The Empty Hall Exposed: Why This Laughable Straw Poll Proves the Machine Is Weak, the 80% Are Awake, and Parrish Is the Fighter Who Will Lead the Reckoning
Phil Parrish here—retired Navy Lieutenant Commander, 21-year intelligence vet, fraud whistleblower who’s dragged the daycare rings, COVID grift, election sabotage, and nonprofit-corporate-political looting into the daylight where they belong. Last night’s precinct caucuses and that pathetic straw poll? A gift from God Himself.
Latest tallies (71% reporting as of this morning): House Speaker Lisa Demuth leads with around 4,255 votes (~31%), Kendall Qualls at ~3,552 (~26%), Mike Lindell at ~2,357 (~17%). The rest—including me, Kristin Robbins, Scott Jensen, and a solid bloc of wise undecideds—split the field in the low-to-mid single digits and ~6% undecided.
Total votes cast statewide? Roughly 13,000–15,000. In a state with 3.75 million registered voters. That’s not a mandate—that’s a whisper in an echo chamber. The “establishment favorite” crowd just crowned their horse in front of fewer people than fill a decent county fair grandstand.
And that’s exactly why this is the best news the real base has had in years.
To the wise undecideds—those 800+ souls (and growing) who looked at the donor-approved slate and said “none of the above”: You’re not sitting this out—you’re standing firm. You’ve seen your hard-earned dollars funneled into the same black-hole nonprofits that prop up the criminal networks I’ve been exposing. You know the system isn’t “broken”—it’s rigged by design. Your refusal to play along is the spark. You’re the conscience of the party, and you’re waking up the rest.
To my supporters and Kristin Robbins’ supporters—the parents fighting rigged schools and wasted taxes, the taxpayers tired of the grift, the fraud fighters who demand real accountability: We’re the ones naming names without apology, filing the suits, blowing the whistles, and refusing to cozy up to the syndicate. In this tiny insider pool, our combined strength already shows real grassroots fire—people responding to unfiltered truth about the looting rings bleeding Minnesota dry. We’re not chasing donor applause; we’re building the coalition that actually represents working families. When the wise undecideds see that clarity and join forces with us, the fractured remnant becomes unbreakable. The convention they hope fractures us? It becomes their nightmare. The general election against the DFL machine? A full-on reckoning for constitutional integrity.
This straw poll isn’t a setback—it’s divine confirmation. The uniparty machine, the nonprofit grifters, the country-club diners—they only control a microscopic activist slice that fits in a few school gyms. The 80%+ of Minnesotans who’ve been disenfranchised by skyrocketing costs, open theft, and stolen futures? They’re not in those rooms. They’re waiting for someone who will dismantle the networks, not manage them.
That someone is me—and together with principled voices like Kristin Robbins, we’re the ones positioned to unite the fed-up, the faithful, and the forgotten.
I’m the lifelong Minnesotan, farmer, father, teacher, administrator, and Navy vet who still believes in the Savior who overturned tables on the corrupt. I’m the whistleblower who’s spent years shining unrelenting light on the racketeering that keeps the syndicate fat while families suffer. With faith guiding us, truth exposing the rot, and a growing army ready to act, we don’t just compete—we reclaim this state for the people it belongs to.
The establishment is sweating because their echo chamber just proved how small it really is. The lapdog media can hype Demuth’s “strong showing”—we’ll keep dropping the receipts on the real looting.
To the base: This is your moment. The machine is tiny. The people are mighty. The rot is exposed. And with courage, unity around the Parrish campaign, and the fire of truth, we don’t just win—we rebuild Minnesota on the strong foundations our Founders intended, with integrity restored and the guilty held to account.
The counter-insurgency is live. The 80% are rising. And the looters are about to face the daylight they’ve feared.
Faith first. Truth exposes. The networks get dismantled.

(That’s the “massive movement” they’re peddling—half-empty halls and insider nods. The real one? It’s mobilizing in living rooms, farms, and churches across Minnesota. And it’s unstoppable.)
Stay faithful, brothers and sisters. Hope is rising—the best fight is ahead.
