Who Is Nick Shirley?

My VIP for this week is Nick Shirley, an independent video journalist. Monica Showalter, a seasoned journalist who publishes frequent articles at American Thinker shared the following information about Nick Shirley. She wrote that Shirley  took “his cell phone and a man named David he’s working with, to record and expose massive Somali fraud in Minnesota” – ending with a 42-minute video about the Somali fraud in Minnesota. 

Shirley and his guide, “David” who has done hours of research, take to the streets of Minneapolis on Dec. 26 to ask Somali daycare owners and later, home health care providers, how to enroll someone in their services. They show state data on how many children their daycares serve, as well as millions in federal money received, and find one empty establishment after another, some of them flamingly obvious in their Potemkin operations, with misspelled names, people who say ‘I don’t know’ to every question, people excitedly yelling in Somali, owners unable to give basic information such as price for services, and hangers on filming them with their own cell phone cameras and calling the cops on them for ‘harassment.’

The cops, of course, escorted the two investigative reporters from the premises, unconcerned about the obvious problems with the Potemkin establishments – health care providers without old people, daycare centers without little footprints of kids in the snow, utterly empty of occupants as seen through the glass on a weekday.

They learned that the Somalis notified one another as if in a racket, and many slammed doors in their faces for asking basic questions.

In the most comical moment, a white leftist karen in a keffiyeh appeared seemingly out of nowhere and started shouting behind them to the Somali “day care” owners not open up, that Shirley and David were ICE agents, which suggests a lot of illegal aliens among those taking federal money on false claims of running businesses are actually here illegally, which didn’t come up in the piece….

Shirley and David exposed about $110 million in likely fraud in their day’s work, taking the results to the statehouse, where they were berated by another white karen Democrat wearing a puce jacket with a hall-monitor mien and probably an elected official, who showed no concern whatsoever as to the merit of their claims – of a state that is paying Somalis for fraudulent services and this was just a day’s work….

You can link to Shirley’s video through Showalter’s article. I watched it and was amazed at the blatant fraud. See what you think about it.
