That happened to me and my Mom one Friday afternoon, in the 1990’s, while waiting for my daughter’s Kindergarten class. We listened to Rush L. daily and we looked at each other with the old “aha!” moment. It was easier for me; she had to overcome hearing her departed Father’s voice: you are Irish, you are Catholic, and you are a Democrat! We went to Voter Registration the following week.😎

It’s been 4 years since Rush died. I listened to him almost every day for 20 years whether living in Kansas or Germany (AFN radio) he was a constant in my life. I still catch myself wondering several times a week what Rush would have said on his show about this crazy world if he were still alive. He’s the only person who I didn’t know personally but truly miss him like I did. See you on the other side of heaven, Rush! I hope Jesus lets you run the radio station.

I miss him too, and I also frequently wonder what his take would be on a current event. He was truly the brightest, most entertaining political analyst ever. But I actually thought just the other day that Jeff is starting to take his place.

Jeff is definitely filling the void of not having Rush to interpret the news. I always save C&C to read when I can fully take in the article and the comments. Absolutely my favorite in Substack, with Don Surber to follow.

I call Jeff the “Rush Limbaugh of Substack.”

He truly is!

I heard his bumper song this morning on the radio as we were driving to church and I said the same to my husband. Rush would have loved this period in time with Trump. He was definitely one of a kind! May he rest in peace.

Maybe time for The Jeff Childer’s Show? I’d listen!

I miss Rush and remember exactly where I was the first time I heard him! I thought at the time - Wow! This guy is saying what I believe!

I’ve always voted Republican. It always seemed common sense to me. But brava to you for also being logical!

Yes, grew up with parents who always had unquestioning support for FDR. In fact, my mom used to tell me as a child she kept hoping he’d show up for dinner. But I think both mom and dad wouldn’t recognize the party now.
