Is Trump planning to destroy UN + arrest COVID-19 criminals?!

Is the Trump team planning to destroy the UN and arrest COVID-19 pandemic criminals?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Trump is planning to destroy UN + arrest COVID-19 criminals!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims or suggests that the Trump team is planning to destroy the United Nations, and arrest globalist criminals for their role in the COVID-19 pandemic!

Here is an excerpt of the (intentionally?) rambling and confusing article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Insider: Trump To ‘Shatter UN Into a Thousand Pieces’ and Arrest COVID Plandemic Criminals

The Trump team is determined to shatter the United Nations into a thousand pieces and arrest globalist criminals in agencies including the World Heath Organization who are understood to be key players in the COVID plandemic.

In a groundbreaking development, the Trump transition team are preparing to authorize officials to arrest elite globalist figures allegedly involved in the perpetration of the COVID plandemic and other crimes against humanity.

The globalist United Nations and its corrupt agencies are being targeted as the head of the snake, with a Trump transition team member warning that an election win in November represents a mandate to stop funding the United Nations and go after the corrupt leadership.

In a shot across the bow at globalist overlords including Gates, Tedros and Schwab, the Trump team member said, “everything changes after November.”:

UN globalists understand the prospect of a Trump presidency means their days are numbered and they are running scared, pulling out all stops to stop Trump from returning to the White House and finishing the job he started.

Truth : Trump is not planning to destroy UN + arrest COVID-19 criminals!

This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Trump team did not announce plans to destroy UN

Let me start by simply pointing out that the Trump campaign did not announce any plan to destroy the United Nations.

If the Trump campaign ever mentioned anything about destroying the UN, it would have been reported widely, and criticised by the Democrats as well as people all over the world.

Of course, none of that ever happened. There was no legitimate media reporting, no outrage on social media, no condemnation by the Democrats. Nothing. Zilch. That’s because it was all made up.

Unsurprisingly, The People’s Voice article did not provide any actual evidence the Trump campaign is planning to destroy the UN if he wins the 2024 Presidential election.

Fact #2 : Trump team did not announce plans to arrest COVID-19 criminals

I should also point out that the Trump campaign did not announce any plan to arrest anyone for the COVID-19 “plandemic” – a long debunked conspiracy theory.

If the Trump campaign ever mentioned anything about arresting people for the being involved in a non-existent “plandemic”, it would have been reported widely, and mocked by the Democrats as well as people all over the world.

Of course, none of that ever happened. There was no legitimate media reporting, no mockery on social media, no ridicule by the Democrats. Nothing. Zilch. That’s because it was all made up.

Unsurprisingly, The People’s Voice article did not provide any actual evidence the Trump campaign is planning to arrest people for being involved in a ridiculous conspiracy theory.

Fact #3 : The People’s Voice is known for fake news

The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Founded as Your News Wire in 2014, it was rebranded as NewsPunch in November 2018, before becoming The People’s Voice. A 2017 BuzzFeed report identified NewsPunch as the second-largest source of popular fake news on Facebook that year.

Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news, so you should think twice about sharing anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did Kamala Harris lie about working at McDonald’s?!

Leave a reply

Did Kamala Harris lie about working at McDonald’s during college?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Kamala Harris did not work at McDonald’s!

Some people are claiming or suggesting that Kamala Harris may have lied about working at McDonald’s during college. Here are some examples / excerpts:

Ryan Fournier : BREAKING: McDonald’s Corporate sources have come forth and said they have no record of Kamala Harris working at any of their locations.

Who lies about working at a McDonalds?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Washington Free Beacon : ‘I Did Fries’: Kamala Harris Claims She Worked at McDonald’s, but She Never Mentioned It Until She Ran for President. Did She Really Toil Beneath the Golden Arches?

Harris’s résumé a year after she graduated college makes no mention of McDonald’s

Harris’s work at McDonald’s, which allegedly took place at a franchise in the California Bay Area the summer after her freshman year in college, is a recent addition to her carefully curated life story. For decades, Harris never mentioned it, not on the campaign trail nor in two books. It’s absent from a job application and résumé she submitted a year after she graduated from college. Third-party biographers did not write about it. Not until Harris ran for president in 2019 and spoke to a labor rally in Las Vegas did she mention the job, telling the crowd that she “was a student when I was working in a McDonald’s.”

If some details of the job have varied, while others are murky, that might be because there is no record of Harris mentioning the McDonald’s job before that labor rally in Las Vegas in June 2019. The job goes unmentioned in both of her memoirs, published in July 2010 and January 2019.

The Free Beacon also obtained a copy of Harris’s October 1987 job application for a law clerk position in the Alameda County district attorney’s office. On that form, Harris, who was in law school at the time, listed several jobs—including a month-long clerical job at a stock brokerage—in a section that asked her to list every position she held in the last 10 years. McDonald’s is absent.

Show less

Truth : Kamala Harris likely worked at McDonald’s

This appears to be an example of fake news about Kamala Harris, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Kamala Harris often spoke about working at McDonald’s

Let me start by pointing out that Kamala Harris has often spoken about working as a cashier, fry-maker, and ice-cream server at McDonald’s in Alameda, California during her summer off while studying at Howard University.

It was a short stint – she only worked at McDonald’s during the summer of 1983, but it appeared to be an experience for her. In 2019, Harris would join a picket line of McDonald’s workers who were striking for a $15 minimum wage.

At that time, she said that while she “did the french fries and the ice cream” at the Golden Arches that summer, “there was not a family relying on me to pay the rent, put food on the table, and keep the bills paid by the end of the month” like those McDonald’s workers.

Months before she ran for President, Kamala Harris spoke about working at McDonald’s on The Drew Barrymore Show – “I did fries, and then I did the cashier“.

Kamala Harris has worked at many small jobs, and may be leaning heavily on that summer job at McDonald’s because it’s more relatable to working class and middle class voters.

In contrast, her rival – former President Donald Trump is famous for his love of eating (not working) at McDonald’s, and is not known to have ever worked at any minimum wage job in his life.

Fact #2 : McDonald’s has not commented on Kamala Harris’ summer job

While Ryan Fournier claimed that McDonald’s corporate sources have come forth to say that “they have no record of Kamala Harris working at any of their locations“, he provided no evidence.

More importantly – McDonald’s itself never commented on Kamala Harris’ summer job, much less said that it has “no record of Kamala Harris” ever working at any of its locations.

Fact #3 : McDonald’s would not have franchisee’s employee records

Back in 1982, there were two McDonald’s locations in Alameda, California – at 1346 Park Street, and at 2031 Webster Street. It is not known where Kamala Harris worked that summer.

However, it is more than likely that both McDonald’s restaurants were owned and operated by franchisees, as McDonald’s was expanding rapidly through franchising in the early 1980s. Even today, some 82% of McDonald’s restaurants are owned by franchisees, and not owned by McDonald’s Corporation.

McDonald’s franchisees handle their own employees, and McDonald’s corporate would not have those employee records. So even if someone at McDonald’s Corporation took the effort to look into employee records, they would not be able to see employee records handled by franchisees.

