Why a Trump Endorsement Helps and Hurts in New York A lot of people are asking what a Trump endorsement really does in a New York governor’s race—especially for Bruce Blakeman against Kathy Hochul. Here’s the honest breakdown—no spin. Where it helps • It locks in the Republican base quickly. • It brings media attention and fundraising energy. • It gives clarity—voters know exactly where a candidate stands. Where it hurts • New York is a Democratic-leaning state with millions of independents. • Donald Trump remains unpopular statewide. • The endorsement turns the race into a binary fight, not a performance review. • Swing voters—especially suburban and independent voters—tend to tune out or turn away. What it really does A Trump endorsement raises the floor but lowers the ceiling. It helps win a party lane—but makes it harder to win the state. That’s not a judgment. It’s math. And this is why so many New Yorkers feel stuck choosing between options that don’t actually reflect their lives, their stress, or their priorities. The system keeps forcing national labels onto local problems. BETTR exists because people are tired of that. Tired of being told who they’re supposed to vote against instead of who’s actually going to work for them. This isn’t about loyalty to personalities. It’s about outcomes for real people. If you’ve ever felt politically homeless, you’re not alone—and you’re exactly who BETTR was built for. — Jason S. Arnold Founder, BETTR Independent Candidate for Governor of New York (2026)

Tired of Fare Hikes and Government Waste? New York Deserves Better. Every year, New Yorkers pay more for transit while getting less in return. Another MTA fare hike is coming — and still, we see crews standing around, projects years behind schedule, and billions lost to mismanagement. It’s not just the MTA — it’s government at every level. From entry‑level workers to the Governor’s office, no one should be above accountability — including me. That’s why we’re launching the Watchdog New York Whistleblower Program: • See waste or abuse? Document it. • Photos, videos, location, and time — the more detail, the better. • Help us build an evidence-backed case for reform that ends corruption and restores trust. Our plan to fix the MTA goes further — distance-based fares, full audits, and real rider representation so short trips cost less, waste is eliminated, and the system finally works for New Yorkers, not insiders.

Why Elise Stefanik Can’t Win New York in 2026 — And Why JSA2026 Is the Alternative Conservatives Deserve By Jason S. Arnold, Candidate for Governor of New York (JSA2026) 📞 (516) 586-0660 | 🌐 jsa2026.com | 💬 BETTR.community ⸻ Elise Stefanik is a rising star in national Republican politics — but when it comes to winning the 2026 governor’s race in New York, she’s not the candidate who can get it done. I say this with respect for everything she’s accomplished in Congress. But New York is not Washington, and voters here need a candidate who understands this state from the ground up — not from the top down. That’s why I’m running. My name is Jason S. Arnold, founder of BETTR, host of TurnNYRed.us, and candidate for Governor of New York in 2026 under the JSA2026 campaign. ⸻ 📉 The Math Doesn’t Add Up for Elise Stefanik Stefanik’s supporters say she can flip New York red. The numbers disagree: • New York hasn’t elected a Republican governor since George Pataki in 2002. • Elise Stefanik’s district (NY-21) represents under 2% of the state’s population. • Her statewide favorability among independents is below 30% according to recent Siena and Quinnipiac polling. • Downstate counties (NYC, Long Island, Westchester) account for 70%+ of the total vote — areas where she has no organizational base. Even in the red wave year of 2022, Republicans lost by nearly 350,000 votes statewide, despite strong turnout. We cannot run the same kind of candidate and expect different results. ⸻ 🎭 The Disconnect: Harvard Polishing vs. New York Grit Elise Stefanik went to Harvard, launched her career in the Bush White House, and has been in politics since her 20s. Again, no shame in that. But let’s be honest: You don’t go to Harvard today to become wise — you go to become managed. Stefanik talks about fighting for working-class New Yorkers, but she’s never lived in their neighborhoods. She’s never waited on line at the rent office. She’s never had to navigate broken public housing, underfunded schools, or family court hell. ⸻ 🏙️ Where I’ve Lived — The Real New York Since arriving in New York in 2002, I’ve lived in: • Manhattan: Chelsea, Times Square, Lower East Side, Spanish Harlem, Washington Heights • The Bronx: Hoe Avenue • Brooklyn: Bushwick, Sunset Park, Brooklyn Heights • Queens: Bellerose • Long Island: Franklin Square and Bethpage • Upstate: Rochester (Ninth Ward, Ridgeway, Garfield & Chilay) That’s over 20 years across every region of New York — living, working, surviving, and building. Not just polling and posting. “When you walk into a room and someone’s wearing too much perfume, you smell it — even if nobody else does. That’s me in New York. I see the things others have gone nose-blind to.” ⸻ ❌ Stefanik’s Record: Talking Points vs. Results Stefanik often campaigns as a fiscal conservative and civil libertarian, but her record doesn’t always match: • ✅ Voted for expanded FISA surveillance powers • ✅ Supported $100B+ in Ukraine aid while New York cities struggle • ✅ Backed massive COVID spending with no accountability • ❌ Never introduced a bill to fix NY schools • ❌ No action on NY property tax relief • ❌ No real plan to protect New Yorkers from federal mandates (CBDCs, digital IDs, lockdowns) ⸻ ✅ What I Stand For – The JSA2026 Platform I’m not backed by PACs. I’m backed by the people. My campaign policies include: • SEZ & LEZ education reform zones – putting parents back in charge • End property taxes on fully paid-off homes • New York Liberty & Survival Act – banning CBDCs, protecting food and water access, restoring local economic freedom • Universal emergency care access – no one denied help, no Medicaid trap • Family court reform – end corruption, restore balance • State anti-censorship shield law – protect speech in New York even if D.C. won’t These aren’t slogans — they’re legislative blueprints. ⸻ 🗳️ 2026 Is Too Important for a Safe Bet Elise Stefanik will be painted as a D.C. career politician no matter how much red she wears on stage. We’ve seen this movie before — and it ends in a blowout loss. JSA2026 offers something else: • Raw truth • Real-world experience • A fighter’s heart • A builder’s vision We can’t run someone who’s polling well inside party circles but collapsing statewide. We need a candidate who grew through the struggle — not someone who read about it in talking points. ⸻ 💬 Final Word I love New York. I’ve lived it. I’ve nearly died in it. And I’ve come back to fight for it. “I’m not a good candidate — I’m the right one.” – Jason S.

