Did British women divers refuse to hug the Chinese gold medalists at the 2024 Paris Olympics?! Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : British women divers refused to hug Chinese gold medalists!
People are sharing a video which apparently shows British women divers refusing to hug their Chinese rivals who just won the gold medal. Instead, they walked past them to hug the North Korean women who just won the silver medal.
Sohu (translated) : The British team deliberately bypassed the Chinese diving team and only hugged the North Korean team. Who noticed Quan Hongchan’s reaction?
So when Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi finished the game first, they stood firmly in the first place.Ranked second is a pair of North Korean combinations.And ranked third is the British combination.The British combination won the bronze medal by a narrow margin over the Canadian combination with the last jump.
After confirming the bronze medal, the British combination celebrated wildly.After that, the British combination’s behavior was unexpected. They ran to hug the runner-up North Korean combination, but did not hug the Chinese combination Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi.
You know, the Chinese team was standing in the middle at the time. The British team went to hug the North Korean team and needed to pass by the Chinese team, but they did not choose to hug the Chinese team, but bypassed us. It was obviously intentional.
On WhatsApp : The British women divers got bronze medal, went past the Chinese gold medal winners n congratulated the North Korean divers without acknowledging the Chinese, racism at its best
LaiTimes : Laugh out to tears! The United Kingdom team ignored Quan Hongchan Chen Yuxi and hugged the North Korean team members, and the comment area couldn’t laugh
At the end of the game, when the top three winners of the competition were at the end of the race, there was a ridiculous incident.
The video shows that Quan Hongchan stared at the third-place athlete walking past her and hugging the second athlete, Quan Mei’s expression was confused at the time, so cute, and then she dragged Chen Yuxi next to her with her hand, whispering, Chen Yuxi also felt very embarrassed, the flip-flops on her feet were in the holes, and she lowered her head and held back a smile.
雁过留声 : It has been proven that standing at a high position is lonely. When you are isolated by others, don’t think it’s your fault; it’s just that others are envious of what they cannot reach. Live your own wonderful life. If you don’t feel lonely, then it is others who are lonely. If you are not embarrassed, then it is others who are embarrassed.
Truth : British women divers did not refuse to hug Chinese gold medalists!
This is yet another example of fake news about the Olympic Games, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : British + Chinese women divers were waiting
This video was actually recorded at the end of the women’s synchronised 10m platform diving event, which is why they were all still in their (wet) swimsuits.
The Chinese and British women divers had already finished their synchronised dives earlier, and were waiting at the side for the North Korean women to finish. Any congratulations (or hugs) between the British and Chinese women would have happened before the North Korean women dived.
Fact #2 : There is no animosity between British + Chinese women divers
Unfortunately, I was unable to locate the full, unedited video, so I cannot “prove” that the British women divers did not “diss” the Chinese women divers.
However, I can prove that there is no animosity between the British and Chinese women divers. In fact, Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix and Quan Hongchan have a history of hugging each other!
It appears that, being petite, Quan Hongchan enjoys hugging people, and being carried like that. That could explain why she had her partner, Chen Yuxi, hug her the same way in that viral video. In fact, Chen Yuxi actually continued hugging her and carrying her out of the pool area!
After the North Korean women finished their dives, the results were announced – they won the silver medal – their country’s first diving medal ever.
That was why the British women went over to hug them. It was a historic moment.
On the other hand, the Chinese pair of Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan were strong favourites to win the gold. After all, Chen Yuxi won the gold medal with Zhang Jiaqi in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Is Algerian boxer Imane Khelif a transgender woman who was really born male?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Imane Khelif is a transgender woman!
Some people are claiming or suggesting that Algerian boxer Imane Khelif is a transgender woman who was really born male!
J.K. Rowling : Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who’s knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered. #Paris2024ated was discovered, and then a rocket attack was launched from the drone.
Donald Trump (courtesy off Acyn) :This young girl from Italy.. she got hit so hard she did not know what hit her. It’s a person who transitioned. He was a good male boxer.
Riley Gaines :As if the Satanic display at the opening ceremony wasnt enough, the Olympics glorifies men punching women in the face with the intent of knocking them unconscious.
Imane Khelif is 1 of 2 male boxers fighting women at the Olympics. A woman is going to die.
Libs of TikTok : Meet Imane Khelif, a boxer who was banned from the Women’s World Box Championships in 2023 because he is a man.
However, Khelif is being allowed to compete in women’s Olympic boxing in Paris. Just another reason to boycott the Olympics.
Megyn Kelly : It happened AGAIN. Biological males are being allowed in women’s sport – in BOXING at the Olympics – & it is grossly unfair and unsafe.
The athletes in question (from Algeria and Taiwan) are MALE. They have XY chromosomes. No uterus. Male testes. Male puberty. Male testosterone, muscle and bone growth and advantage. They were banned from the world championships last year bc they are male. Just bc their passports say female or they were raised as female does not make it so.
The IOC is responsible for endangering their female opponents and the rest of us are complicit if we remain silent.
Truth : Imane Khelif was born female, and is not transgender!
This is yet another example of fake news circulating on social media, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Imane Khelif is not transgender
Let me start by simply pointing out that Imane Khelif is a woman, and is not transgender. Neither does she identify as intersex.
Khelif reportedly has a variation in her sex traits, also known as differences of sexual development (DSDs). People with DSDs have genitalia, reproductive organs, and sexual characteristics that are “mismatched” with their genetics.
For example, someone with DSD may have male XY chromosomes, but have female characteristics, and even female genitals. On the other hand, a person with DSD may be born with female XX chromosomes and a penis.
Regardless of whether Imane Khelif should be considered male or female for the purpose of any competition, she is most definitely not a transgender woman, which is defined as someone who was born male, but transitions into a woman later in life. That is certainly not the case with Khelif.
As Mark Adams, chief spokesperson for the IOC said on Friday, August 2, “This is not a transgender case. There has been some confusion that somehow it’s a man fighting a woman. This is just not the case, scientifically.”
Mark Adams also pointed out that Imane Khelif was born female, was registered as a female, and lived her life as a female:
The Algerian boxer was born female, was registered female, lived her life as a female, boxed as a female, has a female passport.
The question you have to ask yourself is, are these athletes women? The answer is yes, according to their eligibility, their passport, their history.
In fact, her childhood photos show that Imane Khelif was brought up as female.
I should also point out that none of those who accused her of being born male (and not a female with differences of sexual development), ever provided any evidence.
Fact #3 : Imane Khelif was tested + competed as a woman for many years
This controversy erupted during the 2024 Paris Olympics when Italy’s Angela Carini stopped fighting against Imane Khelif after 46 seconds on Thursday, 1 August 2024. Carini told reporters after the match that, “a punch hurt too much, and so I said enough“.
That ignited a firestorm of accusations of bias, as well as misinformation, over Khelif’s eligibility to compete as a woman, together with Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting, because they were both disqualified from the International Boxing Association’s 2023 world championships because they allegedly have XY chromosomes.
However, both Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting were tested and have competed as women for many years, as the International Olympic Committee pointed out in its statement. To date, the IBA has not released the 2022 or 2023 test results.
Taiwanese boxer Lin Yu-ting, who was also suddenly disqualified in 2023 IBA World Championships
Fact #4 : Imane Khelif won silver in 2022 IBA World Championships
In fact, Khelif actually won the silver medal in the 2022 IBA World Championships, after undergoing tests and meeting its eligibility requirements
On top of that, both Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting were allowed to compete in the 2023 IBA World Championships, after the IBA chose not to disqualify them in 2022 based on the same results (source: IBA minutes).
Mr. Yerolimpos confirmed that similar testing was conducted by a different independent laboratory with the same athletes at the previous edition of the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in Istanbul, Turkey in 2022. However, the results were received only upon conclusion of the event, hence the athletes were not disqualified back then.
Even though the IBA had apparently decided that the 2022 test results should disqualify Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting, they were both allowed to participate in the 2023 world championships. They were not disqualified until Khelif defeated Azalia Amineva – a previous unbeaten Russian boxer.
According to IBA’s own minutes, the decision to disqualify Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting was initially taken solely by the IBA Secretary General and CEO, with the board only ratifying it after the fact.
Fact #5 : Angela Carini apologised to Imane Khelif
Many people have claimed or suggested that Angela Carini was upset at fighting a biological male, because she ignored Imane Khelif’s attempt to shake her hand at the end of the match. That’s not true, as she explained.
Carini told Italian media on Friday, 2 August, that she would like to apologise to Imane Khelif for not shaking her hand after the match, and give her a hug. She also said the controversy made her sad.
All the controversy made me sad and I’m sorry for my opponent too. It’s nothing to do with her. She was here like me to fight. It wasn’t on purpose, and I apologise to her and everyone.
I was angry because my Olympics had just gone up in smoke but I’ve nothing against Imane Khelif. On the contrary, if I saw her again, I’d give her a hug.
If Angela Carini herself is not upset at losing to Imane Khelif, why should anyone else be upset “on her behalf”?

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.”
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.

