Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | The Morning Report - 2/18/21 [J.J. Sefton][I]f I were president-elect of the country, it's the last thing I would say. Even if I believed it, I doubt that I would put it this way. But I don't believe this anyway. Our darkest days are ahead of us? What a bleak way of looking at things. ...We Americans have adapted to our problems. ...Our freedom has allowed our adaptability. If disaster is coming our way, we don't just sit there and endure it. We come up with ways to avoid it, to beat it back, to overcome it, but we don't just sit there and accept it. And, as such, we don't just resign ourselves to the fact that they're living in the darkest days because we, at least to this point, still have the greatest degree of freedom of any people on earth. Now, it's under assault and under attack and we all know this. But I don't believe our darkest days are ahead of us. I never have. People have been asking, "You've always told us you'd tell us when it's time to panic. Is it time?" It's never time to panic, folks. It's never, ever gonna be time to give up on our country. It will never be time to give up on the United States. It will never be time to give up on yourself. Trust me.There's been an ocean of ink and pixels spilled on the subject of leadership. While Rush lamented what he perceived to be a failure, nothing could have been further from the truth. He (and Donald Trump) effectively awakened millions of people to the rot, corruption and danger that for so long we were unaware of or, worse, refused to see. No one person, not even Rush Limbaugh can fight this fight alone, though that in no way takes away from his achievements which I believe in the fullness of time will be a key to changing the course of history for the better. Rush Limbaugh was the voice of freedom, the voice of America. I don't know where I would be today without him and for sure I don't know where I'll be tomorrow without him either. May the Lord bless and keep Rush Limbaugh.

When great men like Andrew Breitbart and Rush Limbaugh are taken from us too soon, I have to wonder what demonic pacts the octogenarian leadership in government have made to remain in good health for so long. The only way to explain it is with a deal with the Devil. Or it simply takes that long for the Devil to arrange for their permanent accommodations...

At a music site I used to comment at there was a lib who confided to me that he really liked Rush and that he'd called into his show multiple times to argue with him but respectfully and was treated likewise. I think Rush's sense of humor and good spirit won him over.

Alex Marlow's Breitbart News Daily has dedicated his show today to Rush and all the caller and guests have been telling stories and paying tribute to him. One guy was nearly in tears moments ago when he finished speaking. Seb Gorka and David Webb are coming on in the 8am hour.
He had a caller earlier talking about all the nastiness coming from the left over Rush's death. He said they have the Presidency, the Senate, and the House and they still aren't happy. Just full of hate. Also loved the note that Reagan sent to Rush after Bush lost to Clinton from the Byron York's NR repost article in the sidebar.

>>But it was more than just his presentation of events, facts and truths. It was his incredibly sharp wit and humor that minute after minute effectively pantsed Leftists and their sacred cows that kept Rush Limbaugh relevant, vital and successful for 33 years
I started listening to Rush in the early 2000's. I had already made my transition from Left by default to not Left (thanks, CSPAN and Bill Clinton!). What was a revelation for me after I gave Rush a try was this: -- Rush did his research and knew the details. He provided a lot of background and info that the MSM never got to --Rush understood how the Left thinks and reacts It was the combination of knowing the facts/details + knowing the Left that made his insoght and analysis unique and incredibly valuable. No one succeeds in a 3 hr/day, 5 days/week for decades on hate and bombast. Not possible. -- Posted by: Lizzy at February 18, 2021 08:03 AM (bDqIh) 41

What they have gotten incredibly wrong is that Rush never told people what to say and think. He was only articulating what millions and millions of us were already saying and thinking but who never had a voice nor a national platform on which to say it.
_____ Spot on. Of course, they always say that about Trump, too. And any other effective conservative. It never occurs to them that we might have already thought that. I've often said that I converted Mrs Eeyore from liberal to conservative. Rush helped a lot in that. Don't recall exactly, but we met in 1987, and married in 1989.

My heart is extremely heavy, as if a family member has passed. Typing words on a tiny screen simply don't convey how adrift I feel, how sad. When he first announced his diagnosis, I was overcome. It was then that I wrote to him and told him how very much our family cared for him, as a person, like a dear friend, like family. And I meant it. My journey to Rush mirrors JJ's.

It more or less coincided with my political consciousness-raising, which stirred during the Clarence Thomas hearings and became fully awakened ten years later on 9/11.
++++ I was only five years old when that confirmation happened (I'm a young'un, I know) and as a little kid I didn't know what was going on. I do, however, remember my dad watching the confirmation on TV and he was filled with a towering moral outrage at what the Dems - including Joe Biden and the scrunt from California - did to Thomas. His reaction stuck with me. When I rewatched those hearings later, I understood it fully. The Thomas confirmation was, I suspect, a turning point for many.

