MyPillow Sues Dominion Voting Systems for $1.6 Billion
MyPillow sued Dominion Voting Systems on April 19 for $1.6 billion, asserting that the election technology company unlawfully interfered with the free speech rights of CEO Mike Lindell.
Attorneys for MyPillow claim that Dominion has engaged in bullying of Lindell, a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump, over his attempts to speak out about allegations of fraud in the 2020 presidential election. In February, Dominion sued Lindell and his company for defamation, seeking $1.3 billion.
“Defendants, in their role as agents of the state administering public elections, have conducted an expansive illegal campaign which was designed to, and did, punish and silence any voice that criticized or questioned Defendants’ actions or products,” the lawyers wrote in the 51-page suit, which was obtained by The Epoch Times.
“Defendants’ illegal campaign to punish and silence their critics violates the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment as applied to the states and their political subdivisions and agents under the Fourteenth Amendment and 42 U.S.C. § 1983.”
The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court in Minnesota.
Lindell, in a live stream on his new Frank Speech website on April 19, called the matter “the most important case in history for your First Amendment rights”
Dominion legal counsel Stephen Shackelford told The Epoch Times via email, “This is a meritless retaliatory lawsuit, filed by MyPillow to try to distract from the harm it caused to Dominion.”
Bill Maher: ‘I Don’t Want Politics Mixed in With My Medical Decisions’
Political commentator, comedian and host of “Real Time with Bill Maher” calls out the media for pushing COVID “panic porn.” Maher said polls show Dems are “wildly off” when it comes to how many people are in danger of being hospitalized for the virus.
Bill Maher’s latest new rule is this: “Don’t spin me when it comes to my health.”
In the segment below, the political commentator, comedian and host of “Real Time with Bill Maher” accuses the medical establishment, media and the government of taking a “scared straight” approach to getting people to comply with their COVID recommendations.
“When all the sources for medical information have an agenda to spin us, you wind up with a badly informed public,” Maher said.
The truth, said Maher, is that only between 1% – 5% of people end up needing to be hospitalized for COVID, despite the media’s non-stop “panic porn.”
Not only that, citing figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Maher said 78% of people who end up “hospitalized, ventilated or dead” from COVID are obese — something news outlets are “too polite” to talk about.
What the media isn’t hesitant to do is to policitize COVID — a phenomenon Maher said he finds offensive: “I don’t want politics mixed in with my medical decisions.”
In his “New Rule” segment, Maher — whose political views are largely seen as ranging from liberal to libertarian — revealed findings from a Gallup poll showing about 70% of Democrats were “wildly off” on the key question of how many people who get COVID end up being hospitalized. The poll showed liberals have a “greatly exaggerated” view of the danger of COVID, and of the mortality rate among children.
“If the right-wing media bubble has to own things like climate denial,” Maher said, “shouldn’t the liberal media have to answer for ‘how did your audience wind up believing such a lot of crap about COVID’?”

Democrats’ Two Reasons For D.C. Statehood: Power & Money
This week, the House of Representatives will vote on H.R. 51, a bill admitting Washington, D.C. as the 51st state. This bill is flatly unconstitutional and would be tied up in the court system for years, creating confusion until its inevitable defeat.
Given its unique constitutional status, the federal city of Washington, D.C., can only become a state upon ratification of a constitutional amendment.
This is not the first time D.C. has tried to become a state. In 1960, the Democrat-controlled House rejected statehood for the district. They instead settled on the 23rd Amendment, granting it votes in the Electoral College — which is now the principal constitutional obstacle for statehood.
Congress rejected statehood again in 1993, with current Majority Leader Steny Hoyer voting no. Last year, the House passed a bill granting D.C. statehood, but that measure was also unconstitutional. Wisely, the Senate never considered it.
The factors mitigating against past statehood attempts have not changed. Due to the 23rd Amendment, they have only become more complex. If Congress granted D.C. statehood and the 23rd Amendment were not repealed, the downsized federal district would still have three Electoral College votes.
Congress could then grant these votes in whatever manner it saw fit: perhaps to the First Family, who would likely be the only residents in the federal district, which would give them the same amount of say in the presidential election as the state of Vermont; directly assign them to the presidential candidate who aligns with whatever party controls Congress; or simply not assign them at all, in direct violation of the 23rd Amendment and creating a constitutional crisis.
Vandals leave pig head, smear blood outside former home of Chauvin defense witness
The former home of an expert witness for the defense in the trial of Derek Chauvin was vandalized with blood early Sunday morning, with vandals leaving a pig head on his doorstep, Daily Mail reports.
Vandals smeared the animal blood on the home in Santa Rosa, California. Dressed in all black, they fled on foot when the homeowners called the police after they tossed the severed pig head at the house.
References to pigs are commonly used by anti-police activists to deride law enforcement officials, and anti-cop graffiti often contains references to such animals.
The damage caused to the home amounts to more than $400, constituting a felony.
The residence is the former home of Barry Brodd, an expert witness in the trial of Derek Chauvin. Brodd, however, no longer lives at the residence, nor does he live in California.
“Mr. Brodd has not lived at the residence for a number of years and is no longer a resident of California,” police said. “Because Mr. Brodd no longer lives in the city of Santa Rosa, it appears the victim was falsely targeted.”
Brodd, a veteran of the Santa Rosa Police department, is now a private consultant who sometimes serves as an expert witness on police tactics and procedures. During the Chauvin trial, Brodd testified that Chauvin was justified in using the level of force which he used to subdue George Floyd because Floyd was resisting arrest.