I should also point out that Kamala Harris worked at McDonald’s in the summer of 1983 – 41 years ago. It is highly unlikely that McDonald’s Corporation or even the franchisee would still have employee records going that far back!

Fact #4 : Kamala Harris listed her most recent jobs

The Free Beacon pointed out that when Kamala Harris applied for the position of a law clerk in the Alameda County district attorney’s office in October 1987, she failed to mention her summer job at McDonald’s four years earlier.

If you look at the form below (archive), you can see that Kamala Harris filled the three available slots with her three most recent jobs:

working as a law clerk for Alexander, Miller & McGee from June to August 1987
working as an operator for Charles Schwab & Co from July to August 1986
working as a student assistant for the Federal Trade Commission from April to May 1986

While her other jobs were not listed, it seems more than likely that Kamala Harris would have other jobs to list before she would need to list her stint at McDonalds in the summer of 1983.

In fact, her resume stated that she also worked as a U.S. Senate Intern for Senator Alan Cranston in the summer of 1984 – a year before her summer job at McDonald’s.

It also seems likely that Kamala Harris would have realised that a summer job frying potatoes and working the cash register at McDonald’s might not impress the Alameda County district attorney’s office, even though some people might feel otherwise.

Fact #5 : This is just political fake news

Ultimately, this appears to be yet another example of political fake news surrounding the upcoming 2024 US Presidential election. Here are some other examples I fact checked recently:

As the 2024 US Presidential election draws close, you can expect more of such fake news to appear, so be wary and skeptical!

Did California DNC delegates refuse to vote for Kamala Harris?!

Leave a reply

Did California DNC delegates pass and refuse to vote for Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party candidate for President?! Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : California DNC delegates refused to vote for Kamala Harris!

Some people are sharing a video, which they claim / suggest shows California DNC delegates passing and refusing to vote for Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party candidate for President!

MJTruthUltra / Jack Straw : Fake pic! That is a guy that got shot with Buckshot years ago, stop with the fear porn already

The Vigilant Fox : California delegates initially chose to PASS instead of casting their votes for Kamala Harris.

Donald J. Trump – Parody / Aayat Fatima : BREAKING: California and Minnesota PASS on casting their delegate votes for Kamala Harris! Holy! That is HILARIOUS! She ruined that state! They don’t want her either!

https://www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/DNC-California-delegates-passes-to-vote-for-Kamala-Harris-small.mp4?_=1

Truth : California DNC delegates did not refuse to vote for Kamala Harris!

This appears to be an example of fake news circulating on social media, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : California and Minnesota passed during DNC roll call

Let me start by pointing out that it wasn’t just California delegates who “passed” on voting for Kamala Harris during DNC roll call, Minnesota delegates also did the same.

Fact #2 : California and Minnesota passed as tradition dictated

Even though delegates from California and Minnesota passed on voting for Kamala Harris during the DNC roll call, they eventually did so at the end.

As WUSA9 explains, that’s because it’s tradition for the nominees’ home states to pass on voting initially, so they can cast the “deciding votes” at the end of the roll call.

Why California, Minnesota passed at the DNC

California and Minnesota, the home states of Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, have passed during the convention roll call — letting the party roll on.

This year’s roll call has been unlike any in political history. But one tradition held, the one mandating that the home state of the nominee generally passes, then goes near the end to pass the deciding vote to formally clinch the nomination.

This year, Minnesota, where Walz is governor, could get the count close and let Harris’ California and its motherlode of delegates put her over the top as the Democratic nominee.

Vice President nominee Tim Walz is the governor of Minnesota, so its delegates voted to nominate Kamala Harris close to the end. Kamala Harris is from California, so its large number of delegates were given the privilege to put her over the top as the Democratic Party nominee in the 2024 Presidential election.

In fact, it was California governor Gavin Newsom who delivered the state’s delegates to Vice President Kamala Harris, surrounded by members of the California delegation.

Fact #3 : No legitimate report of CA delegates refusing to vote for Kamala Harris

If delegates from California actually refused to vote to nominate Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate for President, it would have been widely reported.

Yet, there has been no legitimate media reporting of such a shocking development. That’s because it never happened – the delegates from California voted for her at the end, as tradition dictated.

Fact #4 : DNC roll call was only ceremonial

I should also point out that the roll call vote during the 2024 Democratic National Convention was only ceremonial, because the Democratic Party already held a virtual vote on August 6, that formally nominated Kamala Harris as its official nominee in the 2024 Presidential election.

What you saw at the 2024 DNC was just a fun, “celebratory” roll call, with DJ Cassidy spinning a special song for each state as they took their turn to nominate Kamala Harris.

Did Harris-Walz campaign use fake AI crowd photos?!

Leave a reply

Did the Harris-Walz campaign use fake crowd photos created using generative AI technology?! Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Harris-Walz campaign used fake AI crowd photos!

Some people are sharing photos, which they claim prove that the Harris-Walz campaign got caught using fake crowd photos created using generative AI technology!

Donald Trump : Has anyone noticed that Kamala CHEATED at the airport? There was nobody at the plane, and she “A.l.’d” it, and showed a massive “crowd” of so-called followers, BUT THEY DIDN’T EXIST! She was turned in by a maintenance worker at the airport when he noticed the fake crowd picture, but there was nobody there, later confirmed by the reflection of the mirror like finish on the Vice Presidential Plane. She’s a CHEATER. She had NOBODY waiting, and the “crowd” looked like 10,000 people! Same thing is happening with her fake “crowds” at her speeches. This is the way the Democrats win Elections, by CHEATING – And they’re even worse at the Ballot Box. She should be disqualified because the creation of a fake image is ELECTION INTERFERENCE. Anyone who does that will cheat at ANYTHING!

Dinesh D’Souza : Check the reflection in the plane. Does this look like a real picture to you?

Catturd : LOL – it’s not even good AI.

Chuck Callesto : BREAKING REPORT: Harris campaign BUSTED using FAKE crowd photo at campaign rally stop..

Blaire White (screenshot) : Kamala Harris using AI to inflate crowds is so INSANE that it’s taken me seeing 5+ examples to believe it.

Laura Loomer : Kamala Harris’s campaign is using AI to manipulate her campaign photos and videos. And it’s all being orchestrated by @MikeNellis, a senior advisor to Kamala Harris who works with Loren Merchan, the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan as I have previously reported.

Show less

Truth : Harris-Walz campaign did not use fake AI crowd photos!

This is yet another example of fake news about the 2024 US Presidential election, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Airport photo is genuine and was not created by AI

Many people, including former President Donald Trump, falsely claimed that the Harris-Walz campaign faked photos of the crowd that greeted Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

The photo is genuine, and is one of the many taken and posted by people who attended the event, which was attended by thousands of people, as well as prominent politicians. It was also live streamed by dozens of news channel.

In addition, Shayan Sardarizadeh of BBC Verify checked the metadata of the original photo, and confirmed that it was taken using an iPhone 12 Pro Max on 7 August at 18:28 local time.

While it is possible that some photos might have been digitally manipulated to make them appear fake, or created by generative AI software, the size of the crowd is indisputable. According to the local news outlet MLive, “about about 15,000 people filled the hangar, the crowd spilling out onto the tarmac.”

