🗽 Why Aren’t There Any Democrats on Mount Rushmore? Ever wonder why Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln made the cut — and not a single modern Democrat? We didn’t either.

From Steak Dinners to Shelter Beds: Why My Campaign Looks Nothing Like Theirs Most politicians launch from lavish fundraisers, staged photo ops, and donor lists curated over decades. Me? I launched from the pavement. From real life. From shelters, addiction recovery, working-class jobs, and campground Wi-Fi signals. I started this campaign with no staff, no favors, no legacy—just a calling to fix a broken New York for people who are done with the lies. While others wine and dine with elites, I’m walking neighborhoods, sleeping where I can, and writing policies from borrowed laptops. I don’t want to be your polished politician—I want to be the one who remembers what it's like to fight for tomorrow. 📍 Learn more, read the policies, and join the campaign: 👉 https://jsa2026.com Because I’m not a good candidate.

🚨 Nuketown Becomes Blaze Town — What Are We Doing, COD? The legendary Call of Duty map Nuketown just got a psychedelic makeover… and not everyone’s thrilled. 💥 Now called Blaze Town, this latest Black Ops update adds: • Purple fences • A pink truck by the bus • Floral patterns covering everything • A rollback from 10-player chaos to 6-player teams 🎮 Sure, the colors pop—but at what cost? Nuketown was gritty, iconic, and fast-paced. Now it feels more like a vaporwave art show than a battlefield. I get updating a classic, but are we enhancing the legacy… or just pandering? 📉 Player feedback is mixed. Many longtime fans are voicing frustration about the shift in tone and direction. 🔗 Reddit thread: Why the Hate for Nuketown? 🕹️ Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwjT60992F4 #CallOfDuty #BlazeTown #Nuketown #BO6 #GamerNews #FPSGaming #WhatHappenedCOD #MapUpdate #CODCommunity #GamingDiscussion

🇺🇸 The Next 100 Days: A Path to a Successful 200 By Jason S. Arnold – Candidate for Governor, New York (JSA2026) 📍 April 30, 2025 | 📞 (516) 586-0660 | 📧 jaysarnold@icloud.com | 🌐 www.JSA2026.com Let’s talk about the next 100 days. Not for me—but for them. For the administration in Washington that still has a window—however narrow—to course correct. Whether you voted for this President or not, we are all passengers on the same ship. And right now, the waters are rough. But it’s not too late. If the current administration wants to end its first 200 days of 2025 with any claim to success, it must use the next 100 days to deliver results—not reactions. 🔧 What the White House Needs to Do—Starting Now 1. Get Ahead of Inflation with Bold Energy Moves Gas and utility prices are still crushing working Americans. Open domestic energy projects and unleash innovation-focused subsidies for small-scale nuclear, hydrogen, and geothermal. Don’t just talk green—go clean and cheap. 2. Enforce the Border Without the Political Theater End the crisis at the border. Secure it with a balanced mix of enforcement and humane reform. Americans want borders without cruelty—and compassion without chaos. The administration must make real, bipartisan progress now or face voter backlash later. 3. Show Up for Small Business Amazon doesn’t need help. Main Street does. The next 100 days should focus on slashing red tape, offering microgrants, and lowering federal business tax rates on operations under $5 million in annual revenue. This is how you revive downtowns—not with DEI contracts, but with clear capital and clean code. 4. End the Silence on Crime and Urban Decay Blue cities are bleeding. The President must acknowledge the problem and fund federal-local crime partnerships that allow police to restore public order while community groups rebuild trust. Avoiding the topic isn't compassion—it’s cowardice. 5. Announce a National Mental Health Surge Plan We are in a quiet crisis. From veterans to teenagers, from urban homelessness to rural suicide—this country is mentally unwell. The federal government should launch a full-scale national mental health surge, including grants for mobile crisis units, AI-assisted triage lines, and school-based counseling services. Make it bipartisan. Make it urgent. 🎯 Final Word: The 200-Day Mark Is a Legacy Test A hundred days ago, this administration was handed a chance to restart. The next 100 days are where legacy is defined. 📊 The polls are unstable. The public is frustrated. But momentum can be built—if real leadership replaces slogans, and deliverables replace distractions. We don’t need a “campaign pivot.” We need a competence pivot. 💡 Why This Matters to You Because if they don’t step up, we will. States like New York must be prepared to lead where Washington fails. That’s why my platform—JSA2026—is based on real outcomes, not recycled rhetoric. We’re ready to move from protest to policy. To be the example, not the echo. Let’s make the next 100 days BETTR—for all of us. 📍 Jason S.

