COD COURIER
— Political Post Sparks Local Controversy for Glen Ellyn Pizzeria Owner. The owner of Pie Life Pizzeria, Joe Smith, has faced backlash after he made a post following Charlie Kirk’s death, and a Republican organization has called attention to it.
https://codcourier.org/political-post-sparks-local-controversy-for-glen-ellyn-pizzeria-owner/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In the post, shared on Smith’s personal Facebook account within 24 hours of Kirk’s death, he wrote, “Play Nazi games, win Nazi prizes.” The comment quickly spread through social media after the Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) reposted it. A community member notified the Republican organization of this post, so they reposted a photo of Smith and his original post and wrote, “Everyone meet Joe. Joe owns ‘Pie Life Pizzeria’ on Roosevelt Rd. in Glen Ellyn. Joe has a lot of opinions and loves airing them on social media. Well, we want to make sure Joe gets his message out to the folks of Glen Ellyn so they know what he stands for. The post received dozens of reactions and comments from community members. Some called for others to stop supporting the restaurant, with one user writing, “Making this viral so all can boycott this guy,” and another asking, “So are there any other East Coast-style pizza places near Wheaton that at the very least keep their political opinions to themselves and make good pizza?” Smith has also stated that he has received voicemails leaving fake pizza orders followed by threatening messages. The Republican organization chairman, Jeff Castle, later described Smith’s comment as “extremely inappropriate and disgusting,” saying that any language which appears to justify, excuse or minimize political violence is wholly unacceptable in civil society. “The MTRO believes that community leaders and business owners have a responsibility to uphold higher standards, as their public remarks carry significant influence and reflect upon the values of the communities they serve,” Castle said. However, the group emphasized that it did not call for a boycott of Pie Life Pizzeria but rather wanted to inform.)

— FRONT PAGE: Northwestern students boycotting antibias training. DD: I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS 1971-1980 and GAO 1980-1997. They forced all their employees, including me, to take such “training.” All that training was designed to promote more hatred against Republicans, and especially against Republicans like me who were conservative, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had been in America for a long time.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/01/northwestern-university-students-boycott-bias-training/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Micol Bez has three weeks to make a choice. The Northwestern University graduate student has spent years studying political epistemology and abolitionism. Now, she is prepared to risk everything — her Ph.D. dissertation, her student status and her visa — in an act of protest she calls “a question of moral clarity.” Bez is part of a group of students boycotting Northwestern’s controversial antibias training video, which critics say conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism. Those who refuse to complete the online training will be unable to enroll in fall classes, the university said, which could jeopardize their academic standing if they miss the final course registration deadline. “I’m in a profound moral crisis,” said Bez, who is a member of the student group Northwestern Graduate Workers for Palestine. Her refusal to engage in the training, which makes it “impossible to structurally critique Israel, its policies, the apartheid and the ongoing genocide,” she said, is her taking a stand against Northwestern serving “misinformation to thousands of students.”)
— What a federal government shutdown means for Illinois. . .while government offices continue to stay open for their most important operations, so-called nonessential work is suspended, paychecks are not issued and many workers are furloughed until Congress approves a new funding plan. President Donald Trump has amped up the threats this time around, saying he plans to fire employees, rather than just furlough them, a move he says will hurt Democrats. DD: I was a federal worker in Chicago in 1971 and then 1973-1997. In 1971, I was one of the last Republicans who IRS hired. In 1980, I was one of the last Republicans who GAO hired. If I was still a federal worker, to punish Trump, my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates would have killed me by now, figuratively, if not literally.

DD: My critics/opponents have always demonized me, denigrated me, and condemned me as being grossly overpaid. While I was a NTEU member 1971-1980, my IRS salary increased from $55,850/year to $112,280/year in today’s dollars. In my defense, during that time, I earned an MBA from Loyola 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 from DePaul.

