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.)

But because of age discrimination, my delay in my earning my aforesaid degrees cost me dearly.

Instead, her security clearance was summarily revoked. In 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors acted like my Black CPA subordinate had threatened to leave GAO if they did not get rid of me. If I had not taken their early retirement “offer” in 1997, I would not have been eligible for regular retirement until 2003. My Black CPA subordinate a) had less job-related work experience than I had, b) had less job-related education than I had, c) had one job-related professional certification while I had six, and d) no job-related professional license like the one I had. They gave him my job and my preferred corner office.

— Inside ICE, Trump’s migrant crackdown is taking a toll on officers. I should write about the tremendous toll that Gingrich budget cuts took on GAO. I was one of the last Republicans that GAO hired. I would focus on the how my Democrat GAO superiors ever-increasingly took their anger against Gingrich out on me. They forced me to take a $23,472 (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They kept me off audits for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance. They forced me to retire when I was 49 years old.

WASINGTON POST
— FEMA employees put on leave after criticizing Trump administration in open letter. I did far more at GAO. When I was 40 years old in 1988, I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged GAO with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I was the only GAO Chicago office employee to do that. My Democrat GAO Chicago office superiors immediately threw me off audits of IRS for the rest of my GAO career. They gave me a very bad job assignment. They gave me very unfair performance expectations. They gave me a very unfair performance appraisal. They ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance and then always ranked me in the bottom half. They forced me to retire when I was 49. I should write about the aforesaid. The more of the following that federal employees are, the fewer Civil Service protections that they have: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and if their ancestors have been in America for a long time.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— Words matter when you’re elected to represent America, Congresswoman Ramirez
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/editorial-words-matter-elected-represent-100000284.html
(FROM THE EDITORIAL When a member of Congress publicly declares allegiance to another country over the United States, it’s bound to raise eyebrows — and for good reason. That’s what happened when U.S. Rep. Delia Ramirez, speaking at an event in Mexico City, said: “I’m a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” Ramirez, whose district stretches from DuPage County to Chicago’s Northwest Side, has since attempted to clarify her intent, saying on X that “honoring my Guatemalan ancestry only strengthens my commitment to America.”)

POLITICO ILLINOIS
— DuPage County Sheriff James Mendrick, who oversees the suburban areas where the Texans have been holing up, said he’s fielded calls nonstop from the public wanting to know why he hasn’t arrested the Texas visitors. “I tell them it’s because this is a civil case. They aren’t criminals,” Mendrick, a Republican running for governor of Illinois, told your Playbook host. “People hear the rhetoric and that’s when the calls come in.” We wonder if one of those calls came from the Illinois Freedom Caucus, which issued a statement Tuesday calling for Pritzker “to focus on Illinois instead of harboring Texas fugitives.” . . . With Richard Porter deciding not to run for U.S. Senate, watch for former GOP Chair Don Tracy to jump in. He’s also considered a run for governor. We’ll surely find out by next week when Republicans gather for the annual Republicans Day rally at the Fair on Aug. 14. Republican Ted Dabrowski continues to talk like a governor candidate.

I was the dishwasher for the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights 1964-1966. I was the only White male who washed dishes for the S.S. Kresge in Chicago Heights. My critics/opponents have always used that against me big time. They hint/imply/argue/shout that my dishwashing proves that I am an unmitigated loser and/or that I took a job that should have been given to Black women.

