Shirley deserves great credit for his video and David deserves great credit for his years of research which made that video possible. Both of them are exhibiting admirable bravery. ABN
Dozens of federal agents working with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security probed multiple locations in Lewiston on Tuesday that have been associated with Somali fraud allegations and gun theft charges.
Those locations included sites linked to Gateway Community Services CEO Abdullahi Ali and his former deputies State Rep. Deqa Dhalac (D-South Portland) and Rep. Yusuf Yusuf (D-Portland), as well as a 210 Blake St. property owned by Maine Immigrant and Refugee Services (MEIRS) founder Rilwan Osman.
A spokesperson from HSI in Portland declined to elaborate on why the agency had selected those addresses for aggressive audit visits.

HSI is actively conducting audits of businesses in Maine to protect America from fraud & ensure businesses only employ legal workers. Hiring unauthorized workers risks severe penalties & undermines national security.
The best way to protect your business is by following the law.
Either way, not fit for public office or any position of trust.
As this sort of news keeps rolling in, remember Washington, DC is many orders of magnitude worse and so non-transparent it is a blackhole at the center of our nation.
The other way to look at this news is the public is now widely aware and angry.
Over 100 million watched Nick Shirley’s video and even the FBI responded.
Nick’s video may have been encouraged or promoted by White Hats in government or it may have simply come at the right time. I hope it will not be used as a distraction to keep us from catching much bigger fish.
What we want is for all of the corruption to be exposed and destroyed and, so far, this is a good beginning. ABN
In just two days, Americans may start noticing a change to the labels on their meat and egg products as a new rule takes effect.
In March 2024, Tom Vilsack, USDA secretary at the time, announced the finalization of a rule that will require that ‘Product of USA’ food labels only be used on products derived from animals that were born, raised and slaughtered within the US.
The new rule is set to take effect January 1, 2026 and will apply to meat, poultry and egg products.
EU leaders from across the spectrum of their collective assembly, are furious with the administration of President Donald Trump for restricting their entry into the United States by blocking their visa permissions. However, these same EU leaders are the people who sent operatives into the United States in order to interfere in our 2024 election.
The Vice President of the European Commission, Kaja Kallas, sums up the European position: “The decision by the U.S. to impose travel restrictions on European citizens and officials is unacceptable and an attempt to challenge our sovereignty. Europe will keep defending its values — freedom of expression, fair digital rules, and the right to regulate our own space.”
The “attempt to challenge our sovereignty” statement is a particular type of hubris when we consider THIS:
GREAT BRITAIN(October 2024) – The British Labour Party is sending approximately 100 current and former staff members to the United States to work for Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign in key swing states.
Not only did the U.K attempt to challenge our sovereignty, but they also actively worked to influence the outcome of our national election in 2024.
The same pearl-clutching assembly now standing jaw-agape at the Trump administration recognizing their censorship, are the same assembly who engaged in political operations intended to influence the voting voice of the American electorate.
Methinks they doth protest too much.
It is worth remembering the British intelligence operation (Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), commonly known as MI6) was at the center of the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy in 2016.
The first EU political group to be targeted with the visa bans includes French former EU commissioner Thierry Breton, who was one of the architects of the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA). Also: Imran Ahmed, the British CEO of the U.S.-based Center for Countering Digital Hate, Anna-Lena von Hodenberg and Josephine Ballon of the German non-profit HateAid, and Clare Melford, co-founder of the Global Disinformation Index.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the first five people targeted with visa bans “have led organized efforts to coerce American platforms to censor, demonetize and suppress American viewpoints they oppose.”
I would say that given the direct nature of the U.K effort to undermine American viewpoints, Secretary of State Marco Rubio is being diplomatically generous in his visa ban.
Officials in Maine have suspended state Medicaid payments to a Somali-run charity after more than a million dollars in possible fraud was discovered in several audits of the charity’s services.
The Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has cancelled MaineCare payments to Gateway Community Services after the audits found that the charity over billed the state for $1,068,598 from March 2021 through December 2022. The cash was supposedly to cover the costs of “interpreting services” to Somali migrants, the Bangor Daily News reported.
This same organization has been under investigation before. Gateway reportedly overbilled for more than $600,000 between 2015 and 2018, and is still under a cloud of suspicion for other violations found during a third state audit completed in 2024.
A business class traveller has been jailed for 20 months after he was caught trying to steal another passenger’s luggage on a Singapore Airlines flight.
Liu Ming, 26, boarded the Dubai to Singapore flight on August 7 and attempted to steal items from the bag of an Azerbaijani man and his wife in the business class cabin.
Liu, a Chinese national, pleaded guilty to one charge of theft.
The court was told that Liu boarded the flight with the specific intention of stealing valuable items from fellow business class passengers.
Liu was seated five rows in front of an Azerbaijani business class passenger, 52, and one row in front of his victim’s wife.
