Rush Limbaugh Show' comes to an end as 'inspired' new hosts get set to launch new era

Original Article

Posted By: Muguy, 6/18/2021 2:50:34 PM

On August 1, 1988, Missouri-born radio commentator Rush Limbaugh launched "The Rush Limbaugh Show" on a handful of radio affiliates. On February 2, 2021 –unbeknownst at the time to his now-650 affiliates and millions of listeners –Limbaugh took to the airwaves for the last time. The beloved, yet at times controversial, radio titan died February 17 at age 70 after a battle with lung cancer. On Friday, "The Rush Limbaugh Show" – which began when Ronald Reagan was president, Checkpoint Charlie divided democracy from autocracy, and the Soviet Union still existed – will end in the only form it has known since.

Comments:

The end of an Era. As Rush often teased "The Era of Limbaugh". He blazed the trail for the explosion of talk radio, and the many hosts which came from his setting the example with winning ratings for three decades. He truly was "The Greatest of All Time". In the early years, he was brash and irreverant, and controversial, but no one can question his sphere of influence and importance in spreading the Truth in this age or media propaganda and manipulation.

I still miss him every day, but I am glad he did not live to see the destruction Biden has wrought on this country. Nonetheless, I am glad that others will take his time slot. The past few months of guest hosts and replays has become tiring and not worthy of Rush's legacy. There is no one who will ever replace him!

Yes, the end of an era. The mourning period must come to an end and the infamous intro music to the Rush Limbaugh program must now be retired as must the long line of guest hosts. Best of luck to Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Guys, just be yourselves and see where the show takes you. And don't try to be the new Rush Limbaughs. Because no one can.

I am underwhelmed. I will always miss Rush. I hope some radio channel or internet site will run his old programs at some point. What is true and sensible will always be appreciated, like the Undeniable Truths of Life.

Another sad day without Rush. He was just the best and I can’t put it any better than previous posters. I was very disappointed to see the Paul Shanklin will not be part of the new group. His parodies were absolutely the best.

One of the great pleasures I enjoyed during my many years as an arbitrator, which required miles and miles of driving, was to find Rush on a radio station, no matter where I was. He was one of a kind.

We had to move 3 times due to work, we'd move to cities where I didn't know a soul, but all I needed to do was turn on the radio at Noon and I was home, listening to my buddy, laughing and learning everyday. I miss him very very much. I'm sad that he is gone but oh so grateful to have had him in my life even if it was over the airways. Mega Dittos El Rushbo.

Yes, it’s time to move on. I cannot listen to old clips of Rush. It hurts too much. We lost something that was priceless. Rush was the leader of the conservative movement, and his loss is almost unbearable. I have to believe he is watching over us, helping in ways that we could never comprehend.

I think we owe Ken, Todd and Brett a debt of thanks for the yeomen's work they did over the last few very sad months. And I hope everyone here and across the fruited plain gives these two new fellows a fair hearing. I'm sure they are going to be working very hard to provide a quality show, and believe that is what our beloved Rush would want us to do.

There will NEVER be another Rush!!!!!! And here in the East at least, Buck Sexton sells his name for everything from coffee to........I can name about five products he "endorses" so as to trust in him......? Can't imagine what EIB is thinking....I know they need to fill the space but the thought that these two can do it is beyond ludicrous. Again, there will NEVER be another Rush!!!! Miss him terribly.

The Senate voted to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed on H.R. 7691, the Ukraine Supplemental Aid Package. The motion passed 81-11. This means that the Senate can begin debate on the Ukraine aid package. The legislation would provide over $20 billion in military supplies and roughly $20 billion in humanitarian, economic, and other aid to Ukraine. While Senate Republicans and Democrats overwhelmingly voted to advance the legislation, many populist-leaning Republicans such as Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Rand Paul (R-KY) have opposed the legislation.

The White House announced late Friday that it would further postpone the release of more documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, pointing to the "significant impact" of the Covid-19 pandemic. President Joe Biden issued a memo that said the national archivist recommended he "'direct two public releases of the information that has ultimately 'been determined to be appropriate for release to the public.'" The first will be an "interim release" later this year, with a second, "more comprehensive release in late 2022," the memo said. The memo said that the Covid-19 pandemic has slowed down the process of reviewing whether redactions continue to meet the "statutory standard."

House Republicans on Monday night offered a detailed critique of what they called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “socialist wish list” in House Democrats’ $2.5 trillion proposal for responding to the coronavirus outbreak. “Speaker Pelosi unveiled legislation aimed at exploiting the COVID-19 public health crisis by attempting to force the inclusion of a socialist wish list of policies that have nothing to do with the public health and economic emergency,” said House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, Louisiana Republican. After poring over the 1,400-page proposal, Mr. Scalise offered his characterization of Republicans’ objections to the following items:

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s new stimulus bill would mandate nationwide “ballot harvesting,” allowing party operatives to return other people’s ballots to polling places without “any limit” on the number of ballots. “Ballot harvesting” was legalized in California in 2016, and first used in the 2018 midterm elections. It allows anyone to drop off someone else’s mail-in ballot at a polling station. There is no process for vetting or verifying those delivering the ballots — no background checks or identification requirements. Democrats dropped hundreds of thousands of ballots off at polling stations in 2018, helping Democrats as they flipped seven Republican seats.

Senate Democrats are trying to use a national emergency to force taxpayers to fund some of their most controversial and radical policies. They have recommended hundreds of millions of dollars in pork barrel funding — including $35 million in funding for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. It’s on page 76 of the massive document. Click here to read for yourself. Democrats did not explain how funding a fancy theater would help stop the spread of the coronavirus. But that amount pales in comparison to the $300 million allocated for the National Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities.

The decision which had not previously been reported, struck some space industry insiders as a highly unusual expenditure

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases director used an interview on CNN to reveal he does not want to serve under the former president if he is re-elected in 2024 and would likely resign. “If Trump were to return to the White House as President, and COVID was still a threat or there was some other public health emergency, would you have confidence in his ability to deal with a pandemic of this nature?

Fairfax County’s school board has long prided itself on leading the way for the nation in cutting-edge education policy and curriculum. As the tenth-largest district in the nation, it holds disproportionate sway over other school boards. In 2015, the Fairfax school board blindsided parents with changes to its non-discrimination policy, followed by a sweeping expansion of the sex-ed curriculum and new rules governing student offenses and penalties.
