    Border Patrol Whistleblower Zachary Apotheker

    Zachary Apotheker, the Border Patrol whistleblower who appeared in James O’Keefe’s film titled, “Line In The Sand” is facing retaliation for exposing the Biden Regime’s child trafficking scheme.

    Zachary Apotheker appeared in O’Keefe’s film because he just couldn’t sit back silently as children are trafficked, raped and abused.

    Now he is being retaliated against.

    “In a recent letter signed by a Division Chief, Apotheker’s law enforcement authority has been “temporarily revoked.” The letter mandates the removal of his badge, tactical phone, radio, body armor, and electronic control device, relegating him to administrative duties with a significant cut in pay,” James O’Keefe said.

    James O’Keefe said the Citizen Journalist Foundation is covering Apotheker’s legal fees.

    “The Citizen Journalism Foundation (CJF) is stepping in to counter these actions, covering Apotheker’s legal fees and offering essential support during this challenging time. CJF remains committed to protecting whistleblowers by providing legal guidance and advocating for those who bring forward evidence that serves the public interest,” O’Keefe said.

    Earlier this month Zachary Apotheker said his government-issued firearm was revoked.

    “I am Border Patrol Agent Zach Apotheker. Just one day after my appearance in James OKeefe’s film “Line in the Sand,” now streaming on the TCNetwork, my government-issued firearm was revoked. The reason? Alleged breaches of security and integrity policies,” the whistleblower said.

    “But here’s the stark contrast: while I’m rendered weaponless, thousands of illegal alien convicted murderers and rapists, as openly admitted by the Department of Homeland Security DHS, remain at large and free,” he said.

    “I took an oath to defend our Constitution and to protect the American public. This has been the greatest honor of my life. Yet, when you’re truly over the target, you become the target,” he said.

  8. Dingell’s Rant on Trump Internment Camps Highlights Evil of Citizen Disarmament
    Ammoland Inc. Posted on October 31, 2024 by David Codrea
    Say her fevered dream came true and a tyrannical government did come to put Debbie & pals in internment camps: With their insistence on a disarmed populace, what would any of them be able to do about it? (Rep. Debbie Dingell/Facebook)

    “Michigan Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell surprised CNN’s Jake Tapper by insisting that former President Trump has shared plans to put people into internment camps if he’s re-elected,” Fox News reported Tuesday. “”Yes. He has talked internment camps. You know what, Jake, you may have to visit me in one. I get worried enough when he talks about what he’s going to do to his political enemies, but he has talked about them in this with different groups of people.”
    Dingell is but another in a long line of prominent Democrats, notably led by Kamala Harris, who out of one side of her mouth preaches insincere “unity” and out of the other compares Trump to Hitler. In light of two recent attempts on the former president’s life, Sen. Mike Lee is correct when he says such comparisons are tantamount to “trolling for assassins.” Noting how Democrats are pursuing Trump with allegations that his rhetoric inspired Jan. 6 Capitol protestors to “insurrection,” it’s fair to wonder how the same does not apply to Harris adopting rhetoric identical to Antifa’s and criminally ginning up the unstable to come after her opponent’s head.

    And it’s not just his head. We’ve known for some time that people who hate Trump also hate his followers, and that he is, in fact, an avatar for all who identify as supporters of the MAGA movement. That’s something we’ve just seen reinforced with Dotard in Chief Joe Biden’s “garbage” outburst.

    Then again, it only makes sense if Trump IS Hitler. After all, the dictator would have been powerless if he did not have Nazi supporters to carry out his orders. And that leads to a question this correspondent posed to Harris after her Hitler “tweet”:

    “Who in their right mind wouldn’t want the citizenry armed to stop Hitler?”

    To stop a Hitler, who wouldn’t need not just the semiautomatics Democrats are trying to ban, but real “weapons of war”? Just like the Founders intended…?

