Nick Shirley testifies before Congress about Minnesota fraud then looks at the Democratic side of the room - "Only one man showed up"
MSN ^ | 25 September 2026 | Nick Shirley

Nick Shirley takes his viral Minnesota fraud investigation directly to Congress, describing daycares with blacked-out windows, public funding and no children visible during his visits. He says federal action followed his reporting, including a freeze on $185 million in child-care funding.

He’s not the only one. I posted this yesterday...

But these are freelance citizens doing the work. Where is the investigative media of yesteryear? Not doing much these days.

It was easy to determine dems are the leaders of the pack to participate in fraudulent projects for the money it generates. Fraudulent schemes generated million of dollars for the dems at taxpayers expense.

Programs that receive federal dollars presumably have federal oversight. What happens all too often is that Congress makes money available for programs but then turns administration over to the individual states.

Bottom line: Congress fails to properly audit the programs it creates and states don't care because they're spending federal money. The hypocrisy is that Congress fails at their oversight responsibility but then holds hearing to question and blame the people and programs they failed to oversee. Typical - our politicians create the problem and then get on a soapbox claiming they will 'get to the bottom of the problem' - a problem they created/allowed.

If there was fraud benefitting GOP officials, no matter how much money and how few officials, the MSM would be on it 24/7, making it an election issue against the GOP heading into the midterms.

You can't despise the media enough.

Message: We presumed federal programs receiving tax dollars had federal oversight. Wrong. Congress allocates the billions then turns the administration of the monies over to individual states.

Congress fails to properly audit the programs it creates and states don’t care because they’re spending federal money.

Congress fails at oversight responsibility then hypocritically holds hearing to raise questions and blames we, the people, for its abject failures. Politicians create the problem and then get on a soapbox claiming they will “get to the bottom of the problem” - a problem they created and allowed.

Taxpayers demand accountability in the spending of their tax dollars.

When my wife worked for the Secretary of State’s office in Illinois (when it was being run by George Ryan, who later became Governor and went to jail), people would come in with stacks of ID’s, public aid cards, etc., that they would unabashedly rifle through in front of my wife when obtaining a driver’s license renewal. She asked (sent letters to the Gov., Secy of State, etc.) why the office didn’t coordinate with the Social Security office next door to put a stop to all the fraud. No one cared.

I'm surprised one democrat showed up. Allowing fraud from protected 'victim groups' is one way democrats fund their 'big tent'.

Can we assume the gullible 'press' didn't do much with this story either? The press doesn't care about the American people's right to know when it comes to democrat 'pity party' grifters ripping off American taxpayers. Oh no, they don't want to talk about THAT.....

(The 'press' has lost so much credibility with the American people they're being replaced by corrupt NEPO baby 'pollsters'... spinning new lies with numbers.)

How do freshman Dem Congress critters get elected with less than 10 grand in their combined bank accounts and yet in four years are multimillionaires?

Do they all have mysterious benefactors ?

Are they that many Magwitchs on earth?

And another...Katie Daviscourt. She has uncovered massive Somali "daycare" fraud in Seattle. Direct from The Post Millenial.
BREAKING: I investigated SOMALI DAYCARES in the Seattle metro and uncovered over $5 MILLION of potential misuse of taxpayer funds.

When I knocked on doors, no one answered. Neighbors told me they have never seen any kids!

These individual daycares are receiving $40,000 - $70,000 per month.

Seattle-Katie-Daviscourt-4

The West Seattle neighborhoods are FULL of these fraudulent "daycare" centers.

LOL...so typical. The skinnies ask Katie "Are you the Trump people? Haters! Haters!" And all the women look like lawn garbage bags.

He’s Trey Gowdy until proven otherwise.

>I’m surprised one democrat showed up.<
They’re smarter than our guys. Remember Sandra Fluke? Not one republican showed up when she testified that insurance companies should mandate contraceptives. $10 a month. Any republican could have shown up to say he’d pay her 10 dollars to shut up like Dennis Miller did.

Btw-Sandra Fluke is now 45, married and has a dog. Her attempt at elected office failed.

He is not.

As to no DNC attendance, they were probably afraid that he would name names and point at them.

Sandra Fluke's name always makes me laugh. I was in the break room at work when she was testifying. I remember everybody muttering that birth control doesn't cost that much, what's the big deal, etc.

Finally, a black coworker piped up "maybe she has to pay to get laid" and the whole room erupted in laughter.
