LOL! I've been waiting for that question to be asked but no, no centerfold.
Rush was America's Intellectual Giant during his shows 33+ year run, but he was only 70" tall and weighed 300+ pounds. At death, it's been speculated that his weight dropped significantly, to about 175 lbs.
I don't think Playboy's centerfold photographers catered to plus sized models at that time, even with wide-angle lenses.
Remember when he would do his skits impersonating Robert Reich, and how he would accentuate the eich.... And how he would show Reich standing at the podium for a news conference and only the top of his head could be seen! Or when he would have his song about the Justice Brothers - Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson (he's everywhere!) Wow, I miss that guy. More than five years gone already.
Rush's tour was only about three years - '90 thru maybe '92. his show-prep for all three took it's toll, especially the television show, lotta work and there wasn't enough hours in the day.
And as he always said about himself was his skill at making complex things simple. Clearly he was one of a kind. The two people chosen to replace him aren't even worth mentioning, in my useless opinion.
I think anyone who worked for a large corporation & read Dilbert would think it was modeled after their company - since management is screwed up at most of them.
I stopped listening to Limbaugh with his support for Bush and the RNC in general which has never done anything to rid us of the RINOs. (I will never give money to the RNC. You may as well flush it down the toilet. I have donated to particular candidates.) I'm a conservative who only votes republican because there is no other choice and I didn't agree with Limbaugh on some of his stances that I didn't think were conservative enough like his support for J. Bush, a RINO POS just like his former democrat father both of whom never saw a federal government they didn't want to make larger or more intrusive. JB gave us the worthless TSA and homeland security. Two ridiculously large, do-nothing bureacracies and two endless wars that acheived nothing. Bush was better than the fascist foreign-born muslim odumbass, but not by much.
JEB thought he had 2016 in the bag - bragged about having all that money & claimed he didn't need conservatives to win because he snared all that dough - that doughboy was a jackass.
when I lived in Florida, mid '91 thru late'99, is that he personally called me to work on his first campaign for Governor. I went to the meeting, listened to his platform, said "thanks but no thanks" and walked out.
his policies about crime, criminals, recidivism rates and repeat offenders made no sense, almost as bad as the jacka$$ party's no bail policies now.
Pam Bondi, Florida's attorney-general at the time of 'caucasian-hispanic' George Zimmerman's trial for killing a ghetto-rat gangbanger named Trayvon Martin, had her district-attorney use "star witness" Rachel Jeantel's - who couldn't write cursive - false testimony in trying to convict an innocent man. Her false testimony proved the defenses case without them ever offering a defense.
Joel Gott wrote an excellent book exposing the prosecutorial misconduct in that trial.
Rachel Jeantel, an abject moron, was a product of JEB!'s highly touted education reforms, almost like Dubya's unionized "No Child Left Behind" government school scam.
Unfortunately, giving to individual candidates is a ruse, as they are all required to give a percentage of contributions to the RNC. They don’t need our money. They have to accomplish something first. Can’t even pass the SAVE act.
when they retired, John Boehner (DeepState RINO, OH) and Harry Reid (DeepState Communist, NV) both had campaign war chests with over $100,000,000.00 in campaign cash in each and asked if they could keep it.
Congress acquiesed so, in addition to their gold-plated, taxpayer-funded retirements, they both received a hellacious windfall from overtaxed citizens.
Yep. Just another perk these political grifters allow for themselves, like insider-trading on Wall Street, exempting themselves and their staffs from the laws they enact for US rubes in flyover country and from civil and criminal liability lawsuits for their absolutely moronic decisions.
The political system, and the two main party's, are destroying themselves. i do not understand why a hard core conservative doesn't start a solid conservative party to reform the GOP. They always say that when Ross Perot did it it tilted the playing field to the Dems. That is BS. He was trying to bring some sanity back to the GOP. Seems we never learn a thing from history until too late. DC is so corrupt today and it will get worse.
And I believe that all of them are given far too much attention than they deserve. They are just freaking sideshows and will quickly become irrelevant just like Alex Jones.
Andrea, at American Thinker, is extremely discomfited about her perception of the growing anti-Semitism among MAGA ranks. I think that is a completely non-existent issue and only those vocal idiots are pushing it. They are jerks and we have no more interest in any of them than we do in David Duke. I think this entire thing is way overdrawn.
Yeah....the gang rapes of nurses who treated the activists, destroying their female organs in the process, and the public hanging of the young athletes....the IRGC....nice guys...
Let’s hope when the tables are turned that the Iranian people are able to exact vengeance on those IRGC members that will go down in history. Hunt them down and exterminate them like they did to their own people.
I'd prefer that Trump/IDF just do that now. The "ceasefire" may just be a way for Trump to say "See, we tried diplomacy and it didn't work" before finishing the job.
But I don't think we CAN root out the IRGC--they are too integrated and hidden in the population. They don't gather in single places where we can target them with a missile and take them out. It would require American boots on the ground and we would have alot of American casualties--deaths.
It is the Iranian people's job to invest in their own freedom and root out the IRGC. That's why it's important for us to give them arms, which is underway. They can do this better than us and spare our American soldier's lives.
