The more anti-conservative that you are, the more that you oppose Kirk tributes.
QUESTION: What message did Kirk’s assassin send? ANSWER: The more conservative principles that you promote, the more planks in the Republican Party platform that you promote, the sooner that you will be gotten rid of.
Hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters want to use Kirk’s assassination to get rid of conservatives once and for all.
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.)

— ICE receives more than 150K job applications as Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration continues. In my defense, I never applied to be an IRS Revenue Officer. IRS offered me that job because I had passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination and I had earned a bachelor’s degree in business. I took that job because I had to have a job. My Firestone Store boss had rudely fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer because it had just agreed to store hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. I had to have a job because I was helping support my mother and brother. I should write about my critics/opponents who have used my having been an IRS Revenue Officer for almost 9 years against me the most since 1971.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: Once these recruits couldn’t make the cut. Now they make up a quarter of Army troops. Since I was 18 years old in 1966, my critics/opponents have always stressed a) that I was 1-A for the Vietnam War draft and b) that I avoided the Vietnam War draft with student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial hardship draft deferment 1970-1971. They ignore/dismiss that I could not run because I had a bone disease, that my eyesight could not be corrected to 20/20, and that I had partial red/green color blindness. Worse yet, according to them, my aforesaid health problems prove that I am an unpatriotic hypocritical coward because I would not have been sent into combat. My Democrat Post Office, Firestone Store, IRS, and GAO superiors used my avoiding the Vietnam War draft against me the most. I should write about them. They blamed Republicans for America losing the Vietnam War. Of course, further, they have always stressed that if I had not avoided the Vietnam War draft, I would not have been able to a) earn a bachelor’s degree when I was 21 and master’s degrees when I was 27 and 31, b) buy new cars when I was 19, 20, 23, 25, and 29, c) buy real estate when I was 24, 25, 27, 29, and 35, and d) get married when I was 29.

— Charlie Kirk’s casket arrives in Arizona aboard Air Force Two
https://www.1news.co.nz/2025/09/12/charlie-kirks-casket-arrives-in-arizona-aboard-air-force-two/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Charlie Kirk’s casket arrived in his home state of Arizona aboard Air Force Two on Thursday as Vice President JD Vance honored the conservative activist with a final flight. Vance’s wife, Usha, stepped off the plane with Kirk’s widow, Erika. Both women wore black and sunglasses. The vice president was a few steps behind in a dark suit. Air Force Two arrived in Phoenix after a short flight from Salt Lake City, about 64km from Orem, Utah, where Kirk was assassinated while speaking at Utah Valley University. Vance helped carry Kirk’s casket with a group of uniformed service members as it was loaded onto the plane. On Wednesday night, Vance wrote on social media that his relationship with Vance began several years ago after he appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox News. Kirk reached out to compliment him, “and that moment of kindness began a friendship” Last year, Kirk advocated for Vance to be Donald Trump’s choice for vice president and frequently checked in on his family. Vance described him as “a true friend”. Kirk was co-founder and CEO of the conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, based in Phoenix.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Charlie Kirk’s wife held up a rosary to supporters after she arrived in Arizona following the shooting of her husband in Utah. Erika Kirk was seen departing Air Force Two in Phoenix on Thursday, accompanied by Vice President JD Vance and his wife Usha. Kirk’s casket was transported on the government plane from Utah to Arizona, where his funeral will be held. Kirk, 31, was fatally shot in the neck on Wednesday in front of thousands of people during an event outside the Utah Valley University campus in Orem. He collapsed and was later pronounced dead in hospital. The FBI has released footage of a suspect fleeing from a rooftop following the shooting, before jumping to the ground and escaping on foot. Authorities previously released two images of a suspect wearing dark clothing, sunglasses and a baseball cap. The person of interest’s identity has not been released.)