🔥 A Brutal Look at Obama's "Historic" Accomplishments 🇺🇸 Some claim Barack Obama’s presidency was historic — and they’re right, but not for the reasons they think. Here’s a hard truth: Obama broke more norms, laws, and traditions than any president before him. 📜❌ Here’s just a small snapshot of his "firsts" in office: 📉 First President to preside over a U.S. credit downgrade. ⚖️ First to violate the War Powers Act. 🌎 First to cancel the National Day of Prayer and declare America “no longer a Christian nation.” 🛑 First to unilaterally implement amnesty through executive action. 🛠️ First to obstruct legally approved energy drilling — and be held in contempt of court for it. 🚀 First to end America’s ability to send astronauts into space. 🧾 First to bypass Congress by ordering laws via auto-pen signatures. 🛡️ First to sue the states he swore to protect. ⛏️ First to deliberately attempt to bankrupt the coal industry. 🕌 First to praise the Islamic call to prayer as “the most beautiful sound.” And that's just the beginning. Barack Obama also holds records for: Most taxpayer-funded personal staff for a First Lady Most taxpayer-funded personal luxury (trainers, vacations, dog handlers) Most czars appointed without Senate approval Most aggressive “apology tours” abroad while insulting American allies 🇺🇸 🔴 Obama’s legacy isn’t what the media sold you. It’s a legacy of executive overreach, economic damage, and constitutional disregard. 📖 Never forget what really happened. 🔗 For a deeper breakdown of Obama's real record, read more here: https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/the-complete-list-of-barack-obamas-scandals-misdeeds-and-crimes/ #ObamaLegacy #ObamaFailures #PresidentialHistory #BETTRNews #WakeUpAmerica #HistoricFirsts #BrokenPromises #TruthMatters

🕊️ Who Will Be the Next Pope? Top Contenders Emerge as Conclave Nears With the passing of Pope Francis on April 21, 2025, the Catholic Church stands at a pivotal crossroads. The upcoming conclave, set to begin between May 6 and May 11, will see 135 cardinal electors convene to choose the next pontiff—a decision that will shape the Church's direction for decades to come.​ 🌍 Leading Papal Contenders 1. Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle (Philippines) Often referred to as the "Asian Francis," Tagle is known for his pastoral approach and emphasis on social justice. His potential election would mark the first Asian pope, reflecting the Church's growth in Asia. ​ 2. Cardinal Pietro Parolin (Italy) As the Vatican's Secretary of State since 2013, Parolin is a seasoned diplomat with extensive experience in Church governance. He is viewed as a moderate, capable of bridging divides within the Church. ​ Reuters 3. Cardinal Matteo Zuppi (Italy) The Archbishop of Bologna and President of the Italian Episcopal Conference, Zuppi is recognized for his work in peace mediation and social issues. He embodies a progressive vision aligned with Francis's legacy. ​ 4. Cardinal Péter Erdő (Hungary) A prominent conservative voice, Erdő is the Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest. His election would signal a shift towards traditionalism within the Church. ​ 5. Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa (Italy) Serving as the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Pizzaballa has been noted for his efforts in interfaith dialogue and his leadership in the Holy Land. His election could emphasize the Church's commitment to peace in the Middle East. ​ 📣 JSA2026 Campaign Perspective “The conclave's decision will not only influence the spiritual direction of over a billion Catholics but also impact global discussions on morality, justice, and human dignity. As the Church selects its next leader, we hope for a pontiff who upholds the timeless truths while engaging compassionately with contemporary challenges.” #PapalConclave2025 #NextPope #CatholicChurch #VaticanNews #JSA2026 #BETTRNews #GlobalFaith #ChurchLeadership #PopeFrancisLegacy https://www.forbes.com/sites/tylerroush/2025/04/21/these-cardinals-are-the-top-candidates-to-succeed-pope-francis/?utm_source=ForbesMainFacebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialflowForbesMainFB&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR64_nc4J93mM1Wy5Zj6ygv_7zb2QtcTkyNO5IpdKABfBahDGXcgGKtw5Qwx0Q_aem_pQiIUsbfYdjLKRuSeXv0tw

🎵 Streaming Showdown: Apple Music Clings to Second Place — But Who’s Closing In Might Surprise You While Apple Music continues to dominate headlines with curated playlists and exclusive drops, it’s no longer just Spotify in the rearview mirror — it’s Amazon Music that’s fast becoming the real contender for second place. 📊 Market Snapshot: Apple Music currently holds 12.6% of the global market share. Amazon Music trails closely at 11.1%, and it's growing quickly. In the U.S., Apple leads with 30.7%, but Amazon isn’t far behind at 23.8%. (Source: Evoca.tv, DemandSage) 🧠 Why It’s Happening: Amazon Prime perks + bundled Music access = massive user boost. Echo devices & Fire OS integration give Amazon a smart home edge. Apple’s strengths still lie in its ecosystem lock-in and Spatial Audio features, but Amazon's reach is stretching far beyond retail. ⚠️ What It Means for Users: Apple Music may still feel like the “premium” experience, but ease of access, passive users through Prime, and device integration are helping Amazon quietly dominate the race for the #2 spot. If Apple doesn’t innovate soon or offer broader tiered pricing, we could see a major reshuffling in the music streaming hierarchy by 2026. 🎤 JSA2026 Says: “Technology reflects the market we live in — legacy names can’t coast forever. Just like in politics, users and voters alike want access, flexibility, and value. If Apple can’t adapt, they might just lose their edge.” — 📅 April 21, 2025 📞 Campaign Contact: (516) 882-6275 📧 Email: contact@bettr.community 🌐 https://www.soundon.global/forum/streaming-music-market-share-2025?lang=en&utm_source=chatgpt.com #AppleMusic #AmazonMusic #StreamingWars #DigitalMarketTrends #MusicIndustry2025 #BETTRNews #JSA2026 #TurnNYRed

