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 Do people in Logan County know who this is? . Now look at this picture: . See the top left corner? That’s Rachael Stechman. A concerned citizen of Atlanta thought citizens should know who in Logan County wants criminal illegal aliens protected and not the borders. Now you know. . It’s hilarious […]
By: Diane Benjamin Mike Matejka posted this on his Not In Our Town Facebook page: . Of course Mike is implying there is no difference between the KKK and ICE. Since Wikipedia has a fake history of the KKK, see History.com instead: https://www.history.com/articles/ku-klux-klan Quote: Founded in 1865, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost […]
By: Diane Benjamin Plenty of opportunities to prove who you voted for last year: . Does 50501 know Barack Obama sued Arizona and won because the Constitution gives the Feds authority over immigration – not states? Do attendees know Illinois coddles illegals with your tax dollars while raising your taxes? 50501 isn’t non-partisan. Only one […]
By: Diane Benjamin ICE is Federal Law Enforcement. They aren’t pretend cops. They are removing criminal illegal aliens – pedophiles, murders, rapists, etc. Chaos wouldn’t exist in blue cities if democrats didn’t incite people to interfere. Democrats didn’t have problem with deportations when Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama were deporting millions. The only reason they […]
By: Diane Benjamin The local Immigration Project is part of the Rapid Response when ICE is spotted. In other words they are warning illegal aliens. Yesterday: . The are paid with your tax dollars! According to OpenTheBooks.com: . You work hard for a paycheck so the State of Illinois can spend your money to obstruct […]
By: Diane Benjamin Posted by the person Normal Elected: . Marxists can’t get their facts straight because facts don’t fit the agenda. Obstructing law enforcement is the agenda! DHS posted this recap of some who have been arrested in Minneapolis: https://www.dhs.gov/news/2026/01/08/dhs-highlights-worst-worst-criminal-illegal-aliens-including-rapists-pedophiles-and Look at the list! The protestors want to keep phedophiles, sex offenders, domestic violence […]
By: Diane Benjamin “Cruel” is the new leftist buzzword. “Fraud” is a word they avoid. Billions of dollars appear to have been stolen in Minnesota through child care fraud schemes. We aren’t supposed to notice, right, Krystle? According to Republican gubernatorial candidate Ted Dabrowski, the amount of child care costs that Illinois bills the feds […]
Read the story from the Edgar County Watchdogs: Illegal-Aliens-Tied-to-Vehicle-Collision-in-Westfield-that-Killed-2-US-Citizens-Injured-2-Others
By: Diane Benjamin If you don’t understand that concept you didn’t read yesterday’s story word-for-word: https://blnnews.com/2025/10/07/proof-political-propaganda-is-allowed-at-unit-5/ This isn’t a tough thing to understand if you start with the fact kids are classroom captives. They can’t get up and walk out. They are forced to endure whatever propaganda a teacher wants them exposed to. If communication […]
By: Diane Benjamin Charlie Schlenker, WGLT, wrote what was really close to a good story about Krystle Able: https://www.wglt.org/local-news/2025-09-05/normal-township-supervisor-draws-two-paychecks Read the story if you haven’t yet, because this was Krystle’s response to it – posted on her Facebook page: . Since she tries hard to ignore my stories, I doubt that comment was directed at […]
By: Diane Benjamin This is Part 1, a short Part 2 is next. Last night’s festivities were full of misinformation by citizen speakers. Of course that’s why the 1st Amendment exists. It’s vitally important for all people to have free speech and the ability to address their government. Public Comment had to be extended over […]
By: Diane Benjamin Law enforcement is forced by the Illinois government to release criminal illegal aliens, what does that tell you? It should shout citizens and their safety are immaterial. Illinois loves criminals, especially if they are in the country illegally. They will obstruct ICE efforts to deport them. https://cis.org/Vaughan/Which-Sanctuary-Jurisdictions-Have-Released-Most-Criminals That story recaps the top […]
By: Diane Benjamin Attacks on ICE agents, including shooting them, is up 700%. Is this guy instigating the same attacks on law enforcement personnel here? The job of ICE is to enforce federal law. Looks like Sonny needs investigated. . His girlfriend “liked” his post and then posted this: . Laws are immaterial to these […]
By: Diane Benjamin 1) Pritzker must have figured out he will never be president. Instead he is running for a third term. Illinois should hold more No Kings events – against him. He thinks he is one. He and his party haven’t done enough damage yet. 2) WGLT joined a lawsuit to stop the defunding […]
By: Diane Benjamin 1) Did everyone miss this in yesterday’s story on the comments made by retired judge Knecht? https://blnnews.com/2025/04/28/laws-apply-to-judges-too/ Knecht thinks ICE should have operated in secret, behind closed doors, instead of attempting to arrest a criminal illegal at the courthouse. This isn’t government “For and By The People”. It is how most of […]
