As Mark Steyn so aptly said …
” … TALENT RETURNED TO GOD … “
I have the radio on as I’m reading this thread…..
What just came on?
“Bang a Gong” by T-Rex. Long time Rush theme song…..tears now streaming.
Can’t believe one comment.
President Trump as always, wonderful hearing his voice . For once Hannity did. It talk over him but segment could have been longer IMHO
We can’t stand to listen to Hannity. His content can be good but his whiny voice and not letting guests speak is a real turn off. We only watched him because Trump was his guest. Why Hannity bothers to have guests on is beyond me. He does the talking for them and all they do is affirm what he has already stated. He’s not a very sharp person either but still, he is one of the few that speaks out and established prior to this Stasi like cancel culture. I do wish Hannity would sit back and take some of the criticism seriously…..it’s not meant to be vicious.
I have to say, I hope they don’t give Rush’s spot to Hannity, although, no one can replace Rush.
I say just start replaying Rush’s shows from the beginning. We will have 33 more years of him.
What a treat that must be!
He was a fine man.
Instant history lesson.
Would be very interesting to see if they did this for a month, how many people would listen. I know I would. He was a Master Teacher.
I’d love to hear the old “Feminazi” updates and also the “tree-hugger environmentalist” updates with the chain saw revving in the background. They were awesome a funny.
The Gary Shandling(RIP) bits Rush used for years were great too.
“The Best of Rush,” indefinitely works for me.
And it would be a real history lesson for a lot of current listeners and newcomers. I started listening to Rush in the mid 80’s. I always wished that I could have sat down and shared a beer and a dinner with him. He was the shining light on the demoncrats insane, narcissistic, power grabbing criminality.
My prayer is that God will do as he always does, put the man best for the job in a position to do what is needed, when it is needed.
May be so.
I kept watching 4 programs on fox until they fired Lou Dobbs. Hannity was one, not that I really cared about his content, but loyalty to him because he had been loyal to The President.
I planned to watch Tucker & Hannity last night for their tributes to Rush. Wouldn’t you know it, the power went out, rolling blackout. I should have known Sundance would have it for me this morning. Thanks, Sundance!
Ned….”We can’t stand to listen to Hannity. His content can be good but his whiny voice and not letting guests speak is a real turn off.”
Ned, I noticed that about 20 years ago and turned him off. He is “unlistenable,” I am baffled he still has the ratings he has.
Ditto your comments re Hannity; but his talking over/monopolizing the dialogue with guests is his big negative; his big positive, IMO, is that he said he wouldn’t let the Russia Hoax die or be glossed over, and he kept his word in that regard, i.e., he kept on pounding it; otherwise, his “rank and file” theory of the Fed Agencies(primarily the FBI)is absurd, and, I think, thoroughly discredited, but he stays with it to his ultimate discredit. But, he’s one of ours, and I will support him otherwise, but won’t watch or listen to him.
Amen, Hannty’s FBI theory that only the top echelon, maybe 10 or 15 agents are crooked is totally naive. The FBI is 37,000 strong. I think the corruption goes far deeper. And no dimes to be ever dropped…C’mon man.
The people that the “elites” like to forget all about, the Forgotten Men & Women of America, love Rush and love President Trump.
We love Rush and we love President Trump for the same reasons: Because they love us right back. Because they fight for us. Because not only do they never forget about us, they always put us first.
Rest in Peace, Rush, we love you.
It is a sad day… when I saw this tweet from Bo Sneardley highlighted in a news article, I thought, well no remission is happening here….I don’t have a Twitter account and I don’t remember seeing Bo putting out a request like this before. He’s been Rush’s producer for decades. Rush’s employees worked for him for decades. He was loved by his employees too and the lack of turnover tells you something about Rush too.
A lot of the other talk show hosts, go through the headlines, with snarky remarks and that’s the show. Rush being more of an establishment person, had good contacts. Over the decades, they trusted him and would slip him information, knowing he wouldn’t give them away. Other talk hosts don’t have those long trusted relationships in place.
