Conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh's final Facebook post two weeks before he died was a swipe at President Joe Biden - as he confessed in what would end up being his last show that he wasn't sure if he would make it. Limbaugh, the radio icon and 'voice of American conservatism', died on Wednesday, aged 70, following his year-long battle with lung cancer. Limbaugh, who was diagnosed with Stage IV advanced lung cancer back in February 2020, hosted his last radio show on February 2 during which he revealed another host was on standby in case his health deteriorated.'Well, my friends, that's it. Yet another excursion into broadcast excellence
The Nelson County Republican Party wrote Senator Mitch McConnell on Tuesday demanding he immediately resign from his leadership position with the Republican Party’s caucus in the United States Senate.This comes after McConnell’s comments on Saturday and an editorial in the Wall Street Journal attacking and smearing President Donald Trump.Trump won Nelson County in Kentucky 67.5% to 30.9% in the 2020 election.Nelson County Chairman Don Thrasher pointed out McConnell’s “complete and total disdain for the will of your constituents” for the reason for the letter.
Donald Trump has speculated that Joe Biden is either lying or 'mentally gone' after the president on Tuesday night said his administration arrived to find no COVID-19 vaccines available. Trump, who on Wednesday broke his silence to give a series of interviews marking the death of Rush Limbaugh, told Newsmax Biden made 'a very dumb statement' about the vaccines.(Snip) Trump pointed out that Biden himself was vaccinated before his January 20 inauguration. 'Long before January 20,' said Trump. 'He made the statement that we had no vaccine. Literally, quote, we had no vaccine. He is getting lit up on that one.

California, home to Hollywood, may be where cancel culture strikes loudest and most viciously. But one Republican lawmaker in the Golden State hopes to strike back against an ideology that is poisoning honest political debate and ruining careers and lives.State Sen.

ALBANY — Democrats in the state Senate are ready to move forward with a measure to curb Gov. Cuomo’s sweeping pandemic powers.
Lawmakers are preparing to pass a measure that will strip the governor of the wide-ranging executive authority granted to him last year as the COVID crisis began.
“I think everyone understands where we were back in March and where we are now,” Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D-Yonkers) said in a statement late Wednesday. “We certainly see the need for quick response but also want to move toward a system of increased oversight, and review.”
Earlier today, radio legend Rush Limbaugh passed away at the age of 70 after a hard fought battle with cancer. For decades, Limbaugh engaged his audience with humor, knowledge and a love for our great country.From 1992-1996, Rush even had his own TV show where he often cracked hilarious jokes that made the audience howl. (Think of it as a much much better and funnier version of “The Daily Show”)On Twitter, “The Columbia Bugle” posted some hilarious flashback clips from El Rushbo’s show, and they are sure to make you laugh (and maybe cry).“Do you realize how frustrating it is for me to have been so right, for so long,

ALBANY — The FBI and the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn have launched an investigation that is examining, at least in part, the actions of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's coronavirus task force in its handling of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities during the pandemic, the Times Union has learned.
The probe by the U.S. attorney's office in the Eastern District of New York is apparently in its early stages and is focusing on the work of some of the senior members of the governor's task force, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter who is not authorized to comment publicly.

KATHRYN: Hello, everyone. I know that I am most certainly not the Limbaugh that you tuned in to listen to today. I, like you, very much wish Rush was behind this golden microphone right now, welcoming you to another exceptional three hours of broadcasting. For over 32 years, Rush has cherished you, his loyal audience, and always looked forward to every single show. It is with profound sadness I must share with you directly that our beloved Rush--my wonderful husband--passed away this morning due to complications from lung cancer.
On Tuesday evening, President Joe Biden traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to participate in a CNN Presidential Town Hall — his first as President of the United States. Speaking with CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, Biden fielded questions from audience members, some of whom voted for him and some of whom did not. In a similar fashion to Biden’s television appearances while on the campaign trail, and the first days of his administration, the town hall event was dripping with falsehoods and misleading arguments.Here is a breakdown
White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters Wednesday that President Joe Biden would support a study on whether descendants of slavery in the United States should receive reparations.(Tweet/Video) A transcript is as follows: REPORTER: The president during the campaign supported a study for reparations.

