And Cook County Commissioner Sean Morrison called recent comments by Pritzker and Johnson “divisive, inflammatory and reckless.” The Illinois Republican Party, meanwhile, is selling merchandise pegged off the immigration enforcement raids. One hat reads: “Chicago ICE Word To Your Mother.”

DAILY HERALD
— State lawmaker Terra Costa Howard to become DuPage County judge
https://www.dailyherald.com/20250923/news/state-lawmaker-howard-to-become-dupage-county-judge/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: State Rep. Terra Costa Howard is giving up her seat in the state House to become a DuPage County Circuit Court judge. The Illinois Supreme Court announced Tuesday it is appointing Howard as resident circuit judge, effective Oct. 17. Her term will end Dec. 7, 2026. She fills a vacancy left by the retirement of Judge Paul Fullerton. Howard, a Glen Ellyn Democrat, has served as a state representative since 2019, first for the 48th District and then the 42nd District. A spokesman confirmed Costa Howard is resigning, but said a date has not been set. Costa Howard has had a solo law practice since 2003. Before that, she worked in the DuPage County public defender’s office and as a staff attorney for the DuPage court. “From my first days of working in the Chief Judge’s office and the DuPage County Public Defender’s office, to my current role as State Representative, I have worked to serve the people of DuPage County,” Costa Howard said in a news release from the Illinois Supreme Court. “I believe that every step of my career has led me toward this new challenge, and I look forward to the prospect of bringing my experience — in law and in life — to the bench.” The state constitution prohibits . judges from holding elected office.)

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.

OAK PARK
— Marijuana and traffic. Oak Park today, your municipality tomorrow.
https://www.oakpark.com/2025/09/23/marijuana-and-traffic/
(FROM THE LETTER: Oak Park residents are facing growing public safety concerns, and the situation seems to be worsening. At the intersection of Taylor and Adams, few vehicles comes to a full stop at crosswalks — just one example of how traffic laws are being routinely ignored. This puts pedestrians at serious risk, and it’s not an isolated issue. Another concern is the frequent smell of marijuana on Oak Park streets, especially from passing vehicles. While recreational cannabis is legal in Illinois, the pervasive odor — often near schools, parks, and residential areas — has become a public nuisance and, at times, a health issue. Yet Democratic leadership has shown little interest in addressing the unintended consequences of legalization. Compounding these problems is the rise in uninsured motorists. A friend of mine was recently rear-ended by an uninsured driver whose car smelled strongly of marijuana. Beyond the financial burden, the incident highlighted the danger of impaired, unaccountable drivers. The Illinois Supreme Court’s 2024 People v. Redmond decision, which ruled that the smell of cannabis alone does not justify legal action, has made it even harder for law enforcement to respond effectively.)

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/22/president-donald-trumps-doj-argues-against-gun-ban-signed-by-gov-jb-pritzker-after-highland-park-shooting/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Trump’s Department of Justice weighed in Monday against the ban on high-powered firearms that Illinois and Pritzker passed after the Highland Park Fourth of July mass shooting in 2022 but found itself on the defensive as an appellate court justice grilled an assistant attorney general about whether “facts matter” as she tried to justify the administration’s position. In arguing before the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, Harmeet Dhillon, the U.S. Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for civil rights, said the nation has a “strong interest” in ensuring that the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms is “not relegated to a second-class right” and criticized claims from state officials that certain guns covered by the ban are suited more for military operations than routine self-defense. But Judge Frank Easterbrook interrupted Dhillon early during the five minutes the court allowed her to speak even though the federal government is not a party to the case. Easterbrook noted the legal challenge from state officials resulted from a ruling by a district court in southern Illinois that determined the ban was unconstitutional, while a court in northern Illinois previously ruled a similar ban was legally sound. “Suppose the (southern Illinois) district court had found every contested issue of fact in favor of the state. Would that affect your review of the statute’s constitutionality?” asked Easterbrook, who was appointed to the bench in the 1980s by Republican President Ronald Reagan.)

