Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Kirk defended and advanced the Republican Party platform. Your attitude toward Kirk shows your attitude toward not only conservative activists, but toward the Republican Party. Democrats and RINOs boycott Kirk events.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Oath Keepers’ founder Stewart Rhodes convicted as part of Jan. 6 riot to speak to GOP-tied group, creating conflict in Geneva. Ever-increasingly, my anti-conservative critics/opponents in the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party hinted/implied/argued/shouted that TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois (Traditions And Principles Republicans Often Overlook Today) was a hate group. They ever-increasingly hinted/implied/argued/shouted that TAPROOT caused Republican candidates in Illinois to lose elections. I served as TAPROOT’s chairman 2005-2012. TAPROOT held breakfast meetings the third Saturday of every month except August when it held a picnic and December when it held a Christmas party. I invited all the speakers for all of its 78 events 2005-2012. I should list all those who spoke at TAPROOT events 2005-2012. Almost all of them were Republican candidates, elected officials, and/or party leaders. My critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes destroy TAPROOT in 2012.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/22/geneva-oath-keepers-stewart-rhodes/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rhodes’ event is part of a series of talks, titled “Pints & Politics,” sponsored by the Geneva-based Three Headed Eagle Alliance, a group headed by Debbie Kanarowski, a member of the Illinois GOP State Central Committee. In heavily blue Illinois, where every statewide officeholder is a Democrat, the state’s Republican Party has continued to shift to the right, and segments of the party leadership have highlighted its more conservative voices. Others who have participated in the “Pints & Politics” series include state lawmakers from the conservative Illinois Freedom Caucus and Ted Dabrowski, the conservative activist and former president of research outfit Wirepoints who is running in the GOP primary for governor.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE (FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD IN NAPERVILLE SUN)
— Naperville councilman Josh McBroom wants Naper Pride Fest funding ended in wake of Kirk posts. TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois and Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) never sought government funding or got government funding. I served as the TAPROOT chairman 2005-2012 and as an ICRC officer 2003-2007. Naper Pride promotes liberal principles. TAPROOT and ICRC promoted conservative principles.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/20/naperville-councilman-mcbroom-pride-funding-kirk-seca/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Naperville City Councilman Josh McBroom is demanding LGBTQ+-focused Naper Pride apologize for recent “political” social media posts or he will vote against future city funding for the nonprofit. . .In the wake of his death, Naper Pride shared a Facebook post on Sept. 15 that featured a comment from the Rev. Howard John-Wesley, pastor of Alfred Street Baptist Church in Alexandria, Virginia, in which he said: “There is nowhere in the Bible where we are taught to honor evil and how you die does not redeem how you lived. You don’t become a hero in death when you are a weapon of the enemy in life.” In response to that message, McBroom put up his own Facebook post in which he discussed funding provided to organizations through Naperville’s Special Events & Community Arts (SECA) Commission and stated that groups that engage in political advocacy “should not be subsidized with tax dollars.” According to city documents, the group this year was allocated $5,219 for city services and $21,100 to help cover the cost of operations for Pride Fest, which was held Sept. 13 at Naper Settlement. Naper Pride, in its response to McBroom’s post, posted a follow-up statement in which they said they “do not advocate for violence against anyone” and that everyone “has the right to free speech, but nobody has the right to force anyone else to listen.” The organization also shut down the comments section on its post after receiving a flurry of negative messages. They also noted that Kirk, whose name was later removed from the post, had “advocated for violence against LGBTQ individuals,” including once saying he believed gay people be stoned to death, a point that was widely circulated but has since been clarified. “You’d have to (be) completely tone deaf to not understand that there would be complex feelings around this, everyone is different,” the message said. At Tuesday’s city council meeting, McBroom — former vice president of the anti-LGBTQ+ group Awake Illinois — doubled-down on his belief that Naper Pride took a political stance and should not receive future city funding without an apology or retraction. He posted a clip of his comments from the city council meeting on social media Wednesday: “The posts they put out there suggested that Charlie Kirk was evil, that his followers were the enemy,” McBroom said. “They continued and made a false claim that Charlie Kirk and by extension his followers advocated the stoning or murdering of LGBTQ communities.” McBroom also emphasized in his Wednesday post that while Naper Pride’s comments may fall under protected speech, he believes that protection does not “override responsibility” when it comes to receiving city funds. On Friday, in another social media post, he further stressed it was not a freedom of speech issue. “While I believe this rhetoric is dangerously reckless, particularly to our community youth who were Charlie fans, I still defend their right to say it,” McBroom wrote. “But when they are being funded with OUR money, I believe the tax payers have a right to demand a retraction and apology or end this subsidy entirely.” However, there is nothing in rules governing the awarding of SECA money that states that funding recipients must refrain from political advocacy or making political statements. Despite McBroom’s statement that freedom of speech does not factor into his position, it could easily be seen as such, said Ed Yohnka, a spokesman for the American Civil Liberties Union. “What we’re seeing right now and what’s really precarious is we’re seeing people attempting to use the power of the government to punish people for their speech, and oft times that attempted punishment is not really reflective of the speech itself but is, in fact, simply reflective of a political view of some government official,” Yohnka said. “To be sure, the council member can vote or not vote,” Yohnka said. “To condition it on them changing their speech is, in some ways, the thing that really is antithetical to our constitutional system.” The freedom of speech issue came into the forefront this past week with the announcement that the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” late night TV show was being put on indefinite hiatus following a joke the comedian made in reference to Kirk and President Trump’s MAGA followers. The move by ABC had the backing of FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who said other such actions may follow. When interviewed on Friday, McBroom said Naper Pride is free to say whatever its wants, but that doesn’t mean the city has to support them financially. He’d like to see the city reexamine its rules for SECA funding, he said. “As far as like a chilling effect on individuals and how they act in the community, maybe that’s not a bad thing,” McBroom said. “If we’re going to continue giving out all these city grants, I think these organizations need to be very careful that they don’t get political and they don’t engage in divisive type of rhetoric and they stay out of the local political process.” A representative from Naper Pride reiterated to the Naperville Sun that its posts were not made with an intent to be divisive or to advocate for violence but to address the situation from the perspective of the LGBTQ+ community. “So many people objecting to the statement are taking it as we are calling them the enemy,” the representative said. “We’re not pointing a finger at anybody, not Mr. Kirk’ followers, not anybody. It’s just a statement of emotion made by that pastor in the moment and it sums up how many people feel when you have an individual that’s so polarizing, as Mr. Kirk was.”)