Did Michelle Obama attend Satanic sex parties as a man?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Michelle Obama Attended Sex Parties As A Man!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claimed that former First Lady Michelle Obama attended sex parties as a “hung” man!
Here is an excerpt of the long and (intentionally?) confusing article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
The dark truth about Michelle Obama has been hiding in plain sight for years now.
Michelle’s high school boyfriend has confirmed she is in fact a biological male, and child rape victims are coming forward to testify they were raped by the former first lady – when she was a man.
Michelle Obama’s ex-boyfriend David Upchurch has come forward to reveal that “she” is actually a man named Michael Robinson and only became “Michelle” after meeting Barack Obama and having prospects of becoming First Lady.
According to Upchurch, who dated Michelle Obama during high school, Barack Obama is a “lucky man” having a partner as “talented and versatile” as the former Michael. He also revealed that Michael is hung like a horse.
Which makes the growing number of accusations against Michelle from numerous child rape victims even more disturbing.
A child sex victim has blown the whistle on Michelle Obama and testified that she raped her, when Michelle was a man. Ally Carter is right when she says everybody in the establishment is complicit.
Truth : Michelle Obama Did Not Attend Sex Parties As A Man!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : David Upchurch Never Said Michelle Obama Was A Man!
Let me start by pointing out that David Upchurch never said that Michelle Obama was a man!
David Upchurch only referred to Michelle Obama as “she”, “her”, and “Michelle”, and never claimed she was a man called Michael Robinson.
I grew up with Michelle and her brother Craig. We were neighbours, and our families were close.
When Michelle was in the middle of her junior year, we began dating and continued to date for a year-and-a-half.
I wished the best for Michelle because she has always been a wonderful person. I always knew Michelle was special and would make a difference in the world.
I cannot tell you how proud I am of her and her husband. I have never met Barack, but I have to say, he is a very lucky man.
Why would anyone claim that he ever said that Michelle Obama was really a man called Michael Robinson???
Fact #2 : None Of Ally Carter’s Claims Were Ever Proven True
These bizarre claims by a woman called Ally Carter isn’t new, having originated in 2020 when she posted on Instagram that Barack Obama and Joe Biden raped her.
She claimed to have been trafficked in underground tunnels that run under schools, cemeteries, and Universal Studios to elites living in Hollywood, the Buckingham Palace, and the Getty Museum since she was thirteen years old.
Despite these claims surfacing many years ago, Ally Carter never provided any evidence that:
she was sold to Joe Biden multiple times, or
there are millions of sex abuse victims like her, or
some sex abuse victims had their limbs cut off so they cannot fight back against the abuse, or
some abusers drained their victims’ blood to use as a fountain of youth, or
CPS (Child Protective Services) buys, sells, and trades children
Needless to say, The People’s Voice article provided zero evidence to back up those claims.
Claims that Michelle Obama was born a man is not only false, it’s ridiculous because she gave birth to two girls – Malia Obama and Sasha Obama.
In November 2018, Michelle Obama even opened up about her experience with infertility, revealing that she suffered a miscarriage early in their marriage. Eventually she and former President Barack Obama resorted to in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) to conceive Malia and Sasha.
For those who are wondering – transgender women cannot give birth, or suffer miscarriages, as they were born men, and lack both ovaries and uterus. And no, Malia and Sasha Obama were not adopted!
Fact #4 : Michelle Obama Was Female All Her Life
Even if you ignore the fact that she gave birth to two girls, Michelle Obama grew up as a female. Her family and friends only knew her as a girl and then, a woman. Never as a boy or a man who later became transgender.
Michelle Obama sometimes shares photos of her childhood on her Instagram account. They are all proof that she grew up as a girl, never as a boy. On the other hand, all these claims that she was born a boy called Michael Robinson has never been backed by any evidence.

Fact #5 : 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 never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

David Upchurch, Michelle Obama’s former boyfriend, has come out to disclose that “she” is actually a guy named Michael Robinson and that she only took on the name “Michelle” after meeting Barack Obama and realizing she would become the First Lady.
Michelle Obama’s high school boyfriend, Upchurch, claims that Barack Obama is a “lucky man” to have a companion as “talented and versatile” as the former Michael.
Truth : David Upchurch Never Said Michelle Obama Was A Man!
This is yet another example of fake news circulating on X (formerly Twitter), and here are the reasons why!
Fact #1 : David Upchurch Never Said Michelle Obama Was A Man!
Let me start by pointing out that David Upchurch never said that Michelle Obama was a man!
If that actually happened, it would have been reported by the media, and celebrity blogs, all over the world! Obviously, that did not happen, because David Upchurch never made such a ridiculous claim.
Unsurprisingly – none of those who made the ridiculous claim actually provided any evidence David Upchurch ever said that Michelle Obama was really born a man called Michael Robinson!
Fact #2 : David Upchurch Only Referred To Michell Obama As Female
In March 2009, David Upchurch told The Daily Mail about being Michelle Obama’s first love, and escorting her to prom.
He was not only her neighbour, he attended the same Whitney M Young High School in Chicago, Illinois, and had been going out with Michelle Robinson (her maiden name) for almost 1.5 years before taking her to prom.
I grew up with Michelle and her brother Craig. We were neighbours, and our families were close.
When Michelle was in the middle of her junior year, we began dating and continued to date for a year-and-a-half.
David Upchurch only referred to Michelle Obama as “she”, “her”, and “Michelle”, and never claimed she was a man called Michael Robinson.
I wished the best for Michelle because she has always been a wonderful person. I always knew Michelle was special and would make a difference in the world.

Did Abby and Brittany Hensel just reveal their sex life as conjoined twins?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Abby + Brittany Hensel Reveal Sex Life As Siamese Twins!
People are sharing a screenshot which appears to show Abby and Brittany Hensel revealing details of their sex life as conjoined twins on X (formerly Twitter).
Because everyone is asking we’re just gonna tell you.
– Yes I have sex with my husband – Yes I go down on him
– Yes my sister Brittany is there
– Yes my sister and I orgasm as one, but when I sleep with my husband she’s usually reading a book or listening to a true crime podcast so she just puts the pleasure out of her mind.
This screenshot has gone viral on X, Instagram, and TikTok, with many people making snide remarks:
Just Posting Ls : How’s your sister feel about balls being dragged across her face while she’s reading?
Royally Sage : If she is orgasming, how does she put the that out of her mind? This just made me have more questions. Like what is going to happen to when it is her time to get married and will she be blocked by the married sister in dating?
Noctis Draven : Shamefully I really did think about this. Also, if one sister kills someone do both get charged with murder? If the other twin gets married how does that work? Do the two guys just share the one private area? What if the unmarried sister has relations with another man, a boyfriend, is it considered cheating for the married sister? I mean these questions seem insensitive but deep down I know we all wonder this…
AlphaFo𝕏 : I have more questions than answers now..!
Truth : Abby + Brittany Hensel Did Not Reveal Sex Life As Siamese Twins!
This appears to be yet another example of fake news circulating on social media, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Abby + Brittany Hensel Do Not Have X Account
Let me start by simply pointing out that Abby and Brittany Hensel do not have an account on X (formerly known as Twitter).
The @2headsarebetter account on X does not belong to the twin sisters, but rather, Nick Burroughs, who lives in the United Kingdom, and is the Managing Director of PMD Limited.
If they created an account on X, they wouldn’t name it Brittany and Abby Hensel either. In their previous social media accounts, they have always referred to themselves alphabetically – Abby and Brittany Hensel.
Fact #2 : Abby + Brittany Hensel Are Only Active On TikTok
Abby and Brittany Hensel used to be active on Instagram, but appeared to have stopped posting since 11 August 2015.
The twin sisters appear to be only active on TikTok, where they have over 273,000 followers as of 2 April 2024.
Fact #3 : Abby + Brittany Hensel Screenshot Is Fake
The viral screenshot purportedly posted by Abby and Brittany Hensel is fake. The sisters never posted those comments on X, or anywhere else for the matter.
Unsurprisingly, none of those who posted the screenshot ever provided any link to the actual X post, or an archive.
Fact #4 : Abby + Brittany Hensel Only Spoke Out Against Haters
The sisters have been very quiet about their private lives. Abby Hensel actually tied the knot with Josh Bowling, a nurse and army veteran in 2021. But the sisters only revealed it in July 2023. So why would they be so open about their sex life out of the blue?
More importantly, Abby and Brittany Hensel addressed the hatred they received after their wedding announcement:
This is a message to all the haters out there. If you don’t like what I do, but you watch everything I’m doing, you’re still a fan.
Sassy!
Fact #5 : They Were Posted On April 1
I should also point out that the screenshot and comments were posted on 1 April 2024 – April Fool’s Day.
It is highly likely that they were posted as satire, or to troll people on April Fool’s Day for engagement (and $$$).
Unfortunately, it is also very likely that the screenshot will continue to be shared for a long time after this, by people who don’t know better, or those just want to troll for engagement (and money).

