Rush Limbaugh, voice of American conservatism, has died

Limbaugh, the talk radio host who became the voice of American conservatism, has died. Unflinchingly conservative, wildly partisan, bombastically self-promoting and larger than life, Limbaugh galvanized listeners for more than 30 years with his talent for sarcastic, insult-laced commentary. “We’re supposed to be horrified by the protesters,” Limbaugh told his listeners the next day after the Jan. 6 attack. AdRush Hudson Limbaugh III was born Jan. 12, 1951, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to the former Mildred Armstrong, and Rush Limbaugh Jr., who flew fighter planes in World War II and practiced law at home.

Nearly a year after sudden exit, Shepard Smith returns to TV

The 56-year-old newsman, a Fox News original who joined that network at its start in 1996, says he's relishing the fresh start. Smith left more questions than answers upon his Fox exit, leaving others to speculate about why. His 3 p.m. newscast stood out at a network where opinion is king, and sometimes he challenged statements made by the network's prime-time hosts. Asked about it, Smith said that “I had felt like it was time for a new challenge for a long time. With CNN, MSNBC and the broadcast networks courting Smith, CNBC was considered an underdog, at best.

Australia seeks more control over deals with foreign states

China is Australia's biggest trading partner, but Australian leaders are sensitive about Chinese political and economic influence. The Chinese foreign ministry cautioned against disrupting successful pragmatic cooperation" with Victoria. Australia in 2018 passed sweeping national security laws that ban covert foreign interference in domestic politics.

The proposed legislation would give Payne power to scrap international deals struck by state governments, public institutions such as universities and sister-city partnerships.