By: Diane Benjamin It sure looks like Krystle Able wants to do what got Pritzker and Johnson sued by the Department of Justice: “thwart” federal efforts to enforce immigration laws. https://apnews.com/article/trump-immigration-chicago-arrests-sanctuary-immigrants-enforcement-df278eba554406c6703bb362d9b09844 … , Since ICE is targeting violent criminals first, Krystle must want to keep them – just like Chicago. It looks like Able will […]
By: Diane Benjamin This is not the truth: . CTU President Stacy Gates spread a false rumor. ICE wasn’t at the school, it was Secret Service investigating a threat against the President: https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/secret-service-agents-responded-to-chicago-school-not-ice-agency-says/3655654/ Krystle never corrected what she wrote. She also never asked herself why the Chicago Teacher’s Union lied in the first place! She […]
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 Keep in mind this woman is an elected County Board member and is trying to get votes to make her Normal’s Township Supervisor: Donald Trump has stated criminal illegal immigrants are his first target for deportation. Tom Homan has stated families are welcome to be deported with the criminal. If I had […]
By: Diane Benjamin Follow-up: https://blnnews.com/2019/07/12/jose-rodriguez-is-back-in-jail/ Jose Rodriguez was bailed out of jail again after his bond was reduced. He was taken into custody by ICE agents. I am trying to determine what happens next and if he will face prosecution here. To be continued . . . Several people have noticed Tari isn’t living in […]
I had a representative in the courtroom. This is what she reported: Rodriguez was present. ICE agents were present. Judge Yoder declared he is in ICE custody since he is a fugutive from ICE. That confirms this story from July 8th: https://blnnews.com/2019/07/08/rodriguez-had-a-deportation-order/ He is being held in the McLean County jail, no further details are […]
By: Diane Benjamin It is official – Jose Rodriguez in an illegal alien. Catch and release policies allowed him to be free in this country since 2013. Of course he didn’t show up for his court date. STATEMENT: (on the record from Nicole Alberico as an ICE spokesperson) On June 23, 2019, deportation officers with […]
By: Diane Benjamin When Jose Rodriguez was arrested last week for the fatal accident his fingerprints were run through the FBI database. That tipped off Homeland Security who issued an immigration detainer for him. Because Illinois’ former governor signed the Trust Act, McLean County could not hold him for ICE. The retainer was signed by […]
By: Diane Benjamin Yesterday Alderman Jenn Carrillo posted a video on her Alderman Facebook page instructing illegals on what to do if ICE comes to their house or business. She claims she has been advocating for illegals for 10 years. She must think illegals all speak Spanish, she used both Spanish and English. Jenn is […]
By: Diane Benjamin Before I answer that question, local democrats and independents need to know the local democrat party is following the same course as the national party – moving so far left it’s difficult to see them as anything but socialists veering straight toward communism Keep in mind, Illinois People’s Action was the group […]
By: Diane Benjamin After the next election Bloomington won’t be represented by a majority of alderman who understand what made America great. Jeff Crabill will be elected since he is running unopposed (congrats Ward 8). Guess who is going to a No Ice In Dwight rally? Crabill obviously doesn’t know […]
By: Diane Benjamin The proposed “welcoming ordinance” is now posted. Illinois People’s Action, the YWCA, and all the other radicals demanding it will celebrate, but they are the big losers: The ordinance is a worthless exercise that changes nothing. It only recaps what is already happening. Some flowery Tari language is included only so the […]
By: Diane Benjamin Just rumors – some based in a lot of facts Bloomington’s Water department director resigned – Bob Yehl OSHA regulations were violated at Lake Bloomington yesterday as City employees destroyed a boat dock, If you are a buying a house at Lake Bloomington that has a boat dock, get a copy of […]
By: Diane Benjamin Government should operate on facts, not feelings. The illegal immigration issue won’t be solved in Bloomington for the same reason it isn’t solved in DC. It has nothing to do with people not being able to make decisions. They have decided: To some laws matter, to others they don’t. The people camping […]
By: Diane Benjamin With all the heat Tari Renner has been feeling now for months, was last night’s packed chamber wanting a “Welcoming Ordinance” his way to get some love? Or was it a way to divide people based on ideology? Is the real goal to unravel the threads of a civilized society by turning […]
Sheriff Emery referred me to a story written by Charlie Schlenker at WGLT radio. It goes into more depth and explains the problems more completely: http://wglt.org/wireready/news/2012/07/05173_CJCC_Immmig_depth_180058.shtml by Diane Benjamin A letter to the Editor in today’s Pantagraph from a local member of Latinos United For Change and Illinois Peoples Action caught my attention. They […]
