September 18, 2025

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.)

What Kirk events have the leaders of your township and county Republican organizations and the leaders of 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 the organization to host a Kirk event and to invite all those who knew Kirk to speak at it.

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.

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.

My mother never attended high school and never worked outside of the home until after he died. But nevertheless, they sent my brother and I to Missouri Synod Lutheran grade schools. My critics/opponents have always used that to demonize, denigrate, and condemn my parents, and therefore me, as being filthy rich.

— If I was still the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, the organization would host an event honoring Kirk. I would invite all those who knew Kirk to speak at that event. If I was still an Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee member, I would urge that organization to host a similar event. While I did not know Kirk, I know/knew many who knew Kirk Anti-conservatives would not have been able to destroy TAPROOT in 2012 if I had been able to recruit a conservative slate of officers to run with me, but my fellow conservatives declined. Anti-conservatives would not have been able to destroy ICRC in 2007 if more ICRC members had voted to keep me on ICRC’s Steering Committee. Anti-conservative Republican leaders in Illinois ever-increasingly blamed TAPROOT and George Ryan’s problems and then TAPROOT and ICRC for Jim Ryan’s problems. – Dave Diersen

— According to Democrats, Trump is too old to be President. Starting when I was 25 years old in 1974, according to my Democrat IRS superiors, I was too old to be a GS-13. I finally made GS-13 12 years later when I was 38 years old in 1986. But that was not until after I had a) earned an MBA fin 1976, b) passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, c) transferred to GAO in 1980, d) earned a master’s degree in accounting in 1980, e) passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, and f) became a licensed CPA in 1981. The Democrats who run the federal government use up-or-out to get rid of their employees who are Republican, White, male. older, and/or non-veteran.

— 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

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.)

The posters were ordered by the Kalamazoo County Republican Party for a vigil that took place at Bronson Park in downtown Kalamazoo on Friday evening. Why It Matters.

— Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Feels Like a Hinge Point. What a disaster for the young. It will forever shape their understanding of politics in America. If I had been active in Republican politics, a) the Democrats who ran the Post Office in 1966 would not have hired me, b) the Democrats who ran IRS in 1971 would not have hired me, and c) the Democrats who ran GAO in 1980 would not have hired me.

— Older Democrats Defy Calls for Retirement. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates wanted me to retire when I became eligible when I was 45 in 1993. They succeeded in forcing me to take GAO’s retirement “offer” just before it expired in 1997. I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until I was 55 in 2003. Being forced to retire early is devastating.

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— After Kirk’s death, safety takes center stage
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/illinois-playbook/2025/09/12/after-kirk-killing-safety-takes-center-stage-00560018
(FROM THE ARTICLE: STAYING SAFE: The shooting death of Charlie Kirk is prompting Illinois politicians and government leaders from both major parties to ramp up security. Republicans and Democrats are rethinking safety — from campaign events to press conferences. The pivot: Congresswoman Delia Ramirez, a Democrat, moved an outdoor press conference indoors on Thursday out of caution. Some members of the Chicago City Council sent a letter Thursday to Police Superintendent Larry Snelling and Chicago Corporation Counsel Mary Richardson-Lowry urging a review of safety protocols. “Over the last eighteen months, the Council Chamber has seen many rancorous meetings, City Council members needing escorts out of the building and protective services because of the subjects discussed and votes taken. Local ward offices have found themselves vandalized with graffiti, guillotine stickers, and more,” the City Council members wrote. Their full letter is here. They emphasized that the council, which has “long been an open, accessible body” to the residents, “must not leave its members’ safety to chance.” And Republicans are also zeroing in on security. James Mendrick, the DuPage County sheriff who’s running in the GOP primary for governor, contacted his opponents to offer advice on how to handle safety as the race intensifies. Dual duty: “I’m running for office, but I’m also the sheriff and have to make sure that everybody’s safe,” Mendrick told your Playbook host about making the unusual move to help opponents. He’s especially worried about “copycat” incidents. Mendrick’s suggestions to his GOP primary foes included moving campaign events indoors for a while, keeping track of who enters an event and having a “spotter” monitor the crowd. Unlikely unity: Aaron Del Mar, who is Darren Bailey’s lieutenant governor running mate, welcomed the outreach. “I don’t like plugging opponents,” he said. “But it’s a good sign for our Illinois Republican ecosystem, so I’ll take that call.” Suiting up: Del Mar spoke before heading out to purchase a bullet-proof vest.)

— 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.)

— Texts reveal dialogue between Mayor Johnson, controversial frontrunner in NYC’s mayoral race. A campaign spokesman for Johnson says he and Zohran Mamdani connected so Johnson could congratulate him on his primary win. But questions remain about whether an endorsement might be in the works — or whether it’d even be desired given Johnson’s lack of popularity.

— Chicago-area college students call for end to political violence after Charlie Kirk’s killing. A day after activist and Illinois native Charlie Kirk was fatally shot at a Utah campus event, conservative students say they want a climate where people can talk through their differences. The authors of this article viciously demonize, denigrate, and condemn Kirk. For alleged balance, they quote Wheaton College students Susanna Brink and Zach Johnson and Illinois State University student Ross Vancil.

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.”)

I know/knew many people who knew Kirk.

The more that you rely on the Democrat mainstream news media, the more that you will become anti-conservative, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-heterosexual, anti-traditional marriage and family, anti-those who have more money than you, anti-Protestant, anti-German American, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America longer than your ancestors.

Ever-increasingly, the Democrat mainstream news media hints/implies/argues/shouts that Trump caused Kirk’s assassination.

ILLINOIS GOP
— ILGOP Responds to Pritzker’s Vile Comments on Charlie Kirk. On Wednesday, immediately following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, Governor Pritzker doubled down on the violent political rhetoric the left is known for, and blamed President Trump for the despicable, violent act that occurred in Utah. Speaking to reporters, Pritzker said that, “there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president’s rhetoric often foments it.” ILGOP Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement: “JB Pritzker is a despicable human being for using this tragedy to take political shots and launch his campaign for president. Not only are these comments dangerous and unacceptable, but Pritzker seemingly ignores the fact that left-wing shooters attempted to assassinate President Trump during the 2024 campaign. Political violence has no place in this country and the ILGOP continues to pray for Charlie Kirk’s family.” Don’t Forget: in April, Pritzker stoked a New Hampshire crowd in calling for political violence.
