Talk radio giant Rush Limbaugh has passed away, his wife, Kathryn, announced on his show Wednesday morning. Limbaugh, the leading voice of the conservative movement, succumbed to his battle with lung cancer at the age of 70 after getting his Stage 4 diagnosis in January 2020.
El Rushbo was a pioneer in the radio industry, leading the way to get conservative and Republican issues and voices heard around the nation. He worked around the liberal monolith of the broadcast networks and the stranglehold Democrats had on the public airways.
Limbaugh began his nationally syndicated "Rush Limbaugh Show" in 1988 and at that moment began to reshape the Republican Party and the conservative movement.

W.H.O. Defends China from Accusations of Hiding Coronavirus Data
W.H.O. Defends China from Accusations of Hiding Coronavirus Data:
Chinese state media on Sunday gleefully quoted members of the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) defending China from their own colleagues’ allegations that Beijing withheld important source data from investigators researching the origins of the coronavirus in Wuhan.
The Chinese presented their visitors with an analysis of the earliest recorded coronavirus cases but would not allow them to view the raw data. The Chinese claimed some of these records and samples have been destroyed.
LET THE PARENT REVOLT BEGIN
Instapundit--LET THE PARENT REVOLT BEGIN
"David Catron at The American Spectator sees a revolt coming from parents who are sick and tired of hearing from teachers about why they can’t come back to work due to Covid.
My view is the long-extended sickout justified by Covid fears is the best thing to happen to American education in decades because it finally exposed the teachers unions for the frauds they are.
And home-schooling has gotten a huge boost.
So when do Republicans in Congress start talking up an opt-out on education taxes for parents whose kids do not attend public schools?--Posted by
The False and Exaggerated Claims Still Being Spread About the Capitol Riot - Glenn Greenwald
The False and Exaggerated Claims Still Being Spread About the Capitol Riot - Glenn Greenwald
...Yet this is exactly what has happened, and continues to happen, since that riot almost seven weeks ago. And anyone who tries to correct these falsehoods is instantly attacked with the cynical accusation that if you want only truthful reporting about what happened, then you’re trying to “minimize” what happened and are likely an apologist for if not a full-fledged supporter of the protesters themselves.
- Insisting on factual accuracy does not make one an apologist for the protesters.
- False reporting is never justified, especially to inflate threat and fear levels.
"...There is no circumstance or motive that justifies the dissemination of false claims by journalists.
- One of the most significant of these falsehoods was the tale — endorsed over and over without any caveats by the media for more than a month — that Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick was murdered by the pro-Trump mob when they beat him to death with a fire extinguisher.
That claim was first published by The New York Times on January 8 in an article headlined “Capitol Police Officer Dies From Injuries in Pro-Trump Rampage.”
It cited “two [anonymous] law enforcement officials” to claim that Sicknick died “with the mob rampaging through the halls of Congress” and after he “was struck with a fire extinguisher.”
A second New York Times article from later that day — bearing the more dramatic headline: “He Dreamed of Being a Police Officer, Then Was Killed by a Pro-Trump Mob” — elaborated on that story...Read all.

Opinion | Seeds for insurrection were planted 34 years ago with a rule change | Bridge Michigan
"...Many attribute the rise of extremist politics to social media.
It goes deeper than that.
The roots of the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol trace back to a government decision 34 years ago.
In 1987, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) repealed the Fairness Doctrine, a rule which required broadcasters to present issues of public importance, and in doing so provide a discussion that was fair, balanced and honest.
...There were two direct impacts, both of which coarsened our public discourse:
- broadcasters no longer were under an obligation to cover/report local news; and
- the door was opened to one-sided talk-radio, with no obligation on the part of broadcasters to insure that the information on those programs was balanced or even factual.
...Within a year of the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine, Rush Limbaugh’s pioneering three hours of one-sided, fact-challenged talk was launched...Read all!

Minneapolis Police Department gets $6.4 in funding - TheBlaze:
The Minneapolis City Council's mission to defund the police has failed spectacularly. Following an increase in crime, Minneapolis has had a change of heart about defunding or abolishing the police. In fact, the city is going to spend millions to beef up its law enforcement.
