Is Kamala Harris Not Eligible To Become US President?!

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.

Fact #4 : This Is Fake News About 2024 Presidential Election

This is yet another example of fake news and videos created to influence the 2024 US Presidential Election, and here are some other examples:

Is Chinese President Xi Jinping in critical condition after suffering a massive stroke?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Xi Jinping In Critical Condition After Massive Stroke!

Some people are claiming or suggesting that Chinese President Xi Jinping may be in critical condition after suffering a massive stroke!

US Civil Defense News : 🚨Update: President of China Xi Jinping reportedly suffered a stroke, According to reporter Jennifer Zhang!

US Civil Defense News : 🚨Update: Chinese dictator Xi in critical condition following a brain stroke.

Frank Valchiria : RUMORS SPREADING: Chinese President, Xi Jinping appears to have suffered a stroke during a meeting of the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee. Chinese social media claim he collapsed in pain before helped out of the chamber by staff.

Mario Nawfal : 🚨 UNCONFIRMED — XI JINPING REPORTEDLY SUFFERS STROKE

Social media in China is abuzz with news that President Xi suffered a stroke during a CCP meeting.

Although there is no official confirmation yet, the viral news has caused significant unrest.

Sources: Local Media

Brian Allen : CHINESE 🇨🇳- President Xi may have suffered a stroke based on unconfirmed local reports.

Show less

Truth : Xi Jinping Did Not Suffer Massive Stroke!

This is yet another example of fake news circulating on social media, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Claim Was Based On Unverified Posts

Let me start by pointing out that these claims appear to be based on unverified reporting (archive) by Jennifer Zeng on 16 July 2024:

Xi Jinping just had a stroke at CCP’s Third Plenary Session? Since yesterday, Chinese social media has been buzzing with the news that something ‘big’ has happened.

Incredibly, it appears that she based her reporting on an anonymous post that does not even mention Xi Jinping, although she seems to believe it refers to the Chinese president…

It is said that my second uncle had a stroke during the group’s shareholders’ meeting, and the backbone of the group is in chaos. After learning this, some people cheered and told me this good news.

Those who are a bit awakened hope that he will die sooner. But those who are fully awakened hope that he can get up and continue to take charge of the group’s business.

I belong to the latter. I hope my uncle can continue to run the group because his mission is not yet completed. At least he should live until he drives all the stakeholders and those who were brainwashed into buying its stocks to their deaths.

Otherwise, it is not fair for us who are fully awakened. Keep up the good work, my dear Second Uncle. I’m behind you!

Is Chinese President Xi Jinping the “second uncle” mentioned in this anonymous post – one of the millions posted on Chinese social media? Who knows???

Her strongest evidence was a YouTube video by Chinese writer Su Xiaohe, who allegedly said:

Xi Jinping suddenly suffered a stroke at the scene of the Third Plenary Session of the CCP. His entire face was distorted, and he was rushed to the hospital.

However, Su Xiaohe does not appear to offer any evidence to back up his claims, and there has been no independent corroboration that Xi Jinping suffered a stroke during the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CCP Central Committee.

Was he at the Third Plenary Session? I highly doubt it as he is not listed as a member of the 20th Central Committee of the Chinese Committee Party. So how did he come by such shocking news that even China experts appear to be unaware of?

It should also be noted that Jennifer Zeng (曾錚) is a Falun Gong practitioner and writer who fled China, and has “a track record of spreading rumours and unverified videos” according to MIT Technology Review. You may recall that Jennifer Zeng once suggested that Xi Jinping was arrested in a military coup, which turned out to be false…

https://www.techarp.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Xi-Jinping-stroke-third-plenary-session-video.mp4?_=1

Fact #2 : Xi Jinping Did Not Suffer Any Stroke

If Chinese President Xi Jinping suffered a stroke, it would have disrupted the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. After all – he’s presiding over the session, and with political power centralised in him (like a Chinese emperor?), it would have been impossible for the Third Plenary Session to continue if he is incapacitated.

If Xi Jinping suffered a stroke, he would certainly have been rushed to a nearby hospital by ambulance – an event that would be publicly seen, and even recorded, by people working at the event, or hospital. Word of mouth, and surreptitious photos or videos, would be impossible to stop, even if Chinese censors erase all mention on social media.

While Chinese state media may be muzzled from immediately reporting on such a shocking event, they can only delay so long. After all, the entire event is being recorded, and Chinese state media are expected to post videos of it in the past, like this CCTV video of the Third Plenary Session of the 19th CCP Central Committee from 6 years ago.

It also does not benefit the Chinese Communist Party to conceal Xi Jinping’s stroke, if it’s bad enough to incapacitate or even kill him. Sure, it is expected to keep a lid on such an unfortunate event, but only long enough to select a replacement that its cadres can back.

