By: Diane Benjamin I suggest any readers click this link to watch the meeting now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC8s6_w_7Tk One speaker broke the rules. He told the Town he wanted to talk about chemical purchases and then went on a rant about Jelani Day’s memorial picture being taken down. This is what the Council is looking at right […]
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 Ward 5 candidate Patrick Lawler was supposed to participate in a debate tonight. Instead he posted this: Let’s deconstruct! Patrick isn’t interested in listening to Republicans. “Regardless of what party” is a load of crap or he would be there tonight. Patrick obviously only gets news that lied about the former President. […]
By: Diane Benjamin If the citizens of Bloomington do not show up to vote, the Council will be dominated by Jenn Carrillo. She already thinks she runs the agenda: Below is what the socialist agenda will be: Identity Politics LGBTQ politics Class warfare Wealth redistribution The April 6th winners will be on the Council for […]
See who was endorsed in the last local election: https://web.archive.org/web/20190710062621/http:/www.bntrades.org/?zone=/unionactive/view_article.cfm&HomeID=736543 Hint: Jenn Carrillo, Jeff Crabill, Kathleen Lorenz, RC McBride, . . . . By: Diane Benjamin The picks below were made by Bloomington-Normal Trades and Labor. Some of their picks make ALL of their candidates suspect: To that end we ask our members and the […]
By: Diane Benjamin Ward 3 did have 3 candidates, but one has dropped out. The two candidates left in the race are: Sheila Montney and Willie Holton Halbert who is running as a team with the other socialists. If you want to dial 911 and not get an answer because the police got defunded, here […]
By: Diane Benjamin Tweet from Ward 5 socialist candidate Patrick Lawler: Going to go to their homes Patrick? That is what the radical left does – it’s called intimidation! Poor Lawler only got 5 likes to his tweet, here’s who “liked” it, the first two are also candidates: Communists and socialists Don’t forget Lawler is […]
By: Diane Benjamin Since the Carrillo and Crabill socialists are running their own candidates, this group knows which socialists they are going to endorse. They expect other candidates to fill out their questionnaire so the answers can be used against them. Note, they are targeting Bloomington. All the socialists need to completely run Bloomington is […]
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 The last day to file for the Bloomington or Normal councils was yesterday. There is still time to file for school boards. The Bloomington Election Commission was lightning fast posting the petitions of of those running for office: https://www.becvote.org/wordpress/petitions-challenges/ Petitions for Normal were filed with the Town Clerk. Evidently they are SECRET […]
By: Diane Benjamin Who are Progressive Voices of Central Il? From their Facebook page: If you don’t want to overthrow our Constitutional Republic and replace it with an authoritarian government – you are not welcome in this group. Still support Black Lives Matter? (VBNMW means Vote Blue No Matter What)
By: Diane Benjamin The Illinois People’s Action website only shows two staff – Don Carlson and Dawn Dannenbring: http://www.illinoispeoplesaction.org/our-staff.html They are married to each other. IPA members are not afraid to call themselves Democratic Socialists. Socialism has never worked anywhere, here is the proof it doesn’t even work for the locals: That is a screen […]
By: Diane Benjamin Do you choose Freedom and Liberty or Socialism? Jenn’s day job is selling socialism. If her side wins history proves people will die. Socialism has never worked and never will! Jenn narrated this video. Yes it has a lot of truth, but her solution will destroy America. If you don’t understand what […]
By: Diane Benjamin Received by FOIA. The local radicals didn’t ask for assistance, they DEMANDED it. They have attempted to beat local elected officials into compliance with sheer volumes of insistence. As reported last night, help for people hurt by the government shutdown of the economy is already available: https://blnnews.com/2020/04/14/facts-matter-socialists-another-jenn-fail/ Bloomington elected two socialists and […]
By: Diane Benjamin Last night – Note who was the featured guest: If you want to see the demands: https://docs.google.com/document/ Radicals always want to grow government using your money. Maybe Tari can fill citizens in at tonight’s rescheduled meeting. I wonder if he made it clear some of their demands are illegal. The radicals aren’t […]