The Kennedy family openly snubbed RFK Jr. when it posted a St. Patrick’s Day photo with President Joe Biden at the White House!
Kennedy family snubs RFK Jr. in St. Patrick’s Day photo with Biden!
The Kennedy family has largely been against the independent bid for the US Presidency by their infamous family member, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which is also known as RFK Jr.
Several members of the family have openly spoken out against his candidacy, and his anti-vaccine views, calling them “dangerous”. To make it clear that the Kennedy family supports Joe Biden in his bid to be re-elected for a second term, almost the entire Kennedy family joined the president for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration at the White House on Sunday, 17 March 2024.
In an open snub to her own brother – RFK Jr., Kerry Kennedy posted a photo showing dozens of the Kennedy family taking a photo with Joe Biden, with this message.
“It’s not enough to wish the world were better, you must make the world better”
@POTUSPresident Biden, you make the world better. Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️
The photo featured former Rhode Island congressman Patrick J. Kennedy, Ambassador Caroline Kennedy, Biden’s special envoy to Northern Ireland Joe Kennedy III, as well as Kennedy family members of all ages… except RFK Jr. himself.
Other members of the family then reshared the photo on their social media accounts, making it clear that they support Joe Biden, and not their infamous family member – RFK Jr.
Patrick Kennedy even tweeted additional photos, writing:
What an honor to spend St. Patrick’s Day afternoon at the @WhiteHouse with friends, family, and world leaders @POTUS , His Excellency @LeoVaradkar and many cousins – Smiths, Shrivers, and Kennedys! We are blessed.”

Joe Biden himself retweeted Kerry Kennedy’s post, with the reply, “From one proud Irish family to another — it was good to have you all back at the White House.”
From one proud Irish family to another — it was good to have you all back at the White House. https://t.co/x62TsIYWVu
In the second of a one-two punch against RFK Jr., Maria Shriver – another member of the Kennedy family, joined President Joe Biden the next day for his signing of a new executive order to spend $$12 billion to improve research on women’s issues like reproductive challenges and conditions like menopause.
At that White House event which was also attended by First Lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, Maria Shriver called the executive order historic, and praised Biden profusely for his commitment to women’s health in an obvious snub of RFK Jr., and joked:
I’ll bet today that this is the first time a president of the United States has ever signed an executive order that mentions the words ‘menopause’ and ‘women’s mid-life health!’
Shriver even threw a veiled jab at former President Donald Trump, when she said:
This is an undertaking that could only be put into a motion by a president who respects women sees women who understands women and who want the best for women who wants us all to achieve our highest potential.
Biden’s executive order comes at a time when women’s health issues are dominating politics, with several states adopting anti-abortion laws that have threatened even unrelated reproductive issues like IVF.
Just before he signed the executive order, Joe Biden repeated his call for people to vote for a Democratic Congress to restore abortion rights:
You send me a Democratic Congress that supports reproductive freedom, I promise you we will restore Roe v Wade again as the law of the land.
Biden’s executive order goes beyond reproductive health issues. It also includes federal funding of research into mental health, substance abuse disorders, environmental health factors, and autoimmune diseases that disproportionately affect women, like rheumatoid arthritis.
The National Institutes of Health, for example, will increase its investments in small businesses that focus on women’s health by 50%, while the Defense Department will invest $10 million to learn more about cancers and mental health issues affecting women in active military service.
The US NIH is also launching a new effort around menopause and the treatment of menopausal symptoms that will identify research gaps and work to close them, according to White House advisor Jennifer Klein. However, this funding isn’t guaranteed as it is ultimately up to the US Congress to approve it.

Is French First Lady Brigitte Macron a transgender woman who was really born a man?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Updated @ 2024-03-17 : Added more details about Brigitte Macron and Jean-Michel Trogneux. Originally posted @ 2024-03-15
Claim : French First Lady Brigitte Macron Was Born A Man!
Some people are claiming that French First Lady Brigitte Macron was born a man, who later transitioned into a transgender woman!
Candace Owens : Stop everything and watch this! Not a joke or an exaggeration to say that barring political assassinations, this is likely the biggest scandal that has ever happened in politics in human history.
I looked into this expecting it to be an insane conspiracy theory and it is anything but. It took 3 years of research for the journalists to unpack this series. It would take 3 seconds for Macron to dispel these rumors and yet they seem unable to. The implications are WILD.
Candace Owens : This episode is blowing up so I just want to say—After looking into this, I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man. Any journalist or publication that is trying to dismiss this plausibility is immediately identifiable as establishment.
I have never seen anything like this in my life. The implications here are terrifying. I do not intend to let up on this story and I am calling on other journalists to look into this explosive story and report accordingly.
Jim Ferguson : Alert: Is the first lady of France actually a man! Is Macron Gay.
According to a researcher, Brigitte Macron was born as Jean-Michel Trogneux, a man. But president Macron’s wife said she was being targeted by a transphobic rumor and she would file a complaint.
The source of this information on Brigitte Macron’s past life was in articles published in September in the journal Faits et Documents citing extensive evidence of a massive cover-up about a trans figure in the Elysee.
France’s first lady dismissed it as a conspiracy theory.
On French social networks the hashtag #JeanMichelTrogneux has been trending for several weeks now. On November 7, the Twitter account “Le journal de la macronie”, launched the quest for finding Brigitte’s “lost brother” who has disappeared without a trace.
The hashtag has generated close to 80 000 mentions, in particular on “anti-tax and far-right accounts”, noted the Visibrain site. A Russian television station has demanded an investigation into the rumours.
The journalist Natacha Rey, who is the author, said she had firm evidence that the first lady was born Jean Michel Trogneux, a transgender male. Rey has been researching the shady past of Brigitte and the curious disappearance of her alleged “brother”.
Jean Michel Trogneux was last spotted in the company of the highly controversial Joseph Doucé (since found murdered) in the late eighties of the previous century, around the time when Brigitte appeared, said Rey. The pastor was the first advocate of gay marriages and trans surgery and head of a pedophile ring. Many suspect that Doucé had played a role similar to that of Jeffrey Epstein: Blackmailing those in power.
• The Dailey mail posted an article claiming Brigitte Macron IS NOT a man. Weird….
• Two photos were released as “proof”
1. The first photo, the boy in the photo looks like Brigitte
2 The second photo looked way too new to look like a 70 year olds childhood photo. —— turns out it was a picture of his daughter.
🔴 It turns out a 3 year Investigation took with journalists working with genealogist’s and what they found was explosive.
– Brigitte Macron was born a man named Jean Michel – Jean Michel lived as a man for 30 years, fathered 5 children, and transitioned at the age of 30 to Become Brigitte.
🔴 “Brigitte” is unable to produce ANY PHOTOS of the first thirty years of her life outside what the daily mail published.
• There are NO photos of her and her brother at all,
🔴 According to the genealogists, Jean Michel existed for 30 Years, and then DISAPPEARED when Brigitte then came into existence
🔴 Sometimes Brigitte tells story’s that don’t add up… the math isn’t mathing.
• for example, she recalled living alone during Neil Armstrong moon landing in 1969. — the problem with that is that she would have been 16 years old. — if she is Jean Michel, who is 8 years older, making her 24 at the time.
• What about the story of her ex husband that she had three kids with? — her ex husband doesn’t exist. They can’t find him anywhere. — the MSM trying to prove he exists, they kept “accidentally” showing photos of different men.
🔴 Brigitte Macron sued two of the journalists… for what exactly? —— for violation of Privacy and fundamental personal rights, plus illicit use of her image. —— the journalists were punished with fines and a police visit and raid of her home. —— they interrogated the journalists, told them to produce a list of journalists they were in contact with
This is yet another example of fake news created or promoted by conspiracy theorists, and here are the reasons why, with the help of Nicolas Faure and Jonathan Moadab!
Fact #1 : Emmanuel Macron Called Rumours False + Fabricated!
After Candace Owens made those claims on her Daily Wire show, French President Emmanuel Macron called them “false and fabricated“.
The worst thing is the false information and fabricated scenarios. People eventually believe them and disturb you, even in your intimacy.
He also said that the transgender claims about his wife were typical of misogynistic online attacks that women have to put up with. These transgender attacks on Brigitte Macron as similar (example | example | example) to what Michelle Obama has been subjected to.
Fact #2 : Brigitte Macron Family Photo Shows Her As A Girl
Conspiracy theorists claim that Brigitte is the boy on the far left in this Trogneux family photo. But that’s actually her brother – Jean-Michel Trogneux. Brigitte Trogneux is really the little girl sitting on the lap of her mother, Simone Pujol.
Of course, they claim that the little girl is really Christine Haquin or Nathalie Farcy – one of her cousins. They can’t seem to decide who. They also cannot explain why would the Trogneux family included a niece in a family portrait!
In any case, those theories are easily dismissed – Christine Haquin was born in 1957, while Nathalie Farcy was born on 23 September 1959. In other words, they were born about 2-5 years after this photo was taken (circa 1954/1955).
The conspiracy theory claims that Brigitte Macron is really Jean-Michel Henri Trogneux – the boy on the far left in the photo above, and that he disappeared in the 1980s.
That’s not true, because Jean-Michel’s birth certificate shows that he was born on 11 February 1945, while a newspaper cutting shows that Brigette Trogeneux was born a girl on 13 April 1953 – more than 8 years later!
Jean-Michel Trogneux was also seen on television together with Emmanuel Macron. French journalist Jonathan Moadab also tracked Jean-Michel to his house.
Fact #4 : Brigitte Macron Married Her First Husband In 1975
The conspiracy theory claims that Brigitte Macron only became a transgender woman when she was 30 years old. That’s not possible.
Born Brigitte Marie-Claude Trogneux on 13 April 1953, she married her first husband, André-Louis Auzière, on 22 June 1974 – when she was 21 years old.
According to the conspiracy theory, Brigitte would have been a man when she married Auzière (also a man). That’s not possible, because France did not permit same sex marriage in the 1970s. In fact, France only legalised same-sex marriage on 18 May 2013 – almost 39 years later!
In addition, Jean-Michel married Véronique Christine Dominique on 24 November 1980 – more than 5 years later, and Brigitte attended as a witness!
Fact #5 : Brigitte Macron Gave Birth To Three Children
On top of that, Brigitte Macron gave birth to three children – Sébastien Auzière, Laurence Auzière-Jourdan, and Tiphaine Auzière (photo below). That would not be possible if she was born a biological male.
Transgender women can change their looks, and develop breasts. They, however, lack both ovaries and uterus, and cannot give birth to children. So this claim is utter nonsense.
Fact #6 : Brigitte Macron Won Libel Case On Transgender Rumour
It appears that these transgender rumours were started with the release of a so-called “three-year investigation” by a small, far-right publication called Faits et Documents (Facts and Documents) in September 2021.
However, it only went viral, when two women – Amandine Roy, a clairvoyant, and Natacha Rey, a so-called freelance journalist, made those claims in a YouTube video in December 2021.
In February 2022, Brigitte Macron and her three children, as well as her brother, Jean-Michel Trogneux, filed a libel lawsuit against the two women. Brigitte and her brother, Jean-Michel, also filed a (criminal) complaint for libel.
On Tuesday, 14 February 2023, the judicial court in Lisieux convicted the two women of libel, and fined them €2,000 each. Those fines were later reduced on appeal, but they both remain convicted of libel.
Fact #7 : Viral Photos Were Edited
Some people are sharing photos which they claim show Jean-Michel Trogneux, before she transitioned into Brigitte Trogneux. They are not genuine.
The viral photos were edited from a photo that was taken by Abaca Press on 4 June 2019, showing Brigitte Macron meeting with players and staff at Clairefontaine-en-Yvelines, southwest of Paris, during the French women national football team’s preparation for FIFA World Cup 2019 in France.
Finally, I should point out that Candace Owens provided no actual evidence that Brigitte Macron was born a man, beyond the debunked claims from years ago… and her claim that Brigitte Macron was unable to produce any photos of herself in the first 30 years of her life.
Guys, how easy to debunk this – if you say Candace, no, actually you lived as a man for 30 years, I’ve lived 30 years: I’m going to show you every photo of every year that I’ve lived. Here’s me in college right, here’s me while I was pregnant with my children. Here’s me and my husband on our wedding day.
There would be so many photos that Brigitte should have at her disposal if this is false. Nope – they’re just calling everybody wrong and backwards and transphobic. Just produce the photos.
Instead, the only photos they have produced that are circulating in the media are the photos that I just showed you. And, as I said, the first photo she looks more like the Jean-Michel who she claims is actually her brother, who she won’t just present to the public. If that is in fact your brother, please just go on a walk with him so we can capture it.
It must be a Millennial “thing” (Candace Owens was born in 1989) to take photos of everything, all the time, to share with the world on social media. It’s easy for people today to demand – “photo, or it didn’t happen”.
The thing is – Brigitte Trogneux was born in 1953, and she was not fortunate enough back in those “good old days” to own a smartphone, or have access to social media. Even digital cameras were not common until the late 1990s.
Frankly, even if Brigitte Macron shared any photo she took as a child, conspiracists will likely insist that the photos were doctored, or of a different girl. Hence, the onus lies with the accusers to prove their claims.