— Far too many become political activists to promote their own personal interests. Far too many become leaders in Republican organizations to kill planks in the Republican Party platform that they reject. It all comes out in the wash. As time goes on, it is more and more and more obvious which planks in the Republican Party platform that my critics/opponents who led/lead the Illinois Republican Party (IRP), DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) reject. Most commonly, they reject the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. As time goes on, because I promote the aforesaid planks, it becomes more and more and more obvious that my critics/opponents had their operatives and their dupes a) remove me from the IRP State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024, b) end my service as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) gerrymander my precinct in 2015, d) end my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, e) end my MTRO webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, f) end my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, g) almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, and h) defeat my bid to serve as MTRO Treasurer in 2004. My critics/opponents destroy those like me a) who they cannot manipulate or dominate, b) who refuse to glorify and praise them, c) who refuse to pander to them, d) who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, e) who refuse to cover up their wrongdoing, and/or f) who refuse to give them money. I should write about my critics/opponents who are still in the mix, who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me, and the planks that they reject and why. Equal opportunity is the plank that they most commonly reject. – Dave Diersen

THE HILL
— Charlie Kirk’s murder could become another Fort Sumter. Democrat leaders have declared a Second Civil War against Republicans. Democrat leaders ever-increasingly recruit those who are the following to be soldiers in their army: liberals, moderates, citizens of foreign countries, minorities, females, younger people, those who have less money than others, LGBTQers, non-Protestants, non-German Americans, and those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. If/when Democrats start shooting Republicans, Democrats are going to lose. Republicans own a tremendous amount of firearms and ammunition.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/us/charlie-kirk-christian-faith-politics.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Charlie Kirk was 18 in the summer of 2012 when he walked into a Starbucks in the suburbs of Chicago and plopped his backpack on the floor. He had recently graduated from high school and was sorting out his future after being rejected from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He had come to meet a local Illinois group, Patriots United, focused on issues like lower taxes and choice in school education during the Tea Party era. Maida Korte, 71, a leader of the group, recalled that the conversation turned to their shared foundational Christian values, as it often did with him. “He never thought of it as, ‘I’m going to go into the spiritual arena and talk about political things,’” she said. “He was, ‘I want to talk about spiritual things, and in order to do that, I have to enter the political arena.’”)

WASHINGTON POST
— Kirk’s memorial was an emblem of the Trump era — and a sign of what’s ahead. The event showed how the line that used to separate religion and politics may no longer exist, particularly on the right. I should write about my critics/opponents who are anti-Protestant if not Protestant-haters. I would focus on those who hate Missouri Synod Lutherans (MSL). My parents had me baptized as a MSL in 1948, raised me as a MSL, and had me confirmed as a MSL in 1962. All my ancestors were MSLs.

— Washington DC is a young city, where much of the work of running the federal government is done by recent college graduates scarcely old enough to rent a car. And this city’s young conservatives, Gen Zers who can hardly remember a Republican Party before President Donald Trump, came of age with Charlie Kirk. In the aftermath of the conservative star’s death at 31, they’re preparing themselves to fight Kirk’s battles for years to come. One could compare and contrast today’s Washington DC with Chicago. Chicago has always been run by Republican-haters.

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.)

HARVARD
— Meritocracy According to my critics/opponents, I owe none of my successes in life to meritocracy. According to them, I owe all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who are liberal/moderate, non-Republican, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. In my defense, neither of my parents attended college, my father was only the first of my ancestors to earn a high school diploma, my mother never attended high school, and I had to work my way through college.

The more that people despise/hate conservatives, the more that they oppose Kirk events. How strong is the opposition to Kirk events in your county, township, municipality, school district, precinct, neighborhood, and street? What Kirk events have the leaders of your township and county Republican organizations and the leaders of the Illinois Republican Party held and/or scheduled? If I was still the chairman of TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, the organization would host a Kirk event and I would invite all those who knew Kirk to speak at it. If I was still on the Steering Committee of the Illinois Center Right Coalition, I would urge that organization to host a similar event.

Because of that, they ever-increasingly took more and bigger adverse actions against me.

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.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: He had been planning an attack for a week. He used a weapon he described as “grandpa’s rifle.” And after shooting and killing conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, he messaged his roommate, with whom he was in a romantic relationship, according to court documents. 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.)
