WHITE HOUSE

— HONORING THE MEMORY OF CHARLIE KIRK PROCLAMATION As a mark of respect for the memory of Charlie Kirk, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, September 14, 2025. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations. – DONALD J. TRUMP

ILLINOIS GOP

— Statement From ILGOP On Charlie Kirk: Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk today, ILGOP Chair Kathy Salvi released the following statement: “Our hearts are broken over the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. Charlie’s work for Republicans in Illinois and across the country was invaluable. Charlie gave an important and unique voice to young people across the country and engaged in thoughtful, open, and honest dialogue that our country desperately needs. “Political violence has no place in this country and we continue to pray for Charlie’s family.”

DUPAGE GOP

— Statement on Charlie Kirk Assassination: We are horrified by Charlie Kirk’s murder. Kirk has been a remarkable talent and role model for millions of young people across America. The enormous impact Charlie Kirk has made on our country cannot be understated. His tremendous impact will be lasting. The hate and intolerance that led to Charlie’s shooting needs to end. It’s incredible that we’ve reached a point in America that you have to consider one’s personal safety before entering into politics. Intimidation, bullying, and threats – whether overt or veiled – need to end. You do not truly have a free society if people are left afraid to openly express themselves. We cannot thank Charlie enough for his great work and devotion to our country. He was a true patriot. God bless Charlie Kirk and his family during this terrible time.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: When the trans folks arrived in Austin earlier this year to protest an incoming legislature that was bent on keeping men out of women’s sports and predators in skirts out of girls’ bathrooms, they held signs that read, “It was never about the bathrooms.” Now, those chickens have come home to roost. Their fight was never about freedom to pee next to the gender of your choice, but to indoctrinate the masses who would then forfeit enough power to make a difference. We see this struggle over and over in capitols across the United States. Sometimes the evidence is obvious, with drag queens reading stories of a misgendered crayon that finds its true identity with the help of a friend. (Grooming, anyone?) Sometimes, though, the devil is in the tangled web of university course catalogue details. This is where I have spent a few hours this week, combing through the files most academic advisors wouldn’t expect anyone to actually read if they’re not a current student.

— Conservative political activist and author Charlie Kirk has died, President Trump said. Kirk was shot Wednesday while on stage speaking at an event at Utah Valley University, law enforcement officials said. He was going back and forth with a student about mass shootings involving transgender people when he was shot, according to videos of the attack.

GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) gave the Democrats who run the federal government the power to force their employees to retire, that is, the power to fire their employees, if they fight their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination like I did. Of course, my Democrat GAO. IRS, and Post Office superiors hinted/implied that they wasted my career, took adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire “for cause.” My Democrat GAO superiors a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and d) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

— Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote student loans. If I had gotten a student loan instead of working my way through college, my GPA would have been higher. That would have helped me get a better paying job when I graduated debt-free in 1970. I did not get a job that required a bachelor’s degree until 1971 and it paid only $55,850/year in today’s dollars. But my salary increased to $68,315/year, $82,655/year, and $99,069/year in today’s dollars when I got promoted in 1972, 1973, and 1974. That enabled me to a) buy a new 1972 Corvette in 1971, b) pay for graduate evening courses starting in 1972, c) buy a new town home in University Park in 1972, d) buy condos in downtown Chicago in 1974 and 1976, and e) get married and buy a home in Wheaton and buy two new cars in 1978.

What made you “marriage material?” When I got married when I was 29 years old in 1978, a) I was earning $108,978/year in today’s dollars working for IRS, b) I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul, d) I owned a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building, e) I owned and rented out a town home in University Park, and f) I owned a 1972 Corvette and a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air.

