One of the many stories to come out of the 2020 presidential campaign was that President Donald Trump blew through $1.1 billion and didn’t move the needle in his polling.

Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker’s new book, I Alone Can Fix It, details a bizarre bet between disgraced former campaign manager Brad Parscale and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell over who was better at creating campaign ads. 

According to the book, Trump was fascinated with the “deal” he thought Lindell was getting for ads on Fox News. Candidates theoretically are supposed to be given the lowest ad rate, and cable news advertising is notoriously cheaper than networks.  Continue reading.

Trump-loving MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has been saying this week that former President Donald Trump will be returned to the Oval Office next month — a claim that even Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) shot down this week for being outlandish.

One of Lindell’s purported weapons in his war to put Trump back in the White House is a lawsuit that he filed against Dominion Voting Systems that he claimed would expose the company’s supposed role in stealing the 2020 election for President Joe Biden.

According to Reuters judicial reporter Brad Heath, however, Lindell’s big lawsuit is already facing setbacks in court. Continue reading.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell on Wednesday lashed out at his critics after claiming that The Washington Post is releasing a “hit piece” to disprove his claim that the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent.

“The Washington Post is coming out with a hit piece,” Lindell told Steve Bannon during an appearance on Real America’s Voice. “Since we announced the cyber symposium with all the packet captures that we’re going to reveal for the whole election — 37 terabytes of packet captures.”

Mike Lindell’s Fans Confused as Frank Social Media Site Fails to Launch

Fans of MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell on the chat app Telegram were confused on Friday as his new social media network failed to come online.

Mike Lindell threatens to sue Anderson Cooper over brutal CNN interview

A little while back, Minnesota pillow-slinger, Trump cheerleader, and white guy blues aficionado Mike Lindell went on CNN to discuss oleandrin, a supplement he and a company called Phoenix Biotechnology are pushing as a cure for COVID-19.

Oleandrin is derived from oleander, a very pretty but highly toxic flowering shrub. It has been observed in some studies to have interesting effects on heart rate, which might, with time and careful, peer-reviewed study, prove to be useful in the treatment of some heart conditions.

However, the narrow sliver of potential between ineffectual amounts of oleandrin and a lethal dose is making experts a little wary about properly vetting its usage; it is, in fact, the very compound that makes oleander so lethal. Continue reading.