Was Brigitte Macron really born a man called Jean-Michel Trogneux?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Brigitte Macron Was A Man Called Jean-Michel Trogneux!
Some people are claiming that French First Lady Brigitte Macron is a transgender woman who was born a man called Jean-Michel Trogneux!
These rumours started with the release of a so-called “three-year investigation” by a small, far-right publication called Faits et Documents (Facts and Documents) in September 2021. However, it only went viral, when two women – Amandine Roy and Natacha Rey, made those claims in a YouTube video in December 2021.
These claims were revived in March 2024, by American conservative commentator Candace Owens on her Daily Wire show.
Candace Owens : Stop everything and watch this! Not a joke or an exaggeration to say that barring political assassinations, this is likely the biggest scandal that has ever happened in politics in human history.
I looked into this expecting it to be an insane conspiracy theory and it is anything but. It took 3 years of research for the journalists to unpack this series. It would take 3 seconds for Macron to dispel these rumors and yet they seem unable to. The implications are WILD.

I have never seen anything like this in my life. The implications here are terrifying. I do not intend to let up on this story and I am calling on other journalists to look into this explosive story and report accordingly.
It then went viral again, with many right-wing conservatives and conspiracy theorists repeating them, or sharing her video.
Proven : Why Brigitte Macron Is Not Jean-Michel Trogneux!
This is yet another example of fake news created or promoted by conspiracy theorists, and here are the reasons why, with the help of Nicolas Faure and Jonathan Moadab!
French journalist Jonathan Moadab started his own investigation in 2021, when those rumours first went viral. At first, he believed that Brigitte could really be Jean-Michel, but he soon found out that they are two different people from the same family!
Fact #1 : Brigitte Trogneux’s Birth Was Announced In Newspaper!
Let me start by pointing out that after Brigitte Marie-Claude Trogneux was born on 13 April 1953, her family announced it in the local newspaper:
SOCIAL NOTEBOOK
Anne-Marie, Jean-Claude, Mary-vonne, Monique and Jean-Michel TROGNEUX have the great joy of announcing the birth of their little sister Brigitte.Amiens, 1, rue Delambre.
CARNET MONDAIN
Anne-Marie, Jean-Claude, Maryvonne, Monique et Jean-Michel TROGNEUX ont la grande joie de vous annoncer la naissance de leur petite sœur Brigitte. Amiens, 1, rue Delambre.
The newspaper announcement specifically stated that her name was indeed, Brigitte at birth, and that she was born a female. You will also note that it mentioned her brother – Jean-Michel.
The carnival should have stopped for anyone who bothered to dig a bit deeper into this story, but no… this photo must be fake, or the Trogneuxs or Macrons must have used a time machine to go back to 1953 and pay for that fake announcement to be printed!
Fact #2 : Jean-Michel Trogneux Was Born Earlier + Still Alive!
In January 2022, Jonathan Moadab obtained an extract from Jean-Michel’s official birth certificate, showing that he was born as a male, at 4 o’clock on 11 February 1945. That’s 8 years before his sister, Brigitte Trogneux!
In addition, he found that Jean-Michel Trogneux was listed on the French electoral roll in 2022, which confirms that he still exists as a separate person from Brigitte Macron (née Trogneux).
But of course, these can be faked, right? The Illuminati and the New World Order can make short work of such documents, no?
Fact #3 : Jean-Michel Trogneux Married After Brigitte!
The supplementary update in the birth certificate extract also stated that Jean-Michel Henri Trogneux married and subsequently divorced Véronique Christine Dominique in 1980 and 1987 respectively.
Jean-Michel, therefore, cannot possibly be Brigitte Trogneux since his sister married her first husband, André-Louis Auzière, on 22 June 1974 – more than 5 years earlier!
Fact #4 : Brigitte Trogneux Witnessed Her Brother’s Wedding!
On top of that, Moadab obtained a copy of this administrative document, which appears to show that Brigitte attended her brother’s wedding to Véronique Christine Dominique!
Could both Jean-Michel and Brigitte Trogneux have attended the wedding as the same person at the same time? That would be quite the miracle!
Fact #5 : Jean-Michel Trogneux Did Not Disappear!
The conspiracy theory claims that Jean-Michel Henri Trogneux disappeared in the 1980s. That’s not true. While Jean-Michel Trogneux is a very private person, he was actually seen on television with French President Emmanuel Macron!
Jonathan Moadab asked two different friends of Jean-Michel Trogneux, who never met each other, to confirm that that man in the video was Jean-Michel Trogneux. Both persons “vigorously stated that Jean-Michel Trogneux existed, and that he was the man in those images“.
Finally, Jonathan Moadab went to Jean-Michel Trogneux’s house, and rang his doorbell. Naturally, Jean-Michel was not happy to see him, and asked him to leave. But he actually met the man himself, and confirmed that he does indeed exist.
Fact #6 : Jean-Michel + Brigitte Won Their Libel Lawsuit!
In February 2022, Jean-Michel Henri Trogneux joined his sister Brigitte Macron, and her three children, in filing a libel lawsuit against the two women who made those transgender claims. They also also filed a (criminal) complaint for libel.
Obviously, it would not be possible for Jean-Michel to jointly file the lawsuit with Brigitte Macron, if they are one and the same person!
On Tuesday, 14 February 2023, the judicial court in Lisieux convicted the two women of libel, and fined them €2,000 each. Those fines were later reduced on appeal, but they both remain convicted of libel.