NEW YORK POST
— How to attend Charlie Kirk’s funeral in Arizona
https://nypost.com/2025/09/17/us-news/how-to-attend-charlie-kirks-funeral-in-arizona/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kirk’s funeral, an American-themed celebration with a red, white and blue dress code, will be held at the State Farm Stadium, home of the Arizona Cardinals, in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday. Doors are set to open at 8 a.m. local time, but the program itself won’t begin until 11 a.m., according to the funeral website: https://www.fightforcharlie.com/ How to attend the memorial service Attendance is free, but fans should register online to get a ticket in order to attend, according to the website. Organizers encouraged fans of Kirk to arrive early and carpool if possible. They noted that admission inside the stadium will be on a “first come, first served” basis, but that overflow will be available at the nearby Desert Diamond Arena. The State Farm Stadium typically holds a whopping 63,400 people, but can stretch to accommodate more than 73,000 for larger events, according to the venue. The Desert Diamond Arena, which is less than a mile away from the megadome, can fit around 20,000 people. Organizers said further event guidance and instructions will be sent to attendees the evening before the service. How to watch the memorial service Beyond the stadiums, mourners near and far will be able to watch the funeral live online through multiple news networks, including many Fox and CBS affiliates. It will also likely be streamed by Turning Point USA, given that the organization has livestreamed previous memorial services for its founder. What to expect Security will be tight between both stadiums. The speakers set to deliver remarks feature a laundry list of White House officials, including President Trump and Vice President Vance, who was a close friend of Kirk. Kirk’s widow, Erika, will also deliver remarks. Just yesterday, a pre-trial protective order was filed on her behalf while her husband’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, is behind bars. The rest of the speakers primarily come from the Trump Administration’s cabinet, including Secretary of Health and Human Services RFK Jr. and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, who both spoke at Kirk’s memorial at the Kennedy Center. Fox News alums Tucker Carlson, who organized a fundraiser for the Kirk family through his nicotine pouch company, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth will also speak at the funeral.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURES: A debate reflective of the country’s political divide is unfolding at Wheeling High School, where groups are clashing over efforts to honor slain political firebrand Charlie Kirk, arguably its most famous graduate. Students, parents and community members have begun signing dueling petitions on how to best memorialize Kirk. What positions do the students in the high schools and colleges in your area have on Kirk?
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/18/charlie-kirk-honored/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A day after the petition appeared on Change.org, an opposing appeal was launched. It expressed condolences to Kirk’s family, then called his legacy “divisive, not unifying,” and said Turning Point chapters would not be “educationally neutral.” It also said a “day of honor” would be “divisive and inappropriate.” “While his achievements are notable to some, honoring him at this level would send a message to many students, families, and staff — especially those who have been targeted or alienated by Kirk’s rhetoric — that their concerns and lived experiences are secondary,” the petition said. As of Wednesday afternoon, the pro-Kirk petition had about 3,600 signatures and its opposition had 2,600. . .According to Change.org, the opposing petition was started by a person named “April Mahoney.” Efforts to reach Mahoney were not successful.