— Are the Rulers of Dearborn ‘American’?
https://townhall.com/columnists/scottmorefield/2025/09/29/are-the-rulers-of-dearborn-american-n2664092
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A video of an Islamic march featuring thousands of black and hijab-clad Muslims chanting “Allah” and a bunch of gibberish through the streets of Dearborn, Michigan that looks like it could have been filmed in any random Middle Eastern Muslim country went viral and drew outrage on X last week. The account that posted it included a call for Tom Homan’s ICE to deal with the problem by going in and deporting illegals. It’s a justifiable sentiment, but good luck with that. Shockingly, almost 60,000 of the approximately 105,000 residents of Dearborn are of Middle Eastern or North African ancestry. Almost all of those are Arab American Muslims. The problem for the poster, and for anyone else who thinks deporting illegals is the solution to what ails us, is that almost all of them are lawful citizens of the United States, a product of Arab immigration that began almost 100 ago and intensified by waves of refugee resettlements from decades of Middle Eastern conflicts caused in no small part, ironically, by American intervention overseas. Given the numbers, it should be no surprise to find the city run by Muslims. As conservative commentator Matt Walsh pointed out in another viral post: “The mayor of Dearborn, Michigan is Abdullah Hammoud. The guy running against him in the mayoral race is Nagi Almudhegi. The mayor’s chief of staff is Zaineb A. Hussein. The police chief is Issa Shahin. He oversees the commander of the patrol division, Madou Bazzi. The public health director is Ali Abazeed. Don’t forget city council members Kamal Alsawafy and Mustapha Hammoud.” If you are one of the tens of thousands of non-Muslim residents left in the city, you will still be greeted at 6 am in the morning and four other times throughout the day by the Muslim call to prayer broadcast on loudspeaker. For now at least you can complain, like this lady did, but the Muslim-run city council will tell you to pound sand. If you don’t like that a street was renamed after a Hezbollah terrorist, you will not only be told to pound sand, you will be called an Islamaphobe and told you aren’t welcome in the city you grew up in. Yes, technically the rulers of Dearborn are ‘American.’ They and most of their co-religionist voters have the citizenship and naturalization papers saying so, and thus are just as much a citizen of this country as you or me. But is this what the founders envisioned for the country they birthed through blood almost 250 years ago? If Thomas Jefferson could have looked into the future and seen Arabic flags and Islamic chants and hijab-clad women marching through an American street, would he have set things up differently? Trying to normalize a situation ordinary people rightly are disgusted by, ‘Republican’ pollster Frank Luntz embarrassingly quoted part of a letter penned by George Washington as proof that the founders wanted Muslims to, according to Luntz, “find welcome in America.” “If they are good workmen, they may be of Asia, Africa, or Europe,” Washington wrote. “They may be Mohammedans, Jews, or Christians of any sect, or they may be Atheists.” Luntz’s contention was easily ripped to shreds by anyone who bothered to post the entire letter, which was simply correspondence from Washington to a friend in Baltimore asking him to facilitate the purchase of some skilled labor that was purportedly on a ship headed there. Indeed, the idea that our founders – the ones who in 1790 when immigration policy was first discussed limited naturalization to only “free white persons” of “good moral character” who had lived in America for at least two years – would applaud the streets of Dearborn being overrun with chanting Muslims carrying Arabic flags is laughable on its face. On the contrary, if the dead could move they would be turning over in their graves. Still, the founders did recognize the need for immigration, and since 1790 there has been plenty of it. Interestingly, the massive waves from Europe that happened in the 1840s and the 1880s-1920s were opposed by nativists who argued that the Irish, the Germans, the Poles, and the Italians were going to ruin the country. In hindsight, it wasn’t really much of a concern though, because those people had enough in common with the original Anglo-Saxon stock to completely assimilate in a generation or two at most, which is exactly what happened. (We fought against Germany in two world wars, but have you heard anyone complain about ‘those damned Germans’ lately?) Leftists like to cite opposition to these European waves as evidence that conservatives are stupid to oppose the current non-white immigration from Third World hellholes we’re experiencing today, but, as Dearborn has proven, it’s apples and oranges. Extrapolate that over the next few decades at the immigration rate Democrats would have us endure and you’ll get hundreds if not thousands of places just like Dearborn, Michigan or Minneapolis, Minnesota, where Somalis have their own country within a country. The Great Replacement Theory isn’t just a theory, it’s a fact. Leftists hate white people and want them to become a minority in every place they are currently a majority. You may think race doesn’t or shouldn’t matter at all, but they certainly think it does. Now, I’m not in any way arguing for a white nationalist state or the removal or persecution of legal minorities. America should always include minority populations who assimilate, love this country, and want to contribute to its success. However, there is something to be said for an immigration policy, one similar to the one that helped America prosper right up to 1965, that keeps whites from becoming a minority in the country their ancestors founded. An immigration and naturalization policy that allowed Dearborn, Michigan to become what it is now is inherently flawed and should be scrapped and reworked from the ground up. The future of Western Civilization, the vehicle that gave the world most of the progress, freedom, and standard of living it enjoys today, absolutely depends on it.)

