— 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..

(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.”)

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.

— 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.

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.

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.

— More public servants lose the ability to hold America hostage
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/5/editorial-public-servants-lose-ability-hold-america-hostage/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: President Trump is uprooting the mechanisms Democrats deployed to enhance their political power with taxpayer funds. 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.)

My Democrat GAO superiors used that demotion to justify their wasting my career and forcing me to retire when I was 49 years old in 1997. I should write about that. GAO audits IRS. When I transferred, 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, b) I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976, c) I had passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, and d) I had almost completed the requirements for a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul. Much of what I did for IRS was very similar to what I did for GAO.

WALL STREET JOURNAL
— Job Hopping Is Out, Job Hugging Is In for Fearful Workers. Employees are reluctant to give up a job in today’s rocky job market. I might still be a GAO employee if my Democrat GAO superiors had not forced me to retire. I might still be an IRS employee if my Democrat IRS superiors had not made it so clear that they would never promote me to GS-13. I might still be a GM employee if Oldsmobile had not withdrawn its job offer that I had accepted because it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. I might still be a Firestone Store employee if my Democrat Firestone Store boss had not made my advancement prospects look so dismal. I might still be a postal employee if my Democrat postal superiors had not forced me to resign.
