VICTORY! Despite having received sufficient votes and filing the requisite Declaration of Intent to be a Republican Precinct Delegate, I was told by Canton Township election officials that I was not certified as a delegate in the wake of the August 2026 primary election. I was not alone. A total of 17 Republican precinct delegates were similarly denied certification. The reason? In my case, Canton Township revealed that it had not submitted the Declaration of Intent form to Wayne County. The remedy? Per Canton Township election officials, there was no remedy. The election was already certified. As a former middle school teacher or mine was fond of saying, "tough noogies". I didn't accept that answer. In addition to pursuing FOIA requests to gain a better understanding of exactly how this happened, I searched MI statutes on my own for a "remedy". Upon completing my research, I submitted a letter to Wayne County citing why they needed to remedy this abrogation of my rights. The result? See attached. I am now a certified Republican Precinct Delegate for Canton Township Precinct 15. Furthermore, I am advised that other Wayne County Republican Delegates previously denied their certification have now been certified. Bottom line: You can fight City Hall. In order to do so, however, you need to be tenacious, informed and faith-driven. @RealLindellTV @realMikeLindell @MIGOP @migop11 @WayneCountyRC

There is a fact about abusive people and parasites. They take and take and take from the producers — the farmers, the workers, the veterans, the families who build and pay — then cry victim the moment you stop the transfer. They are violent, dishonest, and ill-intended by design. When their cycle of extraction is threatened, they escalate. They do not negotiate. They attempt to silence, destroy, or kill anyone who will not let them continue. Stand up to the abusers. Stand up to Iran. Stand up to the Islamist systems that export violence and demand submission. Stand up to the Münchausen-by-proxy parasites who create fake crises and permanent dependents so they can keep feeding. Do not allow them to pillage, plunder, and kill hardworking, decent people any longer. Minnesota belongs to the producers, not the extractors. We see the pattern. We end the cycle. Christ is King. No more surrender.

Hello Alex Alex Alex, Let me summarize the book UNELECTED in a nutshell. The Industrial Revolution created a class of private citizens with unimaginable wealth. Many were reviled as robber barons (e.g., Rockefeller of Standard Oil). Others had a better image, like Andrew Carnegie. These new rich decided because they had money, they had a responsibility to do good by the world. So they started building global philanthropic networks that could go into every country. In order to do so, they hired Department of State and Department of War and other state officials. They quickly took over the country's education system starting in the 1920s to train them in the "international mind." When the intelligence community truly sprang up in World War II, the IC hired from ... these same shadowy philanthropic networks. And after WWII, they all coalesced on the same goal: the best chance at achieving a human utopia is to bring the entire world to "democracy." Except it turns out converting countries to democracy isn't so simple as just financing CIA coups. Did all those NGOs question their own assumption might be flawed - that not every peoples, not every culture and religion is compatible with "democracy"? No. Instead, the Trilateral Commission in the 1970s concluded that a more technocratic route was necessary. And over many iterations - the Balkans and African adventures of the 90s, the Iraq & Afghanistan ventures, Arab Spring and color revolutions ... every failed iteration of "democracy" always resulted in the same conclusion: the people are dumb, we have to try harder, put more pressure on them, tighten the screws. And now you have become fully self-referential. Anyone who disagrees with you is "authoritarian." Anyone who agrees with you is "our democracy." Voting methods doesn't matter. That the judiciary system blatantly stole the election doesn't matter. And nowhere this is more obvious in your 30th anniversary publication. In your 30th anniversary publication, you had an article from your longtime head of Open Society Fund-Serbia, Sonja Licht. She also happens to be one of the most decorated civilians in Europe and widely considered an expert in "democracy:" 🔹 Pro Merit Medal of the Council of Europe 🔹 Star of Italian Solidarity 🔹 French Legion of Honour Her solution: "I believe the time has come for a responsible, courageous elite, those who care far more about addressing the genuine social problems than about election results. Only a political elite with vision, prudence and a focus on the general good—to whom the electorate, with their active involvement in public life, can cede part of their sovereignty in the elections... spearhead... our struggle to survive." Read that again. The idea of democracy as pushed by the head of one of your foundations is to literally stop "election results" and to have the public cede their trust to a technocratic elite. End democracy to save democracy itself. This is the final form of a project that started a hundred years ago to spread free markets and create global peace and instill self-governance throughout the world. This is your legacy, Alex Soros. Your father spent his life fighting Communism. You, as his protege, will spend your life perfecting Communism. In the name of "democracy."