Did Amy Schumer just reveal that she developed VAIDS after getting her third COVID-19 booster dose?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Amy Schumer Developed VAIDS After Third Booster!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims that Amy Schumer just revealed that she developed VAIDS after getting her third COVID-19 booster dose!
Here is an excerpt of the long and (intentionally?) rambling article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
Amy Schumer Says She Developed VAIDS After Third Booster
Amy Schumer has revealed that she developed full-blown Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (VAIDS) as a direct result of getting multiple COVID jabs.
The comedian was forced to come clean about her diagnosis when people began speculating about her poor health after a recent appearance on television where she appeared extremely bloated.
“Thank you so much for everyone’s input about my face. I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years. And you’re right, it is puffier than normal right now. I have endometriosis, an auto immune disease that every woman should read about,” Schumer posted on social media.
The sharp decrease in immunity following vaccination is caused by “altered cytokine responses”. Cytokines are small proteins that are produced by our immune system in response to infection. The more jabs a person receives, the more depleted the immune system becomes, resulting in VAIDS.
Truth : Amy Schumer Did Not Develop VAIDS After Third Booster!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Amy Schumer Did Not Say She Developed VAIDS
The People’s Voice article claimed that Amy Schumer “revealed that she developed full-blown Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (VAIDS) as a direct result of getting multiple COVID jabs“.
Amy Schumer has not made any statements claiming that she developed full-blown VAIDS after getting multiple COVID-19 vaccine injections.
As usual, The People’s Voice article provided no evidence to back up its “fact checked” claim.
Fact #2 : Amy Schumer Was Diagnosed With Cushing’s Syndrome
On Tuesday, 13 February 2024, Amy Schumer appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where people noticed that her face appeared puffier than usual.
After her puffy appearance went viral on social media, Amy posted on Instagram that she was going through “some medical and hormonal things” due to endometriosis.
I’ve enjoyed feedback and deliberation about my appearance as all women do for almost 20 years. And you’re right it is puffier than normal right now. I have endometriosis an auto immune disease that every woman should read about. There are some medical and hormonal things going on in my world right now but I’m okay.
Later, she would be diagnosed with Cushing’s syndrome, which was caused by getting steroid injections in high doses.
ISo finding out I have the kind of Cushing that will just work itself out and I’m healthy was the greatest news imaginable. It has been a crazy couple weeks for me and my family.
Just in case there is any confusion, endometriosis is not AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), which is caused by HIV – the Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
Why would anyone claim that Amy Schumer developed AIDS when she clearly stated that she has endometriosis???
Fact #4 : Cushing’s Syndrome Isn’t AIDS Either
While high doses of steroid suppresses the immune system, it isn’t AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), which is caused by HIV – the Human Immunodeficiency Virus.
To be clear – COVID-19 vaccines do not cause Cushing’s syndrome.
Fact #5 : Vaccine AIDS Does Not Exist
This is silly, but let me also point out that there is no medical disease called VAIDS – Vaccine-Induced Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. It appears to be something made-up by anti-vaccination activists to scare people.
AIDS is caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Nothing else causes AIDS. Certainly no vaccine, not even the COVID-19 vaccine, causes AIDS.
Robert Charles Gallo – one of the two scientists who independently discovered that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was responsible for AIDS, said in response to the 2021 claim by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro that COVID-19 vaccines cause AIDS:
[I]t’s hard to believe anyone would claim that the covid-19 vaccine causes AIDS. We know what causes AIDS.
I don’t know what your president said. So I don’t want to be too critical. But it is obvious that neither the covid-19 vaccine nor any other vaccine causes AIDS.
Just in case you think that Amy Schumer might have developed endometriosis from her COVID-19 vaccinations, that couldn’t be further from the truth.
For one thing – endometriosis affects roughly 10% of women in their reproductive age, since time immemorial.
But more to the point – Amy Schumer had been struggling with endometriosis for years. While she did not reveal when she was first diagnosed with endometriosis, she revealed that she had her uterus and appendix removed in September 2021, after years of suffering.
So, it’s the morning after my surgery for endometriosis and my uterus is out. The doctor found 30 spots of endometriosis that he removed. He removed my appendix because the endometriosis had attacked it.
There was a lot, a lot of blood in my uterus and I’m, you know, sore and I have some, like, gas pains.
Amy Schumer also revealed in August 2020 (before the COVID-19 vaccines were approved!) that she “couldn’t be pregnant ever again” due to how her endometriosis affected her fertility.
To be clear – Amy Schumer’s endometriosis isn’t new, or related to the COVID-19 vaccines. She has been suffering from endometriosis for many years.
Interestingly, the cover photo of The People’s Voice article were taken from Amy Schumer’s September 2021 Instagram posts. So it appears they knew she was suffering from endometriosis for many years, and it had nothing to do with multiple vaccine booster doses.
The People’s Voice article pointed to a study which purportedly showed COVID-19 vaccines causing VAIDS in children. That’s not true.
The study did not mention AIDS, VAIDS, or even immunodeficiency. It was also conducted only in a laboratory, using blood samples from 29 children – none of whom were found to have developed any side effect or disease from their COVID-19 vaccinations!
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.
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 never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Did Barack Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, pose in nude photos for his “real” father, Frank Marshall Davis?!
Take a look at the viral photos, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Barack Obama’s Mother Posed In Nude Photos!
People are posting photos purportedly of Barack Obama’s mother, when she posed in nude photos, suggesting that the photographer, Frank Marshall Davis, was his real father, and not Barack Obama Sr.!
Stew Peters : Never forget that this “lady’s” son was the first “black” president of the United States. 🇺🇸
Freedompedia : OBAMA’S mother. Nude pics of OBAMA’S mother is causing a heated debate online.
Patriots Win : Barack Obama’s Mother: Stanley Ann Dunham’s Vintage Nude Photos
No Op Cue : Are Stanley Ann Dunham’s Vintage Nude Photos The Reason Barack Obama Never Mentioned His Late Mother Or Is It Because She Was A White Ashkenazi Khazarian?
Mogan Dane : Prior going w/Obama Sr to Kenya, & birthing Barry in Kenya,
Barry’s momma was sexed up and pimped out by Communist Frank Marshall Davis, who may be Barry’s genetic father.
Frank Marshall Davis Had nude photos of Barry’s momma in his home
Truth : Barack Obama’s Mother Did Not Pose Nude For Men’s Magazines!
This is yet another example of fake news created about former President Barack Obama, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Nude Photos Are Not Of Barack Obama’s Mother
This is really silly, but let me just start by pointing out that Barack Obama’s mother – Stanley Ann Dunham, is not the woman seen in those viral nude photos.
Those nude photos are also not private photos taken by Frank Marshall Davis, because they appeared in the men’s magazine called Exotique!
Fact #2 : Ann Dunham Only Moved To Hawaii In 1960
It is temporally impossible for Ann Dunham to be the woman in those photos, or even be acquainted with Frank Marshall Davis when those photos were taken, because she only moved to Hawaii in 1960.
Those viral photos appeared in the men’s magazine called Exotique in 1958. Stanley Ann Dunham was still living in Washington when those photos were published.
The Dunham family did not move to Hawaii until the summer of 1960 – two years after those photos were published.
The magazine Exotique ceased publication in 1959 – one year before Barack Obama’s mother first stepped foot in Hawaii.
Unless Stanley Ann Dunham had a time machine in the 1960s, it would be impossible for her to travel back in time to pose nude in 1958.
Fact #2 : Posing Nude Isn’t Illegal
Even if Barack Obama’s mother posed nude for men’s magazines, that wouldn’t have been illegal, or wrong.
In fact, former First Lady Melania Trump famously posed nude in the January 2000 edition of GQ magazine, while she was Donald Trump’s girlfriend, Melania Knauss.
I should also point out that these claims about Barack Obama’s mother posing nude for men’s magazines is very old, originating with the 2012 conspiracy movie, Dreams from My Real Father. by conspiracy theorist Joel Gilbert.
Loren Collins did a great job fact checking that very old claim, which you can read here and here.
We may never know who the mystery model is. But the Dunham family didn’t move to Hawaii until the summer of 1960. Unless Ann Dunham had access to a time machine in the 1960s, it simply cannot be her.
Moreover, Joel Gilbert knows this. He found that opera glove photo; it was not circulating the web as an ‘Ann’ photo prior to his videos. He knows it came from Exotique, a magazine that ceased publication in 1959. From WND: “Gilbert found that several of the photos in the collection appeared in a magazine called Exotique, published by pin-up photographer Leonard Burtman, who worked in New York City.”
Thus he knows this picture was published two years before Ann first stepped foot in Hawaii, years before she could have met Frank Marshall Davis. And yet he explicitly claims, multiple times, that the photo was TAKEN at Christmastime 1960. This is not a lie of ignorance or mistake; it is a lie of pure, fully-informed malice.
It is interesting that these old photos and long-debunked claims should resurface in 2024, in the run-up to the 2024 US Presidential Election. Is it because some conservatives believe that Michelle Obama might run for the US Presidency?
Fact #4 : Ann Dunham Would Have Been Underage
Joel Gilbert not only put those photos in his movie, he mailed out more than a million copies to voters in Iowa, Ohio, Nevada, New Hampshire, and Colorado, in an apparent attempt to influence the 2012 US presidential election.
However, Stanley Ann Dunham was born in 1942, and would have been 15 years old – underage, when those photos were originally published in 1958.
If those photos are really of Ann Dunham, it would mean that Joel Gilbert knowingly published child pornography, and illegally distributed them to more than a million people!

