    MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, one of Fox News' biggest sponsors, says he is pulling his ads "immediately and indefinitely" from the network. In an interview with Brannon Howse of Worldview Weekend TV on Thursday, Lindell said he made the decision because Fox News refused to run a commercial for a symposium he said would prove his voter-fraud claims involving the 2020 election. Election officials - Democratic and Republican alike - have found no evidence of widespread voter fraud.Lindell said his commercial would not have mentioned his claims of voter fraud, The Wall Street Journal reported.

    VIDEOAfter over a month away from social media since he split Twitter on February 10 following his grand announcement of the Good Pillow company whose name now probably belongs to a gun company since he was too clueless to register it before announcing it to the world, David Hogg is back with a new shtick whose purpose is really to make you forget he ever ridiculously hyped pillows. Yes, in his grand return on March 23, gone was even the hint of PILLOWS which is apparently now a taboo subject for him. Instead he wants you to focus on peace...

    These are the fellow Americans of all backgrounds and affinities, gun-grabbers like David Hogg, and rope-selling capitalists like Kohl’s and Bed, Bath & Beyond who are willing to see losing their jobs as collateral damage in their campaign to destroy MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell for his political beliefs. (MyPillow/Facebook) “Parkland survivor David Hogg [is] taking on MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell,” the New York Post reports. “[H]e’ll team up with the progressive tech entrepreneur William LeGate in an effort to create a rival pillow firm.”This development coincides with the announcement that Hogg is taking a leave of absence from March for...

    This pillow fight has gotten even more serious. Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg has stepped down from his gun control advocacy group in the wake of his public spat with conservative MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. Hogg, 20, announced on Twitter on Thursday that he is taking a leave of absence from his position as board member for MarchForOurLives. “I’m going to take the time to focus on school, my passions, and my overall well being,” he said in a separate tweet. Hogg went on to allude to his public confrontation with Lindell last week, when he said he’ll take the...

    No disrespect to Mr. Mike Lindell, but the My Pillow commercials are becoming quite monotonous. He needs some fresh material. Also, disappointed that he has to go to Egypt for his cotton. What’s wrong with home grown American cotton?

    For generations, freshmen cadets at the United States Military Academy have marked the end of a grueling summer of training with a huge nighttime pillow fight that is billed as a harmless way to blow off steam and build class spirit. But this year the fight on the West Point, N.Y., campus turned bloody as some cadets swung pillowcases packed with hard objects, thought to be helmets, that split lips, broke at least one bone, dislocated shoulders and knocked cadets unconscious. The brawl at the publicly funded academy, where many of the Army’s top leaders are trained, left 30 cadets...

    SOCHI, Russia, A Minnesota businessman says he hopes to alleviate one of the many pains in the neck to surface at the Sochi Olympics -- a shortage of pillows for athletes. Mike Lindell, founder and chief executive officer of My Pillow, said he had heard rumblings of the shortage and was even called by a Chicago radio station, asking if his company would intervene. Lindell agreed and has readied a shipment of 3,000 pillows to be sent via FedEx to Sochi, the (Minneapolis) Star-Tribune reported Saturday. The only problem -- he doesn't know where to send them. Multiple shipping addresses...

    When Scott Hardy hits the road, he always makes sure to leave room in his suitcase for his stuffed animal. That's right, the 34-year-old businessman always travels with Barkley, a stuffed beagle. No, it's not for his two daughters. No he doesn't sleep with a nightlight and no he isn't smuggling drugs. Seven years ago Hardy's then girlfriend, now wife, gave him the doggie as a reminder of her. "I travel enough that it's a nice reminder of home," said Hardy who runs an online legal notice company, Top Class Actions.

    From Notoriously Conservative:My wife and I bought some nice new couches. I foolishly concluded that I was done spending money and I could now sit comfortably; no, no. Saturday I was notified that we needed some decorative throw pillows, so that they could sit on the couch and not be used (my words). Wisely, I acquiesced, thinking that a few dollars for a peaceful weekend was well worth it. Have you ever priced throw pillows? $30 dollars for a 1 foot square piece of cotton-puff, wrapped in fabric, should not cost $30. Am I mad, or is $120 for four...

    I have a good idea for how we can "weclome" Nobama to the debates this Friday. I call it the "$15.00" way because a cheap pillow and a reliable delivery service should cost to send Barack Obama a pillow to sit on when he's wearied by the excruciating task of having to lower himself be in the same room with his opponent and answering to the American people. Saturday Night Live may have shown their ultimate bias by removing the video from the internet (http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2008/02/24/snl-cnn-debate-moderators-totally-tank-senator-obama) but WE can show them and the world that WE remember a time not long...

    KOSOVSKA MITROVICA, Serbia-Montenegro - Getting a good night's sleep in the Balkans can be rough for peacekeepers bunking in a military camp far from home and family for months at a time. So Danish researchers are testing an unusual solution — MusiCure, a soft pillow that chirps like a bird and is designed to lull soldiers to sleep in Kosovo, Iraq and other hotspots. With built-in speakers, the white pillows release sounds from nature combined with acoustic instruments such as cellos to provide a serenade designed to help stressed-out minds shed unpleasant thoughts. Its designers say that if it works,...
  • Pillows - a hot bed of fungal spores

    Researchers at The University of Manchester funded by the Fungal Research Trust have discovered millions of fungal spores right under our noses - in our pillows. Aspergillus fumigatus, the species most commonly found in the pillows, is most likely to cause disease; and the resulting condition Aspergillosis has become the leading infectious cause of death in leukaemia and bone marrow transplant patients. Fungi also exacerbate asthma in adults. The researchers dissected both feather and synthetic samples and identified several thousand spores of fungus per gram of used pillow - more than a million spores per pillow. Fungal contamination of bedding...
