By: Diane Benjamin 1) I can’t believe this myth is still on an elected official (who wants reelected) and Unit 5 teacher’s Facebook page. Does he lie as a County Board member? Does he lie to kids he teaches. Actual facts from Congressional testimony: “That child that you’re showing right there, the men and women […]
By: Diane Benjamin Below is the playbook the far left uses to win elections. Show up everywhere, act like you are everybody’s best friend, pretend being elected isn’t about obtaining power, and saying whatever you have to for votes. See Abby Scott: https://blnnews.com/2025/11/25/bloomington-%f0%9f%a4%a6%e2%99%80%ef%b8%8f/ Of course Abby and her husband Corey Beirne are friends of Krystle’s. […]
By: Diane Benjamin Beirne has joined Matt Chapman as a Libs of TikTok star: https://blnnews.com/2025/10/09/normal-community-report-card/ Side note: Media reported Unit 5 didn’t have any consequences for Chapman’s political shirt because it didn’t disrupt any classes. The picture of him was taken by a person inside Normal Community High School who considered it inappropriate enough to […]
By: Diane Benjain Abby fails to state her husband, Corey Beirne, is employed by Unit 5. Beirne can’t say this himself since he is likely running for re-election: . Let me remind you what Alex Williams stated on social media: . Abby thinks his comments are positive? According to Abby Scott, Bloomington Ward 9 alderman, […]
By: Diane Benjamin Last night’s agenda is here: https://meetings.boardbook.org/Public/Organization/1482 I can’t wait for property bills next year. I can’t wait to hear how much property taxes increase because those who bothered to vote were conned into believing their property taxes would decrease if the 1% Sales Tax increase passed. Still no word from the State’s […]
By: Diane Benjamin I started driving again about a week and half ago. I’m no longer in house jail. The gas bubble the doctor put in my eye to hold it in place disappeared today. It had been shrinking steadily for weeks. The last time the bubble disappeared the fix only lasted for a week. […]
By: Diane Benjamin The mailer below was sent to hard R’s in Ward 9 – people who vote in Republican primaries. Ask Abby if she has voted in a Republican Primary in the last 10 years! If the answer is YES she lying. Ask if she has voted in Democrat primaries. Hint: Every one. I […]
By: Diane Benjamin A reader commented yesterday about Cody Hendricks, claiming he had never voted for anything that hurt people. I think I deleted that comment because it was lengthy and full of propaganda. Evidently, tripling the water rates doesn’t hurt people — unless you live paycheck to paycheck, where every dollar matters. What if […]
By: Diane Benjamin Abby Scott is running for Bloomington Council Ward 9: . This is her husband and County Board memeber: . Fascists don’t cut the size of government. A teacher should know that one! I hope his list has some better choices, he missed great singers like Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder. He could […]
By: Diane Benjamin I wouldn’t know anything was sent out at Unit 5 if this guy had kept his mouth shut: (County Board member and music teacher) . Beirne must not know the administration is picking up CRIMINAL illegals. They aren’t interested in kids. Is Unit 5 harboring criminal kids Corey? In a follow-up post […]
By: Diane Benjamin The same far left cabal voters soundly defeated 4 years ago just regrouped as different people. Cody Hendricks is no different than Jackie Gunderson. Abby Scott is no different than Jenn Carrillo and Jeff Crabill. If socialists/Marxists are supporting you, it’s not a stretch to see you are one too. Abby Scott […]
By: Diane Benjamin Both of the people below are elected County Board Members Beirne has no idea what fascism is. He doesn’t even know how to spell it. . Spoken like a true Marxist Krystle. She also doesn’t know what a fascist is: . Since these two despise Trump, how do you think they feel […]
Guess who the Democrats picked? Progressives are so easy to predict. I called it below. The only guy who can’t prove he’s a Republican This was received by one of the applicants. The others need to check their spam folder if they haven’t seen it. That’s called a punt: By: Diane Benjamin Five people applied […]
By: Diane Benjamin Local elections are April 1st. I wanted to wait until January to post items you need to know to be informed, but evidently campaigning has already started. Electing another spouse duo means zero diversity. The City and County Boards already have spouses Cody Hendricks and Eric Hansen. This is Abby Scott and […]
By: Diane Benjamin Frequently I let things go that annoy me. Below is one of things that still annoys me 2-3 days later so it gets a story. Keep in mind his wife if running for the Bloomington City Council April 1st: Abby Scott Democrat County Board member Corey Beirne posted this days ago. If […]
By: Diane Benjamin https://bloomingtonelectionsil.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/24GILBLO_SPECIMEN_FINAL.pdf Unlike the County where the Clerk in charge of elections is actually elected, BEC has this disclaimer on their site: https://bloomingtonelectionsil.gov/november-5th-2024-general-election/specimen-ballot On the County website you can locate what YOUR ballot will look like, it won’t have every office like BEC’s does. That is the difference between being able to hold […]
By: Diane Benjamin McLean County property taxes aren’t going down – look at this slide from last week’s County Board meeting and see if you can tell why I know that: Need more time? I can wait . . . . The overall spending is decreasing because the COVID bucks aren’t rushing into the coffers […]