I think the delay is part of Trump and Hegseth's plan to use it to arm the civilian Iranian population so they can stand up to the IRRG. Those scumbags won't be so brave when the people can fight back and shoot them. Trump is always ten steps ahead of the rest of us. He has already anticipated and planned for every contingency possible. He loves it when people mis-underestimate him, to paraphrase Boo Boo Bush.
RIGHT.,,, I can't unsee that Olympic winner hanging from what looked like Jesus on the cross, murdered for what? They all need to go if they agree with anything of this current administration. Trump is right, on cleaning house, they are our enemy and don't think they will ever give up unless they are gone. Regime change or poof!!!
I agree - I realized this morning how seldom say Thank You to the wonderful man who makes our conversations possible and always provides us with insightful information to get us thinking! Thank you Mr. Surber, from the bottom of my heart
so does fox news. breen actually said "up to 10,000". i believe she also refers to illegal alians as the "10,000,000 or so". that would be closer to 40,000,000. as i type fox news has former vp pence on. why do i even have them on?
Hmm I don't remember that, but I rarely watched news that year. Was it covid related, something about nurses?
I only stopped watching them (except for Greg G) after the night they called AZ for Biden on purpose prematurely, and refused to call FL too if I recall.
Maybe it’s just that I’m old and don’t bother with social media, television or podcasts, but I’ve never heard of most of the supposed MAGA influencers mentioned. And I’m sure that I’m not alone so there are probably a lot of MAGAs who are not being influenced by them at all. (I hate that word, “influencer” about as much as I hate the word “diversity”.)
Also, being old, I too well remember Iran’s actions in 1979-1980, not to mention every evil they have committed since then. And I fully support everything that President Trump is doing which should have been done 47 years ago when the whole mess started.
God bless President Trump and his cabinet. God bless our military. God bless America.
Plays, Speaking of words one hates, to that I would add "reach out" that is way too new age, touchy feely for me. It makes me want to gag every time I hear it, but many of the people I associate with use it frequently
Bravo CM!!! The company I retired from is that way through and through. I told my boss not to "reach out" to me, just give me a call or send an e-mail.you would have thought I had insulted his mother. They don't miss me nor I them.
Dead languages -- those that nobody uses any longer -- don't innovate, so be glad that English -- at least, American English -- still does. Besides, while I don't care for a lot of the novel lingo either, I figure that most of it won't survive. For evidence, read some things written in the 19th century.
We even have good spelling that many people are not using. Typing and autodistort-- which I no longer use-- both require proofreading. Just an old English major.
I'm also turned off by the word “influencer”, but it's big money in the new internet age. I've read stories of some of these “influencers” still in their teens buying million dollar homes. All for having a large # of followers & getting clicks and sponsors. I recently watched some videos on Infrared Grills - the video maker advertised a % discount on the grill if you clicked on the link. The % varied (I guess) on the # of followers - it went from 10% off to 30% off.
When Trump came down the escalator and started talking about illegals and how Mexico isn’t sending their best all I could think was this guy gets it. I was a schoolteacher in San Diego county and I witnessed how illegals ruined the school system in Clownifornia. Very few teachers would say so but we all knew it. Tests scores dropping and white parents taking their kids out of failed schools.
I didn’t need an influencer to tell me Trump was the right person for the job. Besides the other choice was Hillary, a total non starter.
Trump wasn’t even on my radar in 2015 until he began explaining what he wanted to do. He began saying, what I had been experiencing in northern Illinois.
Hospitals were overrun by illegals who are getting free services and the school systems were overwhelmed by multiple non-English speaking, families living in one home sending their children to the schools. Just check out the status of what was Saint Therese Hospital or Victory Memorial Hospital in Waukegan Illinois.
Every day around noon I wonder what Rush would be saying about our world today. He loved Ronaldo Magnus, but Trump is his neighbor and friend, and I’m sure we would be treated to what Brit was hinting at last night. Something is going on, and we’ll see the Trumpster turn his attention homeward now, much to the dismay of all those alleged “influencers” who are primarily pissed he doesn’t return their calls anymore and thought they had him on the “forever war” angle. It galls them to admit he just saved the world from the terror masters and did it in 6 weeks! Trump’s a loyalty guy; values it above all else. If he does to democrat welfare/medicare fraud and election fraud what he did to the Ayatollah, well, buckle up! It’s going to be an interesting summer! He spins the media and democrats-they cannot keep up. They’re too accustomed to Presidents that are politically motivated—not a businessman who gets things done. He wants tangible results. He fits more into 24 hours than CNN and FoxNews combined! And I can’t wait for Markwayne to start shutting down customs and international portions of blue cities’ airports. That will be fun.
And then they have the audacity to say that he looks tired.....LOL....or...because they are too stupid after all of this time, even with a book, to recognize what Trump is doing...
Going back to Mondays argument, he better get his act in gear. The lamestream media and socialists are working triple time to undermine him. I’m not convinced we will have a cooperative Congress next year.
In fact, we have an obstinate, obstructionist Congress in the Repubs right now. It will get worse from here and those who want to sit and watch will be making excuses when it happens.
We were born with analytical brains and the ability to collect data to build logical solutions. The writing is on the wall for November. The only thing still fuzzy? Whether it will be one or both houses. Either will drastically slow or stop the last two years - JUST LIKE THEY DID IN 2019 WITH THE ADVENT OF RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA. All they did was take the house and Nancy Pelosi threw a wrench into the entire last two years of Trump's term.