You had another guy - Trump - talking about how things are tough but there's brightness to be found and that the best days are still ahead of us. Putting aside policies, personalities and whatever else, that single distinction showed how big a difference there was between the two. The choice was obvious.

What set Rush apart from the various wannabes like Hannity and Levin was his wit and humor. While he was often derided as 'just an entertainer' that also helped him connect with the audience in ways that the super-duper serious squad never will. An unfortunate loss, though not unexpected given the nature of his illness. I honestly don't follow Rush very closely but it's my understanding that he significantly outlived his initial cancer prognosis.

An Age has ended; a new one is dawning. We still have great influence over what that new era is and means, either through our actions or our inactions.
I feel compelled to repeat this thing I've said so many times. We must stop expecting some champion, some hero to sweep in and put things right. That is not the American way; it feels at times as if even we have forgotten exactly what that means now! Identify your strengths. Catalog your resources. Make your plans and prepare for the onslaught. Is this the end of America? In one form, perhaps. But a part of me--deep in this depressive skull of mine--believes there is great potential for a glorious renewal. Do not let their work be in vain. "Failure is not an option - it is mandatory.

This is INSANITY. _______________ We do fund weapons development in Iran. What do you think all those billions in currency and gold that Obama shipped to them was used for? And Mexico's second biggest source of revenue is the income it receives from Mexicans living and working in the U.S., most of them illegally. And much of that money undoubtedly finds its way into the bank accounts of the drug cartels.

This is something I noticed going back to the 70s, or even the 60s. I recall the shock in NY that Hasids started voting our way. In college (70s) it was common for a bunch of us, Jews, Catholics, various Protestants, to get talking over beer, and deriding the wimps in our respective groups. This covered both liberal religion, and liberal politics. C S Lewis had noted this much earlier. Posted by: Eeyore at February 18, 2021 08:44 AM (7X3UV) 167

This new drop of life expectancy propaganda is really pissing me me off.. From the CDC own pumped up statistics, 81% of corona death are above age 65, with 31% above age 85. Average age, of death attribute to corona is about 77, one year less than he US average. Yet somehow has caused the entire US life expectancy to drop by a year, even though it is around 10% of the total deaths and it is the new panic talking point. ...
Posted by: Ripley at February 18, 2021 08:42 AM (MxEKc) ++++ Life expectancy *when?* I can't imagine it has shifted "life expectancy at birth" (they key development indicator). It may well have shifted "life expectancy at 50" or "life expectancy at 60" or one of the other standards, but the key development indicator of "life expectancy at birth" probably didn't move.* * Not because of the 'Rona, though the response might actually shave some decimals off the key indicator. The youth suicide increase, which has been a terrible a brutal trend for a decade, is getting shockingly worse under the 'Rona response regime.

Two random things -
1: For those interested, I GREATLY RECOMMEND listening to Rush's audiobook of The Way Things Ought To Be, especially the first half. He talks about the show and his thoughts on what has made it a success. It also very neatly debunks pretty much everything his rabid detractors say about him. MUST LISTEN. 2: There's a dusting of snow in NoVA today, and predictably everything is closed, including virtual schools. Yep, FCPS closed all online schools because of...weather. Again, I'm even more firmly of the opinion that teachers aren't really all that necessary now. Show videos to the students and have the tests graded by grad students.

From the sidebar-
Man, we've been having the same argument with the progressive Nazis for 30 years- - only now (thanks to NeverTrump and Conservative, Inc.) they won and can do all the things they've lusted to do for 30 years. That's because we've never had leaders in the Republican party with sincere beliefs. Look at McConnell, Chinese shill. I'm ashamed to have him as the leader of the Republican party. With Trump's victory in 2016, the Reps finally had everything they needed to deliver on their promises. And instead spent their time thwarting Trump and his voters. Even to the extent of purposefully losing the House. Rush, as always saw things ahead of the crowd, I remember, I believe it was sometime fairly early into the Obama administration, where he said (something almost exactly like this): I get a lot of requests to support this or that Republican politician, and usually I would, but - I'm not going to support any more politicians just because they're Republicans. I have to believe that their going to move the Conservative agenda forward. I think that's our mission going forward. No Republican poolitician's seat should be safe without proof..