DAILY SIGNAL
— Conservatives in Blue States: Realistically, What Can They Get Done? I am one of the few remaining conservative activists remaining in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I have served as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. I served as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks 2005-2021. I served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012. I served as the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2008-2010 and 2000-2004. I served as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007. I arranged for an elephant to walk behind Congressman Peter Roskam in Wheaton’s 2007’s Independence Day parade. Democrat and RINO leaders have had tremendous success using their operatives and their dupes a) to drive conservatives out of Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois and b) to take adverse actions against me. I should write about RINO leaders..
https://www.dailysignal.com/2025/09/10/conservatives-blue-states-what-can-they-get-done/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Despite Republicans lacking control of the levers of power in Illinois, the Illinois Freedom Caucus is a fierce group. State Rep. Chris Miller, the husband of the U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., whose Southern Illinois district overlaps with his, is the chairman of the caucus and has few kind words for Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker. “He’s got the worst case of Trump Derangement Syndrome I think that I’ve ever seen exhibited, and the only thing is going to fix this thing is for him to have an ICR,” Chris Miller told The Daily Signal. “I don’t know if you know what that is or not, but it’s an inter-cranial rectal removal. In other words, what we would say down on the farm is, he needs to get his head out of his a– and start governing and doing what’s right for the people of Illinois.” As in Maryland, Illinois Freedom Caucus members are keenly focused on messaging what they view as failures of the Democrat-dominated state government. Illinois Republican state Rep. Blaine Wilhour told The Daily Signal that spreading the word about Democrat policies and Republican shortcomings is at the center of his work. “It’s all about accountability. We’re governed terribly, led by Republicans as well that don’t stand up for our values,” said Wilhour, adding: When conservatives don’t push back on terrible policies that inflict harm, both socially and economically, then that window moves all the time. And that’s what happens in states like Illinois. That’s how you get governed so liberally in states that aren’t crazy and liberal like that. It’s because good Republicans, good conservatives don’t push back. He accused members of his own party of not sufficiently standing up to the Democrats, saying, “We got Republicans in Illinois that think it’s all right to vote for tax increases, both on the income side and on the gas tax side. They vote for Big Government, which is increasing property taxes exponentially … . These people need accountability.” Roth praised the work of these blue state Freedom Caucus members, saying that some blue state Republicans “know that they have no power, so they are willing to take the crumbs that the Democrats give them. So, if Maryland or Illinois passed a huge, irresponsible budget, they won’t make a lot of noise about it.” Freedom Caucus members, Roth said, “will not only vote no, but they’ll tell everybody that they’re doing it to the point where those non-Freedom Caucus members are getting calls from their voters … . So, not only are we fighting the Democrats, but we’re exposing weak-kneed Republicans.”)

— Navy reverses demotion of Rep. Ronny Jackson, former White House doctor under Trump and Obama. The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980 forced me to take a demotion from GS-12 Step 5, currently $112,280/year, to GS-9 Step 10, currently $88,808/year, a 21% pay cut, to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat GAO superiors used that demotion to justify their wasting my career and forcing me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write about that. GAO audits IRS. When I transferred, I had worked for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, b) I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and d) I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. Much of what I did for IRS was very similar to what I did for GAO.

The crowd has gotten bigger and the politicians — a campaigning George W. Bush one year — come and go, he said. . .It’s a surprise that so few labor groups show up, a far cry from the union-dominated festivities held in Chicago, he noted.)

But during that time, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in1970. I earned an MBA in 1976. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. And I almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting. I was a union member while I worked for the Democrats who ran the Post Office 1966-1969. I might still be a postal employee if they had disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and 1969 and forced me to resign in 1969. I was a union member while I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980. I might still be an IRS employee if they had disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and my education deductions in 1978 and refused to promote me beyond GS-12. I should write about my critics/opponents.

To get rid of me, my Democrat GAO superiors kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They purposely wasted what I had learned about IRS working for IRS for almost 9 years, the last 5 1/2 years of which at the GS-12 Step 1-5 Levels, currently $99,069-$112,280/year. Democrats do not want Republicans to audit IRS.

It brings a lot of connections, a lot of opportunities. It’s like everybody gets a chance.” Narvaez, 17, of Englewood, is just one of many students enrolled in the Career & Technical Education program, a Chicago Public Schools initiative that provides students with career-focused experiential learning programs. On Thursday, Chance the Rapper visited the South Side high school to announce that his nonprofit, SocialWorks, would give $100,000 in grants to five Chicago schools to support career-focused programs over the next three years, which will include Simeon Career Academy’s barber and cosmetology program.)

They had kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them. They had forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS. All that my Democrat IRS superiors could use to justify their never promoting me beyond GS-12 was the adverse actions that they had taken against me.

They also hinted/implied it was a) because of Gingrich-led budget cuts, c) because they always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, d) because they delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, e) because they kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and e) because they forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS.