Stay informed. Stay vigilant. Iran and its proxies will use every tool, every front, every deception available to protect their international industrial-scale criminal enterprise.
Security Alert: U.S. Mission Saudi Arabia (October 25, 2026) Effective October 23, 2026, the Department of State ordered non-emergency U.S. government employees and U.S. government employee family members to leave Saudi Arabia due to safety risks. Iranian-supported Houthis have engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including attacks on civilian airports and other critical infrastructure resulting in civilian casualties and severe travel disruptions. The hostilities have the potential to escalate rapidly beyond that immediate area. U.S. government employees working in Saudi Arabia require special authorization from Chief of Mission to use any airport in Saudi Arabia following recent missile and UAV attacks on airports in the Kingdom. King Khalid International Airport (RUH) in Riyadh announced a partial reopening as of October 25 for domestic flights and some international flights operated by national carriers. A limited number of flights normally based at RUH are operating out of Qassim-based Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz International Airport (ELQ). Operations at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah (JED) are operational with some delays and cancellations. Operations at King Fahd International Airport in Dammam (DMM) are operational with some delays and cancellations. U.S. citizens should be aware of potential attacks on airports, airspace closures, flight cancellations, and travel disruptions.  Please take extreme caution if you choose to use airports in Saudi Arabia.  We recommend checking your flight departure status directly with the airline and with the airport.

📢🚨
FAKE NEWS. The bag tags are not evidence of the removal destination. Aliens are correctly removed to the third country that had agreed to accept them. Those tags were produced by contractors at the detention facility where the aliens were staged, not by the officers executing the removal. The contractors do not have visibility into third-country removal arrangements and defaulted to the home country information already in the file, because they are not part of the process that determines or confirms the destination.

NOT a Texas father! He is an ILLEGAL ALIEN from Mali with a final order of removal from a judge, who said he’s homosexual in order to dodge deportation - despite having a wife and two kids at home. Wonder why @60Minutes didn’t ask him about that.

The information space is flooded with posts that take real events and turn them into immediate collapse narratives. Routine Fed operations become “emergency crash injections.” Startup lab claims become “gold scarcity is dead.” Contingency planning becomes “the grid is about to shut down.” Most of it is engagement farming optimized for reaction. Some of it is worse. We broke down the current pattern with verified examples and clear indicators so you can spot it in real time.

The foreign entity’s public statement was not neutral. Somalia’s Defense Minister told the U.S. Somali diaspora that Ilhan Omar is “one of our own,” sharing ethnicity, blood, and religion, and that she is targeted because she comes from Somalia—not because of U.S. investigations into her immigration paperwork or finances. That is ethnic shielding of an elected official under active federal scrutiny. Minnesota’s record already shows how ethnic framing and community pressure have been used to slow accountability. Whistleblowers and investigators in the large-scale social-services fraud cases (hundreds of millions documented, heavy Somali participation) reported probes being hampered by claims of racial or community bias, with retaliation and political pushback against those who raised alarms. The murder of Melissa Hortman and her husband was a separate act of political violence by a Minnesota man who targeted Democratic lawmakers. It is a reminder that political intimidation and violence already exist in this environment and that threats or leverage against officials and bureaucrats cannot be dismissed as mere rhetoric. Public displays of Somali symbols and dual-language messaging that is innocuous to English audiences and aggressive to the base fit the same pattern: raise the cost of applying U.S. law equally. They published the words. The open-source brief and sources are here: parrish4mn.com/2026/10/omar-… State and federal authorities should treat foreign ethnic appeals and dual-audience signaling around active investigations as the national-security and public-integrity issue they are. No special rules.

In case you missed it: Minneapolis police seized guns and ammo from the apartment shared by Ilhan Omar’s son and his convicted-felon roommate. Abdi (10 prior arrests, felony fleeing at 108 mph) got the weapons charge. Hirsi was not charged. Omar walked past every question. She wants your guns banned.

