I woke up this morning with two words heavy on my heart and in my prayers: Purity Tests. Egos.
You know exactly who I’m talking about. The same self-appointed hall monitors in Republican circles who spend their days deciding who’s a “good Republican” and who’s a “bad Republican.” These egotistical narcissists aren’t out exposing the daycare fraud rings, the COVID relief theft, the election rigging networks, or the nonprofit grifters bleeding Minnesota dry. No. They’re too busy running purity tests on actual fighters—candidates like me—who are trying to drag this state back from the brink of collapse.
Here’s the question that should expose them every single time: If the purity testers are so pure, why aren’t they running for one of the uncontested DFL/DSA seats?
Those safe, rigged districts where the syndicate’s candidates cruise to victory without a real fight? The ones the DFL machine treats like their personal ATM? Funny how the loudest finger-pointers never put their own “pure” names on the ballot there. They’d rather sit in safety, sniping at patriots doing the hard work.
Imagine what could be accomplished if these same people focused their energy on going after the real criminals and their enablers—the political operators, nonprofit looters, corporate cronies, and street-level thugs who’ve turned Minnesota into their personal racketeering operation. Instead of manufacturing scandals against fellow Republicans, they could be dismantling the fraud networks stealing from our kids, exposing the rigged systems, and backing candidates who actually charge into enemy territory. We’d be winning seats, reclaiming tax dollars, securing our farms and families, and restoring real justice. But that would require courage they clearly lack.
And here’s the dirty little secret they don’t want you to say out loud: these are the very same people who keep handing the DFL machine victory after victory. While real candidates roll up their sleeves and charge into the uncontested strongholds, the purity testers throw rocks at their own side. They fabricate scandals, project their own sins, and whisper judgments based on fake information and twisted perceptions. Meanwhile, the real racketeering syndicate—political, nonprofit, corporate, and street-level—keeps operating with impunity.
Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone.
For those fabricators and projectors who ignore their own rotten behavior while trying to crucify the innocent, Scripture is clear. And we know what becomes of hypocrites who play god with other people’s reputations.
The majority of Minnesotans don’t want to be labeled “Democrat” or “Republican” anymore—and I don’t blame them. It’s because too many so-called leaders have turned the party into a circular firing squad run by narcissistic sociopaths. These people aren’t arbitrating for We the People. They’re either useful idiots or active collaborators for the anti-American, anti-Christian forces that have turned Minnesota into a playground for racketeering.
I’m a retired Navy Lieutenant Commander with 21 years in intelligence. I’ve spent my life exposing fraud and defending this constitutional republic. As a farmer, father, teacher, and lifelong Minnesotan—and now a 2026 Republican candidate for Governor—I’ve seen the DFL syndicate up close. I know what real corruption looks like. And I can tell you this with zero corporate-speak and zero hand-wringing: the biggest obstacle standing between Minnesota and real recovery isn’t just the DFL machine. It’s the egos inside our own tent who would rather lose with their “pure” little club than win with patriots who actually mean business.
We the People are done with the games.
We are taking our constitutional republic back. We are dismantling the looting networks that have rigged our elections, stolen from our children, and turned honest government into a criminal enterprise. We are restoring rule of law, safe streets, strong families, secure borders, thriving farms, excellent schools, and an economy that works for the working parent in Minneapolis, the teacher in Duluth, and the farmer in West Concord. No more purity tests. No more ego-driven sabotage. No more handing the state over to the syndicate on a silver platter.
This fight isn’t about party labels. It’s about survival—and it’s about winning for our kids and our future.
If you’re a genuine candidate staring down these same purity-testing hypocrites while you try to expose the real criminals, hear this: you are not alone. The narcissistic gatekeepers may scream and project, but We the People see through the smoke. We are rising. We are united by truth, by faith in our Savior Jesus Christ, and by the iron-clad conviction that Minnesota belongs to its citizens—not to the grifters, the riggers, or the self-worshipping egos who enable them.
The collapse stops here. The reclamation begins now.
Let’s make the guilty sweat.