Fact #2 : Telephoto lens make the crowd appear closer than it really is

People are pointing to the reflection of Air Force Two’s fuselage and engine cowling, which appear to show the hangar but no sign of any people. That does not mean the photo was created by AI.

For one thing – the photo appears to have been taken using a telephoto lens, which makes the crowd appear much closer to Air Force Two than it really is.

As this video below shows, the crowd was actually located close to the hangar, and a considerable distance away from Air Force Two. Hence, they would not be so obviously seen in the reflection of Air Force Two’s fuselage or engine cowling.

https://www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Harris-Walz-Michigan-airport-video-360p.mp4?_=2

Fact #3 : Reflections are “compressed” on curved surfaces

The second reason why you don’t see the large crowds visibly reflected on Air Force Two’s fuselage and engine cowling is because they are curved surfaces, on which reflections would appear compressed.

It may seem silly but let me just point out that the fuselage and engine cowling of Air Force Two are cylindrical. Like funhouse mirrors, shiny cylindrical surfaces distort reflections, and will not reflect an image like a flat mirror.

If you look closely, you can see how the hangar appears compressed vertically – it appears to be very long, but squashed flat, like someone sat on it. You can actually see the crowd in that photo – it just appears as a dark line because its reflection was compressed vertically by the curved surface.

This video, which was created by someone else (sorry, I don’t know who, but will update this article with the correct credit when I identify the creator) recreated the scene using Blender, to show and explain why the crowd’s reflection can be seen in the photo – they just appear compressed.

https://www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Kamala-Harris-fake-crowd-video-360p.mp4?_=3

Fact #4 : Air Force Two no longer has tail number

Some conspiracists pointed out that the aircraft in the photo lacks a tail number, with some pointing out that Air Force Two should have the tail number 80002.

While generative AI can and do create images with distorted or even missing text, that is no the case with the viral photo of Air Force Two at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport.

The truth is – the US Air Force started removing tail numbers and other individually-identifying markings from its C-32A and C-32B executive and personnel transport jets for operational security reasons.

In fact, when JD Vance – the Republican candidate for Vice President recently walked up to Air Force Two in Wisconsin on 7 August 2024, photos and videos clearly show that it lacked any tail number.

Fact #5 : AI stadium crowd photo was not created by Harris-Walz campaign

The viral stadium photo, which purportedly shows supporters of the Harris-Walz campaign, was created using generative AI software. There are many obvious signs of generative AI in that viral photo, as many people have pointed out.

However, it was not created or shared by the Harris-Walz campaign. It was created and posted (archive) by a parody account on X (formerly Twitter) called Dr. Literaleigh A Pheline 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈 (@Sarcasmcat24).

When American YouTuber and political commentator, Blair White, shared that photo, @Sarcasmcat24 pointed out to her that it was AI-generated:

That’s a photo that I generated with AI

Zoom in a bit, you’ll see that the faces aren’t even well developed.

Yeah, I run a parody account, glad you enjoyed the post! 😜

White has since deleted her post, but many continue to post this fake photo (on the right) and falsely claim that it was posted or created by the Harris-Walz campaign. That’s simply not true.

Fact #6 : This is just political fake news

Ultimately, this is yet another example of political fake news surrounding the upcoming 2024 US Presidential election. Here are some other examples I fact checked recently:

Show less

Truth : Tim Walz was never hospitalised after ingesting horse semen!

This is yet another example of fake news about Governor Tim Walz, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : West Point Daily News photo is fake

If Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was once hospitalised, and had his stomach pumped, after ingesting horse semen, it would have been widely reported.

However, this viral claim was based solely on a photo of what appears to be an old clipping from a newspaper called West Point Daily News. Here’s an excerpt:

“Local Man’s Stomach Pumped After ‘Neigh’-borhood Dare Goes Wrong”

Nebraska Man Hospitalized After Unusual OverIngestion Incident

August 30, 1965 West Point, NE

In a bizarre and unprecedented medical emergency, Tim Walz, a local resident of West Point, Nebraska, was rushed to West Point General Hospital last night after reportedly overingesting horse semen. The incident, which has left the community in shock and disbelief, has sparked conversations about the dangers of consuming unconventional substances.

Emergency responders were called to Mr. Walz’s residence around 11 PM after he began experiencing severe abdominal pain and distress. According to paramedics on the scene, Mr. Walz was conscious but in significant discomfort, prompting immediate transport to the hospital.

Dr. Amanda Thompson, the attending physician at West Point General, confirmed that Mr. Walz required a stomach pumping procedure to remove the ingested material.

As shocking as this news report may appear, the photo is fake, and there is no such news report.

Fact #2 : West Point Daily News does not exist

There is no newspaper that goes by the name of West Point Daily News. There is a newspaper called West Point News, but it has never published such an article.

Fact #3 : West Point General Hospital does not exist

There is also no hospital in West Point, Nebraska, called the West Point General Hospital.

Fact #4 : Dr. Amanda Thompson does not exist in Nebraska

Needless to say, there is no evidence of a Dr. Amanda Thompson that works in that non-existent hospital, or in any other hospital in West Point, Nebraska.

Politifact went further – searching on Nebraska’s Health and Human Services Department website for Amanda Thompson. It only found six entries for medication aides, nurse aides, pharmacist interns, and pharmacy technicians, but no doctors with the name Amanda Thompson.

Fact #5 : Tim Walz lived more than 560 km away in 1995

It would be impossible for Tim Walz to be hospitalised in West Point, Nebraska in 1995, because he was living in Alliance, Nebraska – more than 560 kilometres away, at that time.

Fact #6 : Photo of Tim Walz was taken a year later

It is also impossible for a newspaper to use that photo of Tim Walz in an August 1995 report, because that photo was only taken sometime in 1996, while Walz was teaching history and coaching football at the Mankato West High School.

Mankato, incidentally, is in Minnesota, and about 400 km away from West Point, Nebraska.

The fake news creator appears to have taken that old photo of Tim Walz from a KSTP-TV news story on “Tim Walz’s early life in Minnesota”.

Fact #7 : This is just political fake news

Ultimately, this is yet another example of political fake news surrounding the upcoming 2024 US Presidential election. Here are some other examples I fact checked recently:

Elon Musk shares fake, digitally-altered Kamala Harris video!

Leave a reply

Take a look at the viral Kamala Harris video Elon Musk just shared on X, and find out why it’s a fake, digitally-altered video!

Elon Musk shares fake, digitally-altered Kamala Harris video!

Elon Musk just shared a video of Kamala Harris (archive) to million of his fans on X (formerly Twitter), with the comment:

This is amazing 😂

The video, which garnered over 7.5 million views as of 11 PM, July 26, is obviously fake and digitally altered. However, Elon Musk did not label it as such.

https://www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Fake-Kamala-Harris-Presidential-candidate-video-small.mp4?_=4

Why Kamala Harris video Elon Musk shared is fake + digitally-altered!

This is yet another example of misinformation being propagated on X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : It Was A Parody Video

Let me start by pointing out that the Kamala Harris video was a campaign ad parody that was created by the Mr Reagan account on X (archive).

