MY PILLOW....10/14/23

Mike Lindell, or “The Pillow Guy” as he is sometimes referred to, is supposedly a devout follower of Jesus Christ.

The former crack addict attributes his recovery to his religious conversion, which is all fine and good. More power to him.

So Lindell built a successful empire from pillows by personally espousing the virtues of his sleep aids on TV and everything was fine.

But then he became born again….again….and began following another “savior” with as much zeal as his devotion to Christ. That “messiah” was Donald J. Trump.

Lindell has spent years, along with his own money, propping up the false narrative of the “stolen” 2020 election and is now deeply in debt, unable to pay his lawyers who have been defending him in multiple defamation suits.

He’s now willing to bankrupt his company, throwing hundreds of people out of work, if that’s what it takes to resurrect Trump.

This is what cults do to good people.

TAKE MY HAND....10/13/23

It's becoming more and more obvious that Democrats in the House of Representatives will have to step up and bail out their friends on the other side of the isle since Republicans can't agree among themselves on anyone to lead them.

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries suggested just that yesterday when he said his side was "ready, able, and willing to do so."

This is the logical approach and I couldn't agree more.

By reaching out to moderates on the other side, Democrats could easily coalesce around a palatable leader with the understanding that power would have to be shared, resulting in a bipartisan government body.

Hardliners on both sides must be emasculated if we are to survive as a democracy and there isn't a more perfect opportunity than right now for real (not fake) patriots to step forward and put the country ahead of themselves....you know, for a change.

THAT WAS DUMB....10/12/23

We've all seen famous people fall from grace. 31 year old Sam Bankman-Fried may be falling the furthest of any of them.

He's the guy who got in way over his head and allegedly stole billions of dollars from his crypto customers by using it to buy luxury property in the Bahamas, to pay millions of dollars to politicians, and to prop up his failing hedge fund.

His girlfriend at the time ran the fund and now she, along with a couple of Sam's long time friends, are testifying against him in order to save their own skin. It's a "touchy" situation to say the least.

It seems they got blinded by "the good life" and even though they had a sense that things were going down hill fast, they ignored the writing on the wall until it was too late.

Bankman-Fried went from being worth $11 billion to being penniless practically overnight.

Now he's facing life in prison.

We all do dumb things now and then so I kind of feel sorry for him....but then again not.
