🏠 No Property Taxes on Paid-Off Primary Homes — And Here’s How We Pay for It New York has a serious problem: We punish stability. If you work your whole life, pay off your home, and finally reach a point of security — the state still taxes you like you’re renting from Albany forever. That’s wrong. ✅ The Policy • No property taxes on paid-off primary residences • Applies only to: • Your primary home • One property • Fully paid off (no mortgage) • No loopholes for investors, landlords, or second homes This rewards responsibility, protects seniors, and lets families stay in their homes. ⸻ ❓ “But how do we pay for it?” We stop taxing stability — and start taxing tourism, entertainment, and voluntary spending. 🎡 The Solution: A Coney Island Entertainment & Casino District Not scattered casinos. Not backroom deals. A planned, regulated, competitive district. • 5 destination-style casinos (MGM, Hard Rock, Caesars, Bally’s, etc.) • Built into Coney Island, not residential neighborhoods • Fully integrated with: • Hotels • Restaurants • Entertainment • Transit • Local small businesses ⸻ 💰 The Numbers (Conservative & Realistic) • Casino tax revenue: ~$2.5–4B/year • Spillover economy (jobs, sales tax, hotels, income tax): ~$1.5–3B/year ➡️ Total public revenue: ~$4–7B annually ➡️ That matches what NY loses by ending property taxes on paid-off homes This isn’t a gamble — it’s revenue substitution. ⸻ 👷‍♂️ Jobs. Stability. Brooklyn Wins. These destinations don’t run themselves. They create: • Union construction jobs • Hospitality jobs • Security jobs • Tech & operations jobs • Transit & maintenance jobs • Small business growth around them This stabilizes Brooklyn and strengthens NYC — without pushing people out of their homes. ⸻ ⚖️ The Philosophy If you’ve already paid for your home, the state should stop charging rent on your life. Let New York: • Protect homeowners • Keep seniors in place • Create jobs • Grow tourism • Shift taxes away from families and onto entertainment That’s how you build a BETTR New York — fair, stable, and honest.

Movements don’t start loud. They start lonely. January 3, 2026 Every real movement begins the same way: with one person willing to stand before there’s a crowd. Before the applause. Before the endorsements. Before it’s safe. Loneliness isn’t a failure of a movement — it’s proof that it hasn’t been captured yet. Most people don’t resist change because they love the system. They resist it because stepping off the bandwagon is scary. It costs comfort, access, and approval. So they complain quietly and wait for someone else to go first. That’s how nothing ever changes. I didn’t step into this because it was easy, popular, or supported by a machine. I stepped in because I’ve lived what happens when systems stop serving people — and because I refuse to believe the answer is silence or surrender. If you’re feeling alone in wanting something better, you’re not broken. You’re early. Movements don’t start with permission. They start with conviction. And they don’t grow because everyone agrees — they grow because someone refuses to quit when it would be easier to fold. Still standing. Still building. Still believing. — Jason S. Arnold Independent Candidate for Governor of New York (2026) Founder, BETTR

December 31, 2025 Happy New Year, New York ✨ As the clock turns, we pause—between what was and what can be. Another year of grit, resilience, and quiet strength. Another year where New Yorkers showed up for each other, even when it wasn’t easy. Tonight isn’t just about fireworks or countdowns. It’s about renewal. About choosing hope over fear, honesty over noise, and community over division. It’s about remembering that this state has always moved forward because ordinary people refused to give up on one another. Wherever you are—city lights, small towns, kitchens filled with laughter, or places of reflection—may the new year bring peace to your home, purpose to your days, and momentum to the work ahead. Here’s to building something BETTR together in 2026. With courage. With compassion. With each other. — Jason S. Arnold Founder, BETTR Independent Candidate for Governor of New York (2026

