By: Diane Benjamin I don’t copy anywhere near all of her posts. The ones I choose show her policy thinking. She is part of the local Democrat Party and since most of the other local Democrats never post anything but platitudes, I like showing voters how Democrats really think. I have a long list of […]
By: Diane Benjamin . ObamaCare didn’t work? Of course it didn’t because government isn’t capable of managing healthcare. Doctors were forced to work for corporations instead of being independent. As predicted before Democrats passed it, doctor shortages now exist. Add we now have 10-15 million illegals competing with Americans for healthcare. Isn’t theirs free? One […]
By: Diane Benjamin If you are confused about the 3 advisory questions the democrats put on the ballot to prevent a parental rights advisory question, Krystle Able thinks you should vote YES on all 3: . Of course unintended consequences are difficult without critical thinking skills. She also still wants Rent Control. Krystle also posted […]
By: Diane Benjamin Start with this story: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/09/16/nearly-500-republican-democrat-officials-urge-joe-biden-import-2-5-million-migrants-fill-american-jobs/ Excerpt: Almost 500 local and state elected officials, both Republicans and Democrats, are urging President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s administration to admit some 2.5 million migrants to the United States through the federal government’s refugee resettlement program. That story is from yesterday, the letter […]
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 Keep in mind the Democrats plan to take over the County Board in November for I think the first time ever. This is the mentality you will get: Krystle Able was the ONLY County Board member NOT at the Thursday meeting. That didn’t stop her from posting this on Facebook and then […]
By: Diane Benjamin Did your water bill skyrocket? A friend told me this weekend his meter wasn’t read for the 2 previous months and this month the City made up for it with a massive increase. Agenda: https://d3n9y02raazwpg.cloudfront.net/cityblm/f7247ca1-5bbe-11ee-ae13-0050569183fa-d854eb82-3702-4140-9de6-ac3a8e3f379d-1725655884.pdf Proving “diversity” is merely a talking point, the mayor is doing another reappointment tonight: Joseph Blaney to […]
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 […]
By: Diane Benjamin Communities can already control rent increases – Quit raising property taxes! Quit pretending the needs of government are superior to the needs of people actually earning the money you take. People need to quit electing big government spenders who created the current destructive inflation by printing money. This would be Game Changing […]
By: Diane Benjamin Everyone’s first thought is property taxes. The fleecing of property owners on unrealized gains does contribute, that is no different than taxing you on stocks that have increased in value but you haven’t sold them. To pay taxes you would have to sell. Of course, if the value decreases you don’t get […]
By: Diane Benjamin 1) Unintended consequences are never considered when feelings are used to make decisions. Another Krystle Able post has unintended consequences splattered all over it. What is regulated you get less of. Econ 101. As a Democrat County Board member Able increased rents by voting to seize increased property taxes because property values […]
By: Diane Benjamin The Constitution was written to limit government. The founders believed people can govern themselves. The fight ever since has been between people who don’t want government running every aspect of their lives and those who do. Progressives use government to enrich themselves and their friends. That couldn’t be more clear than the […]
By: Diane Benjamin Of course socialists hate capitalism. Krystle posts lots of anti-American stuff but this is a classic: . Let’s start with people should be encouraged to buy a home, not rent their entire life. Owning builds wealth, renting does nothing but provide a place to live while you pay somebody else’s mortgage. Krystle […]
By: Diane Benjamin Separation of church and state is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution or law. The Bible was the first textbook used in schools. Money wouldn’t say “In God We Trust,” and the top of the Washington Monument wouldn’t say “Laus Deo” if our forebearers wanted God removed from public life. The Latin […]
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 . They won’t be getting tips. California raised minimum wage to $20 an hour for fast food workers. Below are articles detailing the results: (hint: higher prices, layoffs, automation) https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/california-s-20-minimum-wage-is-killing-thousands-of-jobs/ar-BB1kE8gS https://ijr.com/california-fast-food-chains-fire-workers-20-minimum-wage-kicks https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2024-03-27/fast-food-minimum-wage Economics 101 should be required in high school. Raising the minimum wage hurts more people than helps. Next a real […]