Sometimes he would annoy me like saying Megyn Kelly was a “nice” person – well yeah, when she was around Rush, I’m sure she was….She used people to get a head and very phony. She was the kind to butter people up to help her career which now seems very over.
Years ago, when he had a show in NYC, a friend would get tickets and we’d go. We usually wound up in the bleacher seats. It was always well attended. At the end of the taping, he’d stick around, each time, shake your hand and talk with you. He was always, nice, polite, never rushed you and similar to Trump an aggressive listener. He’s not replaceable. One less voice for us. I wouldn’t be surprised that if will power could make a difference, and that is why he lasted so long. He did love our country.
Aw…Snerdley. Thank you for always being by his side. I know there was great love between you two. God bless you, Mr. Snerdley!
James Golden aka Bo Snerdley…the man in the ifb questioning Rush from time to time. They were very close, praying for Bo.
May God bless Rush, his family and his numerous fans that love him and will miss him too. We listened to him for years. We took him for granted before his cancer announcement. He will be a tremendous void in their lives and others that listened to him over the years. Rush was truly a fine man with tongue and cheek humor – “talent on loan from God” is a example of that. Some people misunderstood that. He was a very humble and generous man.
Rush did his charity work quietly with some announced when the proceeds for a book or something like that were donated to drum up support. Personal charity was handled quietly as it should be. Trump is a lot like that too. People we know, that work for Trump at one of his international golf courses, say the same thing about him – humble, great sense of humor, generous and very kind. Who I am thinking of has worked for him for nearly 25 years. He also has low employee turnover. Those two are wonderful people! That was very thoughtful of President Trump to give him an earned high honor of the Medal of Freedom.
I kind of understand where Rush was coming from. I have cancer too, however I have not been labeled terminal yet.. Through robotic surgery it is removed and I get my three month check ups, now four months but I can count on surgery. I am schedule for another surgery on 2/24. This time I may have turned the page on slow growth and noninvasive. This time it still looks like slow growth and invasive. It has been mutating. It is also popping up elsewhere that I have to have looked into once I get past this location. I was told in advance that it had a 95% return rate and it has turned out to be true. I have only had one clean checkup since 2019 when first diagnosed. The pathology report will confirm whatever it is this time.
I have other health issues but not life threatening as cancer is. I also understand how you learn to make peace with whatever God has in mind. they nearly lost me twice in 2019. It was through internal hemorrhaging. The doctor had wasn’t my first choice and he had to call another doctor I go to now to stop the internal bleeding. Our standing joke is how we met – at the operating table. I’ll never forget that event. I looked like death. Palm up and using my thumb to press down on it, showed no change in color when I let up on it. It shocked even me! Normally when you press down, your palm pales and the color returns – that time it didn’t.
God is good. I am surrounded by people who genuinely love and care for and about me. It doesn’t get better than that. All the money and material things in the world can’t replace that. They have no agenda either. My faith is stronger than ever and I would not look back if I was to join wonderful people like Rush and others. However it goes, I am in excellent hands. God is always in control and heaven will be even more wonderful. I see no need to fight and stay for the looming nightmare as we become a communist country. That totally saddens me. I worry about my kids. Thankfully they are adults and attended a good conservative Christian school, so we will be able to spend eternity together too. They understand what is going on.
I don’t like what I see on the horizon and because I am expensive to have around, the imbecile Biden, through Ezekiel Emanuel and others, will find a way to lessen or deny me coverage for illegals and refugees. Already they are denying me a CT and my doctor has to fill out a new form that focuses on age. That information is already in my file but he was very nice about it and apologized for some of the new questions asked and I will l have to sign it each time we meet.. I don’t know if you are familiar with him but he is into age eugenics, bioethics and oncology. After age 30 he sees you as less valuable and by 75 in his opinion, you are worthless and should voluntarily consider giving up because your “quality of life” doesn’t meet his expectations. He’s a senior advisor to the imbecile and the chief architect behind Obamacare. Yes he does want to bring back death panels. If you are not familiar with him, look him up and his views on his Complete Lives system. He is a monster…. He is the brother of Rahm Emanuel. There is another brother, Ari and he runs a “alent agency in Hollyweird…..