Mr Reagan clearly labelled it as a PARODY, although he conveniently did not include a parody label in the video itself, so when people share his video, it may be misinterpreted as genuine.

Unfortunately, Elon Musk did not explicitly mention that the Kamala Harris video was just a parody, when he shared the video with millions of his fans. So it is more than likely that some of his fans might actually believe it’s real. Silly, I know, but we are talking about Elon Musk fans…

To be fair, X does not require users to label parody videos. However, its Civic Integrity Policy explicitly forbids “posting or sharing content that may suppress participation… or lead to offline violence during an election.”

Fact #2 : The Audio Was Digitally Altered

While the parody video uses genuine video clips of Vice President Kamala Harris, its audio was fake, and definitely digitally altered, likely created using an AI voice generator.

I, Kamala Harris, am your Democrat candidate for President because Joe Biden finally exposed his senility at the debate. Thanks, Joe!

I was selected because I am the ultimate diversity hire. I’m both a woman and a person of color. If you criticize anything I say, you’re both sexist and racist.

I may not know the first thing about running the country, but remember that’s a good thing if you’re a Deep State puppet.

I had four years under the tutelage of the ultimate Deep State puppet, a wonderful mentor, Joe Biden. Joe taught me Rule Number One – carefully hide your total incompetence.

I take insignificant things and I discuss them as if they’re significant, and I believe that exploring the significance of the insignificant is itself significant.

Another trick is trying to sound Black. I pretend to celebrate Kwanzaa and in my speeches, always do my best Barack Obama impression.

And okay, look, maybe my work addressing the root causes of the border crisis were catastrophic but my knowledge of international politics is truly shocking.

And just remember when voting his November, it is to see what can be unburdened by what has been. And by what has been, I mean Joe Biden.

If you think the country went to shit over the past four years, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Show less

To be clear – Kamala Harris did not say any of that. The audio is completely fake.

Fact #3 : Video Only Featured One Kamala Harris Gaffe

It appears that Mr Reagan has to use a fake audio of Kamala Harris because she does not make that many gaffes. In fact, the entire video only featured one gaffe in which Kamala Harris mistakenly touted the U.S. “alliance with the Republic of North Korea“.

In contrast, her rival for the Presidency of the United States – Donald Trump has made so many gaffes, it would be simple to make videos mocking them without faking his voice.

In fact, conservative lawyer and Trump critic George Conway did just that, releasing a campaign ad video highlighting Donald Trump’s best gaffes. The video, which is half as long as the Mr Reagan video, showcases the Trump’s numerous gaffes and obvious cognitive problems in his speeches. Unlike the Mr Reagan video, there was no editing of Trump’s voice.

As Conway explained, Donald Trump “wanted to make this election all about mental fitness“, so the video will show that “even before he began showing age-related cognitive decline, Trump had a long history of doing and saying bizarre things“.

Conway continued, “He was never right in the head. And as he’s gotten older, he’s only gotten worse. Especially now that he’s the only old guy in the race, it’s more important than ever for the public to focus on Trump’s lack of mental fitness when they make their decision this November“.

Did Kamala Harris idiotically described herself as a woman sitting at the table and wearing a blue suit?! Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Kamala Harris Idiotically Described Herself As Woman Wearing Blue Suit!

Some people are sharing and/or mocking a video of US Vice President Kamala Harris describing herself as a woman sitting at the table, wearing a blue suit.

RNC Research / Libs of TikTok : “I am Kamala Harris, my pronouns are she and her, and I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.”

Elon Musk : Imagine 4 years of this …

Truth : Kamala Harris Described Herself As Woman Wearing Blue Suit To Visually Disabled!

This is yet another example of fake news about Kamala Harris, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Video Was From July 2022

Let me start by pointing out that this video is genuine, but it isn’t new. The video is actually two years old, being recorded at the White House on July 26, 2022.

This is important because many people are sharing and mocking this video now in July 2024, right after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign, and endorsed Kamala Harris instead.

Fact #2 : Kamala Harris Was Describing Herself To Visually Disabled People

While the video was not digitally-altered, and does indeed show Vice President Kamala Harris describing herself as a woman sitting at the table, wearing a blue suit, she was actually doing that for the benefit of visually disabled people at the meeting.

That video was recorded at a roundtable that Kamala Harris hosted with disability rights leaders to discuss access to reproductive healthcare, on the 32nd anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

As Sara Luterman, a 19th News journalist who attended the meeting, pointed out – Kamala Harris did so because some of those participants are blind / visually impaired. Luterman herself is partially blind.

This was at a meeting with disability rights leaders earlier today. VP Harris is describing what she is wearing because some of those leaders are blind.

Will those who mocked Kamala Harris now apologise for their crass remarks? One can only hope…

Fact #3 : Self-Description Is Common Practice With Visually Impaired People

According to the Missouri School for the Blind, it is actually best practice to self-describe yourself to visually impaired people:

Introduce yourself using your name and/or position, especially if you are wearing a name badge containing this information.

Be precise and thorough when you describe people, places or things. Don’t leave things out or change a description because you think it is unimportant or unpleasant.

Feel free to use visually descriptive language. Making reference to colors, patterns, designs, and shapes is perfectly acceptable.

Instead of mocking Kamala Harris for describing herself to visually impaired people at the meeting, we should applaud her for doing so.

Fact #4 : Biden Admin Implemented Gender-Neutral Pronouns In 2021

While some are mocking Kamala Harris for describing her pronouns, this isn’t new. Neither is this use of pronouns something that only she does.

Within 24 hours of President Joe Biden’s inauguration in January 2021, the White House released a new contact form, in which allows users to select their pronounces of choice.

In other words, Kamala Harris is describing her gender and pronouns to visually impaired people at the roundtable, in line with the Biden Administration’s policy on gender inclusivity.

Is Kamala Harris Not Eligible To Become US President?!

Leave a reply

Is Kamala Harris not eligible to become President of the United States, because she was born to non-citizens?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Kamala Harris Is Not Eligible To Become US President!

Some people are claiming or suggesting that Kamala Harris is not eligible to become President of the United States, because she was born to non-citizens!

Mario Nawfal : 🇺🇸IS KAMALA INELIGIBLE TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT?

Mike Engleman : Kamala Harris is not eligible to run for President. Neither of her parents were natural born American citizens when she was born.

The Patriot Voice : If @KamalaHarris isn’t LEGALLY able to hold the office of US President….

HOW THE HELL IS SHE ABLE HOLD THE OFFICE OF VICE PRESIDENT?!?!?!

Asking for EVERY critical thinking American.

Paul A. Szypula : Kamala Harris is ineligible to hold the office of President because neither parents were born in the US and naturalized at the time or Harris’s birth

Paul Ingrassia : According to constitutional scholar @DrJohnEastman of the @ClaremontInst (an opinion I share alongside many other legal professionals), Kamala Harris is ineligible to serve as President under the 12th Amendment.

Thus, Kamala must step aside for another candidate who is actually a natural born citizen.

