* Illinois Review

On Tuesday evening, Illinois Review hosted My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell as the election integrity advocate addressed a packed ballroom in Bolingbrook to discuss his latest initiative as voters prepare for the most consequential election in our nation’s history in November.

Lindell is on a nationwide tour to promote his Election Crime Bureau – an initiative that he has largely self-funded that provides tools and resources to grassroots activists free of charge in an effort to secure elections in communities and cities across the country. To date, Lindell has over 300,000 volunteers nationwide, including in Illinois.

* Mr. Lindell is at the Statehouse today and posed for photographs…

And yes, that’s Darren Bailey in the second pic. Rep. Marty McLaughlin (R-Barrington Hills) is in the top photo. Rep. McLaughlin is facing a super-tough general election against Democrat Maria Peterson.

    He needs to hire Tom DeVore to see how he might grift for external funding.

    ===…My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell as the election integrity advocate…===

    That description is downright Orwellian.

    Also, Chairman Mao called. He wants his suit back.


  3. - ArchPundit - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 1:53 pm:

    Sorry–we try not to let him out of the state.


  4. - Flyin'Elvis'-Utah Chapter - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 1:54 pm:

    Being a con man, I can handle. Always been able to spot grifters a mile off.

    But dude also welches on bets. That, in my book, makes him an entirely different snake.

    Pictured: the concept of irony, dying


  6. - Rudy’s teeth - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 1:56 pm:

    Wonder how many cartons of pillows Bailey bought to rub elbows with Mike Lindell?


  7. - Socially DIstant watcher - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:00 pm:

    Are MyPillow ads back on Fox yet? They got taken down last fall when MyPillow fell months behind paying its bills.

    I could watch Fox to find out but to do that I’d have to watch Fox.

    Another proud moment for Illinois Republicans.


  9. - Donnie Elgin - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:02 pm:

    Vote GOP - for a good night’s sleep


  10. - Cable Line Beer Gardener - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:04 pm:

    2024’s version of jumping the shark.


  11. - Gravitas - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:06 pm:

    I have met Mike Lindell twice.

    His product is a comfortable and fully adjustable pillow that many people like.

    Politics aside, Lindell is an entertaining and likeable person. Cheerful and humorous.


  12. - low level - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:09 pm:

    And yet the only election fraud cases resulting in convictions have been against MAGA Republicans.


  13. - Cubs in '16 - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:09 pm:

    Top: Lindell poses with a young Andy Kaufman lookalike

    Bottom: Bailey walks away dejected after Lindell asks “Darren who?”


  14. - Route 50 Corridor - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:12 pm:

    Tuesday evening the Illinois Association of Snake Oil Salesmen welcomed their keynote speaker Mike Lindell to Springfield.


  15. - very old soil - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:13 pm:

    Auditioning for the role of Tom Hanks in “BiG”. That suit made me think of the final scene of the movie.


  16. - Steve - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:13 pm:

    Mike Lindell proves Andy Kaufman is in fact .. alive.


  17. - Jocko - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:14 pm:

    To Elvis’s point, I wonder if Mike is charging for photos? He has about two weeks to cough up $5 million for losing the ‘Prove Me Wrong’ challenge.

    Is election integrity advocate the 2024 version of female body inspector?


  18. - very old soil - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:16 pm:

    Is the suit too big or the arms too short? You would think he could afford a tailor.


  19. - Keyrock - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:16 pm:

    - “Top: Lindell poses with a young Andy Kaufman lookalike.”

    If you believe there’s nothing up my sleeve . . . .


  20. - Anon221 - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:22 pm:

    To the first photo, RE the blurred thumbs…

    You go first.

    No, you go first.

    OK, sigh…Rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock???


  21. - Huh? - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:26 pm:

    As always, poor beetle is on the outside looking in.

    What a pitiful looking bunch. Republican’ts the super minority party of Illinois.


  22. - Demoralized - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:42 pm:

    Bankrupt grifter visits Springfield.


  23. - Huh? - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 2:47 pm:

    Have I got a deal for you, buy two of my pillows and I will throw in a travel size pillow for free. Not only that you will receive a free gift valued at $20. But wait, there is more, for a mere $39.99 you can get a life size cardboard cut out of me holding one of my pillows.


  24. - Jerry - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 3:17 pm:

    Great catch with suit….very old soil.


  25. - Give Me A Break - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 3:24 pm:

    Lindell meets with the entire Illinois GOP to discuss their election successes.


  26. - JoanP - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 3:25 pm:

    = the election integrity advocate =

    a/k/a conspiracy theorist


  27. - Steve - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 3:28 pm:

    Brought my pillows for Bailey to fill with fluff.


  28. - Shark Sandwich - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 3:49 pm:

    Today, in a move similar to other performing artists objecting to politicization of their work, Talking Head’s singer David Byrne issued a cease and desist letter to MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell to stop using his oversized suit for campaign and publicity appearances.

    “You may find yourself. At the head of a large, lumpy pillow corporation…”

    “If Springfield seemed extra crazy today, now you know why.”


  31. - Fivegreenleaves - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 5:41 pm:

    As a devout, bible-believing evangelical Christian, I wouldn’t buy so much as a feather from one of his pillows. I don’t vote or support people who put their faith in the store window for personal and political gain.

    “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.” -Matthew 6:5


  32. - 47th Ward - Wednesday, Mar 6, 24 @ 6:00 pm:

    ===I wouldn’t buy so much as a feather from one of his pillows.===

    Not to worry. There are no feathers in his pillows. Only bits of shredded foam material.
