  • New Orleans Jail Worker Accidentally Helped 10 Inmates Escape — Thought He Was Unclogging a Toilet
    You can’t make this up. A jail employee in New Orleans allegedly assisted in a 10-person escape after mistaking the breakout plan for a plumbing issue.
    According to his lawyer, he believed he was just “unclogging a toilet.”
    Now he's at the center of one of the most embarrassing prison breaches in recent memory.

    Was it a setup? Negligence? Or the worst case of "wrong place, wrong plunger" ever recorded?

    New Orleans jail worker thought he was unclogging a toilet, not helping 10 escape, lawyer says
    Ten men who broke out of a New Orleans jail last week clogged a toilet to get the water shut off so that they could escape through a hole behind it, a lawyer for a maintenance worker who is charged with helping them said Wednesday. The worker, Sterling Williams, did not know about the men's plan and did not allow the inmates to cut a pipe behind the toilet to create an opening for their escape, attorney Michael Kennedy told The Associated Press. Williams, 33, was arrested Tuesday.

  • Trump’s Middle East Trip: Major Deals Signed Across Energy, Defense & Tech
    Former President Donald Trump’s latest diplomatic visit to the Middle East included a flurry of high-level agreements spanning energy cooperation, arms sales, infrastructure investment, and tech partnerships.

    Key takeaways from the trip:
    • Multi-billion dollar defense and energy contracts
    • Regional investment pledges from Gulf nations
    • Strategic tech and telecom alliances with U.S. firms
    • A growing pivot away from China and toward Western markets

    While critics question the long-term impact, supporters say this is a bold step in reasserting American influence in the region.

    Tren de Aragua Gang Threatens Hostage Crisis at ICE Facility — When Will Washington Wake Up?

    Venezuelan gang members from Tren de Aragua, one of the most violent transnational criminal groups in the Western Hemisphere, staged an uprising at the Bluebonnet ICE Detention Center in Texas. After spelling out “SOS” in the prison yard, they barricaded themselves, threatened to take hostages, and flooded the facility by sabotaging the plumbing.

    This isn’t fiction. This is what open-border chaos looks like when it reaches our soil.

    The JSA2026 campaign is clear:

    Zero tolerance for violent foreign gangs

    Deportation priority for cartel-linked detainees

    ICE authority restored and reinforced

    Alien Enemies Act reinstated to defend American communities

    No family in New York or anywhere else should have to live in fear because politicians are too weak or too “woke” to act.

  • Flood Threats Hit New Orleans and New York: Cities Grapple with Rising Waters

    Major urban centers on both ends of the East Coast are under pressure as intense storms bring widespread flooding risks.

    In New Orleans, days of heavy rain have triggered flash flood warnings, breaking decades-old rainfall records. Streets are inundated, and emergency alerts remain in effect. The National Weather Service has issued a Level 3 out of 4 flood risk across the region.

    Meanwhile in New York, the recent storm system has eased, but flood risks linger due to oversaturated soil and high river levels. Urban drainage systems remain under strain, and minor flooding is expected in low-lying and coastal areas through Tuesday.

    These extreme weather patterns once again highlight the vulnerabilities of America’s aging infrastructure and the growing need for climate-resilient upgrades.

  • Oil Prices See Biggest Monthly Drop Since 2021

    Global oil markets just took a major hit—posting their sharpest decline in nearly 3 years—as fears of a recession and a growing trade war rattle investors.

    Demand down
    Trade tensions rising
    Recession whispers getting louder

    While cheaper gas may seem like a win for consumers, the bigger picture is dangerous:
    Fragile global supply chains
    U.S. energy independence under threat
    New York’s economy exposed to every ripple

    This is why JSA2026 pushes for:
    In-state energy resilience
    Localized trade zones
    Diversified revenue sources—not D.C. dependence

    Economic freedom starts with local strength.

  • Heart Symptoms After COVID Shots? Here’s What You Need to Know

    If you took the original COVID vaccine series (Pfizer, Moderna, etc.) and haven’t gotten boosted since, you might think you’re safe from any long-term side effects.
    But real-world data — and real people’s experiences — show otherwise.

    Even a year or two later, people are reporting new or worsening health issues that can be linked back to vaccine-related inflammation, microclotting, and autoimmune responses.

