🌊 Texas Flooding Disaster: At Least 104 Dead, Rescue Efforts Ongoing Devastating flooding in Texas has claimed the lives of at least 104 people, with search and rescue teams continuing to comb through submerged areas in hopes of finding survivors. Entire communities remain underwater, and the full scale of destruction is still unfolding. Authorities report that hundreds are missing, and infrastructure failures are complicating relief efforts. This is one of the deadliest flood events in modern Texas history. 💬 Our thoughts are with every family affected. But this is more than a weather event—it’s a national infrastructure failure, and the consequences are deadly. When will we stop reacting late and start preparing early? 🛑 Failed zoning 🛑 Aging dams and drainage 🛑 Disconnected disaster response 🛑 Urban sprawl without rural readiness America must treat infrastructure like life support—not a political talking point. 🔗 Full coverage: https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/08/us/texas-flooding-deaths-survivors/index.html (Note: Replace with preferred source if desired) #TexasFlood #DisasterResponse #InfrastructureCrisis #JSA2026 #BETTRNewswire #RescueTexas #ClimatePreparedness https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/live-blog/rcna217165

🧦 TSA to End Shoe Removal Policy at Select Airport Checkpoints According to a federal source, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will no longer require passengers to remove their shoes at certain U.S. airport checkpoints. The change will roll out gradually, starting with airports that adopt newer CT scanning tech and biometric pre-screening systems. The move aims to improve speed and convenience—but privacy advocates warn it may come at the cost of expanded surveillance and pre-clearance tracking. So the trade-off is this: No more removing your shoes... But say hello to facial scans, biometric profiling, and AI-driven traveler scoring. This isn’t about comfort. It’s about control. 🔗 Full story: https://www.foxnews.com/us/tsa-end-shoe-removal-policy-some-airport-security-checkpoints-government-source-says #TSA #SurveillanceState #TravelRights #BETTRNewswire #FacialRecognition #BiometricSecurity #FreedomToFly #DigitalPrivacy https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/07/08/tsa-to-end-shoe-removal-policy-at-some-airport-security-checkpoints-government-source-says.html

💰 Here’s How Much Trump’s Pardons and Commutations Have Cost the Federal Government A new report claims that Donald Trump’s pardons and commutations may have cost the federal government millions in lost fines, legal appeals, and supervision costs. Critics argue that many of the recipients were political allies or celebrity offenders, not wrongfully convicted citizens. But here’s the truth they leave out: 🔹 The cost of a pardon isn’t the problem. 🔹 The real waste is the DOJ's budget being weaponized against political enemies while cartel traffickers walk free. 🔹 Meanwhile, January 6 defendants rot in pretrial cells while fentanyl dealers cut plea deals. If we’re talking dollars, let’s audit DOJ grants, FBI slush funds, and fake domestic terror task forces before crying over paperwork costs for clemency. 🔗 Source: https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacheverson/2021/01/20/heres-how-much-trumps-pardons-and-commutations-have-cost-the-federal-government/ (Note: You may sub in newer coverage if available) #TrumpPardons #J6Truth #JusticeReform #DOJCorruption #BETTRNewswire #PoliticalPrisoners #FederalWaste

📰 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.