Anyway, I was in a reflective mood today and will stop here. Blessings to all.
My husband died 5 months ago. I took care of him for 5 years . During that time I was constantly harassed my so called professionals to put him in a “nursing home”,to the point that I finally said that if you all keep this up ,you are going to be sued. Finally they shut up.
Sandra, Bless You. I hope you are taking some time for yourself now. I know what that entailed and how hard it is on the mind, body and soul. Don’t neglect your health and your needs.
Many I know in your situation have been further captive to the China Virus lockdowns. All the things they put off during their partner’s illness, and can now attend to, have been further hampered by the lockdowns.
I know a woman who needed cataract surgery while she was caring for her husband.. After he died she still couldn’t get it because of China Virus. HORRIBLE crap they have put us all through.
Take care of yourself. 🙂
I am sincerely sorry to hear that. Harassment is the last thing you need under heart breaking and difficult circumstances like that. I so admire your steadfastness. Nursing homes are not what they used to be. They often hire the wrong kinds of people because they work for less and don’t provide the “care” you’d want for a loved one…. It’s best to keep loved ones close and if need be ask for family, close friends or even people at church to help if you need help.
I hope you have a good support system to help you through this transition. Your husband was so fortunate to have a wonderful wife. May God bless you and help you through this void in your life. I will keep you in my prayers. Many blessings to you. What you did wasn’t easy and God will bless you for it.
Thank you for sharing what what you did. Very valuable insight.
Blessings to you and your family.
My father passed a few years back, from 2 cancers at the same time. He chose to go quietly into the night, and I can only imagine the conversations he is having with Paul Harvey and Rush about now. I have really missed having the opportunity to share Preasident TRUMP with him. He would have so loved the man for all he did for our country, and especially in such a short time. I think energy independence would have been his all time great.
Ned, bless you and your family. You go when you are needed on the other side and be proud of the work you did here. I know that your children will be proud.
Ned, thank you for your reflections and God Bess you.
I was struck by how many people have called Rush warm. Just so you know, that is how they make us here in the Midwest.
We may like our Bibles and our guns, but we will share if you need them. We are a very generous people and we love our neighbors. We have all colors, have for a long, long time, and as long as you are not freeloading on us, we’re good with you. Do your thing and we’ll do ours.
Mark Levin’s interview queued up next after this Hannity-POTUS TRUMP tribute. Mark says Rush was his best friend. Sweet interview.
Purr-fect Taffy3.
Taffy3, thanks for posting. Patton is one of my historical favorites and one we owe so much. This quote fits many and certainly Rush. The loss brings much hurt, and we must remember the joy he brought us.
Another tribute from Mark Levin.
Mark Levin Pays Tribute to Rush Limbaugh: ‘He made it cool to be a patriot’

when caterpillar and other heavy equipment manufacturers started putting radios in machines, 1995 or so, rush limbaugh gave thousands of operators,union and non union, a college education in american greatness. 3 hours every afternoon for twenty years should add up to some credits.
Did you know that the 1930 U.S. Census asked households if the home had a radio? 🙂
https://www.archives.gov/research/census/1930/general-faqs.htm
Here are the stats:
https://www.census.gov/history/www/homepage_archive/2015/march_2015.html
my grandparents owned a hotel in a small town. when roosevelt started his fireside chats,my father said that the hotel sitting room would fill with the traveling salesmen and others in the hotel. he would get one of them to play checkers. he could never get to the end of a game because the fireside chat would come to an end and the room would burst into a fight. my grandfather was an alf landon supporter. 🙂
gary, a much better education than you would ever get in a college lecture hall. The Rush-More College of American History & Politics Degree. It was FREE too.
Yes. And don’t forget all those commercial and owner-operator truck drivers everywhere across the nation, since most all trucks had at least an AM radio…
Can’t count how many times a caller told Rush he was listening in his truck…..
i would have never had a chance to call in. digging main line 10 -25 feet deep,guys under me. but i can guarantee you that union operators didn’t vote democrat after a year of rush.
I have got to hand it to Hannity he called DJT President Trump and Mr. President.
