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.)

Who would attend? Who would boycott the event?

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— More Americans Are Stuck With the Jobs They Can Get, Not the Ones They Want. I wanted a career in the automotive industry. That ended when I was 22 years old in 1971 when my Firestone Store boss rudely fired me because I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile. But Oldsmobile withdrew that job offer because it just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Because I had to have a job, I accepted a job offer from IRS. My father had died suddenly in 1969 and I was helping support my mother and brother.

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.)

The least of which they would do would be to demote me and to give me adverse transfers. Previously, they had always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and forced to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS. GAO was not unionized; it did not unionize until 2007.)

I should write a book about RINO candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000, their major donors, their campaign consultants, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers who have made it the most clear that they did not want my help. They hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I am “too conservative” and that because of that, the more that I tried to help candidates (distributed their campaign literature in my precinct, displayed their signs on my front yard, got sign locations for them in my precinct, etc.), the fewer votes that those candidates would get.

I would focus on how the aforesaid got elected. I would focus on how they have treated Republicans like me who support the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. In 2005, as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, I organized a candidate forum in Springfield the evening before the day that the IRP State Central Committee elected McKenna. Attendees included candidates McKenna, Steve McGlynn, John Cox, and Jim Nalepa.)

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/bethbaumann/2021/01/10/why-rep-kinzinger-backs-invoking-the-25th-amendment-over-impeachment-n2582888
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Republican Congressman Adam Kinzinger (IL) on Sunday said he believes impeaching President Donald Trump isn’t a “smart move.” Instead, he would rather see Vice President Mike Pence invoke the 25th Amendment. “I honestly don’t think impeachment is the smart move because I think it victimizes Donald Trump again, Kinzinger explained to ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos. “… He stirred up a crowd. It was an executive branch attack on the legislative branch, one of the worst days in American history.” The congressman said he would “vote the right way” on whatever articles of impeachment are brought forth. The issue he has is the small amount of time left in Trump’s administration. “I would think it’s the right move if we had more than basically 10 days left of the administration,” Kinzinger said. ” … We’re not going to be able to even get through a trial so, yeah, he’ll be impeached a second time, but also exonerated, in theory, a second time. It depends on how that trial goes. If they do it once he’s out of office, all that. I think there’s a lot of ideas with censor, with preventing him from being able to run again. The reality is we just don’t have a lot of time in this administration left, which is a good thing.”)
