By: Diane Benjamin h/t a reader Since Chemberly Harris has little money for her mayoral campaign, I haven’t paid any attention to what she’s doing. https://www.illinoissunshine.org/committees/39918/ Then yesterday a reader told me I needed to see the video she posted to Facebook. I taped a little of it, see her whole video here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563272094358 Harris […]
By: Diane Benjamin The policy under Tim Gleason in the City of Bloomington is to hire employees who resemble the people they serve. Just listen for 25 seconds: Gleason is talking about the rebranding program the Council never approved but now is expected to continue funding. If the majority of the Council wasn’t socialist the […]
By: Diane Benjamin This agenda item made last night’s Normal Town Council meeting last almost 3 hours: Ordinance Rezoning Property in the Town of Normal (4.14 Acres in the Wintergreen Subdivision) This is Jason Barickman’s company (Fairlawn Capital) plan to build houses that will most likely be rentals. The more than 100 houses will be […]
By: Diane Benjamin I guarantee you will be cheering too (unless you are woke). The School Board voted to ban CRT after he spoke. Wednesday night the ISU Academic Senate will likely pass by a LARGE majority a graduation requirement to create “woke” students. They call it IDEAS – Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access in […]
The letter below was written by a parent. Tuition for the school his daughter went to was $54,000 a year. It was originally printed at: https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/you-have-to-read-this-letter Parents, this thinking is spreading rapidly throughout the education system. Find out if it is in yours. Children are the future, kid’s indoctrinated with Critical Race Theory will not […]
By: Diane Benjamin Follow-up to this story: https://blnnews.com/2020/07/17/racism-claimed-where-non-existed/ In spite of the title – this story is not “In Support of Art and Camille Taylor”. Below is the heavily redacted video released by the City of Bloomington of the incident described in the previous story. Why is it vital to know what really happened? Art […]
The body cam video has not been released. Rest assured, it will be! By: Diane Benjamin When only one side of the story is flashed all over Facebook it’s easy to assume facts that aren’t facts. Of course Mike Matejka of Not In Our Town jumped all over this claiming racism is real. Here is […]
https://pointofview.net/articles/myth-of-systemic-police-racism/ Excerpts: (if facts still matter) Read the rest of the story for more, it also talks about Chicago where Black Lives must not matter.
By: Diane Benjamin Jenn Carrillo makes up history and twists facts to fit her own agenda: she wants democratic socialism. She will tell you that democratic socialism is much different from just plain old socialism, but it isn’t. Anybody who thinks government is capable of running your life better than you skipped civics and history. […]
Read this email exchange Jenn Carrillo had with a citizen of Bloomington. If Jenn thinks America is such an evil place, why is she here? Obviously her parents came to America (illegally) and brought her along for some reason, what was it Jenn? Congrats Ward 6 on electing a representative who thinks white people are racists. […]
See corrections in this story: https://blnnews.com/2018/01/11/unit-5-story-corrections/ By: Diane Benjamin I wish my kids had been coached by Darren Hess. The parents who spoke at last night’s School Board meeting proved Hess was a great mentor and role model for the players and their families. Great coaches don’t happen often, supporters are crushed to lose this one. […]
By: Diane Benjamin Just weeks ago City Manager Mark Peterson declared everybody racist – but he is determined to fix it: https://blnnews.com/2017/08/23/we-are-all-racist/ Normal is so racist in April they elected a black council member – Chemberly Cummings. According to a Pantagraph story, she thinks rural white teachers have never seen black kids before. I wonder what […]
By: Diane Benjamin A long line of people participated in Public Comment last night for the Citizens Advisory Board. According to most, racism is rampant among Bloomington Police officers. Evidently the BLACK Police Chief is racist too since he refuses to control the people under him. Some told tragic stories – like the lady with the […]
Fred On Everything Scurrilous Commentary by Fred Reed The Zimmerman affair warms the cockles of a curmudgeon´s heart. (I´m not sure what a cockle is, but I want mine to be at the right temperature.) Never have I seen such sprawling, cacophonous, indignant ignorance and frightful stupidity as that being exhibited by the American public. […]
