Disgusting. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Iowa county leader says it will defy governor's order to fly flags at half-staff The chairman of the board of supervisors in Johnson County, Iowa, said the county will defy an order from state Gov. Kim Reynolds to fly flags at half-staff in memory of Kirk. The chairman, Jon Green, said in a post on Facebook last night that Kirk did not encourage inclusivity. "I condemn Kirk's killing, regardless of who pulled the trigger or why," Green stated. "But I will not grant Johnson County honors to a man who made it his life's mission to denigrate so many of the constituents I have sworn an oath to protect, and who did so much to harm not only the marginalized, but also to degrade the fabric of our body politic."

Office Depot's Propaganda Ploy: Two 'Slacktivist' Employees Canceled a Charlie Kirk Memorial Rally Order Some members of a freedom-focused group ordered posters for a 'Charlie Kirk Memorial' rally tonight. They ordered them through 'Office Depot' online, paid for them and planned to pick them up in four hours. Seemed like a great plan until they got there and two employees told them their order was not fulfilled. Did the machines break down, perhaps? Were they too busy to get to the order? Nope! Neither of those things. These employees just decided the posters were, wait for it, propaganda. As a result, they didn't print the order.

Profound and elegant, from Jonathan Turley. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Prove me Wrong": Charlie Kirk's Final Challenge on Free Speech Yesterday, the United States entered a new and chilling stage of what I have called the "age of rage." After two attempted assassinations of President Donald Trump, leading conservative leader Charlie Kirk, father of two, was gunned down at a campus event at Utah Valley University. I learned the news while I was in Prague to speak on my book, "The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage" and the growing attacks on free speech around the world. I never imagined that I would be speaking about Charlie's murder and what it represents for free speech.
