The Wreckage and Fallout Of Nick Shirley's Lies

I know there were serious problems in Minnesota (because of the T regime), b ut it seems to me that what this little toadie is the cause of it. But the wreckage and devastation is as follows (I know Im missing some things, but there are what I came up with (so far):
• Led to freezing funds of federal childcare payments to Minnesota, thus harming children & their families
• Governor Tim Walz suspends his reelection campaign (I wish he'd reconsider.)
• "Operation Metro Surge": ICE agents (J6 retreads) deployed to Twin Cities.
• Two U.S. citizens executed (murdered) in Minneapolis

I like Adam Mockler's takedown of him here. (Sorry, I'm not sure how to post a link other than to copy & paste it into this post.)

I read that he's had to hire 24/7 security.

If we look hard enough, I wouldn't be surprised that someone smarter than him got the ball rolling. They had to have a reason to go in and I don't think it was by coincidence, I think it was by design.

I have found that everything after the ? (including the ?) can be deleted. It is info about where the link came from, and by removing it, it is just the link you need. I usually test it first (I copy the link up to but not including the ?) and see if in another tab it goes to the article. Then you can just paste it in the reply text box.