https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/09/17/the-lefts-cancel-culture-frankenstein-turns-on-it-after-charlie-kirks-death/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: We’ve had a culture of about five years of what I would call cancel culture, deplatforming, doxing, blacklisting, using all sorts of methods to suppress free speech. That was one of the reasons why Elon Musk paid such an exorbitant sum for the old Twitter: to allow free speech. And cancel culture said that if you voice something that was considered illiberal, you were gonna lose your job. We saw that through #MeToo, when a number of Hollywood luminaries and professors were fired because they had said or done something considered sexist or ill-advised. We saw that on matters of race after George Floyd. But what’s happened now is the death of Charlie Kirk has kind of turned the tables. People who are using that death to comment in criticism of him before he is even buried are now facing, not censorship, but certain platforms, media platforms especially, are saying, “We just don’t want you to be here anymore. It’s not that we don’t like you. We’re not trying to censor you. We’re just giving you the Joy Reid treatment.”)

Told to look under a keyboard, Tyler Robinson’s roommate discovered a note reading, “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.” “You weren’t the one who did it right????” the roommate asked. “I am, I’m sorry,” Robinson replied.)

— Kirk’s Home State of Illinois Honors Him at Vigils Drawing Hundreds
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2025/09/13/charlie-kirks-home-state-of-illinois-honors-him-at-vigils-drawing-hundreds/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: At Illinois State University, where Kirk spoke on April 8 as part of his “American Comeback Tour,” students and supporters placed a memorial on campus at the very spot where he addressed the crowd earlier this year. The tribute included flowers, handwritten notes, American flags, and a Bible open in homage. Nearly a hundred came together at the ISU quad flagpole for a prayer service that included Christian worship songs. The Hanover Township Republicans hosted another service, drawing hundreds who lit candles, prayed, and shared memories of Kirk. In Lemont, where Kirk founded Turning Point USA more than a decade ago, several hundred attendees turned out for a candlelight remembrance led in prayer, with participants singing the national anthem and holding handmade signs reading ‘You will be missed’ and ‘Your legacy will live on.’ Mourners also placed flowers, flags, and photos outside the site of his first office in the town. The ceremonies in Illinois follow a series of memorials held nationwide and abroad after Kirk, 31, was assassinated on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University before an audience of about 3,000. Law enforcement arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson in connection with the shooting. Communities overseas also honored his life. Hundreds of mourners assembled Friday evening in central London, where Turning Point UK organized a vigil featuring U.S. flags, the Christian hymn Amazing Grace, and candlelight in Parliament Square. Tributes were also reported in Berlin, Madrid, Paris, and Vienna, with Poland’s parliament holding a moment of silence at the request of the Law and Justice party. In the United States, sports teams and institutions held dedications, including moments of silence by the New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, the NFL, and the Kennedy Center. Trump ordered American flags flown at half-staff until Sunday evening and announced that Kirk would be posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. A memorial service is scheduled for Sunday, September 21, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, which seats more than 63,000. Kirk is survived by his wife, Erika, and their two children.)

