One week ago, 23-year-old Nick Shirley was relatively unknown in the public sphere. But in recent days, he has gained hundreds of thousands of followers and millions of views, amplified by Elon Musk, Vice President JD Vance and FBI Director Kash Patel.

The MAGA leaders promoted Shirley’s video of himself and a Minnesota activist investigating federally funded facilities in the state that allegedly posed as daycares without any children present. It’s part of what many on the right say is widespread government assistance fraud perpetuated by the Somali community there.

Shirley’s experience could only happen in today’s media and political environment – where seemingly anyone can go viral, helped along by social media gatekeepers like Musk. His Minnesota investigation video has garnered over 116 million views on X and 1.6 million views on YouTube - a number that most traditional newsrooms would trumpet as a major success.

In a failing economy with good jobs that are scarce, this may be a good alternative for you.

Just turn into a private investigator and begin to investigate the never-ending corruption on the Left you see around you.

It reminds me of the investigators who went into Planned Parenthood and video recorded them offering to buy body parts of aborted babies.



Unfortunately, Kamala Harris and company took legal action against them, however, and ended up making them look like the criminals even though they never proved that the videos were not real. Such illegal and unethical behavior no doubt continues, but we should still fight. It's not like Legacy media or our politicians will uncover such corruption, so it is literally up to us.

So, get busy everyone!!!!

This guy is a real journalist which is very rare.

Good thing Derek Chauvin is in prison, because Nick is alive today because of that. Chauvin, if out, would off Nick without blinking an eye, and the Coroner would fudge the autopsy again and Chauvin would walk again... as he did 6 times prior to Floyd.

Let's get to the links between Deep State ( Planned Parenthood) , Israel , Ukraine , US and UK.

See my recent thread on Organ Harvesting and the role played by these centres .

Why would Israel suddenly be interested in Somalia / Somalialand ?

What a surprise . What a coincidence .

 

[pknopp]

Remember Musk saying massive arrests would start the next day?

Remember the claim "Big Balls" was going to uncover billions in waste and everyone was going to get a check?

Remember "they are eating dogs"?

If there is fraud, I hope all involved are brought down.........

I imagine in two years from now we will have.......

Remember the massive fraud in Minnesota?

Even Fox News notes his claims are outlandish.

Fox’s Jessica Tarlov Says There’s ‘No Way’ a YouTuber Uncovered More Than $100 Million of Fraud in Minnesota ‘On His Own’

Fox News co-host Jessica Tarlov expressed skepticism over a single YouTuber managing to uncover more than "$100 million worth of fraud on his own" in Minnesota.

Why? So I can risk everything for a country packed with more shit than Elvis' colon?
What am I gonna risk my freedom and livelihood for? 50M illegals? Jews who can just as easily flee to Israel?
Low IQ, violent blacks? Sanjeet's right to get another subsidized grant for his next Circle K?
The only people who go to prison in a corrupt system are the whistleblowers. White ones, primarily.
I spent twenty-five years in the US military fighting for Israel and the MIC. I am keeping my part of the bribe.
I'm out.

 

[sparky]

So, get busy everyone!!!!

So basically Nick Shirley is bringing what was a decade of investigations by Fox to social media?

~S~

Surely you can't be serious!

I am serious! And stop calling me Shirley!

Of course, you quote one of the few liberals on FOX in a weak effort to give your claim credibility.
Face it, pal: your party is 100% corrupt.
The mainstream media is liberal/far left. They're totally in the tank for the Democrat Party. They have absolutely no interest whatsoever in uncovering a scandal that paints a couple of their Chosen Ones, Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar, in a bad light. So they've looked the other way.
Meanwhile, an enterprising young journalist who cares more about the truth than pushing some putrid party narrative, has blown the lid off yet another disgusting Democrat scandal.
It must be embarrassing to be a Democrat nowadays.
Luckily, I wouldn't know.

The gears of the .gov turn slow but at least one federal agency is withholding monies from MN, hopefully more will follow.

The gears might turn slow but they are massive gears that you don't want to be caught-up in if you are MN.

With any luck, the careers of Omar and Walz will be destroyed and those are two of the most annoying anti-American Leftists in politics at the moment.

You don't even make sense.
You're not a serious person.
Which is why you're a Democrat.

Did you wake up this morning, thinking, "I'm going to be the biggest asshole I can be today!"?
Or is this your usual state of utter confusion?
You're off your chain. You're not even making sense.
