By: Diane Benjamin Democrats have put a Constitutional Amendment on the November ballot in Illinois. Reforming pensions (that are closing in on eating half of the State budget) isn’t on the ballot. Banning Right To Work that hands power to unions collecting those unaffordable pensions is on the ballot. Here is how you know your […]
By: Diane Benjamin Remember when the local Democratic Socialists showed up at the June Unit 5 School Board meeting? With bullhorn in hand they obstructed people wanting to enter the building: https://blnnews.com/2021/06/17/unit-5-community-organizing-by-the-local-socialists/ Socialists are anti-American. They believe government makes better decisions than you do and therefore have the right to seize private property, mandate vaccines, […]
By: Diane Benjamin Some locals aren’t happy paying rent. Having a place to live isn’t something you work for, according to them it’s a RIGHT. How many haven’t paid rent in over a year? Why do they think a place to live is a RIGHT? It isn’t, just like food isn’t a RIGHT. If it […]
By: Diane Benjamin See below: Apartheid isn’t accurate, The Israel Knesset has Arab members. Colonialism? Look at a map. Israel is the size of New Jersey surrounded by Arab countries. Military occupation? Israel’s military left Gaza years ago, the occupying force is funded by Iran. Equality? Do they prefer socialism or communism? Everybody will be equally […]
By: Diane Benjamin I stumbled onto this page weeks ago: https://keywiki.org/Democratic_Socialists_of_America_Bloomington-Normal It proves you should be worried about sending your kids to college at ISU or Heartland. One of the members of the local Democratic Socialists of America was just elected to the Heartland Board: https://www.heartland.edu/about/trustees.html Supporting Bernie Sanders is all you need to understand […]
By: Diane Benjamin I heard Jenn Carrillo handed out candy bars to buy votes two years ago. Now it’s pizza. Maybe in two years they will have to move up to ribeye steaks. At least they provided a partial list of candidates who do not believe voters are intelligent enough to know socialism fails every […]
By: Diane Benjamin The below is from the local Trades & Labor Facebook page. Of course they endorsed all left leaning candidates, but is it worse? See the Vice-President’s name at the bottom: Who is Adam Heenan? From his Facebook page: https://aeon.co/essays/is-it-time-to-upend-the-idea-that-land-is-private-property?fbclid=IwAR2yjgbJ93CXU5o6tjESVruCjQ434rPD352bLoNTP5RE8K9gts1XH3yGK9I Are all union members socialists now? Do they all agree nobody should own […]
By: Diane Benjamin The winners on April 6th will be determined solely on turnout. Around 20% will bother to vote, most people won’t know there is an election. They won’t understand local politics will hurt them far more than any November election. Unless YOU get people to the poles, these people will win. Guess who […]
By: Diane Benjamin If the citizens of Bloomington do not show up to vote, the Council will be dominated by Jenn Carrillo. She already thinks she runs the agenda: Below is what the socialist agenda will be: Identity Politics LGBTQ politics Class warfare Wealth redistribution The April 6th winners will be on the Council for […]
Socialism Kills! Obviously Carrillo was never taught history and doesn’t bother to learn. She is the enemy within. She and Jeff Carbill need to be marginalized by the other Bloomington City Council members. Congrats Bloomington: Two of her buddies are running next April. Capitalism is the fairest way to exchange goods and services and the […]
By: Diane Benjamin Did you file for unemployment? How much are you receiving? Case in point: I know a person who works part time and was approved for $90 a week. Because of the DC bills that will bankrupt the country, that person is getting $90 a week plus $600. That’s more than this person […]
By: Diane Benjamin Hitler was elected. The people of Germany voted for a socialist because he promised to save them. Democratic Socialism. Those wanting to re-write history don’t want you to know his party was called: National Socialist German Workers’ Party. Socialists always come to power promising equality and free stuff. It’s easy to get votes […]
By: Diane Benjamin Public comment last night was loaded with those who think they are entitled to tax dollars. Yes people have lost jobs and yes paying bills is next to impossible, but that doesn’t make them entitled to anything. The good socialists showed up en masse to criticize the FIVE Council members who voted […]
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 If you needed any more proof the YWCA is one of the radical centers of McLean County: DSA is Democratic Socialists of America. They claim democratic socialism is much different from regular old socialism. It isn’t. It is just the first step to becoming Cuba or Venezuela. They convince people to vote […]
By: Diane Benjamin Maybe attempting to disguise themselves, the local group uses the initials DSA instead of Democratic Socialists of America. This Saturday they are holding a meeting on the Wesleyan Campus: I bet they will agree with this statement: “capitalism is the realm of injustice”. Before DSA gets excited, those words were uttered by Hugo […]
by Diane Benjamin The present Congress will NEVER get along – here’s why: Click this link: Progressive Caucus This page was printed from the DSAUSA website – see the right top corner. What is DSAUSA? Democratic Socialists of America! It lists all the members of Congress who were members of DSAUSA-the list is from the […]
