>CALLING ALL PATRIOTS TO THE BORDER
>WE ARE BEING INVADED
Best hat tip to patriot would be a border governor or mayor to invite local area militias to coordinate them with law enforcement.
There'd be 10K men on the border with a week - my guess.

When we read it in context, we note 2 key elements:
1) It is Paul's Ministry - meaning it is from the word of Paul, a man.
2) Paul is not talking about ALL Jews, he is talking about a subset of Jews who "killed Jesus"
"killed Jesus" in quotes as historical record indicates the Romans killed Jesus at the behest of local (Jewish) leadership (i.e. those "who killed"), who were undeniably facing a loss of power and control with this rogue
Rabbi (Jesus of Nazareth) running around and flipping tables in synagogues because his JEWISH brethren were not following JEWISH Law and doing business (i.e. currency trading) during services on Shabbat, which
as a JEWISH Rabbi, he found intolerably offensive.
Paul’s Ministry in Thessalonica
2 You know, brothers and sisters, that our visit to you was not without results. 2 We had previously suffered and been treated outrageously in Philippi, as you know, but with the help of our God we dared to tell you his gospel in the face of strong opposition. 3 For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you. 4 On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts. 5 You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed—God is our witness. 6 We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority. 7 Instead, we were like young children[a] among you.
Just as a nursing mother cares for her children, 8 so we cared for you. Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well. 9 Surely you remember, brothers and sisters, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you. 10 You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. 11 For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, 12 encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
13 And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe. 14 For you, brothers and sisters, became imitators of God’s churches in Judea, which are in Christ Jesus: You suffered from your own people the same things those churches suffered from the Jews 15'' who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone'' 16 in their effort to keep us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved. In this way they always heap up their sins to the limit. The wrath of God has come upon them at last.[b]
Paul’s Longing to See the Thessalonians
17 But, brothers and sisters, when we were orphaned by being separated from you for a short time (in person, not in thought), out of our intense longing we made every effort to see you. 18 For we wanted to come to you—certainly I, Paul, did, again and again—but Satan blocked our way. 19 For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you? 20 Indeed, you are our glory and joy.

Michigan Democrat received $55,600 from FTX employees before sponsoring crypto bill in Senate
FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried reportedly met consistently with regulators and lawmakers and pushed for crypto regulation, including lobbying for Sen. Debbie Stabenow's Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act.

Michigan Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow received at least $55,600 in donations this year from employees of FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange platform that declared bankruptcy after allegedly misusing client funds.
Then, Stabenow, who as Agriculture Committee chairwoman oversees the Commodities Future Trading Commission, a cryptocurrency regulator, sponsored legislation to regulate cryptocurrency.
Michigan Capital Confidential first reported the story, citing Federal Election Commission records.
Coindesk reported that FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried consistently met with regulators and lawmakers and pushed for crypto regulation, including lobbying for the Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act, Stabenow's bill. The bill seeks to give the CFTC more authority to regulate digital commodities like FTX.
Bankman-Fried tweeted on Oct. 18, 2022, "I'm optimistic that the Stabenow-Boozman's bill will provide customer protection on centralized crypto exchanges without endangering the existence of software, blockchains, validators, DeFi, etc. If I were convinced I was wrong about that, I would not support it."
Bankman-Fried backed Stabenow's bill and paid bill cosponsor Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.), $8,700; cosponsor Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), $5,800, and cosponsor Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) $5,700, according to FEC records.
At one point, FTX claimed to be worth $32 billion before its collapse.
On Tuesday, Bankman-Fried was charged with eight criminal counts: conspiracy to commit wire fraud and securities fraud, individual charges of securities fraud and wire fraud, money laundering, and conspiracy to avoid campaign finance regulations.
A message left Thursday seeking comment from Stabenow's office hasn't been returned. It's unclear if Stabenow still supports the bill.
In a Nov. 10 statement after FTX collapsed, Boozman doubled down on the need for the legislation.
"Chairwoman Stabenow and I remain committed to advancing a final version of the DCCPA that creates a regulatory framework that allows for international cooperation and gives consumers greater confidence that their investments are safe," he said.
At a Sept. 15 hearing, Stabenow still backed the bill to enforce "guardrails" to protect consumers.
"As its name suggests, our bill is focused on consumer protection," Stabenow said. "It will require that platforms segregate and safeguard customer assets, hold sufficient capital and abide by rigorous cybersecurity standards. It will eliminate many of the conflicts of interest in this market. And it will mandate that platforms speak truthfully about the risks of trading digital commodities and don't engage in misleading advertising."
The crypto market has lost $2 trillion in just over a year, according to CNBC.

Isn't all of this Twitter Files stuff technically legal under the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act?
If not, why not? Cuz as I understand it, Smith-Mundt gives the federales to push propaganda and disinformation as the Feds see fit.
General source for my understanding:
https://www.businessinsider.com/us-domestic-propaganda-officially-aired-2013-7
>Well, Paul was a Jew before he converted to Christianity, so he seemed to know a lot about them.
Wasn't everyone in the area Jewish (Israelite) until the Romans invaded?
>All Abrahamic 'religions' are united and not divided.
Don't you think Islam is a bit tricky on this one…"beware of the Jew behind the tree…" "…kill the Jew on sight…" etc.?
>They could say that they are non-practicing Jews who believe in Jesus as the Promised Messiah.
Interesting thought, I kind of like that.
>Nowadays, if someone proclaims themselves as a Jew, they are stating to the world that they have rejected Jesus as the Promised Messiah
People are born Jewish…then trained in the hisorical, intellectual, traditional manifestations of it….do they really have a choice? To be born Jewish, and then declare, "I'm Christian" is to reject your family, upbringing etc. - something not many people of any persuasion are willing to do.
Judaic doctrine is that the Messiah is yet to come, but also, beware of the false Messiah. With that kind of upbringing, how would any practicing Jew ever come to recognize the "true Messiah" (Jesus or otherwise)?
In the end (Prophesies aside, cuz I'm not as familiar), wouldn't it all be about what Jesus taught humanity? Accept him as Son of God or not, the lessons are universal truths that originate in the Old Testament & Torah. (easiest example Abraham and "Don't Sacrifice Children")
>you miss the point, free speech stolen from millons
I get that point…
Which is why the Smith Mundt Modernization Act ought to be suspended / upended.
But so long as we have illegal laws on the books and people along with the courts follow them, they are defacto "legal laws".
Smith Mundt Modernization Act is illegal.
Every cockamamie "gun control" law is illegal
-
Permit required
-
Age restriction after age 18
-
Must be concealed
-
Felon may not posess
-
Etc.
So, following the paradigm of "we have these "laws", and everybody follows them" why is what the FBI did illegal? Because it stole "too much" free speech? Where's the limit? 10M people disenfranchised, OK 10M 1, hey we have problem prosecute the whole bunch of feds?
