His pillows are the biggest scam since the carpet sweeper. Lumpy chunks of foam for $65.00?!?!?!. Not comfortable. And a rip-off. Don't waste your money on his pillows or your vote on this cheesy sham wow tv pitchman wannabee.

His pillows are not a scam. It would only be a slight exaggeration to say his pillows changed my life. Not snoring is good, and MyPillows basically cured me of snoring. There may be better pillows on the market...at some obscure website, I guess. But the pillows sold at major retail outlets, suck. The MyPillow brand is vastly superior to the cheap crap at Bed, Bath & Beyond, or wherever-the-Hell. Anyone who thinks $65 is too much to spend on a good pillow, is probably some guy in their 20s who doesn't need a good pillow.

My cat also spends several hours per day lounging on his My Pillow "dog" bed, so that was also money well spent.

I've hears similar things from folks I know who have also purchased his pillows.

Guess it's going to be hard to run now that he's been permanently banned from Twitter.

That seems like a good way to run our republic.

Text of email a friend of mine recently received from Mayor Murphy:

When you defund the police…crime skyrockets. In Minneapolis – one of the first cities to defund the police – homicides are on track to DOUBLE from last year, and the defund activists are DIRECTLY responsible.

Now – Joe Biden is going to defund the police across the nation. We all know what is going to happen.

Can they not see the correlation between fewer cops and more crime, or do they simply not care? Are we going to sit back and allow them to put our families in danger?

Mike MurphyMy name is Mike Murphy, and I am a proud family man, a small business owner, the Mayor of my city, and a retired police officer. After watching the BLM and Antifa hordes loot and burn towns in my state, it pains me to watch Joe Biden reward them by defunding the police in your town.

I am running for Governor here in Minnesota on a straightforward premise:

If you loot, we shoot. Period.

If you are offended by this, you can stop reading and go back to group therapy. If you believe in law and order, I need to know that you are standing behind me with your donation to his campaign.

The statistics are clear – more law enforcement officers have been shot and killed in the line of duty at this point this year than last year. More than 125 officers have been shot in 2021 – 26 killed by gunfire, and 35 shot in 27 ambush attacks!

I need conservatives across the nation to stand with me so we can stop the riots and finally restore order in our country.

BLM RiotsWe saw our cities burning, and we saw the liberals cheering. We saw Joe Biden and Kamala Harris benefit politically from the riots and pretend to stand against them.

Defunding the police will strip law enforcement of our ability to keep our streets safe, and it will ensure this is the most violent and crime-ridden summer in American history. You and I must stop them.

If you oppose the Defund Democrats’ radical effort to strip law enforcement of critical resources, I ask you to step up and join my campaign today.

For Our Children,

Mike Murphy