G'mornin', Horde, and Amen, JJ !
As saddened as I am by Rush's passing, I also have a growing feeling of, what?, timeliness?, cosmic synchronism? ... ? maybe just a sense of hearing the grinding of the gears that keep everything spinning along ... a feeling that in so many ways we are entering into a new time, we have learned a lot of new lessons, and Rush, having walked with us down this path, has left a space, now, for a new voice to rise to meet these times. I have no idea what that will mean, or what that voice will say, but I know that every death also means a birth somewhere. and if you feel both hope and a little fear as you read this, I'm right there with you.

Some moron (Grump?) said that people were leaving their taps on so that their pipes didn't freeze and it drained the tanks, so the water suppliers had to shut off the outlet lines to the homes in order to refill the tanks, and since the mains went dry they have to have sufficient disinfectant before the water can be used again. Hence the boiling.

I was picking up a sandwich at Which Wich last year when my mother texted me. "Rush has lung cancer!" Later that week in Hereford, TX I heard the actual broadcast on a weekly recap show. Now, I knew that the odds were against him but I looked at his case with guarded optimism. After all, Rush was a happy warrior and would want no less.
Nonetheless, hearing his wife on the radio yesterday was hard, as crazy as that sounds in regards to a man I never met but only heard on the radio. When I was first listening to his show, I was a young lad still in high school! Now...not the best of circumstances, but I'm here. And for those past 28 years, through good times and bad, hearing Rush from 11-1400 CST was a common denominator. And now? Stopped cold.

Sure, there is massive waste like you described with leaving taps running and from things like people using automobiles as inefficient power and heat generators. This is all true. But none of it is due to renewables (or, as someone here calls them, "unreliables").

I wear earbuds so I don't have to hear the endless droning propaganda over the speakers (damn, who ever thunk we'd miss Muzak!) and I literally race around grabbing what I need and getting to the self-checkout and outta there as fast as possible. Gaiter pulled down as I walk out the door. (I will not wear a real mask unless absolutely forced to.)
Posted by: Guy Smiley at February 18, 2021 08:55 AM (Bmy3R) ++++ Korger/King Soopers has gone full retard. Not sure if it is true in Krogers in other parts of the country, but boy is it obtrusive in CO. The constant propaganda - both placards and over the PA - enrages me to the point that I don't shop there anymore for anything other than cheese and bread. I get meat and produce from the Korean supermarket now. Prices are the same or better and while they require masks there is no other baloney.

Erickson was the worst Rush sub. Medved was a little better.
Remember, Chris Matthews subbed for Rush in the 90s. I used to enjoy when the seminar callers would all pile in on sub days thinking they'd get some easy trolling in and then it was Mark Steyn or Walter Williams and they got schooled even harder than if it were Rush.

Speaking of winning but still being angry:
Four progressive Peacock [NBS streaming service] talk hosts expressed strong reservations about "platforming" Republican guests on their streaming shows in the currently divisive political and media atmosphere. Mehdi Hasan, Zerlina Maxwell, Michael Smith and Michael Holley, on a virtual TCA panel . . . tackled the topic that has become increasingly relevant . . . Hasan, host of Peacock's The Mehdi Hasan Show and also an MSNBC contributor, poured cold water on the idea of inviting Republicans on his show. While he insisted he relishes debate, citing a recent on-air "row" with conservative former U.S. national security advisor John Bolton. . Maxwell, who hosts Zerlina, picked up on the point. "I'm never letting us live it down that we let Donald Trump be the president for four entire years, all the way up to and including insurrection," she said, "and there are still people who went along with that and are taken seriously in polite company. I think that needs to be a little more examined. . . It's not that we don't want to debate. It's that I want the person that I debate to be living in reality." You don't want debate.

I first discovered Rush in 1990. I was stationed in Korea and worked swingshift fixing jets. It could get pretty lonely out there in the hardened aircraft shelters so i bought a little portable AM/FM Cassette that clipped onto my belt. At 7 PM, AFKN (Armed Forces Korea Network) would play an hour or two of Rush's three hour show. I remember thinking, wow, this guy's got his shit together.

Like most of you, I loved Rush Limbaugh like he was my much smarter younger brother. He always saw further down the road with a clearer vision than the majority. He had exray vision when it came to looking through liberals, and I listened to him from the very beginning. Mark Stein is my choice for EIB. Now as to Eromero's puny problems, running 2 generators for heat, able to navigate the roads to obtain gasoline, stores empty but we have lots on hand and have shared with neighbors. Known damage is 1 burst hot water line which we shut off. Cold water faucets dripping to avoid bursting. Texted Helena Handbasket, Gingy, and Tom Servo, varying degrees of privation but at least we ain't in the gulags. Yet.