Circulating with a copy of her birth certificate : Unless proven with court documents, at the time of Kamala’s birth, her parents were not U.S. citizens. They were foreign students. At the time of her birth, she was the daughter of non-citizens. This makes her an anchor baby. She is not eligible to hold the office of President.

Truth : Kamala Harris Is Eligible To Become US President!

This is yet another example of fake news about Kamala Harris, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Kamala Harris Is A “Natural Born Citizen”

Let me start by simply pointing out that no matter how many times people claim otherwise, Kamala Harris is a “natural born citizen” of the United States of America, by birthright, and can run for public office (including the Presidency) because she has resided in the United States for the past 14 years.

The United States provides for citizenship by birth, regardless of the citizenship of the parents – a principle called jus soli. Therefore, children of legal or illegal immigrants who were born in the United States are U.S. citizens by the virtue of being born on US soil (PDF).

In addition, U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) reaffirmed that people born in the United States are indeed natural-born citizens, regardless of their parents’ citizenship.

Fact #2 : Kamala Harris Meets All Requirements Under US Constitution

According to the Twelfth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 specifically lists the three requirements for persons who intend to run for the Presidency:

They should be natural born U.S. citizens (she is)
They should be at least 35 years old (she is 59 years old)
They should have resided in the U.S. for at least 14 years (she has)

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

As Kamala Harris has met all three requirements under the U.S. Constitution, she is fully-qualified to become President of the United States.

Fact #3 : Kamala Harris Is US Vice President

The John Eastman opinion piece (archive), which questioned Kamala Harris’ eligibility isn’t recent. He wrote it back in August 2020, to suggest that Harris might not be eligible to become Vice President.

His opinion was heavily criticised and mocked by many legal scholars, and soundly debunked by Professor Eugene Volokh of the UCLA School of Law.

In any case, John Eastman’s personal opinion did not amount to anything more than an embarrassing side note in the dusty annals of political history, when Kamala Harris became the 49th Vice President of the United States. That would not be possible if she did not meet those requirements under the U.S. Constitution.

As the requirements to serve as the U.S. Vice President is the same as that of the President, there is absolutely no reason for Vice President Kamala Harris to become President. Digging up an old, debunked opinion piece from 2020 will not change that fact.

Did Vice President Kamala Harris say that “Today is today, and yesterday was today yesterday” in a viral video?! Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Kamala Harris Said “Today Is Today” In Viral Video!

Truth : Kamala Harris Did Not Say “Today Is Today” In Viral Video!

This is yet another example of fake news about Kamala Harris, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Viral Videos Are Fake And Were Edited

Let me start by simply pointing out that the viral videos showing Kamala Harris speaking about “today”, “tomorrow”, and “the future” is fake, and was edited.

The fake video creator used a segment of a speech Kamala Harris gave on April 25, 2023, at Howard University in Washington D.C., and replaced the audio with a fake voice-over, which said:

Today is today and yesterday was today yesterday. Tomorrow will be today tomorrow. So, live today so the future today will be as the past today, as it is tomorrow.

Fact #2 : Viral Video Was Digitally Altered

The viral video has been digitally altered with a voice-over, and her lip movements synced to match the added audio.

Reuters spoke to Dr. Dominic Lees, an associate professor in filmmaking from the University of Reading, who confirmed that the video was “not authentic”:

“Close observers will detect the video ‘noise’ around the mouth,” he said, adding that the lack of background sound indicates the voice was not recorded at this location.

Indeed, if you look closely at her mouth, you can see visual artifacts. Her chin also appears to “drop off”, especially when Kamala Harris started to speak in the edited video clip.

Fact #3 : Audio Was Created By Estee Palti

Reuters traced the origin of the voice-over audio to TikTok user Estee Palti (@mommyrn88) who used it in this video.

Estee Palti, who does impersonations of Kamala Harris, publicly stated (archive) that the video was “doctored” using her voice.

The video is doctored. It is my voice someone made the video

To be clear – Palti isn’t responsible for these fake Kamala Harris videos. The fake video creators merely used her voice-over in their videos.

Truth : Hillary Clinton Is Not Replacing Joe Biden In 2024 Election!

This is yet another example of fake news about US politics, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : No Evidence Hillary Clinton Is Replacing Joe Biden

Let me start by simply pointing out that Hillary Clinton is not replacing Joe Biden in the 2024 US Presidential Election.

These rumours appear to originate from posts on X (formerly Twitter) by Alex Jones and senior Trump advisor, Jason Miller. Jason Miller never offered any evidence, while Alex Jones claimed to have called Roger Stone and other unnamed “sources” who allegedly confirmed it.

I called Roger Stone, I called other sources. They said, yeah, that’s the word.

However, Roger Stone is not only a close confidante of Donald Trump, and self-described political hit man, he was convicted of lying to authorities, obstructing a congressional investigation, and witness intimidation, amongst the seven felony counts. Never mind he lacks credibility, Roger Stone is unlikely to know anything about any plan within the Democratic Party to replace President Joe Biden as its nominee for the 2024 Presidential Election.

So who were his other sources? Someone at the White House or the DNC? The man running the hot dog stand down the street? An ouija board? Who knows??? What appears certain is that this rumour has not been independently corroborated by other sources, never mind actually verified as true.

It doesn’t help that Hillary Clinton herself ruled out running for President in the 2024 election during a “Morning Joe” interview in March 2022.

Fact #2 : Joe Biden Endorsed Kamala Harris After Dropping Out

On Sunday, 21 July 2024, President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign, and endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris to succeed him as the Democratic candidate.

Fact #3 : Rumour Was Based On Opinion Piece By Pablo O’Hana

Alex Jones appears to be reacting to an opinion piece published by The Hill, in which Pablo O’Hana suggested that Hillary Clinton would be a good choice to replace President Joe Biden should he step down as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 Presidential election.

All right, folks, it’s Saturday night and we saw The Hill, all the news reporting Hillary said to replace Joe Biden. They’re really going to try to replace Joe Biden in Chicago with Hillary Clinton with all of her criminal activity, all of her background, all of this. So they are literally involved in a Democrat civil war, a power struggle over what public gets control.

However, Pablo O’Hana never claimed that Hillary Clinton will be replacing Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee at the DNC convention. He only stated that she would make a great candidate to replace Biden. It’s clearly stated in the first two paragraphs of his article!

“But who?”

The strongest argument against replacing President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic nominee is the notion that no suitable successor exists. But there is, and not just a good one but one of the most qualified people ever to run for the office: Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Even the title unambiguously states that he thinks Hillary Clinton would be a good replacement for Biden – “Ready for Round 2: Why we Need Hillary more than ever“. Did anyone who made these claims actually read the article???

Fact #4 : Pablo O’Hana Criticised Claim Hillary Clinton Is Replacing Joe Biden

Pablo O’Hana criticised claims that Hillary Clinton is replacing Joe Biden based on the opinion piece he wrote for The Hill.

At first, he did not respond specifically to Alex Jones’ comments, but expressed his amazement that some people are unable to differentiate between news and opinions.

The inability to differentiate between ‘news’ and ‘opinion piece’ is absolutely extraordinary

But after more and more people ran with the (baseless) claim that Hillary Clinton has been confirmed to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee, he pushed back more forcefully, calling out “the insanity from Alex Jones or Trump hacks“.

