So successful professionally, Rush also faced some dark times personally – but when I went to visit him last year, I was profoundly encouraged by the faith I found. Here’s the story the rest of the media won’t tell you.
JERUSALEM – How did Rush Limbaugh become the most-listened-to and most-influential radio broadcaster in American history?
A brilliant conversationalist
Absolutely the most original thinker on the American political and cultural scene
A cover story, a lightning rod, never boring – ever – and usually side-splittingly funny
Heard on more than 600 stations across the country
Listened to by more than 20 million people a week
Almost single-handedly rescued the dying AM radio system, turning it into a flourishing business through the political talk show format
Courted by Republican presidents, and countless more presidential contenders
Credited by Ronald Reagan as the voice of conservatism
Credited by Newt Gingrich as helping conservatives win control of Congress in 1994 for the first time in 40 years
Most pro-Israel broadcaster in U.S. history
Hated by the Left
Viciously and routinely attacked by Democrats and their allies in the media
Making $85 million a year
And ultimately awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom at last year’s State of the Union address
How did it all come about?

I remember Rush’s character and demeanor changed significantly, even just listening to him, after he gave his life to Christ.
It was awesome!
So, “TALENT RETURNED TO GOD”!
Off subject, my grapevine is talking about us hitting Syria, but that is not the real news.
What I hearing (opposite the reports), is that Biden/Harris had nothing to do with the actual order.
The reports are “Biden Orders Attack”, or some variant of this.
This is hands down, the most weird scenario I have ever seen in America.
Fantastic news!!
This is a little off the main topic of the thread, and thanks for posting it! Love Joel Rosenberg, but this is like the 3rd great story I’ve read about Rush being generous and helpful to people.
Here, Rosenberg says that Rush interviewed him and really went above and beyond and made his book a best seller (and I think I read that book and a couple of other and they are really very good for thriller books of that type).
And then some woman whose name escapes me, but who used to be a big lib but is now on our side told about how she was a newbie radio host out in California on the same station that carried Rush. And how he gave her good advice on just being a radio talk show host. Even though he knew she was on the opposite side politically. In fact, it seemed to me like his kindness and openness to her was what made her start realizing that her “friends” on the Left were just full of baloney!
And then the really lovely piece that Mark Steyn put up, where he said he pretty much owed Rush everything. And that after Steyn got into that contre-temps with the other right wingers, and they were all urging Rush to dump Steyn as a guest hoster, and how easy it would have been for Rush to do that, but he just didn’t. He just wouldn’t do it. And Steyn said that was the ONLY reason he is still around professionally as a right wing media personality. And I do love Mark Steyn!
I always was a fan, but I’m very impressed by these stories!
Another great tribute to Rush! Thank you for posting.
Unapologetically Christian daily in the public square.
Thanks Rush!
That’s good. Sometimes things make themselves known by their absence. For years it seemed like Mammon and Ayn Rand were his spiritual lodestars.
Oh, Lordy, your “grapevine”???? For real??
Amen. I do believe God used Rush to lead more souls to Him. Well done Rush.
I thank God that I did. I try to make it the best day I can no matter what. I don’t look too far ahead. I certainly don’t look too far back. I try to remain committed to the idea what’s supposed to happen, will happen when it’s meant to. I mentioned at the outset of this — the first day I told you — that I have personal relationship with Jesus Christ. - https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2020/10/19/an-update-on-my-health-its-a-roller-coaster/
The "grapevine:" Dept of Defense | 2/25/21: U.S. Conducts Defensive Precision Strike
I’m not sure that Rush talked much about pain and suffering. We know he was addicted to opioid painkillers years ago and he got off them. A victory. I am a firm believer that everything comes from God, absolutely everything. He permits all things. Even suffering. Question is what do I do with suffering. Do I bear it and offer it up as a measly sacrifice for what Christ suffered for us, or do I take drugs to mask the pain. I had this conversation recently with a sister who passed. She had suffered much the last few years and had very little or no faith to help her. She was addicted to opioids. I also believe God never gives us more than we can bear. I read since Rush’s death that he suffered greatly for days and refused pain meds. So YES I am happy he gave his life to Jesus and he was taken home in God’s time.
Thanks for the reach back.
I see the post.
Correct. Many don’t know this but Trump us still President and running a shadow government from Florida for a time.
All “open-source”, and totally not my lane, so should be good...
Unlike the other living presidents, there is no TFR for [P]resident Trump anywhere in the nation.
This alone is very uncharacteristic, and not standard procedure for Secret Service.
I can think of two ways to make up for the deliberate non-use of TFR for a president.
And both fall into -
“.... Trump is still President and running a shadow government from Florida for a time.” [S.395, PTE Act, 2019 // up to 90 days from inauguration]
— A TFR can be established, but is not necessary if President Trump is operational from an established “NO FLY” restricted base/post (option 1)
— Or he is being actively guarded by Air, Sea, and Land by DoD (option 2)
As he is heavily involved with the Pentagon at the moment, and needing levels of classification for operations, a trailing TFR (issued by FAA - could give his locations or history away (unless used as part of disinformation), especially when FedGov is full of anti-American/anti-God, global socialist political insurgent hacks.
In such a no moral boundaries, “out-of-control”, leftist insurgent government environment, (which in the past has likely been involved in various ways of “scratching” presidents, senators, congressman, judges), and because of necessary operations, it’s necessary to go near underground for a while.
However, while it would (and has) required careful cooperation with ss, within the event of option 2, the military can, and likely has taken point on President Trump’s overwatch. AND “walla” no FAA TFR required, no FAA TFR established.
What we have seen completely falls into “option 2”. “Monkey Werx” has been showing heavily increased, really constant activity off the East Florida Coast from *Mayport down to Ft Lauderdale, when compared to pre JAN levels.
This includes constant overlapping surveilling and flight lines by J-STARS, P-3C’s, P-8A’s, and MQ-4C routes by air, as well as heavy F-35 and even F-22’s have been observed together and often. Other military flights are seen often as well. “Event 2” has also included operations and loitering of what is actually USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7), and that is significant in this context. As everyone knows, Mar-a-Logo is really an island, allowing regular Coast Guard, Navy, and Marine and assets to carry out friendly patrol around the island.
All of this is evidence of Trump still acting in some capacity as CIC.
I agree with you.
