New York Has a Paid-Information Problem — And We’re Finally Addressing It Right now, a massive amount of what New Yorkers see, hear, and believe is being shaped by paid influence masquerading as organic content. Not journalism. Not opinion. Paid persuasion without disclosure. Social media has become a marketplace where outrage, misinformation, and sexualized content are rewarded by algorithms and cash—while parents, kids, and working people are left to sort out what’s real on their own. That’s not free speech. That’s undisclosed commercial influence. And New York has every right—and responsibility—to deal with it. The Problem • Over one-third of Americans now get news directly from social media platforms. • A majority of younger users say they receive “news” from influencers, not reporters. • Paid content is routinely not disclosed, even when money or incentives are clearly involved. • Children are being exposed to algorithm-driven content that rewards dysfunction, not discipline. • Fake outrage, rage-bait, manipulated clips, and click-farm content are financially incentivized. We already regulate: • Advertising • Campaign finance • Consumer fraud • Gambling, alcohol, and tobacco marketing But somehow, paid digital influence gets a free pass. That ends now. The Policy: NYS Digital Transparency & Youth Protection Act This policy does not censor speech. It does not ban opinions. It does not target ideology. It does one simple thing: If you are paid to influence New Yorkers, the public has a right to know. Key components include: • Mandatory Paid-Influence Disclosure Clear, unavoidable labels when money, compensation, or incentives are involved. • Ban on “Stealth Sponsored News” If content is paid for, it cannot be presented as independent reporting. • Public Transparency Portal A searchable archive of major paid influence campaigns targeting NY residents. • Enforcement Against Deceptive Engagement Fake reviews, bot amplification, hidden sponsorships, and fraudulent marketing treated as consumer deception. • Youth Protections Limits on algorithmic amplification and targeted advertising on state-managed school networks and devices. • Deepfake & Synthetic Media Safeguards Penalties for materially deceptive synthetic content used to mislead or manipulate. • Digital Literacy Tools Teach people—especially kids—how to spot manipulation, rage-bait, and paid deception. Why This Matters You can say whatever you want in New York. You can criticize me, support me, hate me, or ignore me. But if you’re being paid to push something, that’s no longer just speech—it’s commerce. And commerce has rules. This policy restores trust, transparency, and personal responsibility to the digital public square—without turning the government into a speech referee. This Is About the Future A society where: • Kids think work is optional • Truth is secondary to clicks • Outrage is profitable • Deception is rewarded …is not sustainable. New York can lead the country by proving you don’t need censorship to restore order—just honesty, disclosure, and enforcement of existing principles in a modern world.

Ending Sanctuary Chaos in New York — The Right Way New York needs to calm this down and get back to law, order, and humanity — not chaos from either side. I just released my full policy on Ending Sanctuary Cities in New York, and I want to be crystal clear about what this is and what it is not. 🔗 Read the full policy here: https://jsa2026.com/jsa2026-nys-ending-sanctuary-cities-in-new-york-upholding-the-rule-of-law-and-protecting-our-communities/ This plan does three things at once, which most politicians refuse to even try: 1️⃣ Protects New Yorkers from Lawless Enforcement No masked agents. No unmarked vans. No people being snatched off the street without warrants. If ICE wants to act in New York, they will do it through courts, with warrants, and with transparency. Period. 2️⃣ Ends Criminal Sanctuary Policies If you are in New York illegally and you commit a crime, you will not be protected by politics. Criminal offenders will be turned over to ICE from jail, not released back into our communities. That’s not cruelty — that’s accountability. 3️⃣ Restores Order Without Fear Enforcement belongs in the system: • Courts • Warrants • Precincts • Jails Not in neighborhoods. Not in schools. Not in front of children. This approach reduces violence, protects officers, and keeps families from living in constant fear. ⸻ This is not a far-right plan. This is not a far-left plan. This is a New York plan. You can protect civil liberties and enforce the law. You can reject chaos and reject lawlessness. You can be humane and serious. Albany refuses to do this because chaos is good politics for them. I’m running to end it. 🗽 Order. Safety. Dignity. New York First. “I’m not a good candidate — I’m the right one.

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

🦃 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

House Democrats released a large batch of emails connected to Jeffrey Epstein, including messages discussing his past interactions and communications with Donald Trump. The documents are part of an ongoing review of Epstein’s network, his contacts, and the people he attempted to influence over the years. The release includes previously unseen correspondence and is likely to generate new public scrutiny as investigators sort out what is legitimate, what is exaggerated, and what is unrelated to any wrongdoing. https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2025/11/12/trumps-history-with-jeffrey-epstein-heres-the-full-timeline/?utm_campaign=ForbesMainFB&utm_source=ForbesMainFacebook&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwdGRleAOEWDlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEei7AO8qsmSi2yYjC__0lfM6axmjFWeKX_3klJci_a6-jZ3-7FCqgnKaiALR4_aem_VvatbK5zE2dovjetp03LNg

President Trump has floated the idea of using revenue from new U.S. tariffs to fund a $2,000 “American Dividend” payment for citizens. The concept relies on collecting substantial money from import tariffs and redistributing part of it directly to households. However, there are major hurdles: • Congress has not approved it, and would need to authorize both the tariffs and the payments. • Tariff revenue depends on trade volume, and economists say income from tariffs can fluctuate significantly. • Payment programs of this scale typically require stable, recurring funding, not revenue that varies year to year. • Some analysts warn that tariffs can raise consumer prices, which could offset part of the intended benefit. So the idea has been pitched, but legally and practically, there is no mechanism in place yet to implement it. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2025/11/10/dont-spend-trumps-2000-a-person-tariff-dividend--check-just-yet/?utm_campaign=ForbesMainFB&utm_source=ForbesMainFacebook&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwdGRleAOAfr1leHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZAo2NjI4NTY4Mzc5AAEejccHbbkcGAUKGT33Ub64lbUVOz4ZVjsInMKfv7P7WNy_9kvTeZPdMgAFDnc_aem_9QpiAzNNZ2TrrDWlL0rURg

On Nov. 9, former President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that “most Americans will receive a tariff dividend of at least $2,000.” The idea is part of a broader proposal to use federal revenue generated from new tariffs to fund direct payments to U.S. households. As of now, Congress has not authorized such a program, and no legislation is in place that would allow tariff revenue to be distributed as direct payments. Economists also note that tariff revenue is dependent on trade volume and may not provide a consistent or guaranteed funding stream. https://people.com/donald-trump-promises-2000-tariff-dividend-to-most-americans-11846416

A new study found that even “normal but high” blood pressure levels—numbers that are technically still within the normal range—can cause early, silent damage to the heart. Researchers observed that the heart muscle can begin to thicken and stiffen long before any symptoms appear, increasing future risk of heart disease. The findings suggest that blood pressure on the higher end of normal may not be as harmless as once believed, and that long-term monitoring is important even when readings don’t meet the threshold for hypertension. https://www.aol.com/news/researchers-between-blood-pressure-heart-164644268.html
