Rush Limbaugh Pays Tribute to Orson Bean and Andrew Breitbart
Rush Limbaugh Pays Tribute to Orson Bean and Andrew Breitbart:
Syndicated conservative talker Rush Limbaugh discussed the legacy of actor Orson Bean and his son-in-law Andrew Breitbart upon his return to his show Tuesday after receiving medical treatment for his lung cancer.
Limbaugh said, “I want to talk about the Oscars for just a second, not the awards themselves. I read the TV rating at an all-time low for this show, the Academy Awards show. And the real thing I want to talk about is Orson Bean. Orson Bean is how I want to get into this. Orson Bean was a healthy, vibrant 91 years old living in California, and he was hit by a car over the weekend and killed. He was a legendary television and movie performer. And he was a conservative. He oftentimes spoke of the Hollywood that existed when he was coming up. It was a Hollywood that loved God and a Hollywood love America, and he lamented it’s demise. He was the father in law of Andrew Breitbart.”

Victims have 'rumbled' that police can't investigate crimes and have stopped reporting them - Teesside Live
"Victims have given up reporting some crimes because the public has "rumbled" that the police do not have the capacity to investigate, inspectors have said.
...A report published on Friday said the public are losing faith in the criminal justice system because the chances of offenders being brought to justice are so slim.
...."If you are the victim of a minor burglary or minor assault or car crime, I think people have now got to the stage where their expectations are low and the police live down to those expectations because they simply don't have the capacity to deal with it.
"There are some worrying trends - victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault, where victims are no longer supporting the prosecution - is a more complex and worrying issue..."

Of course, it's what socialist/communists ALWAYS do-----Greta Thunberg Calls on Facebook to Censor Her Critics
"The celebrated Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has threatened to quit Facebook if the social media platform refuses to silence her critics.

“Allowing hate speech, the lack of fact-checking and, of course, the issues of interfering with democracy… are among many, many other things that are very upsetting.”...

Donald Trump Jr. responded to the public release of the report on Twitter. “Where is the outraged media? Why are they so silent on this? This would be the number one story in the world right now if it was a Trump supporter doing it to a group of liberals.”No enemies to the left.
“It’s a disgrace that they don’t even pretend to pay attention to growing leftist violence,” he added.

Rush Limbaugh: Radio Genius Changed the Political Landscape | National Review
"His ‘army of one,’ inspiring millions who’d been ignored, changed the political landscape.
Genius is often defined in myriad ways.
One trusted criterion is the ability to do something extraordinary in a field where others could not — and doing something that perhaps will never be done again by anyone else.
By that measure, Rush Limbaugh certainly is the genius of talk radio, a genre in which he not merely excelled but that he also singlehandedly reinvented as something entirely different — and entirely more powerful and instrumental in American life — from what was imaginable pre-Limbaugh.
...How did Limbaugh do it?
No one really knows because few have been able to duplicate his success, despite a number of gifted hosts who have tried..."

Fracking and the Electoral College | Power Line
Fracking and the Electoral College | Power Line
"...This comes to mind given the promise of leading Democrats to ban fracking for oil and gas if they are elected president.
I assume this plays very well in San Francisco and Manhattan, but it does mean giving the middle finger to the middle of Pennsylvania, among other locations.
What do the locals think about fracking?
We’re told endlessly by environmental propagandists that it is poisoning the local water and air, though a thorough EPA study done during the Obama Administration found little evidence to support this.
A new study of voting results on an anti-fracking ballot initiative in Colorado in 2018 (which was defeated) in Energy Research & Social Science gives us a more fine-grained look at the matter.
The key author of the study, Daniel Raimi of Resources for the Future, offers a plain English summary of the study on Twitter.
His first finding is the most useful:
Key findings: (1) Strong opposition to #fracking is mostly found in places where there is little to no drilling activity.
Strong support for drilling is mostly found in the places that have the largest density of wells. . . most people who live in the “patch” do want #fracking in their back yard..."

Bill targets single-use plastics in push to make manufacturers responsible | TheHill:"Two congressional Democrats are planning to roll out legislation that would fight plastic pollution by banning certain types of single-use containers and requiring manufacturers to use more recycled content in their packaging.
The legislation from Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.) and Rep. Alan Lowenthal (D-Calif.), expected Tuesday, would ban plastic takeout bags, utensils and plastic foam containers that cannot be recycled starting in 2022 and begin a nationwide container deposit system, mirroring programs in the Northeast and other parts of the country that pay consumers 10 cents for every returned beverage container..."

NYPD Union To Mayor Bill De Blasio: ‘We Do Not Respect You’ | The Daily Caller:
After a gunman on Sunday attacked a New York Police Department station, an NYPD union is blaming violence against law enforcement on Mayor Bill de Blasio.
A gunman walked into an NYPD station house in the Bronx early Sunday and began firing at officers, injuring a lieutenant inside. The alleged shooter eventually lay down and was apprehended after he ran out of bullets. De Blasio — who has famously clashed with the city’s police force during his tenure in office — took heavy criticism from New York City’s Sergeants Benevolent Association (SBA) following the shooting.