Is the FAA planning to eliminate white men from the aviation industry?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : FAA Plans To Eliminate White Men From Aviation Industry!
People are sharing an article (archive) by The People’s Voice (formerly NewsPunch), which claims or suggests that the FAA just admitted its plan is to eliminate white men from the aviation industry, while fast tracking disabled minorities into key roles like pilots and air traffic controllers!
Here is an excerpt from the long, and (intentionally?) rambling article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!
FAA Admits Plan Is To ‘Eliminate White Men’ From Aviation Industry
A leaked Zoom call recording shows Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials admitting that the plan is to completely eliminate white men from the aviation industry while fast tracking disabled minorities into key roles like pilots and air traffic controllers.
The DailyWire’s Matt Walsh obtained the leaked Zoom call from 2022 between senior officials at the FAA’s Flight Program Operations division talking about implementing Diversity Equity and Inclusion measures in the aviation industry.
“The footage begins with FAA acting deputy chief operating officer Angela McCullough saying more workers need to go from ‘ramp to cockpit,’ meaning she wants to see more baggage handlers become airline pilots,” Walsh declared on X.
Infowars.com reports: McCullough then complains that Flight Operations is “white-male dominated” and tells the managers they need to “talk about what the future could look like.”
But the DEI insanity extends far beyond the pilots. According to Walsh, an “industry-wide embrace of overt mental illness afflicts every aspect of aviation.”
And “billions of dollars in critical grant funding” is going to DEI programs and initiatives rather than other important aspects of the industry.
This comes after the FAA announced a diversity push that would include focusing on hiring people with “severe intellectual” and “psychiatric” disabilities.
Truth : FAA Does Not Plan To Eliminate White Men From Aviation Industry!
This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The People’s Voice, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : FAA Is A US Federal Government Agency
Let me just start by pointing out that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is a US federal government agency. It only has powers over civil aviation in the United States, and its surrounding international waters.
The FAA has no power or authority over civil aviation in the rest of the world.
It is therefore impossible for the FAA to “completely eliminate white men from the aviation industry“, even if it really wanted to do that (which it doesn’t).
Fact #2 : Video Does Not Show FAA Plan To Eliminate White Men
Nothing posted by Matt Walsh, Infowars, or The People’s Voice, show the FAA admitting to any plan to eliminate white men from the aviation industry.
The leaked video only shows what appears to be an FAA internal meeting on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) measures that the aviation industry can adopt to make flight operations more inclusive and representative of the population.
In fact, FAA Acting Deputy Chief Operating Officer Angela McCullough is seen stating talking about potentially developing “partnerships” with university or trade schools to encourage a more diverse flight operations team.
Are there opportunities for any partnerships with universities or trade schools which specialised… we kinda talked about from ramp to cockpit. There are some things we would want to look at.
Unfortunately, the video ended abruptly at that point, which makes me wonder – could the video be missing context about what Angela McCullough was saying in that meeting?
But even without the rest of the video, you can see that Angela never once said that she or the FAA planned to eliminate white men from the aviation industry.
In fact, Matt Walsh himself did not even claim that the FAA plans to eliminate all white men from the aviation industry. So why would anyone make that claim based on his posts???
Fact #3 : There’s Nothing Wrong With Retraining People
It is uncertain what Angela McCullough meant by “from ramp to cockpit”, but it could simply mean offering people working in aviation ramp operations the opportunity to train and become pilots.
There is nothing wrong with retraining people for a different job, if that’s what the industry needs, and if they are interested and capable in the new job.
People can, and do, learn new skills to change jobs and even industries. As long as they are qualified for those new jobs, what exactly is wrong with that?
Only fools would believe that the FAA will ever let baggage handlers become airline pilots without training or passing qualification tests.
Fact #4 : Being Transgender Is Not A Mental Illness
Matt Walsh appears to suggest or claim that being transgender is an “overt mental illness”. That’s just not true.
Being transgender was once considered a psychological problem that can be treated. However, the American Psychiatric Association revised its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 2012, to remove being transgender as a mental disorder.
With the release of DSM-5 in 2013, being transgender itself is no longer a mental disorder. Some transgender people are now diagnosed with “gender dysphoria”, if they face emotional stress related to their gender identity.
All psychiatric diagnoses occur within a cultural context. We know there is a whole community of people out there who are not seeking medical attention and live between the two binary categories. We wanted to send the message that the therapist’s job isn’t to pathologize. – Jack Drescher, a member of the APA subcommittee responsible for the change
Just because someone disagrees with the American Psychiatric Association’s definition, does not mean that the aviation industry is embracing “overt mental illness”.
The People’s Voice article used a photo of two young black female pilots (above). On of the off-chance that it was chosen to convey the perception that unqualified female minority pilots may soon begin putting your lives at risk, let me just say that it couldn’t be further from the truth.
The two female pilots are Captain Tara Wright, and First Officer Mallory Cave. They made made history on 13 May 2018, as the first African-American female flight crew to fly an Alaska Airlines flight from San Francisco to Portland.
Not only are they both fully-qualified pilots, Captain Wright was also the first-ever African-American female pilot to fly for US Airways, before becoming its first African-American female pilot to be promoted to Captain in 2017.
Captain Wright is only the 7th African-American woman to ever become a captain in any major airline, which points to the lack of diversity and representation in the aviation industry.
Fact #6 : The People’s Voice Is Known For Publishing 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 never share anything from NewsPunch / The People’s Voice. Here are some of its fake stories that I fact checked earlier:

Was a transgender woman just caught playing in the women’s rugby league?! Take a look at the viral video, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Transgender Woman Played In Women’s Rugby League!
People are sharing a video on YouTube, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter), claiming that it shows a transgender man playing in the women’s rugby league!
David Atherton : A trans woman shows why they have no place in women’s sport. This is a Rugby League match.
The opinionated Black woman ~ Aunty : What the hell is a bloke doing playing in the women’s rugby league at an international level? WHAT THE ACTUAL FCK!!!!!
Brownserpent : A man name Joanne Lagona in Australia’s Women National Rugby League destroys a woman with his tackle
girlsrugbyleague : When your told to Blend in…. then blow your cover
That Was Not Transgender Woman Playing In Women’s Rugby League!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS circulating on YouTube, TikTok and X, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Video Was From September 2022
Let me start by pointing out that the video isn’t new. It was recorded in September 2022, and shows the Australian Prime Minister’s XIII game against Papua New Guinea (source).
Fact #2 : Joanne Lagona Is Not Transgender
The player in the viral video clip that people are accusing of being a transgender woman is actually a Papua New Guinea woman named Joanne Lagona.
Joanne Lagona was a fullback in the Papua New Guinea Orchids women’s national rugby league team, who played in the 2012 Oceania Women’s Sevens Championship, the 2016 Oceania Rugby Women’s Championship, and the 2021 Women’s Rugby League World Cup.
That would not be possible if Joanne Lagona was a transgender woman, because transgender players are not allowed to participate in official women’s rugby matches.
Fact #3 : Joanne Lagona Also Plays Against Men
Joanne Lagona has been playing rugby since she was five years old, and is used to playing against the men. In fact, she plays against men, when there are no women’s competitions in Papua New Guinea.
I am not new to 7s rugby as I have been playing the game at a very young age. At times when there are no women competitions in PNG, I play in the men’s competition. I am used to tough and physical competition.
While she plays against the men, Joanne Lagona is a biological female. People making claims that she is a transgender woman who was born a man, have provided no evidence to back up their claims.
Fact #4 : IRL Banned Transgender Players In Women’s Rugby
On 21 June 2022, the International Rugby League (IRL) announced that it does not permit transgender players from participating in women’s rugby league matches.
The IRL is continuing work to review and update rules about transgender participation in women’s international rugby league and will seek to use the upcoming World Cup to help develop a comprehensive inclusion policy.
Until further research is completed to enable the IRL to implement a formal transgender inclusion policy, male-to-female (transwomen) players are unable to play in sanctioned women’s international rugby league matches.
As such, it is impossible for any transgender man to play in women’s rugby matches, at least not in official matches, as shown in the viral video.

