‘The dog that didn’t bark’ in Minnesota
American Thinker ^ | 8 Jan, 2026 | Douglas Flint

When the mainstream “journalists” can’t find a legitimate Somali-run business, it must be bad.

The Somali fraud scandal that slow-burned for nearly a decade has exploded with the force of the Pacific Palisades wildfire. Ironically in both events, Democrat politicians laid the ground work for the disaster and left the burning embers that are now consuming them. Indeed, if followed to its logical conclusion, it will be found Minneapolis is just a typical blue city built on a model of fraud that’s been replicated elsewhere: legal and illegal immigration that has allowed them to electorally take over states they would otherwise have no chance in. But that is another story for another time.

When Nick Shirely released his viral podcast of his daycare center fraud investigation, the reactions were utterly predictable. The local politicians cried racism, white supremacy, and Islamophobia. The mainstream media, CNN specifically, made absolute clowns of themselves claiming to have disproved his claims by asking the fraudsters if there was any fraud. None of it was working, and a firestorm hasn’t spread this fast since Curtis Lemay’s boys visited Tokyo one night in 1945. But as Sherlock Holmes found, the real clue is “the dog that didn’t bark.”

By this time, there must be hundreds of leftwing journalists and Democrat politicians searching Minneapolis for a clean, well-run Somali daycare center full of happy children and well-kept record books to show the public. Or perhaps a Somali-run food bank providing food for the hungry. Or a Somali autism treatment center with professional doctors and therapists treating patients. Or a Somali transport company, happily transporting the aged and infirm to their doctor appointments and their shopping needs. Anything to prove Nick Shirely had just found a few bad apples. But like Abraham trying desperately to find ten righteous souls

Or the $700 million of cash stuffed in suitcases leaving the Minneapolis airport headed to Dubai ….

….at the same time an American can’t write a check for 7000.00 without being scrutinized.

So much for Putz’s claim that the Somalis enriched MN culture and economy. More like enriched themselves. They got greedy by running up the scam. Pirates.

The most laughable MSM story on the Somali fraud was CNN trying to attack Nick Shirley’s work. The stupid reporter was shown calling one of the daycares and someone answered the phone and said it was open. The stupid reporter proudly announced that the daycares were legitimate because she was able to get through to one of them. Case closed.

We're being fleeced to the tune of billions of tax dollars by ignoramuses that can't even spell.

Pathetic

Been noticing the “democratic” takeover for years. I knew it wasn’t cause the majority of people believed in the platform. It was clearly engineered election result shaping. Smart, but demonic smart.
We’re gonna need lots more than Donald Trump. Cause the fraud is all over. It’s a battle between government largesse grifters (whole modern democratic party) and the currently being robbed taxpayers.

Do you always have to write “enemedia?” It’s stupid.

Those “legitimate” journalists in Minnesota ignored years and years of obvious fraud - it took a 23 year old You Tuber to uncover the fraud.

His use of video is what hammered it home - while “journalists” at the Minneapolis Star Tribune willingly ignored it all.

There’s naturally a cell/hive of Somali imports in our upstate NY city. They are being injected everywhere into American society, and certainly neo-marxist NY is going to get in on the action.

A Somali family (its actually all hooded girls with one guy standing around watching) runs a chai-tea stand, selling hot cups for takeaway, and their various tea formulas in packets, at our local farmers’ market twice a week.

they are usually pretty busy.

Its all cash of course, and I have no doubt they are on all forms of state/fed welfare too

But I can say I have actually seen a “legitimate” Somali business in operation, as small as it may be.

“searching Minneapolis for a clean, well-run Somali daycare center”

This author does not understand reality. Protestors are trained to CHANGE THE NARRATIVE, CHANGE THE HEADLINE.

The driver of the lead car in the protest that was freedom of speech was trained and did exactly what she was trained to do.
SHE CHANGED THE NARRATIVE.
She demonstrated how valuable lesbians are to the movement.
She will be famous as George Floyd is famous.