I said this in 2016 and again 2024: Trump should have governed as a 2 year term president. Moved as fast as he could despite the Ryan’s, Johnsons, McConnells and Thunes. Those clowns are only interested in their own corrupt selves.
I still think we are in a war with China. Iran is a battle in that war. Iran is the negative influence in the ME. Once they're neutered, the rest of the baddies will have a much harder time causing significant trouble. Trump never said regime change was an objective.
Everything Trump has done, from tariffs, to chastising NATO, to Greenland, to Venezuela, to Iran is not just to set those things right, but to ultimately weaken and hopefully break China.
I also think he believes we have a potential future ally in Russia, but he’s up against the intransigent EU and their puppet Zelensky in bringing that war to its long overdue end.
Slow down, Suzie -- you talk as if it was Zelensky who started that war. Instead, he rose to the occasion; and he inspired his compatriots to innovate warfare, far beyond anything the Russians could imagine.
The deep state took that invasion to the level of war it is today so they could create yet another taxpayer-funded democrat laundromat. And Zelensky was fine with it.
From what I've been able to ascertain there are / were as many as 52 bio warfare labs in Ukraine ; that and the amount of money and support from the Deep State for Ukraine is suspect in the least . There is information out there that places American taxpayer funds in these labs . Biological warfare and meddling are probably the greatest dangers that face the human race .
Well, I have to admit that there are precedents for the US funding sinister overseas labs -- and an awful lot else, too. Subsidizing transgender butterfly catching societies in Antarctica ...
Which baddies? I don't necessarily trust any of the politicians who switched to republican. Are the RINOs growing trunks instead of horns? I'll have to wait to see about the Middle East nations' longer-term response to Operation Epic Fury and its aftermath.
Good sentence to end on. Don brings out that we are not privy to whatever it is that has convinced Trump and Hegseth that “Iran has blinked.” Geez Louise, LTMW!
Trump is right to not blab his plans, which he surely has, to the public. Sort of like heaven, we all will know "in the fullness of time", be patient Grasshopper!
Trump is like a street fighter, holding up his fist and saying I'm going to beat your face with this, then delivering a swift kick in the groin. Then as his opponent lays there wondering how he got tricked, he delivers the promised fist.
I love your paragraph beginning with "The 22nd Amendment limits Presidents to two terms.......I think that encapsulates it all and PDJT is certainly taking full advantage of that freedom. I certainly am a loyal supporter of him and have been since shorty after his golden escalator ride. God bless him and his family and God bless America!
I can say that my then boss and I used to talk about whether Trump could handle being president....He was certain that he could....me, not so much. I registered as a Republican in 2017 and trust in Trump.....I was a decades long Blue Dog Democrat...Interestingly, one of the ladies on Promethean Action stated in one of the episodes that, while the Democrat Party has been hijacked by the marxists, he, Trump, is the actual Democrat of old.
My liberal brother got furious when I said that Trump was a democrat who seized control of the republican party. Like Reagan, he didn't leave the democrats, they left him.
He is his own brand. He is the middle ground. Dems are off the reservation left. Republicans are weak. Conservative Right is crazy. Trump’s constituents are the left right center normies.
Agree Cookie. And he has freedom on steroids since he also knows that Russiagate and impeachments and lawsuits and attempted assassinations and stolen elections were all at the hands of Democrat leadership, and he is shed of them and any influence they once had.
"Associated with" does not mean what you seem to think it does. Trump is the personification of MAGA but without the rest of us he wouldn't even be the president. Even someone as unimportant to this world as I am is associated with MAGA and glad and blessed and hopeful about America for a change. Pessimism is lonely; optimism is its own reward.
77,303,568 is the figure that matters. Name a name, maybe it becomes 77,303,567, still the only figure that matters. Buh bye Cucker go stand with the mullahs.
I stopped watching Tucker when he became possessed with UFO’s. Perhaps he has been visited by aliens who now inhabit what’s left of his mind after the Jew hatred virus destroyed the rest of it. Or perhaps he is demonstrating a variant of TDS.
Since we disposed of all our TV's years ago, I never watched Tucker on FOX. I would occasionally see clips of his show that were posted on conservative sites. When he left FOX, I started watching some of his podcasts - but got turned off with all the giggling & the nonsense he was putting out.
I miss Rush, but Charlie Kirk connected to college kids in a way that Rush did not and never would. Charlie was informed and persuasive with a gift for calmly deflating illogical and foolish ideas. He was well on the way to creating grass-roots conservatism among the young in the very belly of the illiberal beast. He threatened The Combine, and we know how that goes.
Thankfully T.P.U.S.A. is still growing among the youth and I have heard several 50ish? people say they never miss a broadcast after learning who and what Charlie Kirk was and did.
I’d like to know exactly what Bible, (not to mention history books), Tucker is actually reading.
It certainly isn’t the one where God Himself had directed His chosen ones, such as King Saul to “utterly slay” the enemy, (and when he didn’t follow that command God replaced him as king), and where practically the entire canon of the Books from Genesis to Revelation involve actual BATTLES of good against evil.
Who exactly does Tucker think was fighting in all these wars, not to mention all the wars since, and against whom?