By: Diane Benjamin Do you ever read a news story and think to yourself: This doesn’t feel right. If yes, you have critical thinking skills that make you not fall for whatever information is pushed. Both Krystle Able and Corey Beirne posted an AXIOS story on Facebook which claims the end of cash bail in […]
By: Diane Benjamin From a friend of mine: Since May I have been telling friends and acquaintances about the effort to uncover the terrible truth about the condition of voter rolls across the country. United Sovereign Americans volunteers in 27 states have been working hard. In Illinois, our highly qualified and credentialed volunteer data team […]
By: Diane Benjamin I was going to wait until after the November election to write about local elections, but I don’t think this can wait that long. There is a disturbing trend in local government that is limiting DIVERSITY of thought. Should married couples be allowed to hold elected office? Why is this trend only […]
Response: By: Diane Benjamin Why is Corey make himself prime for a story? Yes, school shooting are traumatic horrible events that should never happen. They are worse when the shooter is known to law enforcement, the student’s parents, and the school and all of them do nothing to protect vulnerable kids! That is the case […]
By: Diane Benjamin How much are you paying Unit 5 in property taxes? See this story from November of 2023. It shows last year Unit 5 had 837 students in English as a second language classes. Now Unit 5 has 1100: https://www.unit5.org/departments/english-learner-programs . Enrollment at Unit 5 had been decreasing for years. Since Illinois is […]
By: Diane Benjamin Keep in mind GAZA was free until they attacked Israel on October 7, 2023. Palestinians elected Hamas and haven’t had elections again since that happened in 2006. Hamas then murdered opposition to keep power. Nice folks. I wasn’t going to do a story on just Krystle Able, but when Corey Beirne chimed […]
By: Diane Benjamin In case you missed this story: https://blnnews.com/2024/04/12/no-one-was-denied-the-right-to-vote/ Piling on by the far left because laws are immaterial, Corey Beirne had to add his 1 cent brain: DEI is Marxist ideology that eliminates exceptionalism. I hope Corey gets a DEI doctor some day. Microaggressions are merely attempts at limiting speech for fear somebody […]
By: Diane Benjamin From 2009-2010 Democrats controlled all 3 branches of government. Joe Biden had the same thing in 2021 when the Senate was 50-50 giving Kamala Harris the tie breaking vote. They could have legalized illegal immigrants and DACA and recipients all by themselves, they didn’t even try. If they care so much about “migrants” why didn’t they? […]
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 […]
By: Diane Benjamin Constitution: Article 4, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; Open borders is an invasion. Just in December at least 302,000 people turned themselves in at the southern border. The Mexican cartels are rich trafficking humans. In […]
By: Diane Benjamin The Illinois State Board of Education hasn’t released the Report Card for Unit 5 yet for the 2022-2023 year.

Unit 5 has […]
By: Diane Benjamin It was the Democrats who wanted to change the agreement made when a 10-10 Board was elected and a Republican was picked as chair. Last night changed nothing. In October the last empty seat will be filled restoring the 10-10 board. A Republican will still be in charge, what the Republicans did […]
By: Diane Benjamin Just two examples are below. I’m sure there are many more. Why would the the Superintendent and a teacher need to include their preferred pronouns on public documents unless Unit 5 students are allowed to “pick” theirs. Is this done behind the parents backs? Are students told they can pick their gender? […]
By: Diane Benjamin The ethics ordinance Unit 5 has posted on their website is REQUIRED by State law. It’s there to pretend legislators want to clean up corruption in Illinois. Every level of government is required to have one that meets certain standards. Of course nobody is in charge of enforcing it. John Adams said: […]
By: Diane Benjamin Not to one employee who while at events the last two nights, being compensated as part of his job, campaigned FOR the referendum. I’ve got video. What is Unit 5 going to do to Corey Beirne for violations? Does Unit 5 have ethics? https://www.unit5.org/Page/297
By: Diane Benjamin Corey Beirne teaches more than music to 600 Unit 5 students. He is also teaching transgender and LBGT+ ideology to ELEMENTARY STUDENTS. Beirne gave this speech in June of 2021 to the Unit 5 School Board, they must approve since he’s still there. (Unit 5 wants more money? For this?) Beirne mentions […]
By: Diane Benjamin https://www.wglt.org/local-news/2022-06-01/in-the-wake-of-uvalde-b-n-teachers-want-change-not-guns Corey Beirne needs to report the WGLT article as a campaign contribution. He is running for the McLean County Board and WGLT just happened to pick him for an interview him from all the teachers in the Unit 5 School District. Beirne proves he isn’t qualified to hold an elected office […]
By: Diane Benjamin Please read to the BOTTOM! County Board candidates who filed for office are listed below by District. Since redistricting you get to vote for two this year, a drawing will be held after the election to see who gets a 2 year term and who gets 4 years. District 2 will have […]
By: Diane Benjamin This Unit 5 teacher did: He supposedly teaches music. I wonder how Critical Race Theory fits into music?
