And the Keynote Speaker at the Sangamon County Republican Lincoln Day Dinner This Year Is...

This guy.

Loves, loves, loves his warrior "brother" Whiskey Mango Hegseth.

What kind of guy is @PeteHegseth ? He’s the kind of guy that worked in an industry known for insecurity and undercutting your peers and decided to be the opposite.

From day one he could’ve looked at me as “another vet” trying to poach his opportunities, but without hesitation…

Loves, loves, loves Il Douche...

They said he was an unqualified and couldn’t do the the job.
They called him racist and a bigot.
They used salacious accusations that were proven false to attack his character.
They used his failed marriages to say his hates women.
They found a member of his family to use…

Despises Joe Biden...

If @JoeBiden threatened the Taliban the way he just threatened Americans who don’t want to wear a mask or get the vax he might have ended the war in Afghanistan.

You have disgraced our people and dishonored our sacrifice. You are a weak lying snake oil salesman and we see you. We see who you are now more than even. God have mercy on your soul, 50 years is a long time to lie, cheat and steal from your own people. @JoeBiden

And, just for fun, drops a big hint as to why Kamala Harris campaigning with Liz Cheney failed to flip Republican votes:

When you die OF OLD AGE you’ll be buried with Halliburton money. Your kids and grandkids will inherent Halliburton money. When you cry at night over means tweets, you’ll wipe your tears with Halliburton money. My friends in Arlington died earning Halliburton more money. https://t.co/m9lUJDOsgm

I'm sure he'll be a huge hit with the local meatheads.  After all, this is the big local Republican fundraiser, and donation and sponsorship options remain the same as last year when their keynote speaker was Trump's very own then-soon-to-be brownshirt deportation goon, Tom Homan.

The year before that the headliner was serial liar and David Plouffe's bestest podcast buddy, Kelleyanne Conway..

The year before that, it was Charlie Kirk, which I wrote about at the time.

And before Chuckles Kirk it was Candace Owens, which I also wrote about at the time

And before that it was Jason Chaffetz, one-time congressperson and Fox News troll who I believe now lives in Donald Trump's underwear drawer, which, yep, wrote about that one too.

The year before that it was Fox News in-house train-wreck/barfly,  Jeanine Pirro.  Wrote about that.

The year before that wingnut-network-job-hopper and H.R. Haldeman stunt-double, Corey Lewandowski.

The year before that, in 2016, it was none other than Fox News prime-time Gorgon and Keith Olbermann's former girlfriend, Laura Ingraham.
 
And on and on and on.

If you were ever curious about how we out here in the cornfields have been so consistently, dead-on accurate for decades with our predictions about the trajectory of the Republican Party, while our elite professional political media has been so repeatedly and catastrophically wrong about the GOP, it's really pretty simple.  Unlike our our elite professional political media, we actually live out here in the real world, chock-a-block with real Republicans who have never been shy about what they really believe.   

In fact, as I was writing up this obscenity last year, the Hugh Hewitt Show was playing on one of the two big radio station in the area.  He's on 9AM-12PM, Monday through Friday.  And if I didn't want to listen to Hewitt, I could always tune in to the other big radio station in the area where, at that moment, the Brian Kilmeade Show was playing.  He's on 9AM-11AM, Monday through Friday.  

Later in the day, on the first station, you get Sean Hannity followed by Mark Levin.  

Later in the day on the other station you get Dana Loesch followed by Erick Erickson 

The first station pads out it's weekend offerings with America First with Sebastian Gorka, The Larry Kudlow Show, Newsmax's own Chris Plante on the Chris Plante Show and, hilariously. The Weekend with Michael [Heckuva Job, Brownie] Brown.  Now that Gorka has been hired by the Trump regime to scare small children, I dunno is he's still on the air.

The second station takes its foot off the wingnut gas over the weekend with shows like American Family Farmer,  Let’s Talk Cosmetic Dentistry and The Jesus Christ Show, but it does find room late on Sunday night for Judge Jeanine Pirro.

This is the ambient radio environment out here in much of the real world -- the poison that Republicans out here in the real world are steeping in every day --  and it's been this way for going on 40 years now. 

And there is absolutely no fucking way to fail to notice it, unless your job as an elite political media professional is to deliberately fail to notice it.