🧹 ‘Abolished’: Over 1,300 State Department Employees Laid Off Under Trump Plan In a bold restructuring move, the Trump administration slashed over 1,300 jobs from the State Department — part of a broader effort to cut bureaucratic bloat and refocus U.S. foreign policy priorities. Supporters say it was about ending endless wars and draining the D.C. swamp. Critics claim it undermined diplomatic capacity. The truth? America had long been over-leveraged on foreign entanglements while ignoring urgent issues at home. 🇺🇸 A leaner, more accountable State Department could help put America’s interests first—if followed through with transparency and reform. #AmericaFirst #StateDepartment #TrumpRecord #DeepStateCuts #DrainTheSwamp #USForeignPolicy #BETTRVoices #JSA2026 #ChrissySpeaks https://www.yahoo.com/news/state-department-laying-off-over-112931065.html

🧨 Unseal the Truth: The Epstein List Is Our Responsibility — And New York Will Be Ground Zero for Justice New York didn’t just host Epstein’s crimes — it covered them. While the media distracts you, and the courts play games with sealed documents, Jason S. Arnold is the only candidate for Governor who’s promising to do what no one else will: 🔹 Appoint a special prosecutor 🔹 Unseal every name 🔹 Prosecute every predator 🔹 Expose every institution that helped him This is bigger than Epstein — it’s about the elite networks that bought immunity while children suffered. And it ends here, in the state where it all began. 📖 Full Plan: 👉 https://jsa2026.com/jsa2026-unseal-the-truth-the-epstein-accountability-promise/ #UnsealEpstein #JSArnold2026 #NewYorkJustice #EndTheCoverup #ProtectChildren #DrainTheEmpire #NoBuyerWalks #MAGA #CommonwealthJustice #JSA2026

🚨 Musk Declares War on GOP Over Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” Elon Musk has vowed to help defeat any Republican who backs Donald Trump’s massive spending package, slamming it as the biggest debt increase in U.S. history.