The Third Plenary Session is also being closely watched across the world. If Xi Jinping has been incapacitated by a stroke, it would have spurred a flurry of activity outside of China, as intelligence agencies and world leaders scramble to determine who might replace Xi Jinping, what this could mean for relations with China, and what they should do. Yet, there was no uptick in concern over Xi Jinping’s health inside and outside of China, except for these unverified rumours.

In any case, the Third Plenum ended on Thursday, 18 July 2024, and the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued a communique, in which it stated that “Xi Jinping delivered important addresses”, as well as “explanatory remarks on the draft version of the Resolution” to “Advance Chinese Modernisation”.

The communique ended with a call for the whole CCP, the Chinese military, and the Chinese people to “stay closely rallied around the Party… with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core”. Obviously, that can only happen if Xi Jinping isn’t incapacitated or dead from a stroke.

The Chinese Communist Party also issued this photo of Chinese President Xi Jinping walking to attend the Third Plenum.

Fact #3 : Viral Photos Were From March 2024

I should also point out that the viral photos of Xi Jinping wincing are not new. They were taken on 11 March 2024 – more than 4 months earlier.

During the closing meeting of the second session of the 14th National People’s Congress (NPC), the Chinese president appeared to wince after taking a sip from his teacup, as if he just took a gulp of hot tea before letting it cool down.

No one seemed to notice his wince, but it was caught on video. While the CCP has not stated why Xi Jinping made that face, he did not suffer any ill effects, and was seen standing to give a round of applause.

Fact #4 : This Is Likely Fake News

Without any corroborating evidence, this is likely more fake news about Chinese President Xi Jinping, like these examples I fact checked earlier:

Is Iranian President Alive After Surviving Helicopter Crash?!

Is Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi alive after surviving the helicopter crash?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Iranian President Is Alive After Surviving Crash!

Within hours of news breaking that the helicopter carrying Ebrahim Raisi and other officials crashed, people started sharing a photo while claiming that the Iranian President is alive, after surviving the helicopter crash!

Aussie Cossack (deleted) : Iran’s President survived the helicopter crash and is en router to Tabriz in the Presidential motorcade

Mario Nawfal : 🚨🇮🇷BREAKING: IRANIAN PRESIDENT AND FM CONTINUE TO TABRIZ BY CAR AFTER EMERGENCY LANDING

The President’s convoy continued to Tabriz, Iran, by land.

The Mi-171 helicopter carrying Iranian President Raisi and Foreign Minister Abdolahian landed hard in East Azerbaijan due to foggy weather.

East Azerbaijan Governor Ayatollah Al-Hashem and other officials were also on board.

Truth : Iranian President Confirmed Dead After Helicopter Crash!

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

Fact #1 : Ebrahim Raisi Was Confirmed Dead

On Sunday, 19 May 2024, the President of Iran Ebrahim Raisi arrived at the northern border between Iran and Azerbaijan, to inaugurate the Gir Galasi hydroelectric dam with the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev. After that inauguration, the Iranian delegation left in a convoy of three helicopters to Tabriz.

At approximately 1:30 PM local time, the helicopter carrying the Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Governor of East Azerbaijan Malek Rahmati, and Supreme Leader Representative in East Azerbaijan Mohammad Ali Ale-Hashem, crashed shortly after some passengers made an emergency call.

The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) described the crash as a “hard landing”. Even at 10:30 AM (GMT+8) on Monday 20, it was unknown if anyone was injured or killed in that crash.

An Iranian official told Reuters that rescuers were still struggling to reach the crash site, and that the lives of Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian were “at risk following the helicopter crash”.

At approximately 12:30 PM (GMT+8) on 20 May, Iranian state TV confirmed that President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and several others were killed in the helicopter crash.

Fact #2 : Viral Photo Taken In July 2022, Not May 2024

The photo being shared as “evidence” that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi survived the helicopter crash was actually taken at Firuzkuh, Tehran on 30 July 2022 – almost 2 years ago!

That handout photo was taken and provided by the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS), and shows Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi visiting Firuzkuh after floods.

Fact #3 : Crashed Helicopter Was Bell 212, Not Mi-17

In addition, the helicopter that crashed was a US-made Bell 212 helicopter with a blue and white colour scheme.

It is a completely different helicopter from the Mi-17 seen in the July 2022 photo, which has a red and white colour scheme, and the logo of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS).

Here is a comparison of the 2022 photo being used to mislead people, and an actual photo taken of the Bell 212 helicopter that carried Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi.

Did Netanyahu Announce $5 Billion Gaza Settlement Plan?!