⚖️ BETTR Breakdown: Did a Federal Judge Just Hold the Trump Administration in Contempt? In a dramatic turn, U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg has found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt, stemming from a deportation flight to El Salvador that allegedly violated a federal court order. Here’s what happened — and why it matters: 🛫 The Order That Was Ignored? Judge Boasberg had issued a last-minute court order to halt deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, insisting that detainees be given a chance to challenge their removal in court. Despite this, the plane took off — and landed in El Salvador, where detainees were transferred to a prison facility. The judge argued the flight should’ve been rerouted or returned. The administration argued it was too late. 💥 Contempt or Political Overreach? Boasberg’s stance: “If a federal court can’t halt deportations, what power does it have at all?” He warned that if DOJ fails to investigate, he may appoint a special prosecutor. The Trump team’s stance: The plane had already taken off. The judge’s ruling was vague and issued too late to enforce. The administration argues the court is overreaching. The Supreme Court later vacated the ruling on procedural grounds but still emphasized that deportees are owed due process before removal. 🧠 BETTR Perspective: Is Boasberg Right or Just in Too Deep? From a legal standpoint, Boasberg has standing. Court orders are binding—even on the executive branch. But politically? He’s wading into deep, dangerous waters. This isn’t just about law—it’s about optics, timing, and legacy. Holding a former president's administration in contempt while that president is actively campaigning in 2024-25 is bound to stir backlash. 🧩 What Comes Next? The Trump-aligned DOJ may refuse to pursue charges. Boasberg could move to appoint an independent attorney. Trump’s allies are already calling for Boasberg’s impeachment—something Chief Justice John Roberts has condemned as political retribution. 💬 JSA2026 Says: “This isn’t about one plane or one judge. It’s about whether the rule of law still applies when politics get messy. If courts can’t be respected, then we have no checks. But if judges become politicians in robes — we’ve already lost.” — 📅 April 21, 2025 📞 Campaign Contact: (516) 882-6275 📧 Email: contact@bettr.community 🌐 https://bettrsm.com #Trump2025 #ContemptCase #JudicialPower #DOJWatch #AlienEnemiesAct #JSA2026 #BETTRNews #TurnNYRed #BoasbergRuling #DeportationRights #FreeSpeechMatters

🕊️ Pope Francis Dies at 88 — A BETTR Legacy of Unity, Compassion, and Reform VATICAN CITY — April 21, 2025 – Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, passed away early Easter Monday at the age of 88. His death, confirmed by the Vatican’s Camerlengo, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, marks the end of a historic 12-year papacy that reshaped global perceptions of the Catholic Church. Appointed as the 266th pope in 2013, Pope Francis was the first Jesuit pope, the first from the Americas, and a champion of progressive values, often focusing on issues like climate change, poverty, tech ethics, LGBTQ+ rights, and spiritual renewal in a digital age. Despite health setbacks—including pneumonia and kidney failure earlier this year—Francis delivered his final public blessing on Easter Sunday. He died peacefully the following morning at his residence in Casa Santa Marta. 🌍 Global Reactions Pour In Leaders from around the world expressed condolences: French President Emmanuel Macron praised Francis’s “humility and advocacy for the vulnerable.” EU President Ursula von der Leyen called him “a spiritual beacon beyond faith lines.” Italy declared a national day of mourning, and Serie A postponed matches in his honor. 🕯️ A Time for Reflection and Renewal With the Vatican now in sede vacante, a new papal conclave is set to begin between May 6–11, 2025. 135 cardinals will gather in the Sistine Chapel to elect a new pope—one who will be tasked with continuing the spiritual, social, and technological conversations Pope Francis boldly opened. Francis leaves behind a global movement of believers and skeptics alike, united by a shared respect for his message of love over division, faith over fear, and purpose over politics. 🔎 #PopeFrancis #VaticanNews #BETTRNewswire #CatholicChurch #Faith #Legacy #Conclave2025 #PopeDies #JesuitPope #BETTRFaith #GlobalUnity 📰 Source: https://www.businessinsider.com/pope-francis-dead-obituary-2025-4 https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2025-04/pope-francis-dies-on-easter-monday-aged-88.html ––– 📢 BETTR is where history is documented with integrity and reach. ✅ Join Free or unlock premium access with BETTR+ for just $3/month. 🌐 www.bettrsm.com 📅 Posted: April 21, 2025 📞 Contact: (516) 586-0660 📧 Email: contact@bettr.community