BIZ PC REVIEW
— Hyundai plant raid was a part of something much worse. Pooler today, your municipality tomorrow?
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2025/09/09/hyundai-plant-raid-was-a-part-of-something-much-worse-1583446/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A story published by the Wall Street Journal on Sunday revealed how the illegals were, in fact, part of a quickly growing community of South Koreans who’ve been taking over the Georgia suburb of Pooler. “The population shot up 22% between just 2020 and 2024, according to census estimates, to around 31,000,” the Journal noted. “Demographic data lags behind, but community leaders estimate half of that growth has come from Koreans. “Suddenly, the single Korean restaurant in town had to compete with around half a dozen others. The newly opened Costco, locals said, started carrying Kimchi, dried seaweed, and mandu dumplings. New homes sprang up by the dozens, and Korean families moved into planned neighborhoods with streets named Blue Moon Crossing and Harvest Hill,” the Journal’s reporting continued. Here’s the key: “Many of the newcomers worked at the factory.” As in the same factory where hundreds of Korean immigrants were found to have immigration violations last Friday, to the point that most of them were outright illegal aliens. Days later, on Sunday, the South Korean government announced it’d be repatriating most of the factory workers. Not every South Korean in the community is an illegal alien. The Journal noted that the legal ones were not happy with the illegal workers for bringing undue scrutiny on them. “We were doing great until that incident happened,” citizen Robin Kim said. “Now, there’s a risk that people will make assumptions or generalize unfairly.” . . . Zeigler told the Journal that 65 union members were hired by the factory for some brief work and then let go several months ago, only to be permanently replaced by the South Koreans. “We went out there and did a great job, no fatalities, no injuries, and then we just got replaced by the undocumented workers,” he said. “It was a kick in the knee.” Tori Branum, who’s reportedly running in a Republican primary for a Georgia congressional seat, questions the $5.5 billion manufacturing deal with Hyundai that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed in 2022. The deal purported to give Hyundai $2 million in tax breaks in exchange for an economic boost to Georgia’s Savannah region. “We gave tax cuts for jobs for Georgians that never happened,” she said. Critics say all this points to a system that is being unfairly used to benefit foreigners at the expense of American citizens. “Americans are being taxed to subsidize foreigners from all over the world moving directly into their own neighborhoods to compete for jobs with their children and grandchildren,” one critic tweeted. “Our ancestors fought a revolution over less.” “Americans have just been subsidizing a new foreign-born enclave in a red state, led by a foreign corporation and American politicians,” another critic accurately pointed out.)

POLITICO
— Judge blocks Trump’s bid to fire Lisa Cook from Federal Reserve board. Federal law gives Trump the power to fire members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors “for cause,” which typically means serious misconduct or malfeasance on the job. The judges and justices in Diersen v. GAO ( https://gopillinois.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/DiersenGAOFifthAmendedComplaint.pdf ) gave the Democrats who run the federal government the power to force their employees to retire, that is, the power to fire their employees, if they fight their political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and/or national origin discrimination like I did. Of course, my Democrat GAO. IRS, and Post Office superiors hinted/implied that they wasted my career, took adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire “for cause.” My Democrat GAO superiors a) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, b) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, c) kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for them, and d) forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut to transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974. My Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968.

STATELINE
— A new, temporary security fence erected around the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on Friday has drawn attention amid reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are deploying soon to the Chicago area.

CAPITOL FAX
— Illinois Republican State Central Committeeperson Jeanne Ives, who lives in Wheaton: THESE PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS!  First, Wheaton is not a hotspot for illegals to reside. Even though we are the home of World Relief, that organization brings in bona fide refugees who have been vetted. Yes, Wheaton has several progressive Christian organizations that have bought into the “No one is Illegal” mantra, but there is not a lot of low-income housing or jobs available in the city. Second, Wheaton is one of the safest cities in Illinois precisely because our laws are enforced. These ingrates don’t appreciate that they are literally demanding that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement not enforce our national laws. It’s either that, or they think ICE is wrongly enforcing the laws. Which is it, organizers? And what exactly does “Harm to One is Harm to All” mean? Maybe the organizers should ask if the harm – murder of Katie Abraham and her friend Chloe Polzin – by an illegal alien in Champaign means harm to all. Why aren’t they focused on that? Or the harm illegals do by just simply flaunting our laws and expecting us to pick up the tab for everything. This particular rally in Wheaton, though, is just trying to get the Democrats riled up in the suburbs for political gain. They are looking to piggyback on all the attention Chicago is receiving about the threat of heightened ICE enforcement and possibly the National Guard coming to patrol the streets of the City. Ms. Ives is widely rumored to be on the short-list of potential running mates for Republican gubernatorial candidate Ted Dabrowski.

— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Student enrollment at Illinois’ regional universities is plummeting. Under the Democrats and under the RINOs, demographics trump everything. I earned a) a bachelor’s degree when I was 21, b) master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, c) professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 46, and 48, and d) a professional license when I was 32  I spent a tremendous amount of time and money doing the aforesaid. But could I find the motivation to do the aforesaid if I was young today? From what I see, fewer and fewer and fewer of those share demographics seek college degrees, professional certifications, and professional licenses. From what I see, it is because of ever-increasing Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, it is because of ever-increasing race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. Young people with my demographics ever-increasingly believe that it is not only not worth the effort, but that it is impossible. From what I see, ever-increasingly, America is up-or-out for those who share my demographics. If you share my demographics, you are written off and gotten rid of if you are not making say $150,000+/year by age 25, $200,000+/year by age 30, $250,000+/year by age 35, $400,000+/year by age 40, etc. In the federal government, the earnings deadlines are $117,807 by age 25, $139,211 by age 30, $163,749 by age 35, and $195,200 by age 40. Extremely few of those who share my demographics are able to meet those earnings deadlines. Because of my demographics and because I did not make any of the aforesaid earnings deadlines, my Democrat superiors in the federal government wasted my career and got rid of me.

I should write about that. Your critics/opponents use it against you big time. You have far less money for the rest of your life.

The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. I qualified myself for the Post Office job by passing the postal employment examination and by earning a high school diploma. I qualified myself for the IRS job by passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and by earning a bachelor’s degree in business. I qualified myself for the GAO job by earning an MBA, by passing the CPA examination on my first attempt, by almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting, and by 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.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— OMB Director Russell Vought says GAO ‘shouldn’t exist’ because of its partisanship. If Gingrich had reformed GAO during the 1980s and 1990s instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE. Democrats run GAO and IRS. They do not want Republicans to audit IRS. The way GAO treated me proves its partisanship. GAO forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. GAO always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. GAO delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. GAO kept me off audits of IRS for all by 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for it. GAO forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980.

— The Democrats who ran GAO in 1980, IRS in 1971, and the Post Office in 1966 hired me because they could not find a qualified Democrat, minority, female, younger person, or veteran who would take the job. I qualified myself for the Post Office job by passing the postal employment test and by earning a high school diploma. I qualified myself for the IRS job by passing the Federal Service Entrance Examination and by earning a bachelor’s degree in business. I qualified myself for the GAO job by earning an MBA, by passing the CPA examination on my first attempt, by almost completing the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting, and by working for IRS for almost 9 years. To hire, retain, and promote more Democrats, minorities, females, younger people, and veterans, the Democrats who run the federal government have ever-increasingly lowered hiring, retention, and promotion requirements. That ever-increasingly rendered worthless my three job-related master’s degrees, my six job-related professional certifications, and my job-related professional license.  All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less work experience than I had, had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) who were minority, female, younger than me, and/or veteran.

I erroneously thought I could never pass the CPA examination. But I did pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979 after I had a) worked for IRS since 1971, b) taken graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul since 1976, and c) then the Becker CPA review course. I went on a) to earn a master’s degree in accounting in 1980 and b) to pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt and to become a licensed CPA in 1981. But by then, my employer, GAO, and the accounting profession considered me to be too old to have a successful career in accounting. GAO and the accounting profession would not have done that if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran. – Dave Diersen