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/09/13/who-is-erika-kirk-wife-of-charlie-kirk/86139481007/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Erika Lane Kirk, 36, had been married to Charlie Kirk since 2021. They wed on May 8 during a ceremony in Scottsdale, Arizona. Before marrying Kirk, the former Erika Frantzve won Miss Arizona USA in 2012. She received her Juris Master’s from Liberty University School of Law in 2019. She also earned her undergraduate degree in Political Science and International Relations at Arizona State University. She also played college basketball at Regis University in Denver. . .Erika Kirk is the CEO and founder of a nonprofit (Everyday Heroes Like You), a ministry project (BIBLEin365) that her bio says “seeks to help individuals engage with the scriptures daily,” and a faith-based clothing brand (PROCLAIM). She’s also the host of the “Midweek Rise Up” podcast, which she describes as a “devotional series focused on Biblical leadership and empowering others to lead with integrity and purpose.” Erika and Charlie Kirk met in 2018 and the two had a “very long dinner,” the conservative activist says in a video shared on Turning Point’s YouTube page. In the same video, Kirk says he knew his wife was the one “immediately.”)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/12/ted-dabrowski-announces-run-illinois-governor/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Attending Dabrowski’s announcement and describing herself as helping the campaign was Jeanne Ives, a former state representative from Wheaton and an unsuccessful candidate for Congress in 2020 who also failed in a challenge for the 2018 GOP nomination for governor against Bruce Rauner. During that campaign, Ives ran a TV commercial that featured actors in various dress mocking Rauner by thanking him for legislation involving abortion, as well as transgender and immigration rights. Ives, a right-wing radio host, head of a conservative nonprofit and a member of the state GOP Central Committee, also is allied with Dan Proft of Naples, Florida, another right-wing radio host and political operative who has been an intermediary for millions of dollars in funding from national conservative megadonor Richard Uihlein of Lake Forest to local candidates. It was unclear if Uihlein, who founded the Uline packing and supply firm, would weigh in on the race for the GOP nomination.)

https://nypost.com/2025/09/13/us-news/charlie-kirks-alleged-assassin-tyler-robinson-deeply-indoctrinated-with-leftist-ideology/
— Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin Tyler Robinson lived with transgender partner
https://nypost.com/2025/09/13/us-news/charlie-kirk-shooter-tyler-robinson-lived-with-transgender-partner/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter Tyler Robinson was living with a transgender partner who was in the process of transitioning from a male to a female, a law enforcement source confirmed to The Post Saturday. That individual, who has yet to be identified by the authorities, is now fully cooperating with the FBI on its investigation into the fatal shooting of the conservative activist, the source added. The relationship was first reported by Fox News’ Brooke Singman. Text messages and other communications that the transgender individual traded with Robinson, 22, helped the feds nab the accused assassin. Federal and state authorities revealed during a Friday press conference that a “roommate” cooperating with their investigation revealed communications from a contact named “Tyler” that described bullet casings similar to those found at the scene and discussed the “need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point.“ Kirk, 31, was struck in the neck by a single bullet shortly after being posed a question on his “American Comeback” college speaking tour about transgender mass shooters. “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” asked attendee Hunter Kozak.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Federal agents were also seen outside Robinson’s family home in nearby Washington while a tow truck loaded up a dark gray Dodge Challenger that was parked outside the home, footage from CBS News showed. Police believe Robinson drove the muscle car to the college campus in Orem hours before allegedly firing a single, fatal shot at the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder, who was hosting a Q&A as part of his ” The American Comeback” tour.)