He’s quick to call out Trump for waging a “disgusting” war, but mighty scant on any criticism of the one the mullahs have been waging upon millions of innocents worldwide for nearly 50 years.
Anyone taking that man seriously, listening to a single word emanating from his deranged and delusional mind these days is choosing to be willfully blinded and deceived.
I first heard Rush in 1988. His influence on me was present in 2015 during the primary campaign, especially prior to Trump’s entry. I forced myself to put in paper six non-negotiable issues that would prompt my vote, and measured them against each candidate. The results came in “nope, not a chance, nope, no, maybe….” Then Trump entered the fray. After two weeks I was forced to conclude (personalities aside) “holy cow! He’s my guy.” He still is for those six principles and so much more.
Rush had more influence than the combined total of the rest.
Compassion, wit, pipes and intelligence all wrapped in ‘warm fuzzy ball’.
Rush was truly on loan from God... with "half his brain tied behind his back just to make it fair". Absolutely brilliant.
That's "half his BRAIN," IIRC.
100%... thanks!!
True, but Charlie took the fight into enemy territory which cannot be overestimated.
As did Rush, with his “Rush to Excellence” tours.
He even did a Playboy magazine interview in Dec 1993 with David Rensin.
No centerfold?
LOL! I've been waiting for that question to be asked but no, no centerfold.
Rush was America's Intellectual Giant during his shows 33+ year run, but he was only 70" tall and weighed 300+ pounds. At death, it's been speculated that his weight dropped significantly, to about 175 lbs.
I don't think Playboy's centerfold photographers catered to plus sized models at that time, even with wide-angle lenses.
I have no knowledge of these tours. Where did he do them?
early in his career and all over America when he was known as “America’s Anchorman.”
Rush also had a television show that was hilarious.
The Rush L. tv show was funny as hell and yet informative . He had a little toe that was funnier than all the current late night shows.
Remember when he would do his skits impersonating Robert Reich, and how he would accentuate the eich.... And how he would show Reich standing at the podium for a news conference and only the top of his head could be seen! Or when he would have his song about the Justice Brothers - Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson (he's everywhere!) Wow, I miss that guy. More than five years gone already.
“America Held Hostage” 😆
don't forget Dumbo's "Reign of Terror," either.
Ah, I think that was all long before I started listening to him.
Rush's tour was only about three years - '90 thru maybe '92. his show-prep for all three took it's toll, especially the television show, lotta work and there wasn't enough hours in the day.
Kirk went after the young mush heads. Trump went after all of them.
And as he always said about himself was his skill at making complex things simple. Clearly he was one of a kind. The two people chosen to replace him aren't even worth mentioning, in my useless opinion.
There will NEVER be another Rush Limbaugh, far too many imposters, but no one like El Rushbo!
Somewhat surprised that it wasn't 100% for Rush. I like all the others on the list, but it was no contest.
I did think about Charlie Kirk….updated Rush-like figure, dramatic potential, gone too early
The wisdom of crowds here put him second - I think that’s right.
At first I thought you said "the wisdom of clowns" but then realized you weren't talking about me.
😆
Think he used to boast he was right 98.7% of the time! LOL.
And I was always amazed that his number always remained the same, even after so many years. I could never understand how that was possible:)
Rather Trumpian there. ☺️
Rush was also a great troller of the left.
He did but I've never been much of a listener. However, I read Adams daily, because he wrote my life in Corp America.
Working at Verizon for a # of years, I always thought the Dilbert scenarios were modeled after Verizon.
Also every single corporation I worked for in as well as academia, in my 45 years in Corporate America. It's universal. Even the Japanese company.
At my Large Computer Company, my cubicle was decorated on every side with Adams strips, full size, from the Sunday paper.
No, Joe, they were clearly modeled after The Hartford.
I think anyone who worked for a large corporation & read Dilbert would think it was modeled after their company - since management is screwed up at most of them.
I stopped listening to Limbaugh with his support for Bush and the RNC in general which has never done anything to rid us of the RINOs. (I will never give money to the RNC. You may as well flush it down the toilet. I have donated to particular candidates.) I'm a conservative who only votes republican because there is no other choice and I didn't agree with Limbaugh on some of his stances that I didn't think were conservative enough like his support for J.

JB gave us the worthless TSA and homeland security. Two ridiculously large, do-nothing bureacracies and two endless wars that acheived nothing. Bush was better than the fascist foreign-born muslim odumbass, but not by much.
Rush Limbaugh never endorsed anyone until Trump came along.
It was Dubya’s knee-jerk reaction to 9/11 that gave US another wasteful cabinet level department with DHS/TSA.
JEB! was asleep @ the wheel as Florida’s Governor, which is why he didn’t fare well in 2016. He was the Deep-State GOPe’s $100,000,000.00 failure.
JEB thought he had 2016 in the bag - bragged about having all that money & claimed he didn't need conservatives to win because he snared all that dough - that doughboy was a jackass.
no argument from me, Joe.
when I lived in Florida, mid '91 thru late'99, is that he personally called me to work on his first campaign for Governor. I went to the meeting, listened to his platform, said "thanks but no thanks" and walked out.
his policies about crime, criminals, recidivism rates and repeat offenders made no sense, almost as bad as the jacka$$ party's no bail policies now.