By: Diane Benjamin Members of the McLean County Democrat Party on the County Board are proposing new rules for meetings and members. The new Public Comment policy allows citizens to sign up at least 15 minutes before meetings. However, the allotted time is still only 15 minutes, which is ridiculous for a county as large as […]
By: Diane Benjamin A Facebook page for parents of Unit 5 kids has been taken down. It only lasted a few days. Many parents appreciated a place to discuss school issues, County Board member Krystle Able didn’t. Under socialism you aren’t allowed to even have causal conversations against the elites. You are expected to only praise Unit 5 and […]
By: Diane Benjamin Sometimes people deserve to be laughed at. Start with this meme from Able’s Facebook page: . Israel is a foreign country that was attacked on October 7th. They don’t care what Chicago’s mayor says! Maybe Israel should call out Chicago for all the daily violence and schools that don’t educate – just babysit. Progressives just want chaos. […]
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 In case you missed it, pro-Palatine protestors crashed the annual Democrat meeting at ISU: https://www.25newsnow.com/2023/11/11/protestors-crash-mclean-county-democratic-fundraising-dinner/?outputType=amp I doubt County Board member Krystle Able has ever studied Karl Marx, but she supports his policies anyway: Hint Krystle: Marx was a disgusting human being who lived off other people. He was widely rejected during his […]
By: Diane Benjamin More to this story: https://blnnews.com/2023/05/13/desantis-derangement-syndrome/ Bloomington’s own Sonny Garcia proved he is evil – just hit play below. Does his girlfriend County Board member Krystle Able agree? You should know that taxpayers were forced to fund pay this clown, first through wages and now pension. From OpenTheBooks.com
By: Diane Benjamin Rachael Lund spent a lot of time collecting signatures to run for Normal Town Council. Then she withdrew because she is leaving the area. She saved me the trouble of posting stories like this one again: https://blnnews.com/2020/10/30/who-is-the-real-rachel-lund/ Lund is obviously far left. Not many signatures are needed to run for Bloomington Council. […]
By: Diane Benjamin Like a lot of people running for office Krystle attempts to act normal and caring until the election is over. She’s currently running for County Board. h/t a reader One more: , I wonder if Krystle knows Hitler was a socialist? (The Nazi Party, officially the National Socialist German Workers’ Party) How’s […]
By: Diane Benjamin The Board members take turns starting the meetings with Invocation or Moment of Silence. See 15:45 for democrat Val Laymon’s version. I assume nobody was supposed to laugh. Don Knapp was appointed by the Illinois Supreme Court to fill a vacancy as judge caused by the retirement of Paul Lawrence – effective […]
By: Diane Benjamin 1) I’m collecting signs gas stations have on their pumps to comply with Pritzker’s demand people know he delayed the $.02 increase until after the election. Thorton’s at Route 9 and Hershey just has the Pritzker verbiage. Correction: This is at the Exxon Mobile station off 74 in Downs. The reader who […]
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 How about when a local devoted socialist is asked to write about it? Yes the socialists want to ban meat to save the planet. If you see Krystle or friends out eating meat, snap a pic. Here’s more proof Climate Change is a hoax from the Heartland Institute: (heartland.org) From a Press […]
By: Diane Benjamin When Krystle graduates with a degree in English Literature and can’t find a job, first she will blame capitalism. Second she will expect you to pay off her student loans. Instead of working to make herself marketable, she prefers attacking the owner of a business in Leroy who went on the Cities […]
By: Diane Benjamin The local (Democrat) socialists pretend they support the people. They don’t – they only want power. They will use that power to do what socialists always do, punish their enemies. They don’t want to learn or have discussions. They demand you comply or be destroyed. I’m sure you’ve noticed that tactic by […]
By: Diane Benjamin This was posted on Facebook by a Jenn Carrillo buddy: DB is evidently me. When Straza was running in Ward 5 against socialist Lawler of course I would pick Straza. But Straza decided to reach for the moon without having any experience in Bloomington government that I know of. I don’t remember […]
By: Diane Benjamin Follow-up to this story: https://blnnews.com/2020/11/06/bloomington-monday-socialist–day/ When the far left wants to jam something down the throats of people they despise, what do they do? Attempt to rally the troops! It didn’t go too well for one of them who posted in a Facebook group where people actually don’t swallow cancel culture socialism. […]