    Harris’ position on that is clear, and it’s shared by Dingell, which is curious in itself considering her late husband John, whose seat she ascended to, was a phony “pro-gun Democrat” (is there any other kind?) and an NRA Board member husband who voted for the Clinton gun ban. Everybody knows he was the guy Wayne LaPierre stole “jackbooted thugs” from, right?

    In a way, it’s good that the left is bringing up fears of real tyranny, something they’ve always ridiculed as paranoia when cited by Second Amendment supporters who promote an armed citizenry as being a powerful deterrent against.
    To anyone foolish enough to believe the Second Amendment is outdated and we’re past the danger of real, old-school tyranny, I’m going to borrow from an old essay (feel free to read the whole thing) and ask: What about human nature has changed?

    Has humanity truly demonstrated a benevolence and maturity that distinguishes our era from those that preceded us? In a culture that breeds gang warfare, rampant violence, city-crippling riots and national murders measured in the tens of thousands, how can anyone credibly claim that the need for individual defense is a relic of the past?

    Where in history is any civilization guaranteed stasis? Has not despotism and mass destruction plagued every civilization that preceded ours? Is it not, in fact, still commonplace throughout the globe? By what suspension of reality, by what denial of the observable and the probable, by what art, device or magic are we sheltered few immune from catastrophe? Are we certain, from our brief and privileged vantage point, that such things will ever remain headline curiosities? Is it not just plain stupid to proclaim that our familiar way of life will forever be the norm, when everything that has gone before us shows we are, instead, the extremely lucky beneficiaries of a rare and fortunate convergence of circumstances; and one, by the way, that has only been preserved under force of arms?

    Debbie Dingell worries she’s destined for a concentration camp…? Kamala Harris declares “Donald Trump is out for unchecked power … and given a second term, there would be no one to stop him from pursuing his worst impulses…”?

    There is someone to stop a dictator, any dictator, and lots of them. That’s what they’re afraid of. And that’s curious if you compare that attitude to all the Democrats’ phony posturing about “equity.” If they really believed that they wouldn’t be against the most egalitarian power-sharing arrangement ever conceived, the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
    They are the ones, with their prior restraints, confiscations, and bans, who are doing a tyrannical end run around due process. It’s almost like all this talk about internment camps is projection…

  9. Is the Annenberg Civics Knowledge Survey Sneakily Pushing Supreme Court ‘Reform’?

    The Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) is a center at the University of Pennsylvania that is well-known for its annual civics knowledge survey that it conducts for Constitution Day. Their portfolio of work is large and ranges from various public policy debates to teaching American youth about “citizen rights, civic responsibility, democracy and the Constitution.”

    I find their Constitution Day survey insightful, and have been following it for more than a decade. Their findings are, for the most part, disheartening. As someone who had to pass a Civics test to become a naturalized American citizen, I’m horrified at the ignorance of the public about the Constitution – arguably the world’s greatest political document – that governs their lives. At its low point in 2016, barely 26% of Americans could name all three branches of government.

  10. Trump sues CBS News for $10 billion alleging ‘deceptive doctoring’ of Harris’ ’60 Minutes’ interview
    CBS practices ‘news distortion’ intended to ‘confuse, deceive and mislead the public,’ the lawsuit says
    Brooke Singman By Brooke Singman Fox News

    EXCLUSIVE: Former President Trump is suing CBS News for $10 billion in damages, stating the network practiced “deceptive conduct” for the purpose of election interference in its interview with Vice President Kamala Harris.

    Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the lawsuit filed Thursday.

    Trump attorneys said the complaint comes due to “CBS’ partisan and unlawful acts of election and voter interference through malicious, deceptive, and substantial news distortion calculated to confuse, deceive, and mislead the public.”

    Trump attorneys also argued the edits were done in an effort to “attempt to tip the scales in favor of the Democratic Party as the heated 2024 Presidential Election — which President Trump is leading — approaches its conclusion.”