Pam Bondi, Florida's attorney-general at the time of 'caucasian-hispanic' George Zimmerman's trial for killing a ghetto-rat gangbanger named Trayvon Martin, had her district-attorney use "star witness" Rachel Jeantel's - who couldn't write cursive - false testimony in trying to convict an innocent man.

Rachel Jeantel, an abject moron, was a product of JEB!'s highly touted education reforms, almost like Dubya's unionized "No Child Left Behind" government school scam.
I had a friend who lived in FL at the time - said the nickname for Jeb was the Jebster.
I think the exclamation mark did him in.
It was the straw of stupidity that broke the campaign's back.
LOL, among other character flaws.
Unfortunately, giving to individual candidates is a ruse, as they are all required to give a percentage of contributions to the RNC. They don’t need our money. They have to accomplish something first. Can’t even pass the SAVE act.
when they retired, John Boehner (DeepState RINO, OH) and Harry Reid (DeepState Communist, NV) both had campaign war chests with over $100,000,000.00 in campaign cash in each and asked if they could keep it.
Congress acquiesed so, in addition to their gold-plated, taxpayer-funded retirements, they both received a hellacious windfall from overtaxed citizens.
Is that verified? I never read it anywhere. Has to be more to it.
Yep. Just another perk these political grifters allow for themselves, like insider-trading on Wall Street, exempting themselves and their staffs from the laws they enact for US rubes in flyover country and from civil and criminal liability lawsuits for their absolutely moronic decisions.
The political system, and the two main party's, are destroying themselves. i do not understand why a hard core conservative doesn't start a solid conservative party to reform the GOP. They always say that when Ross Perot did it it tilted the playing field to the Dems. That is BS. He was trying to bring some sanity back to the GOP. Seems we never learn a thing from history until too late. DC is so corrupt today and it will get worse.
Fortunately, I haven't given anything since 2012 and don't plan to.
👍
MEGA DITTOS
Don’ cat, was that really a serious question?
“The Tucker Carlson Crowd wants to take their ball and go home, but as I have shown you, they have no balls.” Perfection
And I believe that all of them are given far too much attention than they deserve. They are just freaking sideshows and will quickly become irrelevant just like Alex Jones.
Andrea, at American Thinker, is extremely discomfited about her perception of the growing anti-Semitism among MAGA ranks. I think that is a completely non-existent issue and only those vocal idiots are pushing it. They are jerks and we have no more interest in any of them than we do in David Duke. I think this entire thing is way overdrawn.
Y'know, that's an interesting comparison.
I remember a time when the left couldn't talk about anything but David Duke. Funny how it went away...
Newsweek also failed to point out the 40,000+ civilians murdered by the mullahs.
Yeah....the gang rapes of nurses who treated the activists, destroying their female organs in the process, and the public hanging of the young athletes....the IRGC....nice guys...
Let’s hope when the tables are turned that the Iranian people are able to exact vengeance on those IRGC members that will go down in history. Hunt them down and exterminate them like they did to their own people.
I'd prefer that Trump/IDF just do that now. The "ceasefire" may just be a way for Trump to say "See, we tried diplomacy and it didn't work" before finishing the job.
But I don't think we CAN root out the IRGC--they are too integrated and hidden in the population. They don't gather in single places where we can target them with a missile and take them out. It would require American boots on the ground and we would have alot of American casualties--deaths.
It is the Iranian people's job to invest in their own freedom and root out the IRGC. That's why it's important for us to give them arms, which is underway. They can do this better than us and spare our American soldier's lives.
Agree. Bottomline this ‘ball’ is in their court now. Regime change from without is a myth.
I hope the arms reach the people they're intended for.
PDJT & Hegseth need to cut out the middleman (Kurds) & get the weapons directly to the people.
I think the delay is part of Trump and Hegseth's plan to use it to arm the civilian Iranian population so they can stand up to the IRRG. Those scumbags won't be so brave when the people can fight back and shoot them. Trump is always ten steps ahead of the rest of us. He has already anticipated and planned for every contingency possible. He loves it when people mis-underestimate him, to paraphrase Boo Boo Bush.
I love that word. Very apt.
Let them have their own “skin in the game”
They do have their own skin in the game, they've been having to live with this murderous regime for decades.
Exactly and that’s why we don’t need to put our own boots on the ground.
RIGHT.,,, I can't unsee that Olympic winner hanging from what looked like Jesus on the cross, murdered for what? They all need to go if they agree with anything of this current administration. Trump is right, on cleaning house, they are our enemy and don't think they will ever give up unless they are gone. Regime change or poof!!!
That was the very first thing that crossed my mind.
The next was wondering how many of those "civilian deaths were because they use human shields just like hamas.
Nothing surprises me about MSM these days. One day trump is a war criminal - next day he's a chicken.
It is so darn tiresome.
And amazing the number of people that are swayed by the propaganda.
Reading Don’s substack is like being in an oasis while traipsing through a desert.
Thank you for your reliable wisdom and wit, Don!
I agree - I realized this morning how seldom say Thank You to the wonderful man who makes our conversations possible and always provides us with insightful information to get us thinking! Thank you Mr. Surber, from the bottom of my heart
MAGA Dittos.
All the msm today is repeat after me [ ORANGE MAN BAD ] rinse and use to anchor every news break imho.
Maybe a new entry in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) under TDS is needed: whiplash, known side effect.