I truly can’t believe how much drama my opinion piece has caused on the right. I implore you to properly read what I wrote and not listen to the insanity from Alex Jones or Trump hacks.

That is good advice. Instead of listening to people who have a history of being less than honest, you should read Pablo O’Hana’s article and determine for yourself if he really stated that Hillary Clinton has been confirmed to replace Joe Biden in the US Presidential Election.

Did his family admit Joe Biden was replaced by body double?!

Did his own family just admit that Joe Biden was replaced by a body double?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : His Family Admits Joe Biden Was Replaced By Body Double!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that Joe Biden’s family just admitted that he was replaced by a body double!

Here is an excerpt of the article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Biden’s Family Admit Elite Replaced ‘Real’ Joe Biden Years Ago

Is Joe Biden just another compromised pedophile selected by the globalist elite to serve as a puppet president – or is there something even darker and more dangerous going on?

Now members of Biden’s own family are admitting that the real Joe Biden is not the man making decisions at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

A series of damning videos featuring Biden glitching have raised serious questions about his health and whether he is being represented in public by actors and in videos by AI.

Many people believe the globalist elite selected Joe Biden to have a compromised puppet in the White House whose strings could be controlled by hidden hands.

We are now witnessing evidence of the charade and we are compiling evidence of their deceptions.

One of the actors pretending to be Joe Biden was caught walking to his car in a back parking lot without secret service, looking far more sprightly than the man who had to be helped off the debate stage by his wife.

The White House has Joes in different post codes.

For those who have been paying attention, there has been evidence that they have been doing this stuff since the early days of Biden’s term in office.

The Democrat deceptions do not end there. Wait until you hear what a former CIA chief of disguise has admitted about what they were doing while she was at the agency. And a Biden granddaughter has a bombshell admission about how the elite are using her grandfather in a Weekend at Bernie’s style hoax.

The global elite and Deep State are so determined to win this election they have been prepared to go to any lengths to keep the moribund corpse of Joe Biden in office.

Truth : His Family Did Not Admit Joe Biden Was Replaced By Body Double!

This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : His Family Did Not Admit Joe Biden Was Replaced By Body Double

Let me start by pointing out that Joe Biden’s family never admitted he was replaced by a body double.

If any Biden family member actually claimed or admitted that the President of the United States had been replaced by a body double, it would have not only reported widely across the world, it would have ignited a political crisis!

After all, Joe Biden was elected as President of the United States, not someone else who looks like him. It is simply not legal for a body double to stand in for Joe Biden in his official duties.

To date, there has been no media coverage or political outrage over a Joe Biden body double. That’s because it was completely made-up.

Unsurprisingly, The People’s Voice provided no evidence of any Biden family member admitting that Joe Biden was replaced by a body double.

Fact #2 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News

The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Are Democrats switching from Biden to Michelle Obama?!

Are the Democrats preparing to switch from Joe Biden to Michelle Obama in the 2024 Presidential election?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Democrats Are Switching From Biden To Michelle Obama!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims or suggests that the the Democrats are preparing to switch from Joe Biden to Michelle Obama in the 2024 Presidential election!

Here is an excerpt of the long and (intentionally?) confusing article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Michelle Obama Spotted on Voter Registration Letters As Democrats Prepare ‘Big Switch’

Former first lady Michelle Obama has begun appearing on Democrat voter registration letters in key states as Democrats prepare to switch candidates midstream following Biden’s disastrous first debate performance against Trump.

Inviting potential voters to “join us for a party at the polls,” the registration letters feature the visage of Michelle Obama and messages urging Democrat voters to “vote together” and “vote early.”

Senior Democrats have given Joe Biden one week to win Democrats back over or exit the presidential race, according to reports.

Democrat insiders and donors have told Biden privately that “he has a week to win over Democrats or they will move to oust him after a disastrous performance in the first presidential debate,” The Telegraph reported Friday.

Michelle Obama is understood to be the leading candidate to replace the ailing president who was unable to complete his sentences or land a single blow on Trump during the CNN debate.

Show less

No Evidence Democrats Are Switching From Biden To Michelle Obama!

This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Democrats Are Not Switching From Biden To Michelle Obama

First, let me just point out that there is no indication that the Democrats are planning to switch from Joe Biden to Michelle Obama in the 2024 Presidential election.

If the Democrats are planning to replace Joe Biden with Michelle Obama in the 2024 Presidential election, it would have been widely reported by the mainstream media. Yet, that never happened because it was all made up.

While Democrats are considering the possibility of switching from Joe Biden to a younger and more dynamic candidate after the disastrous first debate against Donald Trump, Michelle Obama isn’t one of them. Rather, they appear to be considering the likes of Vice President Kamala Harris, California governor Gavin Newsom, Illinois governor J. B. Pritzker, and Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Unsurprisingly, The People’s Voice article provided no evidence to back up its “fact checked” claims.

Fact #2 : Voter Registration Card Was Sent By Non-Profit Organisation

As “evidence”, The People’s Voice article shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) which purportedly shows a voter registration card bearing Michelle Obama’s face.

That mailer is genuine, but it has nothing to do with Democrats switching from Joe Biden to Michelle Obama for the 2024 Presidential election.

That registration card mailer was sent by The Voter Participation Center (whose name and address are clearly seen on the upper left corner). It also clearly states that The Voter Participation Center is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organisation.

The Voter Participation Center works with election officials and other grassroots organisations to make it easier for people in the United States to register and cast their votes.

This recent mailer also has nothing to do with the Biden-Trump debate, because similar mailers were also sent out before the 2022 midterm congressional elections in November 2022.

Fact #3 : Michelle Obama Ruled Out Presidency Bid

Despite her popularity, Michelle Obama has consistently ruled out running for the US Presidency. In fact, on 5 March 2024, the former First Lady’s office told NBC News that she does not intend to run for President:

As former First Lady Michelle Obama has expressed several times over the years, she will not be running for president.

Mrs. Obama supports President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’ re-election campaign.

– Crystal Carson, Director of Communications for Michelle Obama

Truth : Stormy Daniels Did Not Wear Mushroom Dress To Trump Trial!

This appears to be another example of fake news circulating on social media, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Photo Of Mushroom Dress Was Edited!

Let me start by quickly pointing out that the viral photo of Stormy Daniels wearing a mushroom dress is fake. It was most definitely edited by simply adding orange mushrooms to the original photo.

If you look carefully, you can see that the mushrooms were simply added to her blue dress, and they do not change with the folds of her dress.

It was actually edited from a photo taken when Stormy Daniels went for her television interview on The View in New York, in April 2018. She wore a shiny blue dress that day, without any mushrooms on it.

Fact #2 : Stormy Daniels Confirms Photo Was Edited

Stormy Daniels herself refuted the viral photo, stating that it was photoshopped from her 2018 appearance on The View.

I keep seeing this stupid dress photo. And although it is funny, it is not real. This is a photoshopped photo from my 2018 appearance on The View.

