A man has been arrested in connection with dozens of city-owned trees in Los Angeles that were cut down with a chainsaw over the Easter Holiday weekend. While law enforcement officials had no leads on April 20, some Angelenos were busy posting photos to Reddit and Instagram of all the felled trees downtown. In photos, trees were seen in pieces at locations including 1st Street and Wilshire Boulevard, Olympic Boulevard and Hope Street, Olympic Boulevard and Figueroa Street, Broadway and Cesar Chavez Avenue, Grand Avenue in front of the Wells Fargo Center and Grand Avenue and 5th Street.

L.A.'s fragile urban canopy was dealt a vicious blow this weekend when a chainsaw-wielding vandal cut down a number of shade trees along South Grand Avenue and other areas of downtown, according to media posts and photos uploaded to Reddit and Instagram. The Los Angeles Police Department told The Times it had no information about the tree destruction, and an email and phone call to the city's Urban Forestry Division went unanswered Sunday.

Will be arriving in Cape Girardeau this Saturday (3/8). Are there any Rush museums or tours? I see a self guided driving tour. Any Cape Girardeau freeper natives out there? Thanks!

I miss Rush Limbaugh. During the Biden years, I couldn’t help imagining him up in Heaven begging God to put him back in the game. Today I imagine him sitting in a bar smoking a cigar with Ronald Reagan and buying a round for the house every time a new EO drops. When he was here however there were a few things that he used to say that I loved because of their clarity. He always pointed out that illegal immigration was all about votes and that Democrats were hypocrites on the issue. He’d suggest that if it was real...

Four years ago today, just about this time, I was pottering about getting ready to guest-host The Rush Limbaugh Show when the telephone rang. It was Kraig Kitchin, his longtime friend (and head of the network that distributed his show), calling to break the news that Rush had died earlier that morning. Post-Limbaugh talk radio seems smaller to me than it once did - not just because Rush had a big personality, but because he managed to fit the flotsam and jetsam of the news cycle into the big picture. Whatever topic he'd alight on, he would enlarge, and connect...

Rest in Peace Patriot!..........

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel, did not have to be rushed through the confirmation process despite the recent terror attacks in New Orleans and Las Vegas. According to the Minnesota Democrat, the FBI is “very functional.” Host Jake Tapper said, “In light of the New Orleans terrorist attack, Trump allies are urging you and your colleagues in the Senate to move quickly on confirming the president elect’s national security team. You have signaled some opposition to Kash Patel serving as leader of the...

RUSH: You may remember — it seems like a long time now, maybe a year or more, maybe even longer than that. Every day, ladies and gentlemen — there were headlines in the newspapers all over the country about runaway SUVs doing this, driving themselves off of the sixth floor of parking garages, running off of interstate bridges, all kinds of things. They were running into each other, running over people. Of course, the point of the headline: ‘Runaway SUV!’ SUV this, SUV that, was part of the environmentalist wacko movement. They were furthering the agenda of the Sierra Club...

Watching the MNF game now and when seeing the Dallas QB Rush, it keeps hitting me that I miss El Rushbo May he be RIP....

The Upside of the Loss of Rush. What He Taught Us. How We Fill the Loss. We learned a lot with Rush. No ne has been able to fill his particular shoes. However he left us all with another gift. Up to 15 hours of empty audio hours a week and a need to be informed. And there are great interviewers and columnists ans pundits who are podcasting and streaming live. Everyday. I had a minimum lying used samsung tablet that I have placed on a stand. I installed Brave browser and have opened a number of websites that bring...

The tragedy that killed the Titan submersible crew in 2023 year may have been foreshadowed by a separate event years before its fatal dive. The US Coast Guard has released a new image of the vehicle, showing how the dome fell off after a dive in 2021. One of the private passengers on board during that dive described last week how several bolts holding the dome 'shot off like bullets' after the sub's nose hit the deck. The release of the new image adds to a catalogue of issues reported with the Titan in the years up to an implosion...

United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain said his union was “not going to rush” an endorsement for Vice President Harris after President Biden dropped out of the presidential race Sunday. The UAW in January endorsed Biden, who endorsed Harris as the Democratic presidential nominee Sunday after he exited the race amid concerns about his age and mental acuity following a disastrous debate at the the end of June. Several major labor unions have endorsed Harris since the announcement, including the AFL-CIO, the United Steelworkers, the American Federation of Teachers, the United Food and Commercial Workers and the International Brotherhood of...

I miss him so much.

El Rushbo on Phil Donahue in Sept 1991. It's amazing how consistently right Rush was back then on the topics we're still dealing with today. Miss hearing this guy so much.

Rush Limbaugh Radio Show, December 23, 2020.

Geddy Lee surprised a venue full of Rush fans on Thursday by marching out old friend and longtime band mate Alex Lifeson to help him traverse back through decades of shared memories. It was a rare opportunity to see the progressive rock legends in a semi-causal setting, sans guitars but armed with many punchlines, as the bassist closed out the North American leg of his "My Effin' Life" book tour at Massey Hall in Toronto. "Don't make me cry before I get started," he pleaded with Lifeson shortly after the Rush guitarist was revealed as the other half of the...

Here’s the version you were probably taught: The Pilgrims arrived here after an arduous trip across the Atlantic Ocean. They didn’t know why they were, had no idea what to do. They had nothing. The Indians took pity on them. The Indians saw them, and the Indians saved them. The Indians taught ’em how to do things they didn’t know how to do, like grow food, catch beavers, stuff like that. The Indians saved them, and the Pilgrims thanked them by growing a whole bunch of food and having this big feast. So, the story of Thanksgiving that’s taught is...