Leave a reply

Did Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just announce a $5 billion plan to build new settlements in the Gaza Strip?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Netanyahu Announces $5 Billion Gaza Settlement Plan!

People are sharing a video on social media, claiming or suggesting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just announced a $5 billion to build new settlements in the Gaza Strip!

Syrian Girl : ‼️Netanyahu promises billions to rebuild illegal Jewish settlements in #Gaza over the bodies of the Palestinian children. His friend Jared Kushner said Gaza is good real estate (leubenstraum).

Mario Nawfal : 🚨🇮🇱 NETANYAHU’S $5B GAZA SETTLEMENT PLAN

Netanyahu announced a $5 billion investment plan to build settlements in Gaza’s Envelope.

This initiative is supported by Germany and UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

“We will invest in housing, infrastructure, education, employment, medicine, and more.”

Critics view it as an act of occupation and genocide against Palestinians, while supporters argue it is essential for Israel’s security.

Truth : Netanyahu Did Not Announce $5 Billion Gaza Settlement Plan!

This appears to be yet another example of fake news circulating online, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Netanyahu Did Not Announce $5 Billion Gaza Settlement Plan!

Let me start by pointing out that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not announce any $5 billion plan to build new settlements in the Gaza Strip.

On Wednesday, April 17, 2024, Netanyahu announced a five-year, 19-billion-shekel ($5 billion) plan to rebuild and strengthen communities near the Gaza border after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants.

The Tekuma Plan, as it’s called, does not involve the Gaza Strip. The money would only go towards towns in the Western Negev, bordering the Gaza Strip.

Fact #2 : Video Was Incorrectly Translated

The viral video had user-added subtitles, that appear to be incorrectly (perhaps intentionally?) translated.

The correct translation is available through the official transcript on the official Israeli government website (archive):

I have just come from meeting with the British and German foreign ministers. Last night, I spoke with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, and soon I will speak with additional leaders.

I thank our friends for their support in defense of Israel and I say this – support in both words and deeds. They also have all kinds of suggestions and advice, which I appreciate; however, I would also like to clarify – we will make our decisions ourselves. The State of Israel will do whatever is necessary to defend itself.

Today, the Government will approve the Tekuma Plan to rebuild the communities in the Western Negev. We will invest the very large sum of NIS 19 billion in order to move the communities of the Western Negev forward for generations. We will invest in housing, infrastructure, education, employment, health and more.

The Hamas terrorists sought to uproot us. We will uproot them and deepen our roots. We will build the Land of Israel and safeguard our state.

As you can see, Benjamin Netanyahu never mentioned the Gaza Strip, when he announced the Tekuma Plan. He only referred to the “communities in the Western Negev”, which covers the border towns near the Gaza Strip, but not the Gaza Strip itself.

Fact #3 : Israel Is Building New Settlements In East Jerusalem

While Israel has not made any plans to build new settlements in the Gaza Strip, The Guardian just reported that the Israeli government has accelerated the construction of new settlements in East Jerusalem:

Israel’s government has accelerated the construction of settlements across East Jerusalem, with more than 20 projects totalling thousands of housing units having been approved or advanced since the start of the war in Gaza six months ago, planning documents show.

Ministries and offices within the Israeli government are behind all the largest and most contentious of the projects, sometimes in association with rightwing nationalist groups with a history of trying to evict Palestinians from their homes in parts of the city.

The rapid approval or construction of settlements that are illegal under international law is likely to further damage Israel’s relationship with the Biden administration.

Instead of pushing false narratives about the Takuma Plan, perhaps it would be more fruitful for Palestinian supporters to question and criticise Israel’s building of new settlements in East Jerusalem.

No Evidence Royal Family Will Make A Major Announcement Soon!

This appears to be another example of fake news circulating on social media platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Royal Family Never Said There Will Be Major Announcement Soon

Let me start by simply pointing out that the British Royal Family has not said anything about a major announcement soon.

There was no announcement on its official website, or its official Instagram page, or any official sources.

There may, or may not be, a major announcement soon, but the British Royal Family has not said anything. It certainly did tell people to watch out for an impending major announcement!

Fact #2 : Royal Experts Never Said Anything Either

Not even the usual royal experts / commentators have said that the Royal Family is about to make a major announcement.

They would never have kept quiet about such a juicy gossip. Yet none of them confirmed that any major announcement was forthcoming from the Royal Family.

Fact #3 : No One Offered Any Evidence

None of those who claimed that the British Royal Family “said there will be a Major Announcement” soon, or at any moment, actually provided any evidence to back up their claims.

That’s because it didn’t happen. Even those who should known better did not appear to have done any basic verification, before posting it on their social media accounts.

