Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh was fired up on Wednesday following Sen. Thad Cochran’s controversial victory over tea party-backed state Sen. Chris McDaniel in Mississippi on Thursday. Cochran reached out to traditionally Democratic voters – blacks and union members – in a last-ditch effort to beat McDaniel. “The Republican establishment sought victory via Democrat voters in the runoff, and they got them. Without the African-American vote from Democrat-leaning counties, Thad Cochrane would have lost by eight or nine percent last night,” Limbaugh said, calling the tactic “reprehensible.” Limbaugh cited a flyer, posted by journalist Charles Johnson that suggested McDaniel and...

"Six months ago, The Regime began planning how to transport tens of thousands of undocumented children from the border. A January 29th application was posted on Federal Business Opportunities, a website that advertises government contract openings. The post says the government was preparing for the arrival of undocumented kids. They sought vendors to handle transportation logistics. The document states Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, has a “mission-critical responsibility for accepting custody of Unaccompanied Alien Children from US Border Patrol and other Federal agencies,” and then “transporting these juveniles to Office of Refugee Resettlement shelters located throughout the continental United States.”...

-SNIP-Limbaugh remarked, “When Mrs. Clinton said, ‘We’re not well off. We pay ordinary income taxes,’ she’s jealous. She’s envious of people of people who have a lot of money. And $50 million, $100 million in their world isn’t a lot of money. Not among the people they hold dear. They know multi-billionaires. They fly around gratis on their friends’ private Boeing 757s. The Clintons are so cheap, they won’t spend their own money on anything, not even to charter a Piper Cub to get from Chappaqua [New York] to Washington.” He continued: “They’re out they’re doing everything they can while...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I want you to imagine the federal government eliminating your private property rights due to the interpretation of political correctness by five people, or a very tiny minority of people. The tiny minority of people are ostensibly, they say, offended by something that you own. Imagine an agency of the federal government, without any proper adjudication before any sort of court, tribunal, or what have you, just comes along and, on their own whim, decides to eliminate your private property rights. Because of interpretation of political correctness, because they're liberals, because they're statists and authoritarians and assigned...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The NBC News/Washington Post poll. It is indeed very bad for Obama, but it's irrelevant. The poll means nothing to Obama. His presidency is not over. It's just getting started. I say this because Obama is operating unilaterally. He doesn't have to face voters anymore. The lame duck analogy doesn't apply to Obama. Mostly when a president reaches lame duck status, it's usually meant to be that he's powerless. But that doesn't apply here to Obama. His lame duck status simply means: The fact that he doesn't have to face the voters anymore means there's no reason...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: So I got in here today, and I got a flash e-mail: "Hey, Rush, I know you've got a ban on MSNBC, but F. Chuck Todd said that the Obama presidency is over. It's done. It's fini because of the latest NBC News/Washington Post poll." I'm sad to say that F. Chuck Todd is wrong. In fact, the correct way to look at the Obama administration is that it's just now getting started. It is in no way over. It is in no way crumbling. It may be in public opinion, but that doesn't matter. I will...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I want to go back to the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll for one little tidbit of additional information that was not imparted by F. Chuck Todd. However, it could be one of the reasons he's so despondent. Washington Examiner dug deep. "Hispanics Help Drive President Obama's Approval Rating to a Fresh Low." Hispanics. Now, remember, the conventional wisdom in Washington is the Republicans had better adopt the policies of the Democrats so that they get some Hispanic support so that they can win some elections again. And if they don't do that, it's sayonara -- or...

I caught Rush's show yesterday for a few minutes and I'm not sure if he was reading an article from realclearpolitics or if he was on an extended rant, but it was absolutely brilliant. He was talking about the Republican party being driven by big business and not being receptive to the conservative base. He mentioned Brit Hume's whining about the Cantor loss. Does anyone know if this was an article he was reading, and, if so, have a link to the article?

I just heard on Rush's show that there is a possibility that Obama will issue a blanket pardon of all illegal aliens in the United States. Rush said that he will use the threat of this to goad Republicans into passing an immigration reform bill. What needs to be understood about this threat is that it doesn't change much. The constitutional power of the president to pardon people of crimes allows this pres__ent to excuse the crimes that the illegals have committed at the time of the pardon. What is the crime? Being in the country illegally. OK, so we...

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Before we get to the Hillary Clinton sound bites, I don't think things are going as well with this book as they had planned. But that's just my first take, just based on things I'm seeing in the news. It's still at number two on Amazon and it had the whole Drive-By Media behind it. It's already been marked down 40%, which is not uncommon. It's standard operating procedure sometimes for best-sellers to be knocked down to 30%, anywhere from 15 to 30. But 40? And there are not a whole lot of people showing up at...

As usual, Rush Limbaugh’s kidding goes right over the head of leftists. The Huffington Post’s Catherine Taibi apparently didn’t hear the mirth in Rush’s voice when he took a call on Thursday from a man who called himself “Tina.” The headline of her short piece is, “Rush Limbaugh Gets Schooled By Transgender Caller.” But, that’s not what happened. In part, she wrote: Rush Limbaugh got a long overdue lesson on Thursday when a transgender caller, Tina, smacked down his use of the word “tranny.” While attempting to defend himself against the caller’s claim that he is anti-transgender rights, Limbaugh assured...

Flashback: Obama Wanted to Charge Wounded Veterans for Treatment May 22, 2014, by Rush Limbaugh BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Ralph in Omaha. Welcome to the program. Hello. CALLER: Thanks, Rush. It's a real honor to be speaking with you. I'm calling because I find Obama's outrage over medical care for the veterans IS MORE THAN A BIT DISINGENUOUS.I recall when he first was elected to office, that it was his thinking thatsince the military were all volunteers anyway,that they should be buying their own medical insurance.And if this was his thinking then, I don't see it being changed now. RUSH:...

Traveling down I-95, headed home to Florida from visiting Mary and my parents in Maryland and West Virginia, I found myself yelling in frustration at my radio. Rush Limbaugh asked: Who gives the left power to silence opposition, control speech, and get people fired or ordered into sensitivity training? Rush rattled off numerous examples to prove his point, including a mere 50 leftist student protesters at Rutgers successfully forcing Condoleezza Rice to back down from giving their commencement speech. Who gives the left such power? I yelled, “We do!” By the way, while in West Virginia, I attended Mary's dad's...

Liberals across America are up in arms about Rush Limbaugh being awarded “Author of the Year” by the Children’s Book Council after the group held an online vote premised on it being restricted to kids. Interestingly, several leftists of MSNBC’s ilk attempted to get the book banned from the election process, knowing that the hot-selling children’s book was a candidate to win the title. Reverend Al and his panel of unremorseful left-wing zealots splashed as much haterade as possible, spewing as much denial and contempt as they could on Rush winning the award.

EW didn’t receive a review copy of this book, so we have not actually read it (consider this top of my weekend to-do list), but here are some reactions from other critics:

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: A lot of people are really all excited about what happened to Jill Abramson yesterday. Jill Abramson, what was she, the managing editor of the New York Times, the first female managing editor of the New York Times, and she was fired. They tried to talk her into going along with the idea that she resigned. They asked her to show up at the meeting with the staff where they announced her replacement, the first African-American managing director, Dean Baquet, but she wouldn't go along with it. She got canned. You wouldn't believe the Stack of Stuff...