📰 PRESS RELEASE: Jason S. Arnold Backs Strikes on Iranian Nuclear Sites Posted to BETTR by JSA2026 I’m not walking this one back. The U.S. strike on three Iranian nuclear sites was the right move—a bold act of military precision that sent a message to the world: Iran will not get a nuclear weapon. Not on our watch. We didn’t drop a nuke. We dropped the hammer. Let’s be real—Iran’s nuclear program isn’t about deterrence. It’s about domination. And since 1979, they’ve had their fingerprints on more terror attacks than any other regime on Earth. 🧨 4,500+ U.S. & allied attacks linked to Iran 🧨 $700 million annually to Hezbollah 🧨 Uranium enrichment now at 60% (just shy of weapons-grade) 🧨 $1.7 billion in pallets of cash under Obama… and for what? All that money bought them time—not peace. And my only question is: why didn’t Obama send bunker busters instead? I support peace—but peace doesn’t come from weakness. It comes from drawing a red line and meaning it. This strike didn’t start a war. It may have prevented one. No nukes. No exceptions. And if we’re the only nation on Earth willing to do what needs to be done without going nuclear—then God help us, we better lead. 📢 Full release: 🔗 https://jsa2026.com/jsa2026-press-release-on-strikes-on-iranian-nuclear-sites/ ☎️ Contact: (516) 586-0660 Jason S.

🚨 TWISTED TURN: Man Wrongly Deported to El Salvador Now Facing U.S. Human Smuggling Charges Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador in 2023, has now been brought back to the U.S.—not to correct the error, but to face human smuggling charges. According to DHS, Garcia is accused of helping coordinate illegal border crossings and profiting off trafficking vulnerable migrants across Central America. 📌 What We Know: Garcia was wrongly deported after a paperwork mishap, prompting outrage from immigrant rights groups. He was quietly re-apprehended and extradited back to the U.S. under sealed indictment orders. Feds now say he was a key player in a multi-national smuggling ring moving people through Guatemala, Mexico, and into Texas. 💬 BETTR Breakdown: ⚖️ Wrongfully deported, but not wrongly accused—that’s the distinction mainstream media is skipping. 🚪 This case proves the border isn’t just broken—it’s being exploited. 📉 Flawed systems protect criminals while tying the hands of ICE and Border Patrol 🧾 Paperwork errors become political lightning rods, even when suspects are actively breaking U.S. law 🧠 America’s enemies—cartels, traffickers, gangs—know how to use our bureaucracy against us 🔧 JSA2026 Solutions: ✅ End sanctuary protections for smuggling suspects ✅ Mandate biometric tracking on all deportations and re-entries ✅ Create a national database for human trafficking prosecutions ✅ Pass the Border Accountability & Victim Protection Act 📲 BETTR stands for the rule of law, not loophole abuse: https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/kilmar-abrego-garcia-indicted-us-el-salvador/ #HumanSmuggling #BorderCrisis #ICE #KilmarGarcia #BETTR #JSA2026 #TurnNYRed #NationalSecurity #EndTheLoopholes

💥 Trump–Musk Relationship Implodes in Brutal War of Words What once looked like a powerhouse alliance between innovation and influence has officially gone nuclear.

Here’s What Happened: 🔥 Trump slammed Musk for flirting with the left, accusing him of trying to play both sides. 🗳️ Musk has been boosting centrist Dems and making moves in DC that many call deep state-friendly. 🔌 Trump now hints he’ll ditch his Tesla and warns followers not to trust Musk’s agenda.

🇺🇸 HOUSE PASSES “BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL” — MAJOR WIN FOR TRUMP & JOHNSON In a razor-thin 215–214 vote, House Republicans just pushed through the One Big Beautiful Bill, delivering President Trump’s first major legislative win of the 2025 cycle. What’s in it? 💰 Tax Cuts Extended: Deductions now include tips, overtime, car loans. SALT cap raised to $40K for most Americans. 🛑 Welfare Reform: Medicaid & SNAP recipients will face stricter work requirements by 2026. 🛰 Defense & Border Boost: $150B in defense spending and $70B for border security tech & manpower. ❌ Cuts to Green Agenda: Clean energy tax credits rolled back from the Biden-era Inflation Reduction Act. Why it matters: The MAGA wing had to fight hard. Freedom Caucus members forced key changes—like earlier work mandates and cuts to green subsidies—to back the bill. Democrats? Every single one voted no. Opposition says: It helps the rich and harms the poor. Supporters say: It helps workers and punishes freeloaders. The bill now heads to the Senate, where budget hawks and moderates could clash over cost: the CBO says it’ll add $3.3 trillion to the debt over a decade. #TrumpAgenda #BigBeautifulBill #HouseVote #GOPVictory #DomesticPolicy #MAGA2026 #BETTRNews #JSA2026 #FreedomCaucus #DrainTheSwamp https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/22/politics/house-vote-trump-agenda-bill?Date=20250522&Profile=CNN&utm_content=1747911793&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR4mJfA0tKAVBG-JW0txAOlEsm_8jdPnmyaTI9w9rcK2svTMlZj44hCr_kOMoA_aem_oiuRsG4k1POJkslP_wVCzg