— Friends worried about Charlie Kirk’s safety
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/09/11/friends-worried-about-charlie-kirks-safety-00557077
(FROM THE ARTICLE: THE ASSASSINATION of Charlie Kirk — the Wheeling native who rose from Illinois politics to become one of Donald Trump’s closest conservative allies — is reverberating through the state’s political circles, with friends saying they had feared for his well-being. “Those of us who love and care about Charlie have been worried about his safety,” Illinois businessman Gary Rabine said in a text statement. Rabine was an early backer of Turning Point USA, which Kirk cofounded in 2012 to bring conservative ideas to college campuses. “I have watched him over the past 13 years become the greatest leader behind positive change in our college universities and our country,” said Rabine, who ran for governor in 2022. “Terrible tragedy,” said former Gov. Bruce Rauner, another early donor to Turning Point noting Kirk was part of his 2014 rise to Springfield. Rauner described the young activist as “bright, talented and charismatic.” What we know: Kirk, 31, was killed by a single gunshot during a speaking event at Utah Valley University in the conservative town of Orem, about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City. No one is yet in custody, according to The Associated Press. He leaves behind a wife and two young children. Congressman Darin LaHood, a Republican, called the murder “a heinous act of political violence that has become too common in our country. Charlie did not deserve to die because of his ideological views.” Though they rarely saw eye to eye, Gov. JB Pritzker condemned the shooting and drew a wider lesson. “We’ve seen other political violence occur in other states, and it’s got to stop. There are people who are fomenting it in this country,” Pritzker told reporters upon first hearing of the shooting. He pointed to Trump’s pardons of Jan. 6 protesters as having “tripped a new era of political violence.” Trump himself broke the news, posting on Truth Social: “The Great, and even Legendary, Charlie Kirk, is dead. No one understood or had the Heart of the Youth in the United States of America better than Charlie. He was loved and admired by ALL, especially me, and now, he is no longer with us. Melania and my Sympathies go out to his beautiful wife Erika, and family. Charlie, we love you!” Later, Trump signaled his anger, blaming the media and “radical left” in a video address from the Oval Office. Kirk got to know Trump while handling social media during his 2016 presidential. From there, he built a national profile as a sharp-tongued defender of the president and his MAGA movement — and a fixture on the conservative speaking circuit. But it was Illinois where Kirk got his political start. He worked on Rauner’s 2014 campaign for governor. In his book, Kirk wrote that he and Turning Point members “barnstormed the state and mobilized students in every county to help Bruce defeat the Chicago political machine.” Illinois GOP Chair Kathy Salvi issued a statement saying, “Charlie’s work for Republicans in Illinois and across the country was invaluable.” And the Illinois Freedom Caucus echoed that, adding, “We are devastated and horrified by the news.”)

— Left-wing social media ideologues celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk and say he ‘deserved’ to be shot
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15086259/Disgusting-comments-left-wing-lunatics-Charlie-Kirk.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Left-wing social media fanatics have celebrated influencer Charlie Kirk’s murder – with some comparing him to Adolf Hitler and even suggesting he ‘deserved’ his fate. Kirk, the chief executive and co-founder of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, was shot dead at an event at a Utah college yesterday. The killing of Donald Trump’s ally is the latest example of political violence in the US spanning a range of political ideologies and affecting both major political parties. But left-leaning ideologues made light of it, with one writing: ‘I’m not saying Charlie Kirk deserved to be shot, but I think enablers to pedophiles should be shot, too.’ Some TikTokers also reacted casually to Kirk’s death, with one mock crying while a dramatic song played, with the caption: ‘Charlie Kirk got s**t? Awwww.’ Another liberal posted: ‘Hitler giving Charlie Kirk a tour in hell’, adding a GIF from a TV show. Another called Kirk ‘a f***ing Nazi. And you know what kind of Nazi is the best Nazi? A dead one. Thank God that s***stain of a person is no longer in this world’. Others mocked Kirk’s steadfast commitment to open debate and exchange of ideas: ‘Why didn’t Charlie Kirk just debate the bullet? he would have easily deflected.’ Many unearthed clips of Mr. Kirk defending incidents of gun violence as ‘unfortunately’ worth maintaining the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution.)

