane Benjamin Please read to the bottom and then share Jenn Carrillo was brought illegally to this country by her parents. If her parents broke the law to provide a better life for the family that’s understandable. Jenn isn’t here for a better life however. She is the founder of […]
By: Diane Benjamin One of the demands of Black Lives Matter is to end cash bail. They want the jails cleared out of murder suspects, armed robbery suspects, rapists – etc. They don’t think it’s fair for minorities to sit in jail because they can’t afford bail when they haven’t been convicted of anything. That […]
By: Diane Benjamin The left is famous for “never enough”. Whatever goals they achieve they want more. The local police were supposedly so bad a civilian police review board (PSCRB) had to be established. It took forever before they investigated one complaint – they determined the police did nothing wrong. They had meetings, printed flyers […]
By: Diane Benjamin How did Barack Obama get elected twice if this country is racist? This video is people most will know talking about racism. Where are the local black people standing up to the anarchists in Black Lives Matter? Yesterday’s event wasn’t led by blacks. Watch the video, it explains why. Check out […]
By: Diane Benjamin Jenn Carrillo gets talking points from the Southern Poverty Law Center. SPLC is a money making machine promoting personal attacks for money. https://thefederalist.com/2018/05/07/5-reasons-southern-poverty-law-center-hate-mongering-scam/ See more at the link above. This organization thrives on hate and violence. Any person or organization that uses the Southern Poverty Law Center as a source for […]
By: Diane Benjamin State Farm is currently conducting employee training about participating in protests. The will fire any employee involved in what they consider uncivil protests. State Farm has a financial stake since they insure many people and businesses. Jeff Crabill is a lawyer for State Farm. Even though there was a large gathering yesterday […]
By: Diane Benjamin Yesterday Jenn Carrillo posted this: Jenn Carrillo does not care about the foundations of a civil society: Rule of Law. She has forfeited her right to serve as a representative of Ward 6 in the City of Bloomington. The video below was taken by one of the protesters and posted to […]
By: Diane Benjamin Officers covering for other officers they know shouldn’t carry a badge and a gun is what led to the death of a black man in Minneapolis. I doubt there is any person in America that condones what the 4 officers did, especially the three without their knee on the guys neck who […]
By: Diane Benjamin The McLean County Board Executive Committee heard a report today on homelessness locally from Karen Zangerle of PATH. Listen to the video below starting at 1:24:30. There is no shortage of beds available. There is no shortage of money available for rent assistance. There are rooms at local hotels available for first […]
By: Diane Benjamin Received by FOIA. On March 13th Jenn Carrillo tried to call an emergency meeting with the County, Bloomington, and Normal: https://blnnews.com/2020/04/08/hey-jenn-carrillo-you-got-379-votes/ Since that didn’t work out, plan #2: She invited tons of elected officials to “her call” without telling them who the community groups were. Turns out they were all her radical […]
By: Diane Benjamin Last night – Note who was the featured guest: If you want to see the demands: https://docs.google.com/document/ Radicals always want to grow government using your money. Maybe Tari can fill citizens in at tonight’s rescheduled meeting. I wonder if he made it clear some of their demands are illegal. The radicals aren’t […]
By: Diane Benjamin Democrat socialists are just regular socialists. They want to shut down speech they don’t agree with. The local clowns are no different. Socialism is about government control and taking away your rights. Of course it won’t apply to “their” rights. Please nominate Bernie Sanders so Trump can crush him. Note how the […]
By: Diane Benjamin One candidate for State office showed up at both the Bloomington City Council meeting and the County Board meeting this week. Evidently she is running her campaign on cannabis: The Council sign says: Support on-site consumption. She must be going for the Jenn Carrillo vote! She is running in the 88th. Her […]
By: Diane Benjamin Jenn Carrillo is giving taxpayers a close up look at what tyranny looks like. If you don’t agree with her agenda, she will call out her minions. Her buddies at Black Lives Matter called the Council racist: BLM statement Quote: And when you knowingly and continuously pass policies that perpetuate harm […]
By: Diane Benjamin The Downtown Task Force was a joke, the vast majority of people did not want to build a new library and bus transfer station by tearing down a parking garage. Tari claimed the Budget Task force was a success, it proved that Council was incapable of making any cuts. Huge success Tari. […]
By: Diane Benjamin Last year Black Lives Matter bailed out Myleria Briggs for Mother’s Day. She was in jail for retail theft and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She entered a guilty plea in June of 2018. 24 days in jail and 24 months probation. It was a Class 3 felony. All Springfield […]
By: Diane Benjamin The Local Black Lives Matter group is raising money to get somebody out of jail for Christmas. Remember when they did the Mother’s Day and Father’s bailouts? Maybe it’s just me, but keeping people from getting arrested by teaching them laws matter would be a better approach. Everything in stores is more […]
She wasn’t allowed to be released without bail because she had an arrest in Springfield for retail theft that will go to trial in June. It wasn’t because she was black. See that arrest information here: http://records.sangamoncountycircuitclerk.org/sccc/DisplayDocket.sc By: Diane Benjamin Black Lives Matter Blono has been raising money to bail a mother out of jail […]
See bottom of story for update. By: Diane Benjamin Remember when City hall was packed with people wanting citizens to oversee the Police? Remember this new Board supposedly only had the power to review cases after all other remedy within the Police Department was exhausted? The Public Safety Community Review Board was the first wedge […]
By: Diane Benjamin If Normal passes the Welcoming Ordinance tonight, they are empowering leftist radicals. Bloomington and Normal are chasing people out of town by giving into radicals. It started with citizens second guessing the actions of the police. It continues with laws ignored via a Welcoming Ordinance. Now they think they should pick the next […]
By: Diane Benjamin This will be an anti-Trump event: No peace if they don’t their way? . . . . . . . . Only supporters are welcome: The Trump haters will be there demanding laws be ignored. I wonder why illegals and those who have over-stayed their visas want to stay in a country […]