    Common symptoms people are noticing long after vaccination include:
    • New or occasional atrial fibrillation (afib) episodes
    • Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
    • Shortness of breath doing normal activities
    • Chest pain or tightness, even if rare
    • Numbness or strange sensations in toes, feet, or hands
    • Fatigue, dizziness, and heart palpitations

    In many cases, people are seeing heart rhythm changes picked up by devices like Apple Watch or Fitbit before symptoms even become obvious.

    Why is this happening?
    It’s believed the mRNA shots may cause lingering low-grade inflammation, tiny blood vessel damage, small clots, and nerve irritation — even in people who felt fine at first.

    If left ignored, these issues can worsen over time, so early action is key.



    Natural Steps You Can Take (No Prescription Needed):
    1. Break down microclots and lower inflammation:
    • Nattokinase (100–200 mg daily)
    • Omega-3 Fish Oil (1000–2000 mg EPA/DHA daily)
    2. Support nerve and heart function:
    • Alpha-Lipoic Acid (300–600 mg daily)
    • Magnesium Glycinate (200–400 mg nightly)
    3. Boost heart repair energy and fight oxidative stress:
    • CoQ10 (Ubiquinol) (100–200 mg daily)
    • Vitamin D3 + K2 (5000 IU D3 + 100–200 mcg K2 daily)
    4. Lifestyle upgrades:
    • Walk daily, even lightly, to support circulation.
    • Stay heavily hydrated to thin the blood naturally.
    • Get 20 minutes of sunlight a day.
    • Avoid processed sugars and inflammatory foods.



    When to See a Doctor:
    If you have ongoing chest pain, persistent shortness of breath, fainting, or swelling in your legs, seek professional care immediately.
    Ask for tests like blood panels (D-dimer, CRP), EKG, echocardiogram, or even cardiac MRI if needed.



    You’re not crazy — and you’re not alone.
    The truth is, these vaccine side effects are more common than mainstream sources want to admit.
    Catching them early, supporting your body naturally, and monitoring your heart and nerves can help you stay ahead of the curve.

    Stay aware. Stay strong. Heal naturally.
    If this sounds familiar or you know someone dealing with weird new symptoms, share this post with them.

    It’s time for real conversations — and real healing.

  • Feds Charge 27 in Major NYC Crackdown on Violent Venezuelan Gang 'Tren de Aragua'

    In a historic first, federal prosecutors have charged 27 members and associates of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and its splinter group Anti-Tren in New York City.

    Charges include racketeering, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, armed robbery, and firearms violations—marking the first use of federal RICO laws against this gang on U.S. soil.

    Authorities say the gang smuggled women into the U.S. for prostitution, pushed a ketamine-laced street drug known as “tusi”, and terrorized NYC neighborhoods through organized violence. 21 suspects are in custody. 6 are still at large.

    NYC isn’t just facing a crime wave—we’re under siege by transnational gangs emboldened by open-border policies. It’s time to take our streets back.

  • BETTR Newswire | States Where Homelessness Has Skyrocketed 90%+ Since 2000 — And What They Have in Common

    Homelessness isn’t just a big-city problem—it’s a systemic crisis. Since 2000, multiple U.S. states have seen homelessness increase by 90% or more, with some exceeding 200% growth. Despite varied geography, these states share common policy patterns—and failures.

    States with Homelessness Increases Over 90% Since 2000:
    New York: +175%
    Sheltered homelessness in NYC alone jumped from 22,955 in 2000 to over 63,000 in 2020. Major driver: lack of affordable housing, failed shelter expansion, and mass migration to cities like NYC.

    California: +110%
    Homelessness has more than doubled since 2000, with over 180,000 now unsheltered. High taxes, housing shortages, and permissive street camping laws worsened the crisis.

    North Dakota: +200%
    The oil boom brought a flood of workers and zero housing prep. Rents spiked, and towns became overwhelmed with newly homeless individuals unable to keep up with costs.

    Colorado: +145%
    Legal marijuana, high cost of living, and unaffordable Denver housing triggered a massive increase. Tourism-fueled migration added pressure to shelters and services.

    Rhode Island: +120%
    Affordable housing loss, state inaction, and service gaps led to a doubling of the homeless population, especially in Providence.

    Vermont: +100%
    A small state with big shelter limitations. Rising rent, rural isolation, and a lack of detox and mental health programs fueled the surge.

