My first objective is to make a difference. zero people’s minds about Everything — including Mike Lindell.
Second, having written for RedState for over a year, I’m fully aware of the comments to come — good, bad, mad, indifferent. Moreover, I’m good to go with “all of the above.” I didn’t get wherever I am by preaching to the choir. This is what I did. It was never my thing. It will never be.
Question: What have Sidney Powell (Lin Wood) and MyPillow Dude Mike Lindell got in common?
Answer: All three have made ridiculous allegations and wild-a** predictions in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election that never had a snowball’s chance of being proven true.
In the months following the election, Powell trotted out in front of every TV camera she could chase down and promised “biblical” revelation after “biblical” revelation, all the while assuring us the Kraken was on the way. No biblical revelations were given. Zero Krakens showed up.
As her absurd claims and forecasts continued to mount, Team Trump ended all ties with Powell.
Wingnut Linwood predicted that Vice President Mike Pence was going to be executed by firing squad. For “treason,” no less. In reality, neither of these were ever fulfilled. My fellow Hoosier was also more Trump-friendly than any other member of the Trump government. Period.
We are now at Mike Lindell.
First, let me say that I admire Lindell’s self-saved life by saving myself from the dangers of drug addiction. From himself but also for becoming a successful businessman beyond what I’m sure were his wildest dreams at the time. On a personal level, there is no greater American success story.
Dude should stick with pushing pillows, however.
As has been the case with Powell and Wood, Lindell has made ridiculous allegation after ridiculous allegation, and ridiculous prediction after ridiculous prediction — zero of which have come even close to reality. His Voter Fraud Cyber Symposium was the most embarrassing. He promised digital proof of hacking in 2020. Yet?
Big, fat, nothingburger. Experts in attendance said that by the second day, he’d provided little more than a scattering of information.
Yet? Lindell touted this extravaganza to be all-but world-changing. Are we to be surprised? He has traveled with a lumpy pillow and sheets as well as mattress toppers and slippers that have cost him a few hundred million dollars. Let’s just say P.T. Barnum would have loved it.
However, the hype does not end.
Lindell published Tuesday the copy of the long-promised Supreme Court suit he claimed will invalidate the 2020 presidential election. But the complaint still hasn’t been filed. He posted the entire 82-page complaint on his website, even though he didn’t file the suit by Thanksgiving like he promised.

On Tuesday, Lindell also told Steve Bannon (former Trump adviser) that the details of his lawsuit would be made public during an 96-hour marathon on FrankSpeech’s FrankSpeech website. Lindell has repeatedly vowed that his lawsuit would somehow “reinstate” Donald Trump as president.
Lindell stated today that while he had his suit ready for filing with the Supreme Court and has not been able to get the consent of any state AGs. He says he spoke to several and it’s “very disturbing” to him that they “gave no answer” why they “didn’t want to be any part of it.” pic.twitter.com/JQBDn6sCiZ

During the appearance on Bannon’s The War Room, Lindell said his life has been “chaotic,” of late.
(Emphasis, mine.)
“We’re flying around the last couple of days and it’s been very chaotic.
“We do have a full copy of the complaint with any of the changes that they needed and we’re going to have a great update for you.
“It is historical. I’ve seen the complaint. It is fantastic.”
Lindell told Bannon he’s met with “many” state attorneys general about the non-suit suit.
“I met many AGs. Yesterday, I spoke on the telephone with 4 of them. Some of their lives are so busy that they have not even finished last Friday They gave them the opportunity to resist these mandates until today where kids had to take the vaccine.”
This has never happened. Despite Lindell’s repeated claims that multiple state attorneys general would sign the suit, there was no filing as of Wednesday morning. Why?
“You know a lot of things are happening out there that are very suspicious,” Lindell teased.
“It is kind of like herding cats. Different ones can be at different levels.
“I do have some — a couple — which I don’t want to announce right now that said straight-up we’re not going to do it.”
We don’t really know what this means.
“What else would it be?” Lindell asked. “I don’t get it.”
Yes. He continues to underdeliver, as has always been the case for Lindell. Do you have the signatures for the state attorney general? Do you have the documents? Where are the “world-changing” revelations he promised as he hyped his cyber symposium?
Here’s the thing. Regardless of where one stands on the 2020 election, there comes a time, as the old idiom wisely suggests, “If the horse is dead, dismount.” If we’ve learned anything from Sydney Powell, Lin Wood, and yes, Mike Lindell, it’s that the horse was never alive.
Please, could someone inform the horse.
MyPillow man? You can go back to pushing pillows.
