Remembering Rush Limbaugh

 

Megan Fox at PJ Media marked the one-year anniversary of Rush Limbaugh’s passing:

Kathryn Limbaugh took Fox News into the home she shared with the great Rush Limbaugh for an exclusive interview one year after the death of the talk radio giant. “Fox & Friends” co-host Ainsley Earhardt interviewed Kathryn about her husband’s legacy in a touching segment that will not leave a dry eye across Dittohead Nation.

Kathryn has been gracious in sharing her grief with Rush’s audience, who also feel that they’ve lost a family member. “I’m doing well for the most part,” said Kathryn. “It’s been very difficult, but knowing how many people are out there praying for me, praying for Rush, I very much think this was the nation’s loss.”

Never-before-seen footage of Rush’s home focused on beautiful American memorabilia collected over the years. “To me, it really represents Rush in so many ways, not because of the grandness of it,” she said. “That’s not really him. It represents success, American freedom.” One such reminder is an American flag hanging in the foyer that was given to Rush by American service-members who flew it on five different aircraft carriers before giving it to him.

Kathryn noted that receiving the diagnosis of cancer was a blessing in that they were given some time to prepare and also to hear some of the tributes before Rush was gone, like the memorable speech President Donald Trump gave honoring Rush’s life with the presidential medal of freedom. “One of the perks, I guess, of having a diagnosis like this is that you have a little bit of time to hear some of the wonderful eulogies,” she said.

When Rush died, Kathryn got on the radio that day and broke the news to the audience. “I wanted them to hear that devastating news in the most familiar way possible. I knew this audience would remember where they were when they lost their hero,” she said.  . . .

Medical censorship

 

JD Rucker at NOQ interviews Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, who knows first-hand that the stats of adverse reactions to the COVID "vaccine" are being suppressed by the medical community:  

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden: After Over a Million Jabbed, Why Is Methodist Hospital Refusing to Release Adverse Reaction Data?

Who ever thought we’d reach a moment in American history when doctors were forced to get permission from government to prescribe safe and effective drugs to their ailing patients? It never crossed my mind until the powers-that-be started playing their hand in 2020, doubling-down in 2021, and advancing medical tyranny beyond lunacy in 2022.

I had an excellent discussion with Dr. Mary Talley Bowden on the topic during the latest episode of The Midnight Sentinel. She’s a wealth of information about the dynamics between hospitals and patients. But she’s one of very few doctors who are speaking out against vaxx-pushing hospitals because she owns her own practice. She doesn’t have a boss and cannot be fired. Her only real concern is losing her license to practice, and there are many people who are trying to make that happen.

Is she delivering bad care to her patients? No. The complaints are coming in from people she’s never met, people who have objections to her not embracing the accepted Covid narrative about treatments and universal vaccinations.

One of her biggest critics is the huge hospital system in Houston, Methodist Hospital. They removed her privileges and have smeared her continuously, ramping up when she made her plight public. They even denied her request for information, which a non-profit organization like Methodist cannot do. Now, she’s suing.

Of particular interest is the data regarding adverse reactions to the Covid shots. Like other hospitals across the country, they are refusing to release data about it. It’s a component of informed consent to have accurate information about the jabs. For Methodist and other hospitals to continue injecting people while withholding extremely important information about adverse reactions is despicable.

Yup, despicable.  The interview text follows; click here.

UPDATE: Mike Gibbons, candidate for U.S. Senate

 

Mike Gibbons 

Kate Scanlon at The Washington Examiner has an update on the upcoming Ohio primary for U.S. Senate: 

Businessman Mike Gibbons is rising in early polls of Ohio’s crowded Republican Senate primary, and he is seeking to introduce himself to voters as the pro-Trump candidate in the race, according to a new advertisement campaign he will launch Tuesday.

Former President Donald Trump has yet to make an endorsement in the race to succeed retiring GOP Sen. Rob Portman, but several Republican candidates are actively courting that endorsement in a race that has largely been driven by the candidates’ level of fealty to Trump. Author J.D. Vance recently promoted an endorsement from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a controversial freshman lawmaker from Georgia who is a close ally of Trump.

A pair of polls showed Gibbons making significant gains with voters in recent days. One internal campaign poll showed him in the lead with 23%, with Josh Mandel, the former Ohio treasurer and the party’s 2012 Senate nominee, trailing him at 10.8%. An independent poll from Co/Efficient also found Gibbons in the lead but with Mandel in closer proximity.

Read more here.  This primary race is important, and one of my concerns is that at least one Ohio liberty group is endorsing Josh Mandel.  I posted a few months ago on why I think Mandel is not a good choice for Ohio (“Josh Mandel Just Another Dishonest RINO” ~ click here).  I would expect him to be no different than Rob Portman in office.  

Check out Mike Gibbons's website here. 

Mr. Mandel with William Kristol.  Not a good look. 

