Over the weekend, independent journalist and YouTuber Nick Shirley embarrassed the Minnesota media by posting a video exposing $111 million in government fraud being funneled to so-called child-care and health-care centers.

While the press looked the other way, Shirley simply knocked on doors — and found empty buildings, fake businesses, and millions in missing accountability, all paid for by taxpayers.

I imagined Snoopy stealing the dog bowl from a little Chihuahua that looks a little like Ren from the Ren and Stimpy show in the 1990s.

Apparently, Minnesota’s governor was in hibernation while taxpayer money was being shoveled into fake child-care and health-care centers. Governor Tim Walz didn’t just miss the theft — he managed to preside over it.

The scam was so obvious that an independent journalist found it by knocking on doors, yet the state’s top executive and his army of regulators somehow couldn’t find it with a budget, a staff, and the power of the state behind them.

VIDEO — Independent journalist and YouTuber Nick Shirley scooped the mainstream media in Minnesota. He visited several child-care and health-care centers that are receiving millions of taxpayer dollars each year — and found no children and no patients at those locations.

His reporting uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. This appears to be massive government fraud happening right under Gov. Tim Walz’s nose.

You decide: what should happen to Walz and the bureaucrats who allowed billions of your hard-earned tax money to be squandered in this way?

Townhall’s Matt Vespa writes: “A YouTuber did what no other news outlet would regarding these Somalian fraud schemes in Minnesota.”

GUEST HOST FOR TODD HUFF RADIO

LISTEN - I guest hosted for Todd Huff’s radio show. The progressive movement has failed miserably and the media and politicians don’t understand why. The Bible does though. I expose a direct biblical diagnosis of the cause of the chaos consuming America and the West.

Then I give you the prescription that God offers us starting with the birth of Jesus Christ and fulfilled in His death, burial and resurrection.

May God bless us everyone.