Why God’s Name Matters — And Why It Was Removed from Most Bibles Most people grow up reading the Bible without ever realizing something essential is missing. God has a name. And in most modern translations, it was intentionally removed. In the original Hebrew Scriptures, God’s personal name appears over 6,800 times as the Tetragrammaton: יהוה (YHWH) — commonly rendered in English as Jehovah. Yet today, in many Bibles, that name is replaced with titles like “LORD” or “GOD”—words that describe authority, not identity. Why does this matter? Because names matter. • A title can be shared. • A name identifies relationship. • Scripture itself says God’s name is meant to be known, called upon, and remembered. “This is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.” When a name is removed, something personal becomes distant. Faith becomes abstract. Relationship becomes institutional. Why was the name removed? Historically, Jewish tradition began avoiding speaking the name aloud out of reverence. Over time, translators followed suit—substituting “LORD” (in all caps) wherever YHWH appeared. Later translations kept the substitution, not because the name wasn’t known, but because tradition had hardened. The result: Most readers never learn God’s name at all. The four places Jehovah’s name still remains Despite widespread removal, four verses in the King James Version still preserve God’s name in English: 1. Exodus 6:3 “I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.” 2. Psalm 83:18 “That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.” 3. Isaiah 12:2 “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.” 4. Isaiah 26:4 “Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.” These verses remain as anchors—quiet witnesses that the name was never lost, only hidden. Why this matters now Knowing God’s name isn’t about semantics. It’s about relationship over religion. • Institutions prefer titles. • Power prefers distance. • But Scripture points to a God who wants to be known, not obscured. When you know the name, you understand something deeper: • God is not an abstract force. • Not a political tool. • Not owned by any institution. Jehovah is a personal God. And names are never removed by accident. ⸻ Truth doesn’t fear names. Faith doesn’t require censorship. And what was hidden can still be found. 📜 The VV — The Veil Version 🟦 https://bettr.community #Jehovah #GodsName #BibleTruth #FaithNotInstitution #TheVeilVersion #BETTR

I was once asked why I wanted to be involved in politics. I paused—because the real answer wasn’t something you rehearse. I’ve lived inside systems that didn’t work. Systems that punished, ignored, or discarded people instead of fixing what was broken. When you live that long enough, you stop being afraid of dysfunction—you learn how to recognize it. So the question became: where can disruption actually do good? Where can you challenge power, expose failure, and force reform—without destroying yourself or the people around you? For me, the answer was politics. Not chaos. Accountability. Not tearing things down—but refusing to pretend broken systems are fine because they’re familiar. BETTR exists for the people who know the difference. The ones who’ve lived with consequences, learned from them, and still believe things can be fixed—if we’re finally honest enough to try. I’m not here to perform politics. I’m here to do the work polite conversations keep avoiding. — Jason S. Arnold Founder, BETTR Independent Candidate for Governor of New York (2026)

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)

December 19, 2025 A Note on Leadership, Service, and What Comes Next To Elise Stefanik, Stepping away from a race doesn’t erase the work you’ve done or the people you’ve represented. Public service is rarely clean, rarely simple, and almost never appreciated in real time. Anyone who’s been in the arena knows that. New York is at a moment where pride, party lines, and old habits can’t be the priority anymore. What matters now is whether those with experience and influence are willing to put New Yorkers first—together, even when we don’t agree on everything. This isn’t a goodbye. It’s an open door. If the goal is a stronger, more stable New York—one that works for families, workers, and communities who feel left behind—then collaboration matters more than labels. BETTR exists because people are exhausted by division and hungry for honesty, accountability, and solutions. There’s real work to be done. And there’s room at the table for anyone willing to do it. — Jason S. Arnold Founder, BETTR Independent Candidate for Governor of New York (2026)

🦃 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

⚡ An AWS Earthquake Has Given the Internet a Very Bad Day A major outage at Amazon Web Services (AWS) — one of the internet’s largest cloud providers — disrupted websites, apps, and smart devices worldwide today. The failure reportedly began in the US-EAST-1 region (Northern Virginia) and caused cascading DNS and database errors that took down platforms from finance to gaming. Experts say the event highlights how fragile the web can be when so much depends on a few cloud giants. Businesses across industries are re-evaluating redundancy, disaster recovery, and cloud diversification strategies to prevent total shutdowns in the future. #AWS #Outage #CloudComputing #InternetDown #TechNews #CyberResilience #BETTRNewswire https://www.techradar.com/news/live/amazon-web-services-alexa-ring-snapchat-fortnite-down-october-2025