You call Paul and Sheila friends. You say politics at its best is bringing people with you, not shutting them out. You talk about the green bus and the energy of the people who ran with them. The organization his sons created to carry that work forward removed David and Mark Wellstone from the board in 2018 after they raised questions about roughly $200,000 in overspending and a sharp drop in the cash balance. The brothers asked the group to stop using the family name and wrote the Ford Foundation and Soros’s Open Society Foundations to force a rebrand. After they were gone, it became re:power. David Wellstone said the board’s actions proved they would not honor his father’s legacy. Wellstone Action professionalized the progressive training pipeline that fed the modern Minnesota DFL—Walz, Flanagan, Ellison, and the legislative classes that followed. When the sons of the man whose name was on the door started asking about the money and the direction, they were removed and the name was dropped. You do not get to write the long anniversary tribute about bringing people with you and not shutting them out after the organization that built the current machine shut the family out when they asked questions. Full record: parrish4mn.com/2026/10/wells…
Twenty-four years ago we lost my friends Paul and Sheila, their daughter Marcia, and three dedicated members of his staff: Mary, Tom, and Will. Everyone who was in our state at the time remembers where they were when they learned of the horrific news of the plane crash. But we also remember the green bus, the indefatigable Paul running back and forth in parades, and the joy and the hope the Wellstones brought to our politics. For me as a newbie in government back then Paul was a constant whirling dervish of a lesson in how to stay true to your North Star. One time he asked me how a certain campaign was going and I said “the numbers look really good.” His response? “Really, I mean how does it feel out there? What are people actually talking about? What do they need?” He was right. In his last few years Paul had been diagnosed with M.S. and he couldn’t run back and forth in those parades any more. Instead he and Sheila would just stand on the back of that green bus and wave. But what I most remember was this: they had inspired so many people to run with them over the years that there were hundreds of people — young and old — in their green Wellstone shirts running around that bus, creating so much energy for good that you didn’t even notice that Paul wasn’t running himself. That’s politics at its best. Bringing people with you. Not shutting them out. Doing your work with joy and believing that our democracy — with all its imperfections — is something to cherish and hold up. Paul believed that politics was all about, in his words, improving people’s lives. Let’s remember that now and after the election. And when you vote this week (and you must) remember the good and why you’re doing it. 💚

You sit in Paul Wellstone’s Senate seat and say not a day goes by that you don’t think about him. You say the politics you practice in Minnesota are thanks to Paul and Sheila. The organization his sons created to carry that work forward removed David and Mark Wellstone from the board in 2018 after they raised questions about roughly $200,000 in overspending and a sharp drop in the cash balance. The brothers asked the group to stop using the family name and wrote the Ford Foundation and Soros’s Open Society Foundations to force a rebrand. After they were gone, it became re:power. David Wellstone said the board’s actions proved they would not honor his father’s legacy. The pipeline that came out of Wellstone Action trained the generation now running the state—Walz, Flanagan, Ellison, and others. When the sons of the man whose name was on the door started asking about the money and the direction, they were removed and the name was dropped. You do not get to claim “the politics we practice in Minnesota” are still the green-school-bus populist project after the organization that professionalized the modern DFL discarded the family that founded it. Full record: parrish4mn.com/2026/10/wells…
Not a day goes by that I don’t think about Paul Wellstone as I serve in the same Senate seat he once held. He was an organizer, and taught us that people are more powerful than money. This is the politics we practice in Minnesota, and it’s thanks to the Paul and Sheila.

You worked on Wellstone’s final campaign as a University of Minnesota student. You spent years as a trainer at Wellstone Action. You were one of the trainers at the Camp Wellstone session that put Tim Walz on the path to Congress and then the governor’s office. You are a direct product of the pipeline. In 2018 the board removed David and Mark Wellstone after they raised questions about roughly $200,000 in overspending and a sharp drop in the cash balance. The sons asked the organization to stop using the family name and wrote the Ford Foundation and Soros’s Open Society Foundations to force a change. After they were gone, it rebranded as re:power. David Wellstone said the board’s actions proved they would not honor his father’s legacy. You do not get to run ads using the final campaign film of the man whose sons were removed from the organization that trained you when they started asking about the money and the direction. The green-school-bus populist who talked about farmers and workers is not the same project as the professionalized machine that fed you into the lieutenant governor’s office and then discarded the family.

This is the final ad that Paul Wellstone wrote and filmed before he passed. I've run my campaign with this same philosophy: I'm not running to represent big corporate interests. They already have enough representation in Washington. It's the rest of us who need it.
