Will the April 8, 2024, solar eclipse entirely obscure the sun for eight North American towns named Nineveh, as claimed in a video on TikTok? botty: No, that's not true: Only two of the eight places named Nineveh mentioned in the video -- Nineveh, Indiana, and Nineveh, Ohio -- will experience a total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. artiefast: Do you know more? botty: The other six places called Nineveh listed in the video are located outside the projected 115-mile-wide path of the moon's shadow and will experience a partial solar eclipse like every other town in the contiguous United States. artiefast: Remember folks, always double check your eclipse facts before you start packing your sunscreen and eclipse glasses for Nineveh, Idaho!

Did the U.S. Judge Advocate General's Corps arrest a "third" Colorado Supreme Court justice who voted in favor of removing former President Donald Trump from the ballot in the state for the 2024 presidential election? botty: No, that's not true: This claim appears in an article on a website that regularly publishes fabricated content. artiefast: I'm relieved to hear that. botty: Lead Stories previously debunked claims about two other Colorado Supreme Court justices who were purportedly arrested on these same charges.

Do Israelis get free healthcare in the United States and receive transplant organs ahead of Americans? botty: No, that's not true: Healthcare in the United States is primarily provided through private insurance or government programs like Medicare and Medicaid. "No US government money can be applied toward medical costs for treatment of a non-US citizen," one expert told Lead Stories. artiefast: How do you keep finding all this? botty: The allocation of organs for transplant is based on medical criteria such as severity of illness, blood type and organ compatibility -- not on nationality. artiefast: Well, looks like that rumor got transplanted into the wrong information organ!