Fact #3 : Stormy Daniels Has Not Attended Trump Trial

Stormy Daniels also pointed out that she is not in New York City, and has not attended Donald Trump’s “hush money” trial. In fact, she is “currently directing a TV show in a completely time zone”!

It is scary how gullible a lot of people are because I’m not in NYC and haven’t been to court yet. I’ve been directing a TV show in a completely different time zone.

Fact #4 : Viral Photo Based On Infamous Mushroom Line-Up!

Just in case you are wondering what the fuss is about, the mushrooms are a reference to the infamous October 2018 interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, in which Stormy Daniels picked out President Donald Trump’s penis from a mushroom line-up.

Since then, Donald Trump has be associated with short and fat mushrooms. Anytime people speak of Trump and mushrooms in the same sentence, it is in reference to his penis shape and size.

WEF ordered electors to not certify Trump’s 2024 election win?!

Leave a reply

Did the WEF just order US electors to not certify Trump’s 2024 election win?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : WEF Orders US Electors To Not Certify Trump’s 2024 Election Win!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed or suggested that the WEF just order US electors to NOT certify Trump’s 2024 election win!

WEF Orders U.S. Electors To Not Certify Trump’s 2024 Election Win

The World Economic Forum has instructed electors in the U.S. to not certify the upcoming presidential election if Trump wins.

According to the WEF-funded publication The Atlantic, Democrats must prepare to refuse to certifiy the 2024 election in November.

The WEF mouthpiece put out an article Friday titled, “How Democrats Could Disqualify Trump If the Supreme Court Doesn’t“, outlining a strategy for Democrats to defy the election results if they don’t get their way.

This is just the latest example of Democrats projecting their intention to defy the will of the voters if Trump wins the 2024 election.

emocrats should expect to go to prison in D.C. for 22 years for trying to overturn the election since they’ve set the precedent by jailing nonviolent J6 protesters for speaking out against the rigged 2020 election.

Truth : WEF Did Not Order US Electors To Not Certify Trump’s 2024 Election Win!

This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : WEF Did Not Order US Electors To Do Anything

Let me start by pointing out that the World Economic Forum (WEF) did not order or instruct any US elector to not certify Trump’s 2024 election win.

If the WEF actually did that, it would not only have been reported widely by the mainstream media, it would have been lambasted by Trump supporters, and everyone else who believes in a fair election.

Yet, there was no such report, not even some social media outrage. That’s because that never happened.

The People’s Voice article, unsurprisingly, offered no evidence to back up its “fact checked” claim. No document, not even a (doctored?) audio or video of WEF chairman Klaus Schwab issuing those orders.

Fact #2 : WEF Wasn’t Even Mentioned In The Atlantic Article

The source of this nonsensical claim is an article by The Atlantic called “How Democrats Could Disqualify Trump If The Supreme Court Doesn’t“. Guess what – the World Economic Forum wasn’t even mentioned in the article!

So how did The People’s Voice article conclude that the WEF just ordered or instructed US electors to not certify Donald Trump??? Yet again, The People’s Voice article provided no evidence to back up its claim…

Fact #3 : WEF Does Not Fund The Atlantic

The People’s Voice article called The Atlantic a “WEF-funded publication“. As far as I can tell – that’s utter bollocks.

Steve Jobs’ widow, Laurene Powell Jobs acquired majority ownership of The Atlantic on 28 July 2017, through her Emerson Collective organisation. This relegated David G. Bradley and Atlantic Media to the minority ownership of The Atlantic.

Of course, The People’s Voice article provided no evidence, just a single link to a profile of The Atlantic’s current CEO, Nicholas Thompson on the WEF website.

Fact #4 : Article Was About Congress, Not Electors

The Atlantic article did not mention anything about electors being ordered not to certify Trump’s win in the 2024 Presidential election (which is not a foregone conclusion).

The article was about the opinions of Democrats in the US Congress, and has nothing to do with the electors, appointed by each state to form the US Electoral College.

Fact #5 : Democrats Objected To Every GOP President Since 2000

The Atlantic article actually pointed out that some Democrats have objected to the certification of each GOP presidential winner since 2000. But that never stopped those GOP presidential winners from being certified as the President of the United States.

So, the WEF would not actually have to “order” or “instruct” any member of Congress to object to the certification of Donald Trump, if he does actually win the 2024 Presidential election.

Fact #6 : Democrats Will Not Commit Until Supreme Court Affirms Eligibility

The Atlantic article points out that some Democrats are hesitant about certifying a Trump win in 2024, unless the US Supreme Court affirms his eligibility to serve another term as president. After all – the Fourteenth Amendment bars people who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” from holding office.

While Donald Trump has not yet been convicted of fomenting an insurrection, every House Democrat together with 10 Republicans voted to impeach Trump for “incitement of insurrection” in early 2021. So, those members of Congress believe that Donald Trump is an “insurrectionist” who is ineligible to serve as president.

The same article also pointed out that if the Supreme Court affirms his eligibility, the Democrats have said that they would vote for certification if Trump wins.

Eric Swalwell (D-CA) : I’m going to follow the law. I would not object out of protest of how the Supreme Court comes down. It would be doing what I didn’t like about the January 6 Republicans.

Fact #7 : Republicans Also Decline To Commit To Certify

While some Democrats who are refusing to commit to certifying a Trump win in 2024 because they believe that he is guilty of insurrection, top Republicans like Representative Elise Stefanik – the House GOP conference chair, refused to commit to certifying a Joe Biden win, even though he does not face any questions about his eligibility.

Fact #8 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Fake News

The People’s Voice is the current name for NewsPunch, which possibly changed its name because its brand has been so thoroughly discredited after posting numerous shocking but fake stories.

Did Taylor Swift Show Trump Won Flag At 2024 Grammys?!

Leave a reply

Does a viral video really show Taylor Swift holding up a Trump Won, Democrats Cheated! flag at the 2024 Grammy Awards?!

Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Taylor Swift Showed Trump Won Flag At 2024 Grammys!

People are sharing a video on X (formerly Twitter), which appears to show music superstar Taylor Swift holding up a flag that proclaimed Trump Won, Democrats Cheated! while being photographed on the 2024 Grammy Awards red carpet!

The REAL Politically Savvy : Thank you Taylor for the endorsement. 🇺🇸

Silent Silas : Trump won the 2020 election even Taylor Swift knows it. 😎

The Patriot Oasis : ⚠️BREAKING: Taylor Swift holds up “TRUMP WON, DEMOCRATS CHEATED” flag at the #GRAMMYs   

She knows it, and so does the rest of america. Trump is the legitimate president

il Donaldo Trumpo : AWWW… THANK YOU!!!😂😂😂

Freedom : Trump Won, And even Taylor Swift knows it. 🔥🤣🤣

Truth : Taylor Swift Did Not Show Trump Won Flag!

This is yet another example of fake news circulating on X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Viral Video Was Edited

Let me start by pointing out that the viral video was edited, with the addition of the red-coloured “Trump Won, Democrats Cheated!” flag and two hands holding them up.