Mr. Mandel’s early fund-raising letter attempted to brand him as a Trump-supporter.  After what I infer was some push-back, a subsequent fund-raiser instead piggy-backed on the “America First” slogan:

Anybody fooled?

Our Founding Fathers Would All Be Driving Trucks Today

 

JB Shurk at American Thinker takes a longer look at COVID tyranny and the trucker’s Freedom Convoy.  His article, “Our Founding Fathers Would All Be Driving Trucks Today,” will put a smile on your face.  He begins:

For two years, Western governments have embraced COVID-1984 totalitarianism, and now a group of minutemen truckers is having its say.  It is a recurring theme throughout history that the fight for freedom doesn't really begin until the light of its flame is nearly extinguished.  Then something almost magical happens: the human need for liberty ignites and starts spreading out of control.  Everywhere around us today, Big Tech and Big Government are building monuments to a future of technocratic authoritarianism they envision as inevitable, yet whispers calling for freedom are turning into shouts.

Is freedom on the march?  Freedom is always on the march when it looks almost licked.  What started as gross government overreach may well end up as an army of truckers bulldozing over a police state that once seemed certain.

Truckers have done this before ~ UPDATED

 

I don’t usually link to articles at National Review Online, as many contributors have too often veered off course for those with conservative values.  However, today, Michael Brendan Dougherty puts the truckers’ Freedom Convoy in Canada in an historical perspective, and it may be cause for a bit more optimism.  Here’s a start:

When you look up at Canada and see truckers — most of them independent owner-operators of their rigs — suddenly coalescing into a powerful protest movement, making the government afraid, complaining of inflation, and getting condemned by the Teamsters, you have to realize it’s all happened before.

Truckers have done this before. Throughout the 1970s, trucker strikes in the U.S. led to snarled traffic for days and weeks in the American Midwest. Truck driver J. W. Edwards felt squeezed by the ongoing energy wars, which were raising gas prices, forcing truckers to stop constantly to only half-refuel, and cutting into what was a modest, but steady, living. Edwards stopped in the middle of I-80 in Pennsylvania, got on his CB radio, and started explaining to other truckers listening in that he’d had it. Within an hour, hundreds of other big-rig drivers joined him, idling their vehicles and putting Pennsylvania’s main interstate into paralysis.

Over the next few days, truckers shut down traffic across ten states, trying to flex their muscle and let the federal government hear their anger on the policies of fuel rationing and reduced speed limits that were costing them their way of life. Along the way, there were confrontations with police and the National Guard. Soon independent truckers began forming political groups, such as the Unity Committee, that could be present at negotiations with the Department of Transportation, or the Fraternal Association of Steel Haulers, which directly challenged the Teamsters, which at the time had over two million members. Deals with the government were cut to get the trucks moving again, but further strikes of independent truckers took off in 1979, again over speed limits and on the Carter administration’s preference to allocate diesel to farmers over long-haul truckers.

And now it’s happening again.

Vaccine update: Pentagon Now Corrupting Its Own Medical Database

 

The linked report is important because one of the recent confirmations concerning “vaccine” risks and fatalities came from the military records. (This blog recently reported on “The Second Opinion” panel here.)  Here’s part of Ethan Huff’s exposé at NOQ

Editor’s Note: Some stories that hit my desk are so unbelievable, I’m forced to fact-check them even if they come from reputable writers. This one turned out to be correct (as Ethan’s articles always are) and absolutely devastating. This tells us without a shadow of a doubt that the Pentagon is no longer working to defend the Constitution or keep the American people safe. They are part of the conspiracy to vaccinate every man, woman, and child in the world. Of all the various departments in government to be in on Pandemic Panic Theater, the Department of Defense’s participation is the most terrifying. Here’s Ethan’s article…

It is an undeniable fact that Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) “vaccines” have triggered a massive uptick in illnesses and injuries throughout America’s armed forces, and all the Pentagon can do is lie about it.

Rather than show concern for the brave men and women who are risking their lives in our country’s military, the Pentagon is now fudging the numbers in earlier iterations of its Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) health surveillance system to make the 2021 data appear less drastic.

As we reported, the DMED shows astounding increases in everything from myocarditis to brain injuries to cancer among servicemen who got jabbed for the Fauci Flu.

The numbers are so shocking that there is simply no way to spin them, which is why the Pentagon decided to add fake injuries and illnesses to previous years’ data.

“There is undoubtedly a public health and national security crisis in the military, and the Pentagon’s reaction only seems to be concerned with exonerating the vaccine, not fixing its own alleged problem,” reported The Blaze.

“It’s now certain that the military’s health surveillance system – DMED – showed a massive increase in sickness and injury diagnoses in 2021 over previous years, particularly in the neurological, cardiovascular, oncological, and reproductive health categories.”

Pentagon says spike in covid jab injuries, deaths is just a “glitch”

. . .

Scary stuff. Read the full report here. There does not appear to be one department in the federal government that is not corrupt.