KENDALL COUNTY NOW
— Charlie Kirk memorial in Yorkville
https://www.shawlocal.com/kendall-county-now/2025/09/27/a-revival-born-charlie-kirk-memorial-in-yorkville-darren-bailey-campaigns-for-governor/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: With antisniper security on rooftops in downtown Yorkville for the Sept. 27 Charlie Kirk memorial, one speaker remarked it’s sad this is the current state of American political discourse. Organized by Kendall Action, a conservative fundraising PAC, the event was part sermon, “a revival born in Charlie Kirk’s name,” part rally, with Darren Bailey campaigning as a Republican candidate for governor. A unifying message shared by the crowd was that the Sept. 10 killing of Kirk by a sniper’s bullet took something personal away from each of them, something that touches their faith. “When we exchange ideas as a society, we win,” State Rep. Jed Davis, R-Newark, said to the crowd. “When you start to silence that opportunity, that God-given right the founders of this nation wrote into the Constitution, that we have the right to free speech, the right to have free and open dialogue, when that is silenced, the people lose.” Kicking off his election tour, Bailey, a former Republican state senator, called Kirk’s killing a tragic loss of “a great American treasure.” He brought up Abraham Lincoln’s prescient warning. “He warned that if we as America falter and lose our freedom, it won’t happen from outside our borders, but it will happen from within,” Bailey said during the rally. “We’ve got a governor who’s using all of this as rhetoric against us to make life more unsafe for us.” In an interview, Bailey was asked what can be done to tone down political violence. “We need to focus on the people that we’re electing, because we have to bring unity to this nation,” Bailey said. “We look for a stronger and different candidate to take that position, a leader who’s bold and courageous and desires unity instead of division.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: A GOP chairman was slammed as a “dork *** loser” after he criticized a gruesome political stunt that occurred at “Riot Fest” in Chicago. DuPage County, Illinois GOP Chairman Kevin Coyne went viral on Monday after criticizing a gruesome political stunt at “Riot Fest” in a now-deleted post to X. Riot Fest ’25 occurred on September 19 through September 21 at Douglass Park in the City of Chicago. According to The New York Post, during a performance by GWAR, a metal band that was first formed back in 1984, band members performed a mock beheading of Elon Musk, as well as a mock killing of President Donald J. Trump. While the band is known for its grotesque stunts, several social media users voiced criticism due to the political environment in the United States following the assassination of conversative activist Charlie Kirk. “That’s not edgy, it’s grotesque and reckless and normalizes violence against a real person. This is not okay. Riot Fest and GWAR crossed a major line,” a social media user wrote, per The Post. Screenshots of the now-deleted post appear to show that Coyne, who was in attendance at Riot Fest, wrote the following in reaction to GWAR’s stunt: “Riot Fest, it’s always so …. Interesting. Could’ve done without all the politics from the stage but it was fun nonetheless. Apparently we can’t even go to concerts now without the political divide being tossed in our faces. We’ll still go back but it was obnoxious.” The screenshot appears to show that Coyne’s post was seen more than 2.5 million times before being deleted. The message is followed by an @ to an apparent parody Riot Fest account, which boasts more than 95,000 followers. The Riot Fest parody account responded to Coyne’s criticism, writing the following, according to a screenshot: “Shut the (expletive) up you dork (expletive) loser. Seriously some of the softest dumbest people on the internet.” After being accused of “normalizing violence,” a GWAR representative issued the following statement to the publication: “Normalizing violence? Humans don’t need GWAR for that. There is nothing normal about the Looney Toon violence acted out on a GWAR stage. GWAR is absurdist spectacle. GWAR is to violence what the New York Post is to journalism. Ridiculous.” The Anonymous X account also chimed in on the discussion, writing the following: ““(Expletive) Elon Musk. Call the manager you (expletive) loser. It’s like you never heard of GWAR before you (expletive) p–y,” Riot Fest is a three-day festival that was first held in 2005, and is one of the largest independently-owned music festivals in the United States.)