Or perhaps, they were merely interested in trolling or gaslighting people for traffic and engagement, because that’s what makes money!

Did Trump warn it’ll be a ‘Bloodbath’ if he’s not elected?!

Leave a reply

Did Donald Trump warn that it will be a ‘bloodbath’ if he’s not elected as President?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Media Lied That Trump Warned Of ‘Bloodbath’ If Not Elected!

Some people are claiming that the mainstream media lied about Donald Trump warning of a ‘bloodbath’ if he is not elected in the 2024 US Presidential elections!

Elon Musk : Legacy media lies

Ian Miles Cheong : The media is lying about Donald Trump with this narrative about a “bloodbath” if he loses the election. He was very clearly talking about the car manufacturing industry—before and after he used the word.

You have to be extremely disingenuous to take what he’s saying out of context, and that’s exactly what the media is doing. They’re all running with the same lie.

Mario Nawfal : 🇺🇸THE WHOLE BLOODY TRUTH – THE FULL TRANSCRIPT OF TRUMP’S “BLOODBATH” COMMENT

“Mexico has taken over a period of 30 years 34% of the automobile manufacturing business in our country. Think of it. Went to Mexico. China now is building a couple of massive plants, where they’re going to build the cars in Mexico and think, they think, that they’re going to sell those cars into the United States with no tax at the border.

Let me tell you something to China. If you’re listening President Xi and you and I are friends but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now. And you think you’re going to get that, you’re going to not hire Americans and you’re going to sell the cars to us no. We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those guys if I get elected.

Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole. That’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it, but they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories.”

Show less

Truth : Trump Did Warn Of ‘Bloodbath’ If Not Elected!

This appears to be another example of misinformation circulating on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Donald Trump Warned Of ‘Bloodbath’ If Not Elected

Let me start by pointing out that former President Donald Trump did indeed warn of a ‘bloodbath’ if he is not elected in the 2024 US Presidential elections.

He made those comments at a campaign rally in Dayton, Ohio, on 16 March 2024. Here is the transcript of his speech:

Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole – that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories.

So yes, Donald Trump did indeed warn or say that “it’s going to be a bloodbath for the country” if he doesn’t “get elected“.

Fact #2 : Donald Trump ‘Bloodbath’ Warning Was About Car Industry

That said, it is important to note that Donald Trump’s ‘bloodbath’ warning referred to the automotive industry, because it came after his comments on the car manufacturing plants China is building in Mexico:

To be clear – Donald Trump was warning of an economic bloodbath, and not a literal, violent bloodbath.

Fact #3 : Mainstream Media Did Not Misrepresent ‘Bloodbath’ Comments

Donald Trump is known for making inflammatory comments, so it is easy to see how people may believe that he was actually referring to a violent ‘bloodbath’. However, did the mainstream media really misrepresent his ‘bloodbath’ comments as suggested or claimed?

Not quite. Major media outlets, and even some political outlets, made it clear in their titles that Trump was referring to a bloodbath for the auto industry:

CNN : Trump warns of ‘bloodbath’ for auto industry and country if he loses the election

ABC News : Trump, while addressing auto industry, says there will be ‘bloodbath’ if he loses 2024 election, ramps up anti-migrant rhetoric

Daily Express UK : Donald Trump warns of ‘bloodbath’ for US auto industry if he is not re-elected

The Daily Beast : Trump Declares It Will Be a ‘Bloodbath’ for Auto Industry if He’s Not Elected

While other media outlets did not refer to the auto industry in their titles, they were clear in their articles that Donald Trump was referring to the automotive industry.

New York Times : Trump Says Some Migrants Are ‘Not People’ and Predicts a ‘Blood Bath’ if He Loses

While discussing the U.S. economy and its auto industry, Mr. Trump promised to place tariffs on cars manufactured abroad if he won in November. He added: “Now, if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a blood bath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a blood bath for the country.”

The Guardian : Trump predicts ‘bloodbath’ if he loses election and claims ‘Biden beat Obama’

The US, Trump insisted during comments about the auto workers and the car industry, was headed for “a bloodbath” if he was rejected again at the polls in favor of Biden.

It is very likely that those who have been complaining that the mainstream media was representing Trump’s ‘bloodbath’ comments did not actually read the articles.

Fact #4 : Trump Warned There Won’t Be Another Election

To be fair to those who think that Donald Trump was inciting violence again, he did suggest later that American will never have another election if he is not elected in 2024.

I don’t think you’re going to have another election in this country, if we don’t win this election … certainly not an election that’s meaningful.

While Trump appears to quickly backtrack on his remarks, his supporters and fans may not realise it, and may be incited to secure his election victory by hook or by crook.
