A new study found that even “normal but high” blood pressure levels—numbers that are technically still within the normal range—can cause early, silent damage to the heart. Researchers observed that the heart muscle can begin to thicken and stiffen long before any symptoms appear, increasing future risk of heart disease. The findings suggest that blood pressure on the higher end of normal may not be as harmless as once believed, and that long-term monitoring is important even when readings don’t meet the threshold for hypertension. https://www.aol.com/news/researchers-between-blood-pressure-heart-164644268.html

On Nov. 9, former President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that “most Americans will receive a tariff dividend of at least $2,000.” The idea is part of a broader proposal to use federal revenue generated from new tariffs to fund direct payments to U.S. households. As of now, Congress has not authorized such a program, and no legislation is in place that would allow tariff revenue to be distributed as direct payments. Economists also note that tariff revenue is dependent on trade volume and may not provide a consistent or guaranteed funding stream. https://people.com/donald-trump-promises-2000-tariff-dividend-to-most-americans-11846416

Chapter VII — Of the Scattered Nations 1. And the fire burned out, yet its smoke became a veil over the earth. The cities whispered of peace, but their hearts still trembled. 2. The mighty spoke of unity, yet built towers to their own names; and the nations gathered not in covenant, but in competition. 3. Each tongue claimed to be pure, each border holy, but their altars were raised on fear, and their laws on vanity. 4. The scattered tribes of man, east and west, remembered not their Maker, nor the dust from which they rose. 5. They sought to build a kingdom without Heaven, to forge order without justice, and to crown themselves in place of the unseen King. 6. Then came the merchants of deception, bearing light that was not light, and words that promised mercy while sowing division. 7. The strong said, “Let us protect the weak,” but their shields were mirrors, reflecting only themselves. 8. And so the nations divided as waters before a storm, and the faithful wandered, crying, “Where is Zion? Where is truth beneath these flags?” 9. But the Voice whispered among the ruins: “Zion is not a place, but a people. It is not drawn on maps, but written in hearts that still believe.” 10. For the covenant was never bound to soil, nor to the tongues of men, but to the promise that light shall not yield to darkness forever. 11. And the scattered shall gather again— not beneath banners, but beneath truth; not through conquest, but through remembrance. 12. Then shall the nations know peace, when fear no longer governs faith, and man ceases to build towers that reach Heaven, and instead opens his heart, where Heaven has always been.

President Trump has floated the idea of using revenue from new U.S. tariffs to fund a $2,000 “American Dividend” payment for citizens. The concept relies on collecting substantial money from import tariffs and redistributing part of it directly to households. However, there are major hurdles: • Congress has not approved it, and would need to authorize both the tariffs and the payments. • Tariff revenue depends on trade volume, and economists say income from tariffs can fluctuate significantly. • Payment programs of this scale typically require stable, recurring funding, not revenue that varies year to year. • Some analysts warn that tariffs can raise consumer prices, which could offset part of the intended benefit. So the idea has been pitched, but legally and practically, there is no mechanism in place yet to implement it. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2025/11/10/dont-spend-trumps-2000-a-person-tariff-dividend--check-just-yet/?utm_campaign=ForbesMainFB&utm_source=ForbesMainFacebook&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwdGRleAOAfr1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEejccHbbkcGAUKGT33Ub64lbUVOz4ZVjsInMKfv7P7WNy_9kvTeZPdMgAFDnc_aem_9QpiAzNNZ2TrrDWlL0rURg

To Everyone Who Believes in What Zohran Stands For — New York Needs a Governor Who Fights the Same Fight To everyone who stood with Zohran Mamdani — organizers, tenants, students, working families, transit riders, small businesses, and every New Yorker who refuses to accept a government that forgets who it serves: Let me speak to you directly. If your vote was about changing the system, not maintaining it… If it was about power in the hands of real people, not donors… If it was about housing, affordability, justice, and dignity… — then you deserve a governor who carries that fight statewide. Hochul won’t do that. Her administration defends the same old Albany machinery that has made life harder for the people you fight for. Rents are up. Transit is broken. Budgets are bloated. Neighborhoods are ignored. And when working people demand change, she gives them task forces and press conferences. Elise won’t do that either. She talks like an outsider but operates like a D.C. insider. She has the same donor networks, the same political handlers, the same establishment backing the system uses to choke off new voices before they reach voters. Hochul protects the Albany machine. Elise protects the Washington machine. Neither protects the people who make New York run. But a governor should — and I will. I’m not part of their circles. I’m not owned by donors, consultants, or party elites. My loyalties are to the people who pay the price when Albany fails: working families, commuters, parents, renters, small-business owners, and every New Yorker crushed by the cost of simply existing here. That’s why I’ve put every plan on the table now — not after the election. Real policy, real math, real transparency, and a clear path to making life in New York possible again. If you supported Zohran because you want a government that works for EVERYONE — not the few — then I’m asking you to take a look at where I stand and why the establishment is trying to decide this race before you get a voice in it. Start here: 👉 Visit the homepage on JSA2026.com This isn’t a red-vs-blue fight. This is a people-vs-machine fight. And if you believe in the movement Zohran built… If you believe in neighborhoods over donors… If you believe in a New York where dignity is not optional — then you deserve a governor who fights that same fight. I intend to be that governor. — Jason S. Arnold