Did a new Turkish study suggest that giving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to pregnant women may cause autism in their children?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Study Suggests Pfizer mRNA Vaccine May Cause Autism!
The Children’s Health Defense (CHD) activist group, which is chaired by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., just posted an article suggesting that a new Turkish study suggests that giving the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to pregnant women may cause autism in their children!
Here is an excerpt from the CHD article (archive) with my emphasis in bold.
Pfizer’s COVID Vaccine Caused Autism-Like Behaviors in Offspring of Rats Vaccinated During Pregnancy
COVID-19 mRNA gene therapies (“vaccines”) were likely the first injectable medicines recommended for pregnant women based on just 11 weeks of testing — even though according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the average time required to test a drug for safety is eight-and-a-half years.
Now, a Turkish study in Neurochemical Research, by Mumin Alper Erdogan et al., suggests administering the mRNA vaccines to pregnant women may cause neurodevelopmental harm to their children.
Truth : Study Did Not Suggest Pfizer mRNA Vaccine Causes Autism!
Let’s take a closer look at the study from Turkey, and find out what the facts really are!
Fact #1 : mRNA Vaccines Are Not Gene Therapies
Let me just start by pointing out that the first sentence in the CHD article is factually wrong – mRNA vaccines are not gene therapies. It’s really peculiar for anyone to make such a claim.
mRNA vaccines do not enter the cell nucleus, and do not modify our cell DNA. There is no danger of “genomic integration”. The mRNA is also transitory – being broken down by the cell after some time.
Gene therapies, on the other hand, are designed to make permanent changes to a patient’s DNA, by adding a functional copy of a gene, disabling a gene, or activating an existing gene.
Fact #2 : Bridging Studies Do Not Require Long Trials
I also find it odd that the article took pains to point out that the mRNA vaccines for pregnant women were approved after “just 11 weeks of testing”. Does the CHD have any evidence that this is insufficient time to determine the vaccines’ safety and efficacy in pregnant women?
It is interesting that the article failed to mention that the 11-week trial involved more than 35,000 individuals who received the Pfizer or Moderna mNRA vaccine during or shortly before pregnancy, making it the largest trial (at that time) on the safety of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnant women.
I should point out that that wasn’t a full-blown Phase 3 clinical trial, which both Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines had already passed with flying colours months earlier. That was a bridging study, which does not require long trials. So any suggestion or insinuation that they should take the “average time” of 8.5 years is nonsensical.
In any case, the COVID-19 vaccines continue to be monitored for safety and efficacy long after their approvals. If any COVID-19 vaccine was found to have a bad side effect, its approval would be rescinded.
Fact #3 : Study Never Suggested mRNA Vaccines Cause Autism In Humans
I should point out that the Turkish study never suggested that mRNA vaccines given to pregnant women may cause neurodevelopmental harm to their children. The authors stated this clearly. More on this in the next section.
The paper from Turkey by Mumim Alper Erdogan et. al., which is called Prenatal Exposure to COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine BNT162b2 Induces Autism-Like Behaviors in Male Neonatal Rats: Insights into WNT and BDNF Signaling Perturbations, is available for public access (archive).
As the title points out – the Turkish study was conducted on rats, specifically Wistar rats. Therefore, the results obviously do not translate to actual human beings.
While rats are mammals too, they are not miniature human beings, and respond differently to chemicals, drugs, and yes, vaccines too. Therefore, the results of any animal study should not be used to draw any conclusions about human beings. The authors themselves pointed this out:
… it’s vital to note these insights come primarily from animal studies, limiting their direct applicability to humans. Further human clinical research is required to confirm these findings.
It’s imperative to recognize the limitations of our research, given that it relies on animal models. Caution should be exercised in generalizing these results to humans.
Fact #5 : Pfizer Vaccine Dose Was Extremely High
To conduct their experiments, the Turkish researchers impregnated 15 female Wistar rats, splitting them into two groups – 7 receiving a saline solution (control group), and 8 receiving the Pfizer mRNA vaccine. However, it does not appear that the rats were given the appropriate dosage of the Pfizer vaccine.
Human adults receive 30 μg of the Pfizer vaccine in each dose. Given that the average female adult weight is 77.5 kg / 170.8 pounds (per CDC), and the average Wistar rat in that experiment weighed about 220 grams, each female rat should have received only 0.085 μg – 1/352th of the human dose.
Instead, each female Wistar rat was injected with 30 μg of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine – equivalent to 10,560 μg in human dosage, or 352 vaccine doses in one shot. This was the same problem we saw with an earlier Belgian study on the Pfizer vaccine causing turbo cancer.
This decision to use such a high dose of the Pfizer vaccine (in relative terms) makes the experiment a poor reflection of actual vaccine safety in human beings. Anything taken at such high doses would likely be toxic. Even water, when taken in large amounts, is toxic to humans.
The study suggested in its introduction that the spike protein – whether produced by “natural viral infection” or “post vaccination” may potentially cause “neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism”.
There are theoretical postulates suggesting that the biosynthesis of the spike protein, either through natural viral infection or post-vaccination, could induce neuroinflammation and elicit alterations in synaptic plasticity [5, 6]. These proposed changes might exert effects on brain development and have potential contributions to neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism [7].
Unfortunately, the study did not test that hypothesis by testing to see if COVID-19 infections can also cause similar changes in the progeny of pregnant Wistar rats. So it is impossible to know if it was a component in the Pfizer vaccine, or the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, that caused those changes in the rat babies.
Think about this – if it was really the spike protein that caused those changes, then the benefits of vaccination would still outweigh the risks. After all, COVID-19 vaccines only create a limited number of spike protein analogues to trigger the immune system into learning how to create antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
On the other hand, the actual COVID-19 infection will create an unlimited number of SARS-CoV-2 viruses – each covered with spike proteins! The longer the COVID-19 infection persists, the more cells are infected to produce more SARS-CoV-2 viruses… and yes, more spike proteins!
Fact #7 : Authors Warned Against Drawing Conclusions
I should end by pointing out that the authors of this study themselves warned against drawing any conclusions about whether the Pfizer vaccine causes autism in human beings.
It’s imperative to recognize the limitations of our research, given that it relies on animal models. Caution should be exercised in generalizing these results to humans. Further rigorous clinical studies are required to confirm these observations in human populations and to ascertain the exact mechanisms at play.

Did a new study from Turkey show that the Pfizer mRNA vaccine causes autism?!
Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Study Shows Pfizer mRNA Vaccine Causes Autism!
People are sharing articles and screenshots, claiming or suggesting that a new study from Turkey just showed that the Pfizer mRNA vaccine has been shown to cause autism in newborn rats:
Retsev Levi : Jaw dropping published study, showing in controlled experiment on rats, autism-like effect, specific to males that their mothers were vaccinated prenatally with Pfizer mRNA vaccine!
Supported by behavioral tests & autopsies detecting changes in brain!
The study suggests plausible mechanisms!
Just imagine the attacks that the poor authors will get from the pharma shills!
Melissa 🇨🇦 : HOLY CRAP 🚨🫣 you WON’T see this on the news. Prenatal exposure to the mRNA covid vaccine induces autism like behaviours 😞
William Makis MD :NEW ARTICLE: mRNA & Pregnancy – New Turkish Study: Pregnant rats were given Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine.
Newborn rats developed autism, had fewer neurons, impaired motor function, neuro-degeneration & poor neurodevelopment
Shocking new study just published Jan.11, 2024!
(you would think these studies would have been done before rolling it out in millions of pregnant women across the globe)
Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines, when given to pregnant rats, caused the male neonatal rats to develop autism (marked reduction of social interaction and repetitive patterns of behavior), structural brain changes such as decreased neuronal counts, impaired motor performance and altered gene expression of key neurodevelopmental pathways.
It’s time to immediately halt COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines and begin assessing the incalculable damage done to the next generation

Is there only one official Michelle Obama pregnancy photo, taken with Barack Obama?!
Take a look at the viral photo, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : This Is Only Official Michelle Obama Pregnancy Photo!
People are sharing a photo which claims to be the only official Michelle Obama pregnancy photo!
Dom Lucre | Breaker of Narritives : The last photo I shared of Michelle Obama pregnant was community noted so here is the official and only picture of Michelle Obama being pregnant.
Truth : That’s Not An Official Michelle Obama Pregnancy Photo!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created about Barack and Michelle Obama, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Michelle Obama Never Released Photos Of Herself Pregnant
First, let me just point out that Michelle Obama has never released photos of herself while pregnant with Sasha or Malia.
That’s not to say they don’t exist. It is likely that they exist – they were simply not made available to us – members of the public.
Perhaps she’s just like many of us who don’t share private photos on social media. Perhaps she did not want to “jinx” her pregnancies.
After all, Michelle and Barack Obama had trouble getting pregnant, and she suffered a miscarriage. They ultimately conceived Malia and Sasha through in-vitro fertilisation (IVF).
But I did find a single photo showing her pregnant with Sasha in the year 2000, while walking with Barack Obama and Malia Sasha in a stroller. It was apparently taken by AP, so we know this is a genuine photo.
Michelle Obama was 36 years old at that time, while Barack Obama was 39 years old. As you can see – they look young!
Photo Credit : AP Images
Fact #2 : The Viral Photo Was AI-Generated
A quick look at the viral photo quickly showed image artifacts that tell us that it was AI-generated.
Both Michelle and Barack Obama look like they are in their 50s, instead of their 30s when they had their two girls.
Michelle Obama has really abnormal eyebrows. The left eyebrow appears to start from her inner corner of the eyelid, while she appears to have two eyebrows on the right.
Michelle Obama appears to have two bulges on her skull.
Michelle Obama’s right hand has really weird nails and the fingers are too long.
Barack Obama’s left ear is located way too low, right next to his cheek!
Barack Obama appears to have a giant double-chin!
Barack Obama’s left hand has ridiculously long fingers!
In short – this photo was created using generative AI software. It is most certainly not an actual Michelle Obama pregnancy photo, never mind an official one.
The person who created this photo using generative AI also made the mistake of generating it using current photos of Michelle and Barack Obama. They were only in their 30s when they had Malia and Sasha, not their 50s!
There is no need for Michelle Obama to release any photos of herself pregnant to prove that she is a woman.
Even if you ignore the fact that she gave birth to two girls, Michelle Obama grew up as a female. Her family and friends only knew her as a girl and then, a woman. Never as a boy or a man who later became transgender.
Michelle Obama sometimes shares photos of her childhood on her Instagram account. They are all proof that she grew up as a girl, never as a boy.
On the other hand, all these claims that she was born a boy has never been backed by any evidence.
Claims that Michelle Obama was born a man is not only false, it’s absurdly ridiculous, because she gave birth to two girls – Malia Obama and Sasha Obama.
For those who are wondering – transgender women cannot give birth, or suffer miscarriages, as they were born men, and lack both ovaries and uterus. And no, Malia and Sasha Obama were not adopted
Ultimately, these fake photos, and claims about Michelle Obama being transgender, are just attempts by misogynists and Republicans of the MAGA persuasion to disparage Barack and Michelle Obama.
As the 2024 US Presidential Election draws close, you can expect more rumours of Michelle Obama joining the race, and even more fake news and photos about her.