WASHINGTON TIMES
— ‘Squad’ member Rep. Delia Ramirez puts America second at gathering in Mexico City. Illinois native’s GOP colleague calls for her deportation.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/aug/5/squad-member-rep-delia-ramirez-puts-america-second-leftist-gathering/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rep. Delia Ramirez took the stage at a leftist conference in Mexico City over the weekend and declared that she was more proud of her Guatemalan heritage than her American citizenship. The Illinois Democrat, who attended the Panamerican Congress with fellow members of the House’s left-wing “Squad,” told the crowd in Spanish that she was “a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.” In the U.S., her remarks were met with questions about her allegiance to the voters who elected her and calls for her to be deported. “These Democrats’ comments are despicable and underscore their commitment to putting Americans last,” White House spokesperson Liz Huston said in a statement. “In stark contrast, President Trump is working tirelessly to secure peace deals, deport illegal alien criminals and advance America’s interests at home and abroad.” Ms. Ramirez has seldom been in the political spotlight. She has described herself as the “daughter of working-class Guatemalan immigrants.” She also has boasted that she is the only lawmaker in Congress “in a mixed-status family.” Her husband, Boris, is a Dreamer, or someone brought to the U.S. illegally as a child. Other House Democrats attending the Panamerican Congress, a gathering of leftist politicians from throughout the Americas, included Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Summer Lee of Pennsylvania and Jesus G. Garcia of Illinois. The Panamerican Congress concluded with pronouncements condemning the U.S. persecution of migrants and Israel’s aggression in the Gaza Strip. Ms. Ramirez’s speech garnered the most attention in the U.S. Rep. Andrew Ogles, Tennessee Republican, wrote in a post on X: “Denaturalize, deport, and kick her off the Homeland Committee. We know where her allegiances lie.” Rep. Claudia Tenney, New York Republican, said it’s “embarrassing” that the Democratic Party “no longer even pretends to put America first.” Charlie Kirk, founder of the conservative Turning Point USA, said, “Any person who values any other country over America does not belong in Congress. Period.” Ms. Ramirez doubled down on her Mexico City speech with a post Monday on social media. “Honoring my Guatemalan ancestry only strengthens my commitment to America. That is the truth I carry with me always. And it is a truth that many Americans carry with them,” she said. “Anyone who denies our claims on this country simply because we dare to honor our diverse heritage and immigrant roots only exposes how fragile and small-minded their own idea of America really is.” She called the attacks on her “a weak attempt to silence my dissent and invalidate my patriotic criticism of the nativist, white supremacist, authoritarians in government.” “It is the definition of hypocrisy that members of Congress — who betray their oath each day they enable Trump — are attacking me for celebrating my Guatemalan-American roots,” Ms. Ramirez said. The Department of Homeland Security responded to Ms. Ramirez with a quote from former President Theodore Roosevelt: “There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. … Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance.” Other Squad members have experienced travails similar to Ms. Ramirez’s. Ms. Omar, an immigrant from Somalia, was criticized last year after she said that, according to one translation, she was serving in Congress to “protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S. system.” She later said the widely shared translation was wrong and she was actually saying she was advocating for the U.S. to take a particular position in a dispute between Somalia and Ethiopia. Democrats are showing increasing hostility to Mr. Trump and, by extension, the government he controls, particularly concerning immigration. In New Jersey, Rep. LaMonica McIver faces federal charges after a clash with Homeland Security Department agents at a migrant detention facility. The Democrat was captured on video throwing elbows at officers amid a scuffle over whether a local mayor should be allowed access to the detention center. In Mexico City, Ms. Ramirez and her Democratic colleagues were attending the second annual Panamerican Congress. The event is billed as a gathering of delegates from countries “across the hemisphere with an ambitious agenda that ranges from equality to prosperity, solidarity to sovereignty.” Event attendees criticized U.S. immigration policy under Mr. Trump. Gerardo Fernandez Norona, president of the Mexican Senate, talked about the “persecution of migrants in the United States.” He called it “unjust, infamous and incorrect persecution where just for being a migrant, and just for your skin color or nationality, you are persecuted.”)

https://thefederalist.com/2025/08/05/homeland-security-committee-member-says-shes-loyal-to-a-different-homeland/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The founders knew our republic could not survive if its people — let alone leaders — were filled with foreign attachments. Forty-two years ago, a pregnant Guatemalan woman illegally crossed the Rio Grande River and gave birth to a baby who now has “birthright” citizenship. Today, that child sits in Congress — proudly declaring her allegiance to the country her mother left behind. This is the predictable result of a broken immigration system — one that has allowed the mass importation of both legal and illegal aliens regardless of their capacity or willingness to assimilate into the country. “I am a proud Guatemalan before I am American,” Illinois Democrat Rep. Delia Ramírez said in Spanish during the opening remarks of the second annual Panamerican Congress in Mexico City. Notably, she sits on the House Homeland Security Committee — a committee dedicated to protecting the homeland.)