THE HILL
— Russell Vought says Government Accountability Office ‘shouldn’t exist.’ If Gingrich had reformed GAO during the 1980s and 1990s instead of gutting it, there would be no need for DOGE. Democrats run GAO and IRS. They do not want Republicans to audit IRS. The way GAO treated me proves its partisanship. GAO forced me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. GAO always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. GAO delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. GAO kept me off audits of IRS for all by 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for it. GAO forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS in 1980. My Democrat GAO superiors flushed down their toilets what I had learned a) earning master’s degrees in business, accounting, and finance, b) passing the CPA and Certified Internal Auditor examinations on my first attempt, c) becoming a licensed CPA, d) becoming a certified fraud examiner, government financial manager, financial services auditor, and forensic accountant, and e) working for IRS for almost 9 years. GAO would not have taken the aforesaid adverse actions against me if I had been a Democrat, minority, female, younger, or veteran.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The director of the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought, said Wednesday that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) should not exist. “We’re not big fans of GAO. They are a quasi-legislative independent entity and something that shouldn’t exist,” Vought said while addressing attendees at the National Conservatism Conference in Washington, D.C., as multiple news outlets reported. President Trump’s administration and some Republicans have long accused the GAO, which was created in 1921, of partisanship. . .The GAO is led by a comptroller general, who is appointed by the president and can be removed by Congress. Gene Dodaro is the current head of the GAO, serving in the role since late 2010. The terms are limited to 15 years. Dodaro said that “clearly Russell Vought does not value transparency and accountability.”)

In a recent presidential memorandum, the president asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate the misuse of federal grants for political purposes. A sophisticated inquiry is required because non-governmental organizations often employ complex structures that launder through subgrantees the ultimate destination of Uncle Sam’s cash. With public sector unions, however, the politicization is overt.)

(FROM THE BRIEFING: Republican Robert Vrankovich. Is running for the district now held by retiring Republican Rep. Amy Grant…Robert Vrankovich, husband, father, successful entrepreneur, and longtime community leader, today announced his campaign for State Representative in the 47th Legislative District. “Illinois is my home, and I will help reverse the course Springfield has set,” Vrankovich said. “It’s time to cut taxes and costs, make our communities safer, and turn Illinois into a business-friendly state where families can thrive.” “Representative Amy Grant has always represented the interests of our community. I am grateful for her years of dedicated service and look forward to continuing to protect the quality of life and shared values that make our neighborhoods such a great place to live and raise a family.” A proven entrepreneur, Vrankovich was the genesis of a start-up propane company 25 years ago, starting with zero customers and building it into a national operation generating more than $110 million annually. Having grown his business from the ground up, he knows firsthand how harmful policies from Springfield can stifle growth, drive up costs, and make life unaffordable for working families. “Springfield is making life unaffordable for families across Illinois,” Vrankovich explained. “The endless taxes and runaway spending are driving families and businesses out of our state. We should be making it easier to start and grow a business in Illinois, but instead, they’ve created one of the most hostile environments for job creators in the country. I’m running to change that.”)

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.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The shooter died at the scene from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, O’Hara said. The FBI identified the shooter as 23-year-old Robin Westman, who was born Robert Westman. Driver’s license information reviewed by ABC News described Westman as a female, born on June 17, 2002. A name change application for a minor born on the same date, June 17, 2002, was approved by a district court in Minnesota in 2020, changing the name of a Robert Westman to Robin Westman, explaining the minor child “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.” . . . Frey stressed at a second news conference, “Anybody who is using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community, or any other community out there, has lost their sense of common humanity.

— What to know about the shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/27/minneapolis-catholic-school-shooting/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the shooter — armed with a rifle, shotgun and pistol — approached the side of the church and shot through the windows toward the children inside before dying by suicide. He said the shooter, 23-year-old Robin Westman, did not have an extensive known criminal history, acted alone and had legally purchased the weapons recently. O’Hara said authorities are aware of a video showing writings that the shooter had timed to be released on YouTube. The content has been taken down and is under review as investigators try to determine a motive, the police chief said. Federal officials referred to Westman as transgender, and the mayor decried hatred being directed at “our transgender community.” Westman’s gender identity wasn’t clear. In 2020, a judge approved a petition, signed by Westman’s mother, asking for a name change from Robert to Robin, saying the petitioner “identifies as a female and wants her name to reflect that identification.”)