I am now fully in favor of Youth-In-Asia because of these clowns.
😂
so does fox news. breen actually said "up to 10,000". i believe she also refers to illegal alians as the "10,000,000 or so". that would be closer to 40,000,000. as i type fox news has former vp pence on. why do i even have them on?
brainwashed. you still think FOX News is fair and balanced conservatism.
there are only a couple of programs worth watching on FOX - Charles Payne, Greg Gutfeld and, sometimes, the Five.
first half of the five, jesse waters and gutfeld. after that its just useless chick shite. i thought charles payne was on fox business?
he is but, to me, FOX is just another gaggle of chattering-a$$ talking heads...
I stopped watching them in 2016. When female anchors began wearing safety pins on their lapel’s.
its majority females now and they run the panels.
Hmm I don't remember that, but I rarely watched news that year. Was it covid related, something about nurses?
I only stopped watching them (except for Greg G) after the night they called AZ for Biden on purpose prematurely, and refused to call FL too if I recall.
Right after the 2016 election as a sign of solidarity against…guess who. You know that p grabbing, racist blah blah blah.
Ridiculous. All those marginalized people who were going to be whatevered.
Virtue signal
Not to mention 4 7 years of war against America
Newsweek? I canceled my subscription because of their propaganda in 1980.
Maybe it’s just that I’m old and don’t bother with social media, television or podcasts, but I’ve never heard of most of the supposed MAGA influencers mentioned. And I’m sure that I’m not alone so there are probably a lot of MAGAs who are not being influenced by them at all. (I hate that word, “influencer” about as much as I hate the word “diversity”.)
Also, being old, I too well remember Iran’s actions in 1979-1980, not to mention every evil they have committed since then. And I fully support everything that President Trump is doing which should have been done 47 years ago when the whole mess started.
God bless President Trump and his cabinet. God bless our military. God bless America.
Plays, Speaking of words one hates, to that I would add "reach out" that is way too new age, touchy feely for me. It makes me want to gag every time I hear it, but many of the people I associate with use it frequently
Bravo CM!!! The company I retired from is that way through and through. I told my boss not to "reach out" to me, just give me a call or send an e-mail.you would have thought I had insulted his mother. They don't miss me nor I them.
Reach out w a wing of 26 fully loaded 60 year old B-52 Stratofortresses to each unload 70,000 pounds of encourangement over your town….
Me, too!
How about "lean in?"
Ick!
And one of my bugaboos is "share." It's called talking...
Agree! My millennial daughter uses it all the time and I just have to bite my tongue.
Dead languages -- those that nobody uses any longer -- don't innovate, so be glad that English -- at least, American English -- still does. Besides, while I don't care for a lot of the novel lingo either, I figure that most of it won't survive. For evidence, read some things written in the 19th century.
We even have good spelling that many people are not using. Typing and autodistort-- which I no longer use-- both require proofreading. Just an old English major.
My feelings exactly. Nicely put.
Feel free to lean in , just don't fall over...
I'm also turned off by the word “influencer”, but it's big money in the new internet age. I've read stories of some of these “influencers” still in their teens buying million dollar homes. All for having a large # of followers & getting clicks and sponsors. I recently watched some videos on Infrared Grills - the video maker advertised a % discount on the grill if you clicked on the link. The % varied (I guess) on the # of followers - it went from 10% off to 30% off.
Does it come from influenza?
Post of the day.
Sister!!
When Trump came down the escalator and started talking about illegals and how Mexico isn’t sending their best all I could think was this guy gets it. I was a schoolteacher in San Diego county and I witnessed how illegals ruined the school system in Clownifornia. Very few teachers would say so but we all knew it. Tests scores dropping and white parents taking their kids out of failed schools.
I didn’t need an influencer to tell me Trump was the right person for the job. Besides the other choice was Hillary, a total non starter.
He spoke out loud what tens of millions were thinking. Authentically.
Just like Rush
Trump wasn’t even on my radar in 2015 until he began explaining what he wanted to do. He began saying, what I had been experiencing in northern Illinois.
Hospitals were overrun by illegals who are getting free services and the school systems were overwhelmed by multiple non-English speaking, families living in one home sending their children to the schools. Just check out the status of what was Saint Therese Hospital or Victory Memorial Hospital in Waukegan Illinois.
Hillary started yakking all the time, but not enough people wanted to hear her.
Every day around noon I wonder what Rush would be saying about our world today. He loved Ronaldo Magnus, but Trump is his neighbor and friend, and I’m sure we would be treated to what Brit was hinting at last night. Something is going on, and we’ll see the Trumpster turn his attention homeward now, much to the dismay of all those alleged “influencers” who are primarily pissed he doesn’t return their calls anymore and thought they had him on the “forever war” angle. It galls them to admit he just saved the world from the terror masters and did it in 6 weeks! Trump’s a loyalty guy; values it above all else. If he does to democrat welfare/medicare fraud and election fraud what he did to the Ayatollah, well, buckle up! It’s going to be an interesting summer! He spins the media and democrats-they cannot keep up. They’re too accustomed to Presidents that are politically motivated—not a businessman who gets things done. He wants tangible results. He fits more into 24 hours than CNN and FoxNews combined! And I can’t wait for Markwayne to start shutting down customs and international portions of blue cities’ airports. That will be fun.