“The greatest threat to American society today… is coming from the diversity, equity, inclusion industry,” warns retired Princeton University and Vanderbilt University Professor and author Carol Swain. “It is steeped in critical race theory which is Marxist. It divides people,” the professor added in an appearance on The Ingraham Angle.“When you think about what is taking place on college campuses and also now in K-12, children are being bullied, they’re being shamed. Teachers are being encouraged to teach nonsense, and they may justify it by saying it is fighting racism, it’s helping racial and ethnic minorities; it’s really harming everyone’s child,”
On Wednesday afternoon, the wife of conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh announced that his advanced-stage lung cancer had taken his life. Unfortunately, within mere minutes of the news, several left-wing media outlets felt that they couldn’t report on Limbaugh’s death without first denouncing him as a racist, divisive, drug-addled bigot. MSNBC’s race-baiting reporter Geoff Bennett was perhaps one of the most slanderous of Limbaugh’s profound legacy. The correspondent's nasty prerecorded obituary of Limbaugh aired roughly halfway through Andrea Mitchell Reports

In a way-too-early poll, Politico found more Republicans want Donald Trump Junior as their presidential nominee in '24 than want Mitt Romney of Michigan, Massachusetts, Utah, and Cucamonga.
The poll asked 645 Republicans, "If the 2024 Republican primary were being held today, for whom would you vote?"
53% said Donald Trump, 12% said Mike Pence, 6% said Trump Jr., and 6% said Nikki Haley.
Mittens and Ted Cruz each got 4%, followed by Marco Rubio and Mike Pompeo at 2%, with everyone else getting 1% or less. The others were Josh Hawley, Tom Cotton, Tim Scott, Kristi Noem, Larry Hogan, and Rick Scott.Ron DeSantis did not make the list.
A chimpanzee, several monkeys, lemurs and other animals have died after a Texas primate sanctuary lost power amid a brutal winter storm pounding the southern U.S. this week. Staff and volunteers at Primarily Primates were trying to evacuate the facility when they found about a dozen dead animals, the San Antonio-area nonprofit said Wednesday. One of them was 58-year-old Violet, the sanctuary’s oldest chimp. “Every animal matters to us and we are devastated,” said Priscilla Feral, president of Friends of Animals, which manages the 78-acre facility in Bexar County. The sanctuary lost power early Monday morning as a result of the state’s rotating outages,

Statues of Presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and William McKinley, as well as the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, were among the 40 public statues and other commemorative markers identified on a list from Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration on Wednesday for further review as part of “a racial healing and historical reckoning project” started last summer. (Snip) Not all 40 monuments will be taken down, city officials said, but they merit further discussion. It remains unclear whether the city will bring back the Columbus statues, as Lightfoot suggested.
Congress held its first hearing on reparations for slavery since the May 2020 death of George Floyd, which reignited the Black Lives Matter movement.
Members of the Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties met over Zoom Wednesday to discuss H.R. 40, which aims to 'establish a commission to study and consider a national apology and proposal for reparations for the institution of slavery.' Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, who's spearheading the effort, argued her case with images, holding up pictures of a beaten slave and lynched black Americans.

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday gave his first post-White House TV interview to remember radio host Rush Limbaugh after his death at age 70 from cancer.Trump said in the Fox News interview that he spoke with Limbaugh “three or four days ago” before he died of Stage 4 lung cancer.“Three or four days ago, I called him,” Trump said. “His fight was very, very courageous and he was very, very sick and, you know, from diagnosis on. It was just something that was not going to be beat, but you wouldn’t know it.”Trump added that Limbaugh “told me he was married to an angel.”
Florida GOP Rep. Byron Donalds is urging The New York Stock Exchange to leave Lower Manhattan for Florida. Donalds argued such a move would benefit the exchange because Florida has no tax on stock trades.

A state lawmaker from Queens says Gov. Andrew Cuomo threatened that he’d be “destroyed” if he didn’t help contain the damage over Cuomo’s cover-up of nursing home deaths from COVID-19. Assemblyman Ron Kim (D-Queens) on Wednesday said he got a phone call from the governor on Thursday night, shortly after The Post exclusively revealed how secretary to the governor Melissa de Rosa privately admitted that Cuomo’s administration withheld death data for fear it would be “used against us” by federal prosecutors.(Snip) During the conversation, Kim said, Cuomo warned him, “You have not seen my wrath.

A Queens politician who raised more than $35,000 to replace a vandalized community refrigerator accepted the contributions through her campaign account, raising questions about the transparency of her charity effort.

The bumbling CEO of ERCOT, the energy agency in Texas responsible for the deadly blackouts that have driven people to burn furniture and accidentally poison themselves with carbon monoxide just to stay warm, said on Tuesday night he had no idea when power would be restored but claimed his agency managed to avoid an even bigger catastrophe by switching it off.(Snip) Now, furious Texans want to know why that infrastructure wasn't properly prepared, especially after a similar storm in 2011 caused the same problems.

