Santa Claus might be a little late delivering gifts this year because he just got assaulted by a group of teenagers. In a story that sounds almost like satire, a 54-year-old man dressed as Santa Claus was stopped on his way to a Christmas performance by gang of darkly-dressed youths.
According to the man, the youths started hurling insults at him before demanding that he remove his costume. Upon refusing, the gang began attacking him an trying to rip his costume off while shouting that he was a foreigner in their country. The irony being that the “foreigner” is a German, “their country” is Germany, and the youths themselves are all Muslim migrants.
According to Remix, an English-language website which focuses on news in Central Europe:
The attackers were reportedly between 14 and 16 years of age with black hair, and were dressed in dark clothing, the man told the police.
After filing a complaint with the authorities, the case was assigned to the state security agency, as is customary when a political motive cannot be ruled out.
“The state security agency has taken over the investigation on suspicion of bodily harm, insults, and damage to property,” police spokeswoman Ulrike Schaake confirmed.
As if attacking a middle-aged man you outnumber wasn’t cowardly enough, the gang ran away the moment the man managed to hit one of them back. Something that wouldn’t even have been necessary if any of the people witnessing the attack had stepped in to help him. Rather than do that, however, they laughed and applauded, according to the victim. But this did little to dampen the man’s Christmas spirit.
Once he recovered from the attack, he continued to his performance, albeit with a heavily damaged costume which prevented him from being able to take pictures with the children at the event. When speaking with local media, the man insisted this attack won’t prevent him from continuing his role as Santa Claus, though he’s going to be carrying pepper spray, next time.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