Living With Dogs, I noted that, Kudos to Hannity!!!
As it should be. I know without a doubt that Obiden didn’t win.
This is the real Donald Trump so many people who know him speak of, soft-spoken, warm, gracious and kind. He was paying tribute to a friend and it was so good to hear his voice.
Who can forget how Rush turned the tables on Harry Reid and his stupid letter?
It ended up being auctioned off for around a million dollars. My memory fails me on the exact amount.
2.1million.
I mean, was that epic or what? That was the most fun to listen to … Rush had a great laugh. What a ride we’ve all been on with him. I feel really sorry for people who never got to experience that.
I will always remember ” Dan’s Bake Sale “. :My son started listening to Rush before me in 1989. Such a hoot…We all love you Rush as you look through the cloudless sky of love wishes floating up to you and God Almighty…
Yes! I remember that event clearly, It was so spontaneous yet attracted thousands of people from near and far…. Here’s a link to the Wayback machine…..
https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2008/08/01/20th_anniversary_flashback_the_dan_s_bake_sale_phenomenon/
2.1 million and Rush matched the amount. It was all donated to a wonderful charity.
“The conservative radio talk-show host turned an inflammatory letter written by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and signed by 41 of his fellow Democrats into a more than $4.2 million gold mine for the kids of Marines and law enforcement personnel killed in the line of duty,”
https://www.foxnews.com/story/limbaugh-letter-fetches-2-1-million-on-ebay
Rush loved and respected Trump because Trump has the same strong conservative values. My prediction: they made a deal, and Trump will be assuming control of the EIB Network to continue Rush’s work of growing conservatism.
Found in the bin…. 🙁
I have not watched Back-stabbing Fox News since election night and will never watch them again. Also Boycotting local Fox “news” stations.
They should give Curtis Sliwa a shot at Rush’s spot on the radio. The guy can talk the talk, he’s street smart and he’s entertaining.
Hannity was hte first to follow Trump.
Hannity got both Ted Cruz and Mark Levin and Bill O’Reilley to change their minds about Trump
Hannity NEVER stopped the most important pro life coverage that ever happened and which foreshadowed today’s genocidal mindset.
Hannity was across hte street EVERY DAY supporting and speaking to TErri Schiavo’s family as they begged and fought to get her pulled out of a clinic that both the presiding judge and the adulterous husband jointly had invested. She was starved in a way that any animal rights activist would have screamed to the rafters about and the evidence of doctors who had first hand knowledge that she had been responsive to the therapy…that the 2 million given to her husband for her care had covered…which he stopped after 6 months at which point his mistress moved in and he relegated his wife to hellish existence.
He also got Bill O ‘REilly’s respect after O’Reilly caved to the cancel culture, but Hannity fought back and won.
You who sneer at him remind me more of Never Trumpers than anybody else and I doubt if any of you have a pair even a fraction the size of his.
this is the problem with … not only this nation but the entire world … instead of relying on the “CREATOR” for our guidance … we rely on the ‘created’ … and doing so … this is what has gotten mankind into the mess we are in … “HE” tells us in no uncertain terms to stay away from this world and it’s ways but we continue to wallow in the filth … expecting to find an answer … when the answer has always been there … we pay ‘lip service’ to our “CREATOR” with cheap ‘platitudes and empty promises ‘ and walk always contrary to “HIS” commandments and guidance …we were put here for one reason … to learn to grow in godly character , yet we fail because we seek the ’empty words’ of men … not the true and lasting words of our “CREATOR” …unfortunately it’s going to take with mankind … the only thing we truly understand …. “HE” is removing all of the blessings that “HE” has given to this nation ( and the world) and turn mankind over to the ‘god’ of this world … who wants nothing better that to extenguish ‘humanity’ from this planet … for us to learn a hard lesson … “HE” runs the show …”HE” calls the shots… and until we learn this …out future is “BLEAK” indeed … it’s all spelled out in “HIS” instruction book for humanity … ignore it at your own peril … for me … i chose to live , breath and die with “HIM” running my life … and in the end …eternal life as the reward in “HIS” kingdom … not man’s …….