— Plaintiff optimistic, DOJ interested in case against Illinois elections board
https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/article_748c769f-a4b8-463a-b8a1-873b7c66c20a.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A legal case is moving forward against the Illinois State Board of Elections over allegations that the state failed to maintain voter registration lists. Former state Rep. Jeanne Ives, R-Wheaton, said the National Voter Registration Act requires the state to perform list maintenance and remove ineligible voters. U.S. District Court Judge Sara L. Ellis dismissed two plaintiffs from the case last week, but Ives’ group, Breakthrough Ideas, was not dismissed and retains standing as a plaintiff along with Illinois Family Action. The groups filed suit with Judicial Watch attorneys in March of 2024. Ives said it’s obvious that voter lists are not well-maintained in Illinois. “This creates extra costs people should not have to incur and it wastes time as well, not to mention it invites fraud when you do not have cleaned-up voter lists,” Ives told The Center Square. Ives said the dead have voted in Illinois. “I’ve pointed out a couple of dead people that I know casted votes, and there was no adequate explanation for why that occurred. Because they were not cleaned off the voter roll, it invited fraud one way or another. In the state of Illinois, this becomes even more problematic when you have permanent vote by mail,” Ives explained. “So you will have ballots being sent to people that are possibly moved or dead, which makes list maintenance even more important in the state of Illinois.” Ives said 23 Illinois counties with a combined registration list of 980,089 voters reported removing only 100 registrations over a two-year period. “That is an absurdly small number. There is no possible way those counties were conducting a general program that makes an effort to clean up the voter rolls, because only a hundred people died in 23 counties? Nobody believes that, so we know that they’re not doing what they should do,” Ives said. On July 8, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a 15-page statement of interest in the case. “When Illinois voters cast their ballots, they should be confident that their vote is given its due weight, undiluted by ineligible voters,” the statement began. “It is critical to remove ineligible voters from the registration rolls so that elections are conducted fairly, accurately, and without fraud,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division in a press release regarding the statement of interest. “Under the NVRA, states have the responsibility to conduct a robust program of list maintenance. The Department of Justice will vigorously enforce those requirements to ensure compliance.” Ives said the case could have ramifications across the country. She said it is possible that the DOJ will file its own lawsuit. As for what’s next, Ives said parties were waiting for a written ruling and it’s possible there could be a hearing later this month. Ives said she suspects there could be a settlement in the case.)

WHITE HOUSE
— RESTORING EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY AND MERITOCRACY To promote Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI is to destroy equal opportunity and meritocracy. Since the 1960s, those above me have used AA and DEI to ever-increasing give more preference to Democrats and to RINOs who are minority, female, and or younger. That rendered worthless my job-related a) bachelor’s degree (1970), b) three master’s degrees (1976, 1980, and 1997), c) six professional certifications (1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997), and d) professional license (1981).

— Social Security Breaks Records: Retirees’ Checks Hit $2K for the First Time. My critics/opponents remain furious that I get Social Security. But I paid into Social Security for more than 10 years while I washed dishes, cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, pumped gasoline, delivered mail, worked on an automotive assembly line, sold tires, automotive services, and major appliances, and pumped more gasoline.

— According to my critics/opponents, all the problems that those who are liberal/moderate, non-Republican, minority, female, younger, unmarried, LGHTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time are caused by those who are conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, heterosexual, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who been in America for a long time.

FAST COMPANY
— 6 necessary skills that every leader should have.

My coworkers who were promoted the fastest/highest a) excelled at the aforesaid and/or b) excelled at destroying employees who shared my demographics.

BUSINESS BECAUSE
— Career Success. According to my critics/opponents, federal employees are not successful unless they make GS-13 ($117,807) by age 25, GS-14 ($139,211) by age 30, GS-15 ($163,749) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service ($195,200) by age 40. Since 1973, my critics/opponents have stressed that I did not make GS-13 until I was 38 and that I never made GS-14. In my defense, extremely few federal employees make the aforesaid promotion deadlines. The following frustrated my making the aforesaid promotion deadlines: a) I avoided the Vietnam Warr draft, b) I did not become a Democrat, c) I did not major in accounting at UIC 1966-1968 and NIU 1969-1970, d) I was not a minority, female, or veteran, e) I complained about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination, f) I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation when I was 40, g) I did not earn an MBA until I was 27, h) I did not take and pass the CPA examination until I was 30, i) I did not earn a master’s degree in accounting until I was 31, j) I did not take and pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination util I was 32, and k) I did not become a licensed CPA until I was 32.