House Democrats released a large batch of emails connected to Jeffrey Epstein, including messages discussing his past interactions and communications with Donald Trump. The documents are part of an ongoing review of Epstein’s network, his contacts, and the people he attempted to influence over the years. The release includes previously unseen correspondence and is likely to generate new public scrutiny as investigators sort out what is legitimate, what is exaggerated, and what is unrelated to any wrongdoing. https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2025/11/12/trumps-history-with-jeffrey-epstein-heres-the-full-timeline/?utm_campaign=ForbesMainFB&utm_source=ForbesMainFacebook&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwdGRleAOEWDlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEei7AO8qsmSi2yYjC__0lfM6axmjFWeKX_3klJci_a6-jZ3-7FCqgnKaiALR4_aem_VvatbK5zE2dovjetp03LNg

If half of New Yorkers gave $10… and volunteered just a little of their time… we would wipe the floor with the establishment. No worries. No fear. No begging donors. No selling out. That’s the truth nobody in politics wants to admit: We don’t need billionaires. We don’t need lobbyists. We don’t need party machines. We just need New Yorkers who are fed up to stand together for once. Think about it: • 10 million adults in NY. • If just HALF gave $10, that’s $50,000,000 powered by the people — not a single special interest. • Add volunteers? We’d have the biggest grassroots political movement this state has ever seen. The establishment survives because people think they’re powerless. They are counting on you believing your $10 or your 1 hour doesn’t matter. But it does. If New Yorkers move together, nothing can stop us — not Albany, not the parties, not the insiders, not the political lifers who’ve been draining this state for decades. 10 bucks. A little time. A lot of heart. We fix this state ourselves. Jason S. Arnold Candidate for Governor of New York JSA2026.com

Chapter VIII — Of the False Shepherds (The Veil Version — VV) 1. And after the nations were scattered, a sorrow rose quietly upon the land, for two who kept watch in the night laid down their burdens and did not rise again. 2. Their passing was a whisper upon the earth, yet Heaven took notice, counting them not as numbers, but as sons. 3. And woe unto the shepherds who speak of honor yet do not guard the guardians; who praise the brave yet leave the brave unprotected. 4. They polish their titles as idols of bronze, but their hearts are hollow, for they love the sound of their own vows more than the souls they vow to serve. 5. Their counsel is confusion, their mercy a performance, their justice a shifting shadow. 6. They bless the flock with words but bind it with burdens; they call themselves leaders yet walk behind the people they claim to guide. 7. And when darkness rises, the hirelings are the first to flee, for they guard only their pride, not the pasture. 8. The wolves roam without fear, sniffing the weakness of rulers who mistake silence for wisdom and cowardice for peace. 9. But the Spirit saith: A true Shepherd awaketh, not crowned by men, nor chosen by councils, but born of truth and trial. 10. He shall remember the fallen whom others forgot, and the scattering shall end where his faithfulness begins. 11. For the false shepherds shall fall at noon, when shadows have no place to hide and every secret of their hearts lies bare. 12. And the pasture shall be restored; the flock gathered; and the guardians honored in the way of Heaven, not in the speeches of men.

🦃 A Thanksgiving Message to New York From Jason S. Arnold — Candidate for Governor of New York State “I’m not a good candidate. I’m the right one.” Today isn’t just about a meal — it’s about remembrance. Remembrance of how far we’ve come, what we’ve survived, and who we still carry with us in spirit. Thanksgiving is a moment where families gather, communities pause, and we recognize the quiet truth that gets drowned out the rest of the year: We are stronger when we stand together, and weaker when politics divides us. This year, let us give thanks for: • The families who hold each other up during hard times • The workers who keep New York moving while others rest • The service members and first responders who never get holidays off • The neighbors who give more than they take • And every New Yorker who still believes we can build something better than what the establishment has given us We lift up those we’ve lost, honor those still fighting their battles, and extend a hand to anyone spending today alone. Nobody should be forgotten in a state as rich as ours. New York deserves leadership that remembers the people — not the donors. The 99 — not the one. Today, let your home be filled with peace, gratitude, and the hope that tomorrow can be different. From my family to yours: Happy Thanksgiving, New York. Stay safe, stay grateful, and stay united. — Jason S. Arnold Candidate for Governor, New York State 🌐 https://JSA2026.com #Thanksgiving2025 #NYStrong #BETTR #NewYorkTogether #JSA2026 #TheRightOne

