I'm surprised with the passing of Rush and the various memories being shared that I haven't seen any mention of the parodies Rush played. Looking through several of them brought back the laughter shared by our harmless little fuzz ball

Billionaire Bill Gates told CNBC on Thursday that former President Donald Trump “probably should be allowed back on” the social media services that he was removed from during the final weeks of his term. “I think at some point he probably will be allowed back on and probably should be allowed back on,” Gates said in an interview with “Squawk Box” co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin. Most major social media companies, including Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, blocked or restricted Trump’s accounts during the last few weeks of his presidency after he continued to claim that the results of the 2020 presidential...

Bujold, and Harry Turtledove, none of whom fit into the conservative author narrative. Let’s stop right here before we go any further. Sanford is engaging in a shell game. Despite the qualifying paragraph, he’s doing everything possible here to depict Baen Books as being predominantly a publisher of what he calls “socially conservative writers.” Such a conveniently vague three words those are—which papers over what is in fact a very diverse group of authors. How diverse? Well, let’s start with me. Which I think is appropriate not simply because I’m writing this essay but because over the past (almost) quarter...

Rush Limbaugh TV- Feminists Won't Eat Meat Rush's views on radical feminists are one of the most frequently misunderstood and deliberately misrepresented things about the EIB Network. The fact is, "radical" feminists are as different from rank-and-file women as "radical" environmentalists are from those of us who want clean air, water and land. Both factions have hijacked movements that started out with issues we can all support, and twisted them to their own agendas. This is why Rush has said that there are only about a dozen "FemiNazis" in the world - not that it has stopped liberals from wrongly...

When Joe Biden met with a group of mayors and governors last week he bluntly told them to get ready for a legislative defeat: his proposed minimum wage hike was unlikely to happen, he said, at least in the near term. “I really want this in there but it just doesn't look like we can do it because of reconciliation,” Biden told the group, according to a person in the room. “I’m not going to give up. But right now, we have to prepare for this not making it.” The comments, which were confirmed by two other people familiar with...

CBS is in a full-court press for gun control on its evening entertainment television shows. The bad guys are always white supremacists who use machine guns — supposedly AR-15s — to commit mass public shootings. Criminals in Mexico supposedly get machine guns from the United States. A father’s desire to protect his family only leads to tragedy when his daughter gets into the gun safe and uses the weapon in a mass public shooting. And guns in the home pose a danger for children. Gun registration is necessary for solving crime. NBC isn’t to be left out, showing a woman...

The deadly Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol has prompted calls to step up security around federal properties in Washington, but D.C. officials and locals say the idea of putting permanent fences around those sites is a step too far. Today, a steel-bar fence as high as 12 feet and topped with razor wire encloses a 3-square-mile area around the Capitol building, where rioters last month toppled bicycle-rack barriers and overwhelmed police officers to disrupt Congress’ certification of the Electoral College vote. Armed National Guardsmen now patrol the fence perimeter, which is backed by concrete Jersey barriers in some...

In the texts, Heidi Cruz noted that rooms were just $309 per night at the resort and that the venue had good security. She detailed a potential trip from Wednesday through Sunday, with direct flights to and from Cancun. Cruz’s offer reportedly drew little interest from neighbors. The senator’s wife offered the group help if they needed. "We have gas stove so at least we can heat water little that there is happy to help anyone we can too," she wrote. Representatives for Cruz did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the texts. Images of the senator’s...

Democrat lawmakers in the House of Representatives introduced a new bill on Thursday that would ban only former President Donald Trump from being buried in Arlington National Cemetery or having federal funds going to buildings bearing his names. The bill, introduced by Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA), applies all its prohibitions to “any former President that has been twice impeached by the House of Representatives on or before the date of enactment of this Act.” The bill would specifically target Trump, who is the only U.S. president to have been impeached twice by the House of Representatives. The bill states its...