Rush (as pastor?) saw the utility of Trump early on, and tried to bring some of the "conservative haters" along with his understanding. Rush was a moderating voice, trying to avoid the schism. That was when some were of Cruz, some were of Rubio, (few for Bush) ... but Rush (iirc) was trying to get the hard core "conservatives" to come along with Trump. --
Some did in time see the light, and others (NeverTrumpers) were exposed as being wolves in sheeps clothing, they were corporate Democrat shills the whole time.

Trump never said anything negative about immigrants. He did say he wanted to reduce illegal immigration, which is a very different thing. And it's something the majority of Americans want as well. As for saying bad things about Mexicans, what he said was that they send a lot of criminals here, which is an undeniable fact. Anyone who doubts the truth of that statement just needs to take a tour of our prisons here in Arizona, and you'll soon realize how right Trump is. Arizona prisons are full of illegal aliens from Mexico who have been convicted here of rape, murder, aggravated assault, home invasions, and many other crimes of violence. The New Mexican Mafia (and that is not a reference to the state of New Mexico, it is the Mexican Mafia, in a "new" form) is a Mexican gang that controls several of the prisons in Arizona (as well as in California, New Mexico, and other states).

Now that Rush is gone, I suppose that we will have to endure the launch of several Failure Theater Faux-Rush Programs.
That's something to watch out for. Of all of Rush's subs, Steyn comes closest to Rush's sly sense of humor. I usually laugh and am entertained when he's on. The others....not so much.

A few years back, I read an article about a study/survey that concluded that a significant plurality thought that a civil war was likely and a majority thought it was possible or likely. I said at that time, "then it is likely inevitable in some fashion. If things have degraded to the point where we're seriously asking the question at all, things are bad enough for it to happen."

The President;s own lawyer did not realize the corruption in every news room, and the propaganda in every news reader report. Every single story is being spun, almost regardless of topic. Here is a major story and it is a total calumny. In a just world the press, especially those who disagreed with PDJT, would have rushed to take down this propaganda, lest they entirely lose their credibility. They do not care, however, since the press is monolithic and will never report bad news for the left. Posted by: Junkie Hunter Biden's Underage Nieces at February 18, 2021 09:27 AM (euCiN) 364

Like Fen said, "grass is green" assumption. I asked her for specific evidence of him being racist. She responded by asking (almost DEMANDING) that I provide evidence that he's NOT racist.

This is, of course, due to us picking among all the types of materials and treatments those that better hold up to their environment. Leftist propaganda is designed to do that to people. It materially transforms their ability to associate with other humans in a positive manner and apply reason to questions dealing with society. Their propaganda forms an unthinking ablative shield, made up of their followers, against any opposition to "progress". Not by happenstance but by design.

Been watching a lot of old, classic NFL games on the youtoobs. Things have changed so much. Cheerleaders, national anthems, defenses allowed to defend, a team called The Redskins...
Watching a late-60s game where the Bills QB, James Harris got injured, so the aging and infirm Jack Kemp had to come in. Then Kemp gets a concussion. In comes the only guy left on the roster who can throw the ball, WR Marlon Briscoe, who had been a college QB and came into the NFL as one before converting to WR. Then, unbelievebaly at this point, Briscoe gets injured. Kemp comes back in and the announcer says (paraphrasing but close): "And Jacky Kemp will have to shake off those cobwebs and come back into the game!" Times have certainly changed.

Object 1 was get states to send unsolicited ballots
2 was to scoop them up any way shape or form to be filled out by Leftists 3 replace the ones not sent with fake ballots Posted by: Skip at February 18, 2021 09:45 AM (Cxk7w) 431
Seriously guys, it wasn't enough to influence an election where Biden only won by 43,000 total votes.

TX under a biden admin will flood it with illegals- and will be enough to put that chode licker in. then it goes from mostly dead to actually dead (our chances at salvaging the Republic).

>>The Puppet Usurper didn't mention his passing at all.
Also hasn't mentioned Texas? It may be that given his condition, he can't learn his lines that quickly. That requires quick response - minutes, an hour - where it may take work just to wake him up, get the meds in his system, appear functional *and then* start teaching him lines and working on correct demeanor for the delivery.

Rush commanded the Space Shuttle. Hannity's riding his bicycle with training wheels around the cul-de-sac, ching-chinging his little bike bell. There is simply no way he's the standard bearer of anything. I find him to be a simpleton, a complete bore, a superficial thinker.

Posted by: Jack Burton, who says its all in the reflexes at February 18, 2021 09:48 AM (ogfNv) TX has ALWAYS a +3-5% Republican state. The Cruz/O'Rourke election fell firmly within this margin of effort. Illegal immigration should be opposed firmly on the principle of the fact that if I have to face the dicks at CBP to re-enter my own country, everyone else can face the same.