How Israel Became Treated as a “Religious Obligation” in America This did not come from the Bible alone. It came from a modern political theology, built deliberately in the United States. ⸻ 1. The Bible Does Not Command Unconditional Support of a Modern State This is the first truth that gets buried. • The Bible speaks of the land of Israel in ancient, covenantal terms • It does not command Christians to: • Fund a modern government • Support wars unconditionally • Suspend moral judgment of state actions Jesus never instructed: • Rome to fund Judea • Christians to back political power • Blind loyalty to governments using God’s name In fact, Christ consistently challenged political-religious authority, not endorsed it. So the idea that: “If you’re Christian, you must support the modern State of Israel” is not biblical doctrine. It is political theology. ⸻ 2. Where This Idea Actually Came From: American Christian Zionism The belief you’re describing took shape in the late 1800s and early 1900s, mainly in America and Britain. Key source: • Dispensationalism — a theological framework • Popularized by the Scofield Reference Bible (1909) This theology taught: • The return of Jews to Israel was required for end-times prophecy • Supporting Israel became part of “God’s plan” • Political events were framed as divine necessity Important: This belief is not universal Christianity It is one interpretation, heavily American, heavily modern. Most Christians globally — Catholic, Orthodox, many Protestants — do not hold this view. ⸻ 3. How Politics Locked It In After 1948 After Israel became a state: • The U.S. saw Israel as a strategic Cold War ally • Evangelical leaders framed support as biblical obedience • Politicians fused: • National security • Religious loyalty • Moral guilt Result: Opposing Israeli policy became framed as opposing God. That framing was politically useful, not theologically required. ⸻ 4. How Guilt Became the Enforcement Tool Over time, the messaging hardened into absolutes: • “If you criticize Israel, you’re anti-Christian” • “If you question aid, you’re antisemitic” • “If you don’t support every war, you don’t believe the Bible” That pressure forces silence, not faith. And it does something dangerous: • It weaponizes religion • It removes moral accountability • It erases Palestinian Christians, who are rarely mentioned ⸻ 5. The Missing Truth Most Americans Never Hear There are: • Christian Palestinians • Jewish Israelis who oppose their government • American Jews who reject unconditional support But their voices are inconvenient — so they’re pushed out. The conflict is framed as: God vs enemies Instead of: Governments vs people caught in between ⸻ 6. The Honest American Position (Without Religious Guilt) An American — Christian or not — can say this truthfully: “I respect Israel’s right to exist. I respect Judaism. But no government gets a blank check — financial, moral, or military — because of religion.” That position: • Is pro-faith • Is pro-human life • Is pro-American sovereignty • Is anti-propaganda That’s not betrayal. That’s responsibility. ⸻ Where did the connection come from? 👉 Not from Jesus 👉 Not from biblical command 👉 Not from ancient Christianity It came from: • Modern American theology • Cold War geopolitics • Political fundraising • Fear-based messaging And once religion was tied to loyalty, questioning became taboo. ⸻ Why This Matters for Leadership New York is home to: • Jews • Muslims • Christians • Atheists • Immigrants from every side of this conflict Leadership means lowering the temperature, not exploiting faith. ⸻ Bottom Line Faith should guide conscience — not silence it. Governments should answer to people — not hide behind God. That’s the line that has been crossed. ⸻ Date: December 12, 2025 Campaign: Jason S. Arnold for Governor of New York (2026)

Chapter IX — Of the Marketplace of Lies (The Veil Version — VV) 1. And I beheld a great market covering the earth, where every voice cried, “Here is truth, here is safety, here is meaning,” yet none spoke without a price. 2. The scales were tipped before the goods were weighed, and the measures were false, for what was sold as light carried the weight of chains. 3. In that market, honor was exchanged for comfort, conscience for applause, and children learned the value of things before the value of life. 4. The merchants smiled and called it progress, but their hands were empty of mercy, and their houses were built on forgetting. 5. Fathers and mothers were remembered only when useful, and love was reduced to a transaction, to be canceled when inconvenient or replaced when costly. 6. And the rulers of the market said, “This is the way of the world; none may stand apart.” 7. But the Spirit answered them plainly: You are at war with Jehovah, and it is a war you shall never win. 8. For you have set profit against purpose, appetite against wisdom, and speed against truth; yet Heaven is not for sale. 9. The market roareth, but it cannot give life; it dazzles, but it cannot heal; it promises tomorrow while stealing today. 10. And when the buying ceaseth, and the noise falleth silent, every soul shall stand unclothed before what cannot be priced. 11. Blessed are they who did not bow to the market, who kept their names unbought and their love unmeasured, for they shall inherit what silver cannot touch. 12. Thus it is written: the marketplace shall collapse under its own weight, its lies shall consume themselves, and only truth shall remain when the dust of trade is gone.
