— 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.)
— The Utah Valley University campus is closed until next week, following the fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Authorities appealed to the public for help, as the suspect remained at large on Thursday.

(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.)

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.”)

https://foxillinois.com/news/nation-world/gop-pushes-for-policy-fix-to-border-crisis-non-governmental-organizations-faith-illegal-immigration-biden-administration-grants-work-facilitate-republicans
(FROM THE ARTICLE: During a fiery House Homeland Security Committee hearing Wednesday, Republicans accused non-governmental organizations– many of which were faith-based groups– of incentivizing illegal immigration during the Biden administration by providing services or support to migrants, even though many of the same Republicans voted to fund grants that helped facilitate their work. During the hearing titled “An Inside Job: How NGOs Facilitated the Biden Border Crisis,” Border Security and Enforcement Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss., accused many of the NGOs of acting as a “launching pad for mass illegal immigration.” “FEMA provided grants to numerous NGOs, many of whom were operating at the southwest border,” Guest said. “These groups spent billions of taxpayers’ dollars.”)

— The GOP’s SALT Deal Folly. Republicans make it easier for Democrats to raise state taxes. Before SALT, my wife and I paid less federal income tax by itemizing, both of us staring in 1978 and I starting in 1972. My critics/opponents were always furious about that. I deducted my graduate business and accounting course expenses 1972-1980 and my graduate finance course expenses 1992-1997.

— You Can Still Negotiate a ‘Best and Final’ Job Offer. Job hunters can talk their way into a better deal, even if the salary is set. Ever since I was 31 years old in 1980, my critics/opponents have used against me big time my taking a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. They have always hinted/implied/argued/shouted that pay cut proved a) that IRS had grossly overpaid me, that is, that IRS should not have promoted me in 1972, 1983, and 1974 and b) that was an extremely bad person because I had worked 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/year, because much of what I would do for GAO was similar to what I did for IRS, because GAO audits IRS, because I has almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting, because I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and because I had earned an MBA in 1976. I should write about the aforesaid.

If my parents had not sent me to Missouri Synod Lutheran grade schools, I would not have been able to get an ACT score of 24, graduate in the upper 20% of my high school class, or get accepted by UIC. But because of the tuition they paid, I had to work my way through college and my GPA was lower.

INSIDE HIGHER EDUCATION
— Five years after India opened the door for American colleges, IIT became the first to accept the invitation. I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT when I was 48 in 1997. I did that a) because my Democrat GAO superiors had made it clear that they would never again assign me to audits of IRS, b) because they had assigned me audits of federal financial institution regulators since 1990, c) because I had previously not taken that many courses in finance, and d) because my supervisor wanted me to earn that degree. But in 1997, my Democrat GAO superiors flushed my IIT degree down their toilet by forcing me to retire.

This year, the aforesaid succeeded in muzzling me and muzzling my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters by stopping me from doing that.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: “If I say the ‘wrong thing’ — whatever that might be — on my Fireside Chat podcast for PragerU, I can be yanked off YouTube or Facebook. When big business and big government work together to muzzle free speech, that’s fascism,” Mr. Prager said. The nationally syndicated talk show host’s comments came as his company PragerU continues to wage a long legal battle against Google’s YouTube. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last year ruled unanimously against Mr. Prager‘s claim of illegal censorship of conservatives. But Mr. Prager continues to allege that YouTube prevents PragerU from advertising videos due to unexplained violations of community guidelines, restricting other videos as likewise inappropriate and adding a disclaimer that the content may be factually incorrect. “Never in the history of this country has free speech been in such jeopardy. What’s even more shocking is that the threat is not coming directly from the government but from woke corporations,” Mr. Prager said.)

— APRIL 12, 2021 FLASHBACK: Republicans aren’t conservative anymore – Lydia Storella (COMMENT: What should I say to my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who stress that none of following came to my defense when Wheaton and the Wheaton Park District (WPD) stopped me this year from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parade and fireworks: a) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, etc.; b) Republican leaders of Wheaton, WPD, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, etc.; c) conservative leaders; d) religious leaders; and e) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, campaign volunteers, f) etc.? What should I say to those who stress that none of those who contributed funds in the past came to my defense including the following: Michael Barbier, Bob Berlin, Peter Breen, Liam Brennan, Fred Bucholz, Mike Burke, Joe Cantore, Roger Claar, Franco Coladipietro, Mike Connelly, Dan Cronin, Tom Cross, Kirk Dillard, Grant Eckhoff, Tim Elloitt, Sherry Falbo, Paul Fullerton, Bob Gibson, Amy Grant, Bob Grogan, Chris Heidorn, Gwen Henry, Paul Hinds, Babette Holder, Jeanne Ives, Robert Jacobsen, Richard Jorgensen, Chris Kachiroubas, Marty Keller, Bob Kleeman, Mark Kmiecik, Mark Kirk, Brian Krajewski, Bob Larsen, Robert Lyon, Jeff MacKay, Deanne Mazzochi, Paula McGowen, James Mendrick, John Millner, Dave Molitor, John Monino, Chris Nybo, Jim Oberweis, Debra Olson, Sandy Pihos, Karyn Romano, Peter Roskam, Darlene Ruscitti, Evelyn Sanguinetti, Phil Suess, Brian Telander, John Vires, Ann Celine Walsh, Tim Whelan, Kevin Wiley, Karen Wilson, John Zaruba, and Jim Zay. Should one construe that the aforesaid will not seek a government or political office as a Republican in the future? Should one construe that the aforesaid have “moved to the left?” Should one construe that the aforesaid have become anti-conservative? Or should one construe that my critics/opponents have promised to destroy ANYONE who might come to my defense? If Wheaton and the WPD “let” me raise funds from DuPage Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2022 Independence Day parade and fireworks like I did 2005-2019, will candidates on June 28, 2022 Republican primary ballots in DuPage County contribute?
