WAUKESHA, Wis. — Local business owners told The Federalist about the chaotic aftermath following the SUV that barreled through crowds at a Christmas parade in Waukesha Sunday night. On Monday, firemen and street sweepers could be seen cleaning candy off of the streets while police took down caution tape, after authorities reopened the Main Street area.
“I was right here looking out the window and we heard a bunch of noise, and we thought maybe it was part of the parade, but it was actually the car,” Dan Faustmann, the owner of local business Guitar for Life, told The Federalist. “And then all you see is an SUV come flying down the road at like 30, 40 miles an hour, and just clipping kids all the way down the street. And he kept going all the way down another three blocks.”
“My wife and I ran outside trying to help,” he added. “I was getting people in here and away from everything.”
Faustmann praised the police and paramedics, saying “they ran out of ambulances so they were putting them in the back of squad cars.” There were civilians taking people to the hospital, he said, and “people carrying people down the street just to get to the cars” since the streets were blocked off.

“Somebody had said shots fired, and they thought they had come from the sky, so everybody was making a beeline into a building if they could get in, so normally Dan’s not open on Sunday but because of the parade we were mulling about town here so he opened up and let everybody come in that wanted to,” she added. “Everything happened so fast, and what I saw here was just bodies,” Pat tells me. pic.twitter.com/HaQQZGo2CF — Kylee Zempel (@kyleezempel) November 22, 2021 Police confirmed the names of five victims on Monday: Virginia Sorenson, 79, LeAnna Owen, 71, Tamara Durand, 52, […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