It may not be obvious to most people, but if you look carefully, you can see several obvious signs of digital manipulation:

The Trump Won flag does not ripple or flutter at all. The folds remains still throughout the video, even when Taylor Swift appears to move the flag.
Taylor Swift’s fingers does not even twitch or move at all, even when she appears to move the flag.
Taylor Swift’s left hand has a white outline – a photo editing (masking) artifact, which is most clearly seen at the end of the video, against the black background.
In the first two seconds of the video, you can see her left hand (in black gloves) appearing just under the flag. Brightening the image shows the right hand (in black gloves) appearing under the flag too.

It is therefore no surprise that the video has been labelled by X (formerly Twitter) as Manipulated media. However, X has apparently made no attempt to remove the obviously edited video from its platform.

Fact #2 : Taylor Swift Did Not Hold Trump Flag At 2024 Grammys

To be clear – Taylor Swift did not hold up, or show, any Trump Won, Democrats Cheated! flag at the 2024 Grammy Awards red carpet.

We know this to be true, because the original video that was posted by Variety on 4 February 2024, shows her standing for photos with her left hand on her waist.

Taylor Swift is gorgeous at the #Grammys. https://t.co/Imoq8xlJM9 pic.twitter.com/ydotYDoXFI

— Variety (@Variety) February 5, 2024

Fact #4 : Taylor Swift Wore Black Evening Gloves

The original Variety video also showed Taylor Swift wearing long, black evening gloves. The edited video, on the other hand, showed naked fingers.

If you use an image editor to brighten the shadows, you can clearly see both of her hands in those black gloves appearing just under the red Trump Won flag.

But you don’t even need to do that – in the first two seconds of the edited video, you can see Taylor Swift’s left hand hold onto the fabric of her white dress.

Fact #4 : Taylor Swift Unlikely To Endorse Donald Trump

While Taylor Swift has yet to endorse any candidate for the upcoming 2024 Presidential election, it is very unlikely that she would ever endorse Donald Trump.

For one thing – Taylor Swift only endorsed Democrats so far. She endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 election, and Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper in the 2018 midterm elections in Tennessee. Her 2018 post, in particular, made it clear her values did not align with those of the GOP.

I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now.

I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.

I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love. Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn.

As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values.

I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway.

So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting! 🗳😃🌈

Joe Biden Caught Receiving Laundered Chinese Money?!

Leave a reply

Was Joe Biden just caught receiving almost a quarter million dollars worth of laundered Chinese money?!

Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Joe Biden Caught Receiving Laundered Chinese Money!

People are sharing videos, articles, etc. that claim or suggest that US President Joe Biden just got caught receiving almost a quarter million dollars worth of laundered Chinese money!

House Oversight Committee : Comer Reveals How Joe Biden Received Laundered China Money

House Oversight Committee : Comer Releases Evidence of Direct Payment to Joe Biden

Russia Today : Biden took $40,000 in ‘laundered Chinese money’ – House Oversight chair

The People’s Voice : Joe Biden Received $40,000 In ‘Laundered Chinese Money’

Still No Evidence Joe Biden Received Chinese Money!

This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created / propagated by Republicans (and useful idiots) of the MAGA persuasion, as well as pro-Russia supporters (vatniks), and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Joe Biden Has Not Been Referred For Impeachment

The Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, James Comer – a Republican from Kentucky, has publicly claimed TWICE that he has evidence of Joe Biden receiving Chinese money.

Yet, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability has not yet referred President Joe Biden for impeachment proceedings, or call for a Special Council to prosecute him. What are they waiting for?

Fact #2 : There Was No Evidence Of Corruption

On both occasions, Comer only provided a scan copy of a personal cheque issued to Joe Biden by his brother, James Biden and James’ wife, Sara Biden, as “evidence” of corruption.

October 20, 2023 Press Release

House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today announced the committee obtained bank records revealing a $200,000 direct payment from James and Sara Biden to Joe Biden in the form of a personal check.

November 1, 2023 Press Release

House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today released a video and bank records memorandum revealing how Joe Biden received $40,000 in laundered China money from the account of his brother, James Biden, and his sister-in-law, Sara Biden, in the form of a personal check.

Neither personal cheques from his brother or his brother’s wife are actual evidence that President Joe Biden received “laundered Chinese money”. They are only evidence that Joe Biden received money from his brother, and his brother’s wife.

If that is the bar for evidence of corruption and/or receiving “laundered Chinese money”, then many of us who received money from our relatives are guilty of corruption and/or receiving laundered foreign money. That sounds stupid? Yes, that’s exactly how stupid the so-called “evidence” against Joe Biden really looks.

Fact #3 : Cheques Were For Personal Loan Repayment

The two cheques clearly stated that they were to pay Joe Biden for a (personal) loan. You know – the kind family members often give out to their brothers or sisters who are in financial trouble. The words “Loan repayment” was even stated clearly in the front of the two cheques.

I should point out that Comer was not able to prove that these were not loan repayment cheques. He only said he would view the $200,000 cheque as “troubling” even if it was for a loan repayment, because it came on the same day James Biden received $200,000 from a struggling health company he did business with.

Wow! Imagine that – it was “troubling” for Comer to see someone receive repayment for a personal loan he made out to his own brother, just because it appears that his brother received the money from a company he did business with.

Fact #4 : Joe Biden Loaned His Brother Money

James Comer also claimed that he did not “believe” that Joe Biden actually loaned his brother money.

When Democratic members of his committee and a lawyer for James Biden said that the committee has documents to prove that Joe Biden did indeed loan $200,000 to James Biden, Comer declared that the Democrats were “lying”, and said that “at the end of the day, there’s no document that shows there was a loan”.

CNN fact checker Daniel Dale revealed on 31 October 2023, that they were able to obtain the same banking records that Comer’s committee received, and they showed that President Joe Biden loaned his brother $200,000 less than two months prior to the James Biden “loan repayment” cheque for the same amount.

The banking records that both CNN and Comer’s committee had access to showed that Joe Biden sent a $200,000 wire transfer to James Biden on January 12, 2018. James Biden then issued the $200,000 loan repayment cheque on March 1, 2018.

The top Democrat on Comer’s committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin, even wrote to rebuke Comer, pointing out that there is “clear evidence that this transaction was a short-term, interest-free loan between brothers“.

[T]he bank records provided to the Committee clearly show that President Biden had $200,000 wired to his brother on January 12, 2018.

Despite this clear evidence that James Biden received a loan from his brother on January 12, 2018, and paid him back 48 days later with a check for the same amount marked ‘loan repayment,’ you continue to misrepresent the facts.”

In short – Comer’s committee appears to have documents showing that there was a loan from Joe Biden to James Biden, so the loan repayment was legitimate, and not actual evidence of corruption or money laundering.

Fact #5 : Joe Biden Was A Private Citizen At That Time

This may seem like a small point, but it is an important one to make. These personal loans and loan repayments between Joe Biden and his brother all occurred in 2017-2018.

At that time, Joe Biden was not President. Heck, he was not even a Presidential candidate – he did not announce his 2020 Presidential bid until April 25, 2019.

In other words – there is simply no question of Joe Biden abusing the power of his office (he had none at that time) to enrich himself with foreign money.