By: Diane Benjamin Remember this Bernie shirt: I wonder if wind is “Just and Clean Energy”? Does “Just” mean it’s free for some people? That sure won’t be wind since it costs more to make electricity than coal and natural gas. But is wind “Clean Energy”? NOPE I wonder if the local socialists know what […]
By: Diane Benjamin None of the below is even possible, but Bernie Sanders supporters are working hard to win the nomination. Why does this matter? Look closer. Bloomington elected 2 people who think the above is possible. Congrats Bloomington. Aldermen Carrillo and Crabill are active socialists. The other 7 Council members need to stand united […]
By: Diane Benjamin Democrats think they are so smart they need to run your life for you! Of course that takes away your God-given right to run your own life. Here’s a little of what bills have been presented by Democrats in Springfield: Ban gas powered leaf blowers Ban you from pumping your own gas […]
By: Diane Benjamin 1:36:15 – Tim Gleason reports he held a retreat with around 40 department leaders. The theme was: Servant Leadership. Ever heard that from anyone with the City before? I believe Tim Gleason really believes this. Nice. Public Comment at the Bloomington City Council meeting started at 16:00 and received a 20 minute […]
By: Diane Benjamin If you didn’t attend the showing of “Scramble the SeaWolves” last night at the Normal Theater, you missed a great movie. It told the story of Navy helicopter crews who provided defense in Vietnam. Didn’t know the Navy had helicopters? Until this movie most people didn’t. The SeaWolves formed out of need […]
By: Diane Benjamin Chris Koos must have taken his defeat Tuesday harder than he’s publicly saying. Two new Trustees that have called out the “Plan” to buy people to move Uptown will be seated May 1. Chris claimed he doesn’t take it as a rebuke of Town policies. It was of course, but dictator types […]
By: Diane Benjamin See this previous story: https://blnnews.com/2019/02/22/will-bloomington-elect-socialists/ If you didn’t think the Normal Town Council is already socialist – it could get worse. I really appreciate socialist Sonny Garcia posting on social media which candidates fit that plan: He listed the candidates voters need to avoid: Alex Campbell, Joel Studebaker, and Pat Turner. The […]
By: Diane Benjamin Democrats have lost their minds: High school kids will never have a job again. Businesses aren’t going to pay $15 an hour to a kid who has never worked before. They have to be trained to show up on time and actually work the entire time they are clocked in for. They […]
By: Diane Benjamin The first day petitions for the City Council could be circulated was August 28th. That’s almost 3 months ago. Amelia Buragas finally decided on the final day that she wasn’t running again. She probably notified Tari a few days ago which led to a frantic attempt to get signatures for a candidate […]
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 Remember when Tari thought he was going to be attacked at his Open House and sent out a call for help? Note the name – David Parker is running for McLean County Board District 9. David Parker is another Biss for Governor- supporter. You remember Biss – the guy who picked a […]
by: Diane Benjamin Does everybody know who Rep. Jan Schakowsky is? Search the Internet. She is a confirmed Socialist and member of Democratic Socialists of America. Contrary to what is taught in schools today, socialism is not a social group or club. Socialism means government is smarter than you, government controls everything, government must make all […]
Hitler wasn’t just a Nazi, his party was the National Socialist Party! http://www.history.com/topics/nazi-party Millions died under Hitler, do some research – socialism has a long history of killing people who don’t agree with them. Now the Socialist are out in the open here in our county. The extremist aren’t on the right! Hitler was elected […]
WRITTEN BY YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENT The person who wrote this is a college student. Perhaps there is hope for us after all. Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950’s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this […]
By Craig Andresen on October 3, 2012 at 7:12 am Domestic Policy. That’s the topic of tonight’s first debate between the contenders for the presidency. Domestic Policy. Obama will be spinning faster than the centrifuges in Iran. He’s tried NOT to talk about Domestic Policy as the economy continues to drag itself along, barely alive. […]
by Diane Benjamin The present Congress will NEVER get along – here’s why: Click this link: Progressive Caucus This page was printed from the DSAUSA website – see the right top corner. What is DSAUSA? Democratic Socialists of America! It lists all the members of Congress who were members of DSAUSA-the list is from the […]
