Why the Somali day-care journalist fears arrest in the UK

1 week 6 days ago


Journalist Nick Shirley’s name is on the tip of everyone’s tongues after his massive exposé of Somalian day-care fraud plaguing the taxpayers of Minnesota under Tim Walz’s watch — but that’s not the only event he’s covered.

“I’ve spent a lot of time in London,” Shirley tells BlazeTV host John Doyle at AmFest.

“I’ve been to a few of the marches that have been held there. I originally went there just to see what was happening cause I’ve heard of illegal immigration — or mass migration, not even illegal, because a lot of their immigration is legal — but how mass migration has shifted London,” he explains.

“Do you have to worry at all while you’re over there getting that kind of content that, like, the police are going to arrest you for hate speech or something?” Doyle asks.


“Yeah, that’s the thing that’s interesting about being in London. You don’t have to worry about being attacked per se. You have to worry about being arrested for the videos you make inside of London. So, I always film, and then I post them once I get out of London,” Shirley says.

And recently, Shirley has been impressed with the amount of people who have been taking to the streets to protest censorship or mass migration.

“They had, like, over a million people out in the streets of London. That was pretty incredible just to see how many people are actually very, not as much interested, but more so impacted by what’s happening in their country that a million people came out to support,” he explains.

This protest in particular was about both free speech and mass migration.

“Were people more or less happy to see an American over there in support of them?” Doyle asks.

“Very much so, because they say that if it wasn’t for Donald Trump, who knows what would happen with the West,” Shirley says.

“They feel a lot more safe, and they feel like their country is going to be in a lot better position,” he continues, “because Trump does stand for Western values, and he doesn’t want to see these other countries get diminished.”

'You have to be completely out of your f***ing mind': Eric Adams rips into Mamdani aide over white supremacist comment

1 week 6 days ago


Just days after the inauguration of democratic socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, his administration is having to face damaging accusations from critics.

Mamdani picked housing rights activist Cea Weaver to join his team, but her past comments equating homeownership to white supremacy have led to widespread condemnation.

'That level of thinking only comes from extreme privilege and total detachment from reality.'

Among those decrying the pick is former New York City Mayor Eric Adams, also a Democrat.

"Homeownership is how immigrants, Black, Brown, and working-class New Yorkers built stability and generational wealth despite every obstacle," Adams wrote on social media.

"You have to be completely out of your f***ing mind to call that 'white supremacy,'" he added. "That level of thinking only comes from extreme privilege and total detachment from reality."

Adams included a screenshot of the questionable post made by Weaver in 2019.

"Private property including and kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy masquerading as 'wealth building' public policy," she wrote.

Mamdani rode into the mayor's office on a wave of residents' grievances over high housing costs by promising to extend rent control. Critics of the policy, including many economists, oppose rent control because it leads to abandoned rental units and, paradoxically, higher rents.

In other resurfaced comments, Weaver implied that white people would need to change their relationship to private property for the sake of social justice equity.

"I think the reality is, is that for centuries we've really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good," Weaver said in video-recorded comments.

"And transitioning to treating it as a collective good and towards a model of shared equity will require that we think about it differently," she added. "And it will mean that families, especially white families but some [people of color] families who are homeowners as well, are going to have a different relationship to property than the one that we currently have."

Mamdani's director of appointments has already resigned over comments on social media deemed anti-Semitic.