    Illinois: +90%
    Public housing failures, urban decline in Chicago, and collapsing middle-class jobs led to nearly doubling the homeless rate across the state.

    What These States Have in Common:
    Democrat-Dominated Governance
    Most are run by progressive policymakers who talk compassion but often block effective housing expansion and enforcement.

    Housing Supply Failure
    Over-regulation, restrictive zoning, and anti-development politics have created a chokehold on affordable housing supply.

    Sanctuary Policies + Lax Enforcement
    Cities welcome migrants but lack scalable services. Public drug use and tent cities are tolerated, worsening urban decay.

    Mental Health and Addiction Gaps
    Many of these states closed or cut back inpatient care, detox centers, and long-term rehab—leaving vulnerable populations on the streets.

    BETTR Ideas for BETTR Results
    Mandate state-level audits of all homeless spending

    Incentivize fast-build modular housing

    Expand faith-based & community shelter networks

    Empower localities to enforce public space use laws while increasing treatment access

    Enough with the photo ops. It’s time for real results.

    🏚️ BETTR Newswire | States Where Homelessness Has Skyrocketed 90%+ Since 2000 — And What They Have in Common Homelessness isn’t just a big-city problem—it’s a systemic crisis. Since 2000, multiple U.S. states have seen homelessness increase by 90% or more, with some exceeding 200% growth. Despite varied geography, these states share common policy patterns—and failures. 📈 States with Homelessness Increases Over 90% Since 2000: 📍New York: +175% Sheltered homelessness in NYC alone jumped from 22,955 in 2000 to over 63,000 in 2020. Major driver: lack of affordable housing, failed shelter expansion, and mass migration to cities like NYC. 📍California: +110% Homelessness has more than doubled since 2000, with over 180,000 now unsheltered. High taxes, housing shortages, and permissive street camping laws worsened the crisis. 📍North Dakota: +200% The oil boom brought a flood of workers and zero housing prep. Rents spiked, and towns became overwhelmed with newly homeless individuals unable to keep up with costs. 📍Colorado: +145% Legal marijuana, high cost of living, and unaffordable Denver housing triggered a massive increase. Tourism-fueled migration added pressure to shelters and services. 📍Rhode Island: +120% Affordable housing loss, state inaction, and service gaps led to a doubling of the homeless population, especially in Providence. 📍Vermont: +100% A small state with big shelter limitations. Rising rent, rural isolation, and a lack of detox and mental health programs fueled the surge. 📍Illinois: +90% Public housing failures, urban decline in Chicago, and collapsing middle-class jobs led to nearly doubling the homeless rate across the state. 🧩 What These States Have in Common: Democrat-Dominated Governance Most are run by progressive policymakers who talk compassion but often block effective housing expansion and enforcement. Housing Supply Failure Over-regulation, restrictive zoning, and anti-development politics have created a chokehold on affordable housing supply. Sanctuary Policies + Lax Enforcement Cities welcome migrants but lack scalable services. Public drug use and tent cities are tolerated, worsening urban decay. Mental Health and Addiction Gaps Many of these states closed or cut back inpatient care, detox centers, and long-term rehab—leaving vulnerable populations on the streets. 💬 BETTR Ideas for BETTR Results Mandate state-level audits of all homeless spending Incentivize fast-build modular housing Expand faith-based & community shelter networks Empower localities to enforce public space use laws while increasing treatment access Enough with the photo ops. It’s time for real results. #Homelessness #HousingCrisis #UrbanPolicyFailure #NewYork #California #Illinois #Colorado #Vermont #RhodeIsland #NorthDakota #BETTRSolutions #FixTheSystem #2026Governor 📅 April 21, 2025 https://www.security.org/resources/homeless-statistics/

  • America’s Water Crisis: Millions Still Don’t Have Clean Water

    While D.C. argues over foreign aid, millions of Americans in rural and urban areas still don’t have access to safe drinking water. From Jackson, Mississippi to tribal lands across the West, aging infrastructure, contamination, and neglect are creating a third-world water crisis—inside the richest country on Earth.

    Children are bathing in bottled water. Schools are using porta-potties. Entire towns are under boil-water alerts year-round. Yet billions are being sent abroad while American pipes literally rot underground.

    This isn’t just a policy failure—it’s a betrayal.
