Nick Shirley on PBD Podcast

 I wanted to share this PBD Podcast from New Years Eve 2025 feating Nick Shirley. He's gained significant attention for his independent journalism on the whole Somali fraud in Minnesota. This story has largely been shared primarily through the conservative personalities I've followed especially through the PBD Podcast.

I'll share more thoughts after this video, hopefully you'll be able to watch this 16 min. portion of Shirley's recent podcast. Feel free to watch the whole podcast here, it would be worth it. [VIDEO]

VIDEO: What's going on in Milwaukee?

[VIDEO] So what's going on in Milwaukee? Well this is a brief intro to a larger project I'm sure, but here's a description:
While Chicago often captures the nation's eye, Milwaukee, its neighbor to the north, faces an epidemic of violence, corruption, cronyism and injustice of its own.

As with Chicago, those bearing the brunt of this epidemic are in the urban inner-city communities. And like Chicago, whose Mayor Rahm Emanuel has played monopoly with the homes and fortunes of these communities, Milwaukee's Mayor Barrett seems to have abandoned the black communities of his city.

Yet a silver lining that ought to send chills down Emanuel and Barrett's spines is emerging — those digging out from the trenches of corruption are rejecting decades of failed "mis-leadership."
Above video is from Rebel Pundit and apparently they've been keeping track of what's going on in Milwaukee.

I have always thought of Milwaukee as a little Chicago. Both cities are on Lake Michigan almost 92 miles apart. Milwaukee doesn't have everything Chicago has, and granted if you have different big cities not all cities will have the same things.

Breitbart: Drug Cartels 'Allowed' to Run Chicago Streets


[VIDEO] The revelation that Mexican drug cartels are driving the crime in Chicago is nothing new and Harold "Noonie" Ward who is a former gang member who I know as a perennial Aldermanic candidate and also ran for a seat on the Chicago Water Reclamation District really isn't adding much knowledge here. This revelation was made in an episode of CBS' 48 Hours entitled "The War in Chicago".

This video was produced by RebelPundit who just so happens to be one conservative or right-winger who's very willing it seems to come to the "hood" to find the real story. You can read more about this video over at Breitbart where RebelPundit also writes.

BTW, you may have seen this video on my Twitter feed last week!

10 years ago: Protesting the protestors at an anti-war rally



[VIDEO] The video you see above was produced by Evan Coyne Maloney and published February 18, 2003 on his website brain-terminal.com. It caused quite a stir at least amongst right-wing circles as this video put an eye on the anti-war protestors.

Maloney's purpose was to go beyond the hype seen in the mainstream media. They weren't going out of their way to speak to the protestors perhaps they were more interested in showing who were opposed to the war in Iraq. Showing their numbers as opposed to showing what these dissidents were really about.

This is in connection with the commencement of the controversial war in Iraq 10 years ago that I had chronicled earlier this week. In fact Chicago's public radio affiliate remembered the anti-war protest that shut down Lake Shore Drive during the same time period. What Maloney ran into in NYC a decade ago, I'm sure could've been seen in that crowd as well.

There's another milestone in this worth talking about and soon there will be another posting on this in the future.

VIDEO: Black Grassroots Activists Protest Obama Fundraiser, City Hall, ABC News in Chicago



[VIDEO] This video was forwarded to me by a Republican Committeeman in Chicago. Write-up about what happened were cross-posted at RebelPundit & Big Government. The American way of protest, finding a venue to rally.

What's depicted in the vid above is a protest outside of our local ABC affiliate studios near State & Lake last week. Black activists attacked WLS-TV as a mouthpiece for Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. They attacked demolitions of housing in the Black community that night and talked about how there isn't a lot of opportunity for youth in Black neighborhoods.
According to Mark Carter of the Broke Party, a newly formed group of black grassroots activists fed up with the destruction and blight brought on their community by the liberal agenda, the protest was “about bringing attention to the demolition of homes in Chicago’s black communities on the west and south sides.” These buildings, Carter says, “can still be saved, but the city is tearing them down,” leaving property values and the community in the gutter.

Carter told Breitbart News they chose the Obama fundraiser as the starting point for the protest in order to send a direct message to Rahm Emanuel and Washington, D.C. that they will not be voting on Tuesday for those politicians who are allowing their homes and community to be demolished.

In an effort to bring even further attention to the ongoing issues of the black community in Chicago, the protest ended up outside of ABC 7 News’s local broadcast studio on State Street. This studio can be viewed from the street and sidewalk. When the protesters arrived, they used a bullhorn to announce themselves and called on weather reporter Jerry Taft, seen through the window, not to pretend they weren’t there, prompting a wave from Taft to the protesters.

The protesters waved anti-union signs, anti-NAACP, anti-Rainbow Push, and signs reading "Rahm Hates Black People" in front of the studio as Kathy Brock and Alan Krashesky broadcasted the evening news. They demanded their voices be heard and criticized Emanuel for acting in cahoots with community-organizing front groups ACORN and ACTION Now to put properties in the community into the organizations’ hands. These actions by the Mayor and the corrupt “Chicago Machine” have ensured that construction work only goes to the unions, effectively keeping the residents of the community unemployed.
It's interesting how they threw the liberal word around. Rebel Pundit and Big Government are right-wing news outlets and blogs. They at least attack the right issues which are the dearth of coverage on what's really going on in inner city neighborhoods and more coverage on the politicians.