And then they have the audacity to say that he looks tired.....LOL....or...because they are too stupid after all of this time, even with a book, to recognize what Trump is doing...
"he looks tired." This is from the same brain-dead reporters and TV "experts" who said Biden "is sharp as a tack". ROFL
Whiplash, again.
Buckle up. 😂👍🐣
Going back to Mondays argument, he better get his act in gear. The lamestream media and socialists are working triple time to undermine him. I’m not convinced we will have a cooperative Congress next year.
No one guessed Venezuela, no one guessed Iran. How bout we all just stop guessing and let the man do his job.
AMEN!
We won't.
In fact, we have an obstinate, obstructionist Congress in the Repubs right now. It will get worse from here and those who want to sit and watch will be making excuses when it happens.
We were born with analytical brains and the ability to collect data to build logical solutions. The writing is on the wall for November. The only thing still fuzzy? Whether it will be one or both houses. Either will drastically slow or stop the last two years - JUST LIKE THEY DID IN 2019 WITH THE ADVENT OF RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA. All they did was take the house and Nancy Pelosi threw a wrench into the entire last two years of Trump's term.
Short of a miracle, we must be acting now.
I said this in 2016 and again 2024: Trump should have governed as a 2 year term president. Moved as fast as he could despite the Ryan’s, Johnsons, McConnells and Thunes. Those clowns are only interested in their own corrupt selves.
I still think we are in a war with China. Iran is a battle in that war. Iran is the negative influence in the ME. Once they're neutered, the rest of the baddies will have a much harder time causing significant trouble. Trump never said regime change was an objective.
Everything Trump has done, from tariffs, to chastising NATO, to Greenland, to Venezuela, to Iran is not just to set those things right, but to ultimately weaken and hopefully break China.
I also think he believes we have a potential future ally in Russia, but he’s up against the intransigent EU and their puppet Zelensky in bringing that war to its long overdue end.
Russia, yes. Putin…no.
Slow down, Suzie -- you talk as if it was Zelensky who started that war. Instead, he rose to the occasion; and he inspired his compatriots to innovate warfare, far beyond anything the Russians could imagine.
The deep state took that invasion to the level of war it is today so they could create yet another taxpayer-funded democrat laundromat. And Zelensky was fine with it.
Sure, all while packing away substantial retirement accounts for himself and Mrs. Zelenskyy, and his closed buddies. All at US expense.
US backed biolabs and BHO started that war ; I don't blame Putin one bit .
Do you have ANY evidence for this? The history I remember does not support it. But of course, Putin has his groupies.
From what I've been able to ascertain there are / were as many as 52 bio warfare labs in Ukraine ; that and the amount of money and support from the Deep State for Ukraine is suspect in the least . There is information out there that places American taxpayer funds in these labs . Biological warfare and meddling are probably the greatest dangers that face the human race .
Well, I have to admit that there are precedents for the US funding sinister overseas labs -- and an awful lot else, too. Subsidizing transgender butterfly catching societies in Antarctica ...
A lot of the baddies already joined our side!
Which baddies? I don't necessarily trust any of the politicians who switched to republican. Are the RINOs growing trunks instead of horns? I'll have to wait to see about the Middle East nations' longer-term response to Operation Epic Fury and its aftermath.
The Abraham Accords would seem to answer your question.
Yep. We just put Trump’s hand their oil spigot.
Well, wasn't it China that told Iran to sign the ceasefire agreement? I agree that China is a great unknown but economically they're on the ropes
Interesting - I hadn't heard that, but I had heard that the CPP was smuggling weapons to Iran.
Wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that both were true, actually.
His objective has always been peace, followed by business opportunities! It’s tough doing business in a war zone.
The forgotten Americans helped elect and reelect Trump twice.
Not the bimbos and cucks. Thanks Mr. S for pointing
out the splendid voting of these maggots.
2028 will be an interesting election. Rubio? Hegseth? Vance? Who will carry the brand forward?
For example, right now Ms Lindsey is all MAGA, but will change tune faster than the ferry boat operator in Josey Wales. How many others are like him?
For the life of me, I'll never understand why Trump has this clown around.
Miss Lindsay has lot of shall we say push or pull in D.C. after all the years in or of [ service to the people around him].
Keep your enemies closer. Lindsay is safer as long as you can keep your eyes on him.
I agree with you Joe. Every time I see Ms Graham on TV, he milks being Trump's 'bud'. Sickening.
We do have a very strong bench. Most GOP senators are about as useful as teats on a boar.
Unfortunately Trump and a GOP president in 2028 are just speed bumps on the way to self destruction
Lord, protect this Nation and give us lots of Your freedom and Your grace and Your mercy.
Good sentence to end on. Don brings out that we are not privy to whatever it is that has convinced Trump and Hegseth that “Iran has blinked.” Geez Louise, LTMW!
Trump is right to not blab his plans, which he surely has, to the public. Sort of like heaven, we all will know "in the fullness of time", be patient Grasshopper!
Trump is like a street fighter, holding up his fist and saying I'm going to beat your face with this, then delivering a swift kick in the groin. Then as his opponent lays there wondering how he got tricked, he delivers the promised fist.
That’s what keeps me on the edge of my seat. I have never been disappointed, and more often delightfully surprised and entertained.