— Court rules Lisa Cook can remain a Fed governor for now while fighting Trump’s attempt to fire her “for cause.” The judges and justices in Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) gave the Democrats who run the federal government the power to force their employees to retire, that is, the power to fire their employees, if they fight their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination like I did. Of course, my Democrat GAO. IRS, and Post Office superiors hinted/implied that they wasted my career, took adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire “for cause.” My Democrat GAO superiors a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and d) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

DUCKWORTH
— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote student loans. If I had gotten a student loan instead of working my way through college, my GPA would have been higher. That would have helped me get a better paying job when I graduated debt-free in 1970. I did not get a job that required a bachelor’s degree until 1971 and it paid only $55,850/year in today’s dollars. But my salary increased to $68,315/year, $82,655/year, and $99,069/year in today’s dollars when I got promoted in 1972, 1973, and 1974. That enabled me to a) buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, b) pay for graduate evening courses starting in 1972, c) buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, d) buy condos in downtown Chicago in 1974 and 1976, and e) get married and buy a home in Wheaton and buy two new cars in 1978.

— No wonder there is fear of a population crisis — young men and women are wildly out of sync on family values. What made you “marriage material?” When I got married when I was 29 years old in 1978, a) I was earning $108,978/year in today’s dollars working for IRS, b) I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul, d) I owned a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building, e) I owned and rented out a town home in University Park, and f) I owned a 1972 Corvette and a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air.

BIZ PC REVIEW
— Hyundai plant raid was a part of something much worse. Pooler today, your municipality tomorrow?
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2025/09/09/hyundai-plant-raid-was-a-part-of-something-much-worse-1583446/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A story published by the Wall Street Journal on Sunday revealed how the illegals were, in fact, part of a quickly growing community of South Koreans who’ve been taking over the Georgia suburb of Pooler. “The population shot up 22% between just 2020 and 2024, according to census estimates, to around 31,000,” the Journal noted. “Demographic data lags behind, but community leaders estimate half of that growth has come from Koreans. “Suddenly, the single Korean restaurant in town had to compete with around half a dozen others. The newly opened Costco, locals said, started carrying Kimchi, dried seaweed, and mandu dumplings. New homes sprang up by the dozens, and Korean families moved into planned neighborhoods with streets named Blue Moon Crossing and Harvest Hill,” the Journal’s reporting continued. Here’s the key: “Many of the newcomers worked at the factory.” As in the same factory where hundreds of Korean immigrants were found to have immigration violations last Friday, to the point that most of them were outright illegal aliens. Days later, on Sunday, the South Korean government announced it’d be repatriating most of the factory workers. Not every South Korean in the community is an illegal alien. The Journal noted that the legal ones were not happy with the illegal workers for bringing undue scrutiny on them. “We were doing great until that incident happened,” citizen Robin Kim said. “Now, there’s a risk that people will make assumptions or generalize unfairly.” . . . Zeigler told the Journal that 65 union members were hired by the factory for some brief work and then let go several months ago, only to be permanently replaced by the South Koreans. “We went out there and did a great job, no fatalities, no injuries, and then we just got replaced by the undocumented workers,” he said. “It was a kick in the knee.” Tori Branum, who’s reportedly running in a Republican primary for a Georgia congressional seat, questions the $5.5 billion manufacturing deal with Hyundai that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed in 2022. The deal purported to give Hyundai $2 million in tax breaks in exchange for an economic boost to Georgia’s Savannah region. “We gave tax cuts for jobs for Georgians that never happened,” she said. Critics say all this points to a system that is being unfairly used to benefit foreigners at the expense of American citizens. “Americans are being taxed to subsidize foreigners from all over the world moving directly into their own neighborhoods to compete for jobs with their children and grandchildren,” one critic tweeted. “Our ancestors fought a revolution over less.” “Americans have just been subsidizing a new foreign-born enclave in a red state, led by a foreign corporation and American politicians,” another critic accurately pointed out.)

— Judge blocks Trump’s bid to fire Lisa Cook from Federal Reserve board. Federal law gives Trump the power to fire members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors “for cause,” which typically means serious misconduct or malfeasance on the job. The judges and justices in Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) gave the Democrats who run the federal government the power to force their employees to retire, that is, the power to fire their employees, if they fight their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination like I did. Of course, my Democrat GAO. IRS, and Post Office superiors hinted/implied that they wasted my career, took adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire “for cause.” My Democrat GAO superiors a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and d) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.
