So what is to stop the FBI from arresting you just like they did Steve Baker? my wife asked with a pensive expression on her face. She has a point. I advocate many more incendiary ideas from the FBIs perspective than my colleague Baker does. Sure‚ he was at the Capitol on January 6. But lets be honest: We all know the Justice Department is prosecuting him for what he is reporting‚ not for what he did or didnt do that afternoon three years ago.This is dead serious. Now that Republicans have fully funded the Justice Department for the remainder of the year‚ what is our backstop to protect against political persecutions the hallmark of an autocratic government we never thought wed live to see?Do you think illegal immigration is a problem and that the governments response to COVID was tyrannical? You might be have an FBI file.Steve Friend‚ an FBI whistleblower who warned the House Judiciary Committee in 2022 about the dangerous agenda of his former employer‚ has an answer. It starts with red states. Friend helped draft Tennessees SB2804/HB2912‚ which offered a cunning and constitutional solution to slow the spread of federal tyranny.In its original form‚ the bill barred any Tennessee state-certified law enforcement officer from participating in a FBI joint terrorism task force. A revised version allowed an appointment to the JTTF but only with the permission of the chief law enforcement officer of the agency from which the deputy or police officer is being tapped.The FBI lacks enough agents to operate throughout the country without the full cooperation of local law enforcement. The true aim of the Tennessee legislation was to prevent the FBI from wrongly pursuing residents over politics by allowing local sheriffs to control when their deputies work with federal agencies. More states should exploit this weakness to shift the FBIs focus from politically charged national security probes of free speech to tackling serious crimes.Sadly‚ the bill was defeated on Tuesday in the state senate judiciary committee‚ which is 7-1 Republican. The vote was unanimous. Republicans hid behind the cloak of back the blue to oppose the bill while warning that it would impede investigations against legitimate terrorist threats.This 1 paragraph‚ 1 page bill empowers Tennessee sheriffs to know who their deputies are investigating with the @FBI.@PaulRoseTN is 1 of 7 Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee who wouldn';t motion to vote on it. pic.twitter.com/Ps60cU8YIt Steve Friend (@RealStevefriend) April 3‚ 2024 The reality is that the bill was pro-law enforcement. It would not have prevented local law enforcement from working with federal authorities on cases involving gangs‚ violent crime‚ or drugs‚ nor would it have prevented police from sharing information on bona fide terrorism cases‚ domestic or foreign.But what it would have done is prevent the FBI from dragooning local officers into task forces behind the backs of elected sheriffs. Those task forces have been used to target political opponents who are unjustly labeled as domestic terrorists.The problem with the JTTFs is that any local officer deputized to cooperate with FBI counterterrorism and counterintelligence investigations requires a top-secret security clearance. This means that local law enforcement might be working on an effort to target conservative organizers without the knowledge of their respective sheriffs‚ commissioners‚ or police chiefs. Obviously‚ that undermines the principle that police powers should be transparent and accountable to the local electorate.Fact is‚ the FBI has designated anti-government anti-authority violent extremism its top crime-fighting priority. The FBI describes the profile of an AGAAVE as anyone with a perception of government overreach or negligence. Such a sweeping definition lets the FBI investigate churchgoers‚ for example‚ by associating Christian beliefs with white supremacy or other ideas the FBI thinks will lead to anti-government radicalization. Do you think illegal immigration is a problem and that the governments response to COVID was tyrannical? You might have an FBI file.Its all nonsense‚ of course. Multiple‚ credible studies across the political spectrum have revealed that most FBI counterterrorism investigations involve subjects who are not predisposed to commit an act of terrorism‚ Friend explained in defending the rationale for the bill.Its time conservatives ditch the reflexive‚ mindless trope of back the blue in defense of every law enforcement operation. During this era of anarcho-tyranny‚ the goal should be to maintain order while eschewing the tyrannical use of law enforcement for political persecutions.Local law enforcement needs to be accountable to the people. The most pro-law enforcement thing we can do is empower local sheriffs over unaccountable FBI bureaucrats who continue to abuse their power in the most dangerous way imaginable.The Tennessee bill may be dead for now‚ but issue is not going away. If anything‚ its going to get worse. Red states must act to safeguard our liberties. Using the Tennessee bill as a model would be a good place to start. Dont wait until its too late.

An illegal alien from Haiti living in New York state has been accused of viciously stabbing his two roommates to death.Just before 3 p.m. on Monday‚ police received a report of a stabbing at the Ruth Court apartments in Middletown‚ New York‚ a city of about 30‚000 residents some 70 miles northwest of New York City.

He added that officials are now attempting to ascertain ";how‚ where‚ [and] when"; Baptiste entered the U.S.Baptiste has been charged with felony second-degree murder‚ felony first-degree manslaughter‚ and misdemeanor criminal possession of a weapon. He remains in ICE custody in Orange County Jail.Marie Pereira‚ a Haitian immigration attorney who knew the victims and has spoken with some of their friends‚ claimed no one saw Baptiste';s allegedly violent rage coming. ";Everyone is shocked because the murderer was a kind‚ docile‚ and mild mannered‚ hardworking young immigrant with no history of violence‚"; she said.Neuhaus claimed that the Biden administration and its lax immigration policies are at least partially responsible for the horrific deaths. ";This is a failure on all levels of the federal government‚"; he said.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Residents living in the northeast were shocked Friday when the region was struck by a sharp earthquake‚ but one congressional candidate faced swift mockery for blaming it on climate change.The earthquake registered about 4.8 on the Richter scale and shook parts of New Jersey and New York City. Many rushed to social media to express their bewilderment and post videos of the quake. While earthquakes in the region are rare‚ they are possible because of a major fault line named the Ramapo Fault that runs from the Appalachian mountains. Several fault lines run under New York City. Christina Amira Khalil is a candidate for the U.S. Senate for the Green Party‚ and she showed her keen understanding of science when she said on social media that the earthquake was due to the climate changing.";I experienced my first earthquake in NJ. We never get earthquakes‚"; said Khalil on X‚ the platform formerly known as Twitter. (@) ";The climate crisis is real. The weirdest experience ever‚"; she added.The odd claim garnered over 600k views in just a few hours. Ridicule Many on social media pounced on the opportunity to mock a politician making such an absurd claim. ";Please explain the causal link that you think exists between the climate crisis and earthquakes‚"; read one response. ";Can you show us on the doll where the climate crisis touched you?"; replied Addison Smith of Newsmax. ";This is the dumbest Tweet I think I have ever seen. Congratulations‚"; responded meteorologist Chris Martz. ";Earthquakes have nothing to do with human-caused climate change. A gas that composes 0.04% of the Earths atmosphere doesnt have any affect on the movement of fault lines. Go back to 3rd grade science.";";If you were looking for the dumbest person on the planet - this would be a great place to start‚"; replied comedian Brian Haner. She respondsWhen someone informed Khalil about other earthquakes in New Jersey just this year‚ she claimed ignorance. ";Never felt or knew about those. I felt this one. Same with many other NJ people‚"; she responded. Later‚ she mocked those who ridiculed her so ruthlessly on social media. ";Pretty cool‚ I upset a lot of bots‚"; she posted. An online prediction platform places Khalil';s chances of winning the Senate seat at 13%. Here';s more about the earthquake: Like Blaze News?