I love your paragraph beginning with "The 22nd Amendment limits Presidents to two terms.......I think that encapsulates it all and PDJT is certainly taking full advantage of that freedom. I certainly am a loyal supporter of him and have been since shorty after his golden escalator ride. God bless him and his family and God bless America!
I can say that my then boss and I used to talk about whether Trump could handle being president....He was certain that he could....me, not so much. I registered as a Republican in 2017 and trust in Trump.....I was a decades long Blue Dog Democrat...Interestingly, one of the ladies on Promethean Action stated in one of the episodes that, while the Democrat Party has been hijacked by the marxists, he, Trump, is the actual Democrat of old.
My liberal brother got furious when I said that Trump was a democrat who seized control of the republican party. Like Reagan, he didn't leave the democrats, they left him.
He is his own brand. He is the middle ground. Dems are off the reservation left. Republicans are weak. Conservative Right is crazy. Trump’s constituents are the left right center normies.
Left or right, there are some people who truly love America and want it to be great again.
Conversely, most politicians are owned by the people who want to destroy us.
Yeah, normal people love God country.
I stopped saying left and right. Going back to kindergarten: right and wrong.
Matthew 25:31-46 ironic isn't it?
There is also this: https://youtu.be/LixJECmbfNY?si=ZZuNLY1Omt9hMTLN
A message for the entertainers.
Great find! Thanks, I'll be sharing this one around the bluegrass crowd...
You make us Reagan Republicans feel old.
Will it make you feel younger if I said that I registered to vote when you had to be 21? That I was in college when JFK was assassinated?
Oh, I feel fine, young is just a concept anyway. I was 21 when I registered also and 3 was in the ninth grade when Kennedy was shot.
We love the ladies of Promethean Action and listen to their wisdom as often as possible
Agree Cookie. And he has freedom on steroids since he also knows that Russiagate and impeachments and lawsuits and attempted assassinations and stolen elections were all at the hands of Democrat leadership, and he is shed of them and any influence they once had.
Also a number of key actual Dims calling themselves Repubs.
Some still hanging on.
Who are these "figures associated with the MAGA movement"? The MAGA movement is Trump, full stop.
"Associated with" does not mean what you seem to think it does. Trump is the personification of MAGA but without the rest of us he wouldn't even be the president. Even someone as unimportant to this world as I am is associated with MAGA and glad and blessed and hopeful about America for a change. Pessimism is lonely; optimism is its own reward.
77,303,568 is the figure that matters. Name a name, maybe it becomes 77,303,567, still the only figure that matters. Buh bye Cucker go stand with the mullahs.
Indeed. Let's name names. Cite the source not some cowardly troll.
I stopped watching Tucker when he became possessed with UFO’s. Perhaps he has been visited by aliens who now inhabit what’s left of his mind after the Jew hatred virus destroyed the rest of it. Or perhaps he is demonstrating a variant of TDS.
I suspect Democrats are actually aliens, sent to destroy us. Only half-kidding...
They Live! 🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️🕶️
Since we disposed of all our TV's years ago, I never watched Tucker on FOX. I would occasionally see clips of his show that were posted on conservative sites. When he left FOX, I started watching some of his podcasts - but got turned off with all the giggling & the nonsense he was putting out.
Dr. Greer is the real deal...

I miss Rush, but Charlie Kirk connected to college kids in a way that Rush did not and never would. Charlie was informed and persuasive with a gift for calmly deflating illogical and foolish ideas. He was well on the way to creating grass-roots conservatism among the young in the very belly of the illiberal beast. He threatened The Combine, and we know how that goes.
💯‼️👍
Thankfully T.P.U.S.A. is still growing among the youth and I have heard several 50ish? people say they never miss a broadcast after learning who and what Charlie Kirk was and did.
And Rush discovered him, even seeing him as his natural replacement someday.
I’d like to know exactly what Bible, (not to mention history books), Tucker is actually reading.
It certainly isn’t the one where God Himself had directed His chosen ones, such as King Saul to “utterly slay” the enemy, (and when he didn’t follow that command God replaced him as king), and where practically the entire canon of the Books from Genesis to Revelation involve actual BATTLES of good against evil.
Who exactly does Tucker think was fighting in all these wars, not to mention all the wars since, and against whom?
He’s quick to call out Trump for waging a “disgusting” war, but mighty scant on any criticism of the one the mullahs have been waging upon millions of innocents worldwide for nearly 50 years.
Anyone taking that man seriously, listening to a single word emanating from his deranged and delusional mind these days is choosing to be willfully blinded and deceived.
He has been purchased by Qatar.
Clarity
But he's got great hair. Even Trump admitted that.
I first heard Rush in 1988. His influence on me was present in 2015 during the primary campaign, especially prior to Trump’s entry. I forced myself to put in paper six non-negotiable issues that would prompt my vote, and measured them against each candidate. The results came in “nope, not a chance, nope, no, maybe….” Then Trump entered the fray. After two weeks I was forced to conclude (personalities aside) “holy cow! He’s my guy.” He still is for those six principles and so much more.
Too bad so many people actually believe political commercials on TV and don't do the research you did.
“The Tucker Carlson Crowd wants to take their ball and go home, but as I have shown you, they have no balls.”
There goes my morning coffee!!!
