Short, somewhat irrelevant post this morning as I have another medical appt. shortly.

Somehow, I got on this guy’s mailing list:

Mike Lindell Being served on Live TV at CPAC 😆

I immediately marked it as spam. However, I do check my spam filter every morning to make sure it didn’t catch anything I want/need. Over the past week, I’m stunned by the sheer volume this guy spews via email. I’m getting somewhere between 8-10 emails per day from this bozo. Many of them come at like, 3 or 4 in the morning.

The other crazy thing is the schizophrenic nature of the emails. They ping pong between trying to sell me crappy stuff and trying to lure me in to every MAGA wet dream issue. Here is a sampling of the Subject lines of a recent spate of emails:

  • Massive Giza Dreams Sale 🔥Queens = $69.99 - Kings $79.99!

  • Should I Buy Gold and Silver in 2026?

  • DC Judge Sanctions Mike Lindell & MyPillow! Your URGENT Support Is Needed Now!

  • Celebrate Mother's Day With Our Giza Dreams Sheets Sale!

  • Save Up To 80% On Closeout Items!

  • Under Bill Clinton, the word ‘cure’ quietly disappeared from medicine

  • Celebrate Mother’s Day! Premium MyPillow Queen ONLY $18.98!

  • Feel joint relief in minutes — get your FREE tube today

  • Your URGENT Support Is Needed Now!

I’ll be back later - after I urgently click on frankspeech.com to support Mike Lindell while feeling joint relief, buying gold/silver, celebrating Mother’s Day early and trying to wrap my head around why in the world Bill Clinton doesn’t want medicine to cure anyone. Lots to do thanks to LindellTV!

In a more serious vein, it’s stunning that people take this guy seriously. I’m not sure if it points to the cult status of MAGA or a deep sickness that runs through our American culture.

I’m a math guy, so I look at life like a Bell Curve. There are always people that are out on the extremes. But to follow this guy, one needs to be 4 or 5 standard deviations out from the mean. I’m talking batshit crazy.

Scary.

At 15 feet tall, the statue of President Trump, mounted on its 7,000-pound pedestal, is about the height of a two-story building — a giant effigy cast in bronze and finished with a thick layer of gold leaf.

For more than a year, the golden statue has been at the center of one of the stranger moneymaking ventures of the Trump era. A group of cryptocurrency investors paid $300,000 to have a sculptor create it as a tribute to Mr. Trump, an outspoken crypto proponent.

Then they used it to promote a memecoin called $PATRIOT.

The sculptor didn't get his due 🤣

In text messages reviewed by The Times, Mr. Cottrill said he was owed $75,000 for the intellectual property rights to the statue. “You are using my copyrighted image in marketing your token!” he wrote to one of the coin’s backers last month. “Yes lol as we planned to from day 1,” replied Ashley Sansalone, a crypto developer who worked on $PATRIOT, as well as a separate coin called Elon GOAT.

Digby: "As I said, look for this monstrosity to be moved to the White House, whether inside the “ballroom” or outside in the hero garden alongside Gene Simmons of Kiss."

Crazy. Like I wrote, the bell curve means there a segment of our population that is susceptible to this stuff 🤷🏻‍♂️

The crazy part of THIS bell curve is a lot thicker than it should be.

John Rogers set the number for the crazy factor at 27%, and damned if that doesn’t seem to hold up.

Somebody just showed me a poll of how Americans felt about same-sex marriage these days. With the three options being "yes," "no," and "not sure."

The number of people who still say "no?" 27%.

Crazification Factor - several standard deviations out from not just the norm, but from reality...

The Crazification Factor has turned into one of the best political truisms of this century.

Right up there with Cleek's Law.

When our side finally gets a shot, we need to crack down heavily and make a big public display of the serious actual harm and expensive broken promises of quackery, through the FDA, the FTC, medical boards, the executive freaking branch, and any other available tool.

Quackery is an important funding and social tool of the modern right wing populist movement, and attacking that would strike a serious blow.
