Rush's sign off was chilling. He could barely get out his sentiments. That final "Thank you" was hard to listen to.
All I can say is, "You're welcome, Rush."
My late husband in the early nineties turn me on to him. I just can’t stop crying. Love the man even though we never met!
Rush is a fighter. He will be back next year.
I love this man. He will be back.
I think she was real and I can get like that also. Even if Trump was able to correct fraud with GA dem senators Trump will be impeached and they will have the votes.
That was so hard to listen to.. in tears 😥
God Bless you Rush
“But what about that last caller who said Rush’s voice was like a father’s voice?”
My computer screen went blurry.
"Eternal dittoes". I like that a lot. Excellent post, FRiend.
Lots of thank you calls to Rush this week. Everyone knows he doesn’t have long and is hearing how much we love him for all he has given us.
I missed it, being too busy to stop for what is important.
My imagination doesn’t have much work to do to conjure what this sounded like.
Rush, if you’re reading these posts, just know that we love you beyond measure, we are so thankful for you. But more, we are beyond joyful that you are saved and that when ever your time comes Jesus will welcome you Home. We all should strive for this goal.
Rush, we pray for a miracle healing for you, and we pray for peace for you and your family.
God bless you and keep you.
seems odd
jake posobiec has a blue check mark and he is a nobody when compared to Rush
He’ll be back.
For how long into 2021 it’s hard to say. It’s Stage 4 terminal and, as he pointed out earlier today, he wasn’t expected to make it to the summer, let alone Christmas.
Miracles happen though.
and Rush - if you happen to read these forums - You didn’t fail. I know and understand where you’re coming from - that you didn’t make that goal of defeating the left outright. Dude, Reagan didn’t either. What you DID do was open a lot of American eyes to the struggle, fight and evil of the left. I’d say that, without you the Clintons and then Obama would’ve succeeded in turning us into Venezuela already.
I remember in the early 90s when some major network put on an hour long, one-shot, FEMALE COMEDY SPECIAL that did nothing but attack you personally (you’re fat, you have a mommy complex, etc) didn’t even attack what you were saying and certainly wasn’t funny (and was obviously feminist and communist - and nowadays I realize was just communist period). It was what opened my eyes to the fact that the media not only didn’t play fair but that they would happily attack and insult those while they called for a congenial society (of course, like all snowflakes and SJWs they want that reserved for themselves).
Rush - YOU DID THAT - You got the entire Clinton machine to come out and character assassinate YOU. Who had no political power, who wasn’t in government but just had a few hundred stations on AM radio that NOBODY LISTENED TO - except us conservatives and, obviously a whole lotta leftists. You even got them to start a competing leftist radio company that died on the vine!
They attacked you because you were an American, red-blooded, God fearing and exercising basic American rights.
And you woke me up to that and I, in turn, woke up a few others in the same way.
You may not have achieved your goal, Rush - but you planted a hell of a lot of seeds.
Godspeed my man.
And if you want to see what the next generation of you looks like - check out nerdrotic on youtube and a few others like him who are following in your footsteps in their own way.
Recently he said that he had not expected to be here for the election. Every day I think that if he needs to retire and enjoy his remaining time, he should. A listener since 1990, I’m a Rush 24/7 member so thanks for the reminder to listen to today’s show. All of his shows are precious these days.
Rush (last message today before he signed off for the year):
“I hope you all have a great Christmas and great New Year. And I hope the things that are in store for all of us in the coming year are certainly better than what we have endured in 2020...2021 has to be better.
We’re going to try to make it that way here at the EIB Network. Again, thank you so much...Merry Christmas everybody from all of us to all of you. Make it happen.”
Powerful indeed. Especially coming from a truly great man.
There is absolutely no one who can replace him in the dark years of communist tyranny that lie ahead for America...
Maybe his departing is a blessing for him...
There is no way the communists would have allowed him to remain on the air if he was healthy...
By next summer, all voices against this coming tyranny will have been silenced...
It wasn’t what he said, it’s how he said it.
He always expresses his appreciation during the last segment of the last show of the year. This was just..... different. I honestly don’t know how to explain it. If you can, find a rebroadcast and l.i.s.t.e.n. to it.
After a three-year pause, Twitter is going to let you ask for those little blue check marks again.
The company said Tuesday it will start reviewing applications in 2021 under newly released guidelines.
The blue check, which means Twitter has verified a user's identity, is seen as a status symbol on the platform but the process by which the checks were issued has long been murky and inconsistent.
"We haven't been clear about who can become verified and when, why an account might be unverified, or what it means to be verified," Twitter said in a blog post on Tuesday.
Now, according to Twitter, the guidelines for how blue checks are doled out will be public. But there will also be stepped up enforcement of blue-check violators.
The company said Tuesday it expects to automatically take away more of the blue check marks from users who are inactive or repeatedly break Twitter's rules, an enforcement action aimed at minimizing a user's visibility.
Twitter pioneered the check mark verification back in 2009 as a way of combating impersonators. But in 2017, the company halted its verification program amid a public backlash when Twitter gave a blue check to Jason Kessler, a white nationalist who was the lead organizer of the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally held in Charlottesville, Virginia.
At the time, Twitter said verification should not be seen as an endorsement but rather a way of authenticating a user's identity. Nonetheless, the company said the incident revealed that its process for validating users was flawed.
"The system is broken and needs to be reconsidered," Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey tweeted in November 2017.
Twitter says it is now reformulating its policy, and it is asking for the public's help under the Twitter hashtag #VerificationFeedback.
Twitter will review public input until December 8 and then issue its final policy for blue checks the following week, according to the company.
To receive the blue check, a user must be "notable and active" and work in government, politics, entertainment, sports, news and other industries.
A Twitter official said most of the now-public criteria matches what company employees used internally in deciding which users are blessed with a verification mark.
"We know we can't solve verification with a new policy alone — and that this initial policy won't cover every case for being verified — but it is a critical first step in helping us provide more transparency and fairer standards for verification on Twitter as we reprioritize this work," Twitter wrote in a blog post published on Tuesday. "This version of the policy is a starting point, and we intend to expand the categories and criteria for verification significantly over the next year."
The social network also has verified dozens of users who frequently spread tweets containing misinformation and falsehoods. Under Twitter's new guidelines, only organizations that "adhere to recognized professional standards for journalism" laid out by groups like the Society of Professional Journalists and the International Fact-Checking Network will receive verification.
The tightened standards will result in users and organizations losing verification status, but a Twitter spokesman would not comment further.
In the lead up to the November election, Twitter added "friction" to the platforms to slow down the rapid spread of misinformation, including an extra step before retweeting any posts from another account; labels on tweets that may contain misleading information and warning labels before someone can "like" a post carrying a disputed claim.
Twitter says since unrolling the temporary features, shares of misleading information have dropped nearly 30% on the platform.
Conversely, public health authorities and other experts have been verified by Twitter in recent months as part of a push to provide the public with credible information about the deadly virus.
I found him channel surfing in Summer of 88’. That day I finally found out I had Conservative beliefs.
My guess is Rush plans on using Twitter a lot when he can no longer do grueling three-hour broadcasts.
Everybody take five minutes today and visualize white heavenly healing light bathing Rush. It can work.
