🧹 ‘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

📰 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.
