By: Diane Benjamin Just to make sure everyone knows: The Obamacare subsidies that haven’t been extended were passed under Biden during Covid. No Republicans voted for them. Democrats put a 5 year expiration date on the additional money. This article explains why the subsidies shouldn’t be extended, Cato isn’t a bunch of conservatives: https://www.cato.org/blog/six-reasons-not-extend-enhanced-obamacare-subsidies Obamacare […]

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 How the Normal Township Supervisor, Krystle Able, self identifies on her Facebook page: . Posted this week: . Keep in mind she is a County Board member, Executive Director at Illinois Alliance for Retired Americans, and Normal Township Supervisor. Yesterday Able posted this, if the office hasn’t been fully staffed for years did […]
Only people who don’t learn from history, even recent history, would support Mamdani. That includes Krystle Alble who now has 3 jobs. She evidently is still the Executive Director of Illinois Alliance for Retired Americans. Her elected position as Normal Township Supervisor is a full time time job with full time pay, but without oversight […]
By: Diane Benjamin Is this how adults act? Is this how the elected act in a civilized society? This is democracy? . Her “job” allows her to travel to Springfield to make noise? She gets paid for being a nut? Normal Township is subsidizing activism? I wonder if Krystle sticks her fingers in her ears […]
By: Diane Benjamin I could write about Krystle’s ramblings Facebook every day, but I try to stick to the worst examples. Note she does not mention a spouse, a significant other, etc etc. She expected daddy government to pay. Did she write this because she believes the leftist talking points claiming is going after entitlements? […]
By: Diane Benjamin From Krystle Able’s Facebook page: . Like all Democrats truth doesn’t matter, neither does basic economics. Medicaid is not being cut for people who absolutely need it. Illegals aren’t entitled to free healthcare at our expense, they will not receive benefits. Work requirements may be added for those who are able to […]
By: Diane Benjamin I’m only doing this post because Krystle Able thinks the voters of Normal Township should vote for her to be the Township supervisor. Socialism has never worked anywhere because eventually more people expect free stuff than are willing to work for it. The election is April 1st! The below is from the […]
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 Illegal immigration and crimes committed by illegals played a large role in the election. The murder of Laken Riley and 12 year old Jocelyn Nungaray infuriated Americans because they also have daughters. The House passed the Laken Riley Act last March but Chuck Schumer didn’t bring it to the Senate floor. The […]
By: Diane Benjamin Bleeding heart liberals don’t believe in personal responsibility. They use government to redistribute your money for votes. Rights come from God, not government. Government changes it’s mind depending on who is in charge and how much money they have. The right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness never change. How […]
By: Diane Benjamin This is Able’s full time job: https://blnnews.com/2024/12/05/unqualified-krystle-able/ Just to prove Krystle is uninformed, she posted this: Robert Kennedy Jr won’t have anything to do with Social Security. The Social Security Administration is a separate agency handling that. May 2024: https://budget.house.gov/press-release/social-security-and-medicare-continue-on-path-to-insolvency-trustees-confirm Social Security becomes insolvent 2033. Medicare becomes insolvent in 2036. Krystle needs […]
By: Diane Benjamin Townships in Illinois mostly duplicate what cities and towns already do. There is zero reasons for not abolishing both the Bloomington and Normal townships. Everything they do could be done by existing government without a separate line item on your tax bill. The current Normal Township Supervisor was appointed in July of […]

I have been informed Stan Nord sent the two pics below to Pam Reece. She responded with what the Town lawyer sent to the Attorney General in response to Karyn Smith Request for Review. The Town claims they read the law – the Attorney General Open Meetings Act training is immaterial. See the response here: Town […]