https://dupagepolicyjournal.com/stories/675484139-protesters-removed-by-police-after-disrupting-charlie-kirk-prayer-rally-in-wheaton
https://x.com/DuPageCountyGOP/status/1972019256188641431
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Police removed a small group of protesters Sunday night who disrupted a prayer rally in Wheaton honoring the late conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The event drew about 1,500 attendees and was organized by local church leaders and Decision Point USA. The prayer rally took place under the French Market Pavilion in downtown Wheaton. Organizers said the event was held to pray for revival in the city, schools, churches, and the nation. “In this moment of grief and urgency, we believe God is our only hope,” a flyer from Decision Point USA said. “Together, we will lift our voices and ask Him to raise up courageous leaders, heal our land and pour out His Spirit on the next generation.” The meeting was organized by leaders from four churches in the Wheaton area who said they believe this time is an opportunity for community revival. The rally, structured around Christian worship and calls for unity, was briefly disrupted when several protesters, some masked and carrying signs, began shouting during a moment of prayer. “Bruha started by the few but noisy and disrespectful protestors during the prayer at the Wheaton Charlie Kirk Memorial tonight,” user Babette Holder said in a Facebook post. Wheaton police responded and escorted the protesters from the area. The rally continued as planned, ending with hymns “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus” and “In Christ Alone.” Photos from the event showed protesters holding signs with messages such as “Honoring Charlie Kirk = Honoring Racism, Bigotry, Misogyny” and “I do not support what happened to Charlie but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie.” One protester wore a shirt with “Palestine” printed on it, while another’s shirt displayed a profanity directed at President Donald Trump and his supporters. . .According to reports, the protesters were allegedly affiliated with Mutual Aid Dawning (MAD), a Glen Ellyn-based group formed during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in Chicago. Those protests involved widespread property damage and arrests. MAD’s website describes the group as “intergenerational, largely non-religious and queer with sexualities and genders across the spectrum.” The group identifies with anti-capitalist and anti-colonial ideologies. The website includes political education materials referencing historical figures, including Mao Zedong. Critics have noted Mao’s legacy includes responsibility for millions of deaths and ongoing repression in China. MAD describes the suburban communities where it organizes as “highly resourced yet highly unengaged,” and states its goal is to challenge perceived complicity in systems of oppression. Though the protesters were few in number, their presence drew concern among attendees and organizers, who said the disruption highlighted a broader cultural and political divide. Breakthrough Ideas, an organization led by former state representative Jeanne Ives, responded to the event by calling for “more speech, not less,” and said Kirk’s vision based on constitutional and biblical principles must be defended publicly. “They’re hoping (Kirk’s) murder isn’t a real Turning Point in America,” the group said in a newsletter. “They hope people don’t start to evaluate the culture and realize that the Left has been feeding children, young adults, and even boomers progressive nonsense that debases society and breaks the social and constitutional contract that citizens in a free society should have with each other.”)

— Trump’s DOJ argues against gun ban signed by Pritzker after Highland Park shooting. I argued pro se before the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Diersen v. Chicago Car Exchange in 1996.

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.

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.’”)

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.

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.”)

Since I was 29 in 1978, my critics/opponents have held it against me that the federal government has also paid 72% of my wife’s health insurance because of my federal employment. My critics/opponent make it clear that they a) despise/hate federal employees and retirees and b) that they would never stoop to take a federal job.

— Republican Ted Dabrowski announces bid for governor
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.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— QUESTION: Why don’t religious, conservative, and/or Republican leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton encourage their followers to read GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters? ANSWER::a) they reject/despise conservatism, b) they reject/despise the Republican Party platform, c) they reject/despise planks in the Republican Party platform that I promote, most commonly, 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, d) they hate/destroy those like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money, and/or e) they despise/hate one or more of my demographics. I should write about the aforesaid leaders who are doing the most to discourage me from sending GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters out and to discourage everyone from reading them. I would focus on those who have had their operatives and their dupes take the most/biggest adverse actions against me lately.- Dave Diersen

— 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.)
