Nick Shirley, Frank Scales, and the Need to Being Bold in Truth

We’re barely getting to the midpoint of January, yet so much has happened since 2026 began. It appears that Charlie Kirk has inspired many to take up the gauntlet in spreading the truth and bringing scandals to light.

Two bold citizen journalists have brought light to some of the corruption that is happening, and for the most part, are paying the price for speaking the truth.

Earlier this month, Nick Shirley exposed a faulty program in Minnesota conducted by illegal immigrants from Somalia that took government money to run daycares. Shirley brought to light that the daycares have not a single child enrolled. This has rocked the State of Minnesota to the core and forced Tim Walz, a failed Vice Presidential candidate, to not seek a third term as the state’s governor. Pressure has been mounted for his resignation as justice will be imminent.

Thanks to Shirley, we are witnessing Walz fall from grace, and, likely, he will not be heard from ever again.

Meanwhile, Frank Scales continues to do his part in exposing the corruption in Philadelphia. Scales, founder of Surge Media, gained notice as he exposed the lies and faults of District Attorney Larry Krasner, a Soros-funded defense attorney, elected to a third term.

A viral video of him confronting Krasner shows how Scales continues to bring to light how Krasner allows violent criminals to go Scott-free.

During the anti-ICE protest, Scales went around asking people participating what they were protesting. He was confronted with vile answers, threats, and even physical attacks.

Both Shirley and Scales teach us to be courageous in speaking and sharing the truth. Yes, we will pay the price, but it is how people will be set free from all the lies.

J.R.R. Tolkien reminds us, “Courage is found in unlikely places.” He also would pen in The Lord of the Rings, “There is good in the world, and it is worth fighting for.”

Let us use our talents to fight for good. Let us always be courageous in our convictions of bringing to light the corruption plaguing society.

May God protect both Frank Scales and Nick Shirley. Let God also protect others who will accept the challenge of exposing political corruption.