Claim : French People Were Caught Urinating On African Child!
People are sharing a video on WhatsApp and Facebook, claiming that the French people were just caught urinating on an African child after the French ambassador in Mali was expelled!
On WhatsApp : Lets make this go viral until the people responsible for this human rights abuse are arrested and prosecuted. This is the filth of France, the ugliest scandal of the twenty-first century!!!
The inhuman and shocking scene of two men and a woman urinating on an African child, in one of the French villages, and the child, completely stripped of clothes, lying face down on the ground, while numbers of The French men and women, whose country has always shocked the world with the sophistication of their civilization, are watching this obscene, dirty, and abnormal act, without any sign of intervention from any of them!!!
This was after the state of Mali expelled the French ambassador. The French arrested one of the Malians in a French village and urinated on him publicly. Africa must wake up to see the true, ugly face of France.
We regret the ugliness and horror of the scene, but where are the human rights advocates in this? It is unfortunate that globally Black Africans are associated with misfortune everywhere.

First, let me start by pointing out that this incident did not occur in 2023. The video was actually recorded on January 17, 2013. So it is more than ten years old!
Fact #2 : There Was No African Child / Woman
The child / woman who was being peed on in the viral video is not an African child or woman.
That is actually Guatemalan performance artist, Regina José Galindo, who covered her body in black coal.
Born on 27 August 1974, Regina was 39 years old when that video was recorded, and is 49 years old in 2023.
Fact #3 : Video Was Recorded In Brazil
The video was not recorded in Mali, but thousands of kilometres away, in São Paulo, Brazil.
To be specific, the video was recorded at Departamento de Artes Cênicas (CAC) – the Department of Performing Arts, which is part of the School of Communications and Arts (ECA) of the University of São Paulo.
The video is actually a 2013 performance called Piedra (Spanish for stone), which aims to expose the history of violence against Latin American women, and address the exploitation of the female workers of Brazil’s colossal coal mining industry.
In the Piedra performance, Regina painted her body black and crouched into a petrified metal position. Every 10 minutes, a male-bodied “audience member” would approach Galindo, unbutton their pants and pee on her as she remained deathly still.
The obvious nonchalant attitude and ease in which these male-bodied actors could defile the artist’s body parallels the wide-spread apathy regarding the safety and care of women’s bodies. The public aspect of the performance only “further underscores the myopic nature of everyday actions that propel repetitive structural violence.”
In presenting her body as an insignificant piedra (Spanish for stone), Galindo is suggesting a quality of disposability, with the female body vulnerable (like a stone) to violent abuse.
Piedra : The history of humanity has remained inscribed on the bodies of Latin American women. On their bodies— conquered, marked, enslaved, objectified, exploited, and tortured—one can read the terrible stories of power and struggle that shape our past. Bodies are fragile only in their appearance. It is the female body that has survived conquest and slavery. Like a stone, it has stored the hatred and rancor of memory in order to transform it into energy and life.
Fact #4 : This Video Is Being Abused By Different Parties
This video is, unfortunately, being abused by different parties to drive narratives that are contrary to what actually happened.
Some African netizens are sharing it to fan the deeply-rooted anti-French sentiment in West Africa, after a series of military coups in Mali, Niger, Guinea, and Burkina Faso.
On the other hand, pro-CCP netizens and the Chinese 50 Cent Army (wumao, 五毛) are using the video to fan anti-West sentiments in Africa (where China is making inroads), and draw attention away from criticisms of their “re-education” activities in Xinjiang.
As you have seen – the truth is they were all lying / misrepresenting the video. Here are other examples you may have seen on WhatsApp or social media platforms recently:

Do viral photos circulating on social media prove that Michelle Obama is really a transgender woman who was born a man?!
Take a look at those viral photos, and find out what the facts really are!
Claim : Photos Prove Michelle Obama Is Transgender Woman!
People are sharing photos that claim to prove that Michelle Obama is really a transgender woman who was born a man, with comments like:
WeLoveTrump : Joan Rivers “Died Suddenly” After Making This Comment About Michelle Obama…
Michelle Obama is a man that used to be named Michael. Obama is gay #TrumpIsBetter
She’s a transgender woman, born male and still male..he probably has a bigger man piece than you & proud of it. God’s children tell the truth, they don’t conceal truth, only Lucifer’s ppl do that..
Stew Peters : I am open to the idea that Michelle Robinson was born a female, though it seems unlikely. One way or another, she’s got something swinging around down there.
Truth : Photos Do NOT Prove Michelle Obama Is Transgender Woman!
This is yet another example of FAKE NEWS created to disparage Michelle Obama by misogynists and Republicans of the MAGA persuasion, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : Michelle Obama Gave Birth To Two Girls
The claims that Michelle Obama is a transgender woman who was born a man is not only false, it’s ridiculous because she gave birth to two girls – Malia Obama and Sasha Obama.
In November 2018, Michelle Obama even opened up about her experience with infertility, revealing that she suffered a miscarriage early in their marriage. Eventually she and former President Barack Obama resorted to in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) to conceive Malia and Sasha.
For those who are wondering – transgender women cannot give birth, or suffer miscarriages, as they were born men, and lack both ovaries and uterus. And no, Malia and Sasha Obama were not adopted!

Fact #2 : Michelle Obama Was Female All Her Life
Even if you ignore the fact that she gave birth to two girls, Michelle Obama grew up as a female. Her family and friends only knew her as a girl and then, a woman. Never as a boy or a man who later became transgender.
Michelle Obama sometimes shares photos of her childhood on her Instagram account. They are all proof that she grew up as a girl, never as a boy.
On the other hand, all these claims that she was born a boy has never been backed by any evidence.
Fact #3 : Michelle Obama Photos Were Edited
I investigated three of the most common photos that people were sharing as “evidence” that Michelle Obama is a transgender woman, and by extension, former President Barack Obama is a gay man.
This first photo, which claims to show Michelle Obama scratching her itchy crotch / penis, was photoshopped using a photo taken by AFP photographer, Jewel Samad.
The original photo is available on Getty Images as photo number 167345551, with the description:
US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama arrive at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland on April 24, 2013 to leave for Dallas, Texas. Obama was heading to Dallas, Texas to attend a Democratic National Committee event later in the day. He will also attend a memorial service in Waco on Thursday for the victims of the West, Texas, fertilizer plant explosion. AFP PHOTO/Jewel Samad
The original photo shows Michelle Obama looking down with her right hand covering her crotch, likely fighting against the wind from the spinning helicopter blades.
It was edited to change the angle of her hand, which is why her dress is suddenly much wider. The fake news creator then added the “crotch”.
This viral (but fake) photo was edited from an original photo posted by former President Barack Obama on January 17, 2019, to celebrate Michelle Obama’s birthday.
The fake news creator changed her hairstyle, giving her a crewcut, and made her face wider to make it look masculine.
This viral photo of Michelle Obama with a visible penis bulge was a screenshot from a video of the Democratic National Convention, when she gave a speech on August 25, 2008.
Tens of millions of people watched her speech, and dozens of photographers took photos of Michelle Obama from the moment she walked onto the stage of the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado that day.
If Michelle Obama really sported a penis bulge that day, it would have been captured in the videos and photos taken that day.
However, none of the real photos taken by photographers that day showed a penis bulge. The viral photo was evidently edited to add a penis bulge.
I should also point out, again, that Michelle Obama could not have given birth to her two daughters (who accompanied her that day) if she was a transgender woman.