Conservative talk show radio pioneer Rush Limbaugh, whose work influenced a generation of American politics, has reportedly died at the age of 70, succumbing to advanced lung cancer.(Snip)To the end Limbaugh publicly credited his faith in Jesus with getting him through his very difficult battle with cancer."I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Scientific-minded dissidents frequently compare today’s orthodoxy that the cause of whatever ails blacks is—and, indeed, must be—white racism to discarded scientific constructs such as phlogiston in chemistry and aether in physics. But the most informative comparison might be to the long, unfortunate hold of the miasma theory of disease on medical thought.
In 2021, the conventional wisdom is that while you almost never see white racism, it’s always out there somewhere, everywhere, ruining the lives of blacks, lowering their test scores and raising their murder rates. It’s as if white people implicitly exude a poison from their pores that harms only blacks, due to their being genetically different, although, (Snip) genetic

“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer” is a maxim of realpolitik and other matters where the stakes are high. To be effective in practice, an enemy invited into one’s organization needs to be kept truly close—that is, monitored carefully and always held accountable.

Associating climate change, normally connected with roasting heat, with an unusual winter storm that has crippled swaths of Texas and brought freezing temperatures across the southern US can seem counterintuitive. But scientists say there is evidence that the rapid heating of the Arctic can help push frigid air from the north pole much further south, possibly to the US-Mexico border.(Snip) “The current conditions in Texas are historical, certainly generational,” said Judah Cohen, the director of seasonal forecasting at Atmospheric and Environmental Research. “But this can’t be hand-waved away as if it’s entirely natural. This is happening not in spite of climate change,
President Biden said during a CNN town hall Tuesday night that Black and Hispanic Americans are getting vaccinated for the coronavirus at a slower rate than other demographics due, in part, to the fact that “not everybody” in those communities “know how to get online.” “A lot of people don’t know how to register,” the president told CNN host Anderson Cooper. “Not everybody in the community, in the Hispanic and the African American community, particularly in rural areas that are distant and/or inner-city districts, know how to use—know how to get online to determine how to get in line
Devastating. There are no words to adequately reflect the sadness in this day. Our beloved Rush Limbaugh has passed away after a battle with lung cancer.
Wings of angels dear friend,…. on wings of angels. Let us mourn deeply! Rush Limbaugh, the monumentally influential media icon who transformed talk radio and politics in his decades behind the microphone, helping shape the modern-day Republican Party, died Wednesday at the age of 70 after a battle with lung cancer, his family announced.
Limbaugh’s wife, Kathryn, made the announcement on his radio show.
President Biden on Tuesday night distanced himself from previous comments by White House press secretary Jen Psaki that the administration's goal for its first 100 days was to have more than 50% of schools open at least one day per week.
That goal was criticized as unambitious as it had essentially already been met by school districts partially opening on their own before Biden's time in office. There was also speculation that the White House was trying to avoid upsetting teachers unions, which are a major force in the Democratic Party and have in many cases strongly opposed school reopening efforts.
President Biden is dismissing the genocide against the Uighur population in China, dubbing the mass internment a “different norm”—despite the State Department this month responding to “atrocities” in the camps, following reports of systemic rape and torture. The commander-in-chief made the remarks after being asked during his CNN town hall Tuesday evening about his recent conversation with his Chinese counterpart, starting his response by relaying Xi’s justification for the abuses. “If you know anything about Chinese history, it has always been, the time when China has been victimized by the outer world is when they haven’t been unified at home,”
Rush Limbaugh, whose wife Kathryn confirmed on Wednesday that he died at 70 after a yearlong and very public battle against lung cancer, was a college dropout when he began his combustible radio career, repeatedly losing gigs as a deejay and news-talk host; he spent much of 1974 jobless and living in his parents’ basement in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
Almost five decades later, Limbaugh kept a fleet of black luxury sedans in his garage, including a $450,000 Maybach 57S, traveled on his private Gulfstream 550 jet, and owned a fabulous oceanfront Palm Beach estate befitting America’s biggest and most politically influential AM radio star—and surely among the richest

The flu season has been virtually nonexistent this season—with the lowest rate of hospitalization ever since that data has been tallied. Just 165 flu-related hospitalizations were recorded between Oct. 1 and Feb. 6, according to recent information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
That’s compared to roughly 400,000 people who were hospitalized during the 2019-2020 flu season, which also saw 22,000 deaths. “This is lower than average for this point in the season and lower than rates for any season since routine data collection began in 2005, including the low severity 2011-12 season,” the CDC said.
There were questions from Democrats, Republicans, and independents for Joe Biden at his first presidential town hall Tuesday night. Then there was a little girl in the second grade who, with help from her mother, asked when children might be able to get the vaccine.
