By: Diane Benjamin On this Memorial Day weekend, we remember those who have fought and died for us. America began with a war for freedom and many wars have been fought since to protect it. We would not enjoy this legacy today without the sacrifices of those willing to lose their life in our defense. […]
By: Diane Benjamin After the McLean County Chamber of Commerce supported every big spender in the local elections, they are now want a huge sports complex at your expense. If government created prosperity, Illinois would be the most successful state in the country! Instead, people are fleeing high taxes, regulations, and government nonsense. But the […]

He was a speaker at Camp Obama in 2007: https://blnnews.com/2013/02/25/vetting-tari-renner-obama/ After 8 years of a President who didn’t care about laws, the local radicals are outraged a President was elected to end the chaos Obama caused.

By: Diane Benjamin Tonight Bloomington is holding a public hearing on the budget for the year that starts May 1st. All you need to know is Bloomington is planning on hiring 4 more employees which will make the pension liability even higher and, to balance the budget, they are robbing the Enterprise Funds: I guess […]
By: Diane Benjamin Some regimes hold their populations hostage at gun point, other do it with debt. Normal is using debt for your entertainment. The Town must not appreciate their public safety personnel. If you missed it, police and fire pensions are seriously underfunded while the staff has plenty of room to collect their retirements. […]
By: Diane Benjamin Years ago a guy wanted to buy the old Coachman Motel property on East Washington and turn it into a parking lot. Instead of collecting money and handing over the property title, the City told him they didn’t want a parking lot there. Instead, under City ownership, this is what it looks […]
By: Diane Benjamin Citizens have forgotten history. Getting away from repressive government is why people took a treacherous journey by boat across an ocean to get here. It’s why they fought a war to found a new country. They wanted to be free. Free to practice the religion of their choice. Free to govern themselves. […]
By: Diane Benjamin When government thinks they are helping people they are really robbing the population – the ones paying the bills and the ones receiving goods or services. Obviously if you are forced to give your money to the government for things you never use, want, or need your wallet is being fleeced. Many […]

By: Diane Benjamin Besides the two aldermen who didn’t care enough about their constituents (Painter/Hauman) to actually attend the Bloomington City Council meetings, one other moment proved the complete incompetence of government. Government uses your money, so logic, common sense, and fiscal responsibility don’t need to be deployed. Back in July of 2014 the Council […]
By: Diane Benjamin People wanting to end capitalism are all around us now. Too many want their share of your wealth and expect government to give it too them. Too many others blame capitalism for everything wrong with the world. They are oblivious to what capitalism really is and what makes it the perfect form […]

The local organizer is Zachary Braun, an employee at Walgreens and an ISU student. His LinkedIn account describes him as: Team Leader at Progressive Democrats of America What are they marching […]
By: Diane Benjamin Why should Bloomington and Normal not merge into one city? Since Normal already has offices nicer than most corporations, Uptown would be the new center of government. Citizens could save a ton of money on overhead and administration salaries. Koos is already running Bloomington anyway, so let the savings begin. A hotel downtown didn’t wait for a […]

By John Hawkins Given what we know in 2012, saying that capitalism will make a society richer than socialism should be about as controversial as saying the earth is round, not flat. Yet, a recent Gallup poll shows that more liberals have a positive view of socialism than capitalism. This is only possible because there are so […]
by WILLIAM BIGELOW 1 Dec 2012 According to a Gallup poll conducted November 18-19, more than half of Democrats (53%) approve of socialism, which isn’t surprising, but almost one-quarter of Republicans (23%) also do. What the poll reveals is that there is a significant difference between the reality of what voters approve and their reactions to terms that represent […]
November 29, 2012, 9:15 am By Trevor Loudon Contrary to popular opinion, the US Democratic Party does not set much of its own policy. Democrat policy is actually dictated by the labor unions and radical think tanks, such as the Center for American Progress, and the Institute for Policy Studies. The unions are dominated by the US’s largest Marxist […]

by REBEL PUNDIT This Saturday, the Midwest Marxist Conference was held at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. The event was teeming with teachers who spoke about the new found bond between the radical socialists and their Teachers Union.

Is wasn’t that long ago that communists in the United States were hunting for treason. Today they make YouTube videos. If you don’t understand that people DIE under communism – take a refresher course: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_killings_under_Communist_regimes Do we hold freedom and liberty in so little regard today that communism is now celebrated? Congressman Allen West was […]
