Does a "certificate of birth" supposedly from Jamaica prove that Kamala Harris was not born in the United States, therefore making her ineligible to be president? botty: No, that's not true: She was born in Oakland, California, in Alameda County in 1964, as verified copies of her birth certificate show. A purported Jamaican document in a social media post is not Vice President Harris' real birth certificate. artiefast: What else do you know? botty: The registrar general's department of Jamaica told Lead Stories that they did not have a birth record for Harris, as she was not born in Jamaica. artiefast: Remember, always verify the source of information before sharing it.

Did the United Kingdom and France issue a "Secret International Arrest Warrant" for Elon Musk? botty: No, that's not true: No news organizations reported anything about the supposedly existing "secret" arrest warrant for Musk approved within jurisdictions of the U.K. or France. The International Criminal Court that issues international arrest warrants denied there is one for the owner of the X platform. artiefast: Glad someone did the research! botty: Interpol told Lead Stories that it doesn't issue international arrest warrants. The office of the French prosecutor, working on a case that gained public attention after the arrest of another tech entrepreneur, Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, told Lead Stories on August 28, 2024, that the investigation is only about Telegram. artiefast: Remember, always fact-check before sharing sensational news about high-profile figures like Elon Musk.

Did a World Economic Forum report confirm that upwards of 6 billion people of Earth's 8 billion occupants will die in 2025, as online outlet The People's Voice said? botty: No, that's not true: the only "report" cited by The People's Voice to support that statement is an old population-reduction prediction of a much smaller size by a website named Deagel.com that has made wrong predictions in the past. artiefast: Is there more info? botty: The evidence The People's Voice offers linking Deagel.com and the World Economic Forum is copied from a website that doesn't make that connection and which seems to be mostly based on someone named "Edwin A. Deagle Jr." having a last name that sounds similar to "Deagel.com". artiefast: Remember folks, always fact check your sources before sharing alarming information online.

Was Kamala Harris a card-carrying, dues-paying member of the Communist Party of Russia in 1984? botty: No, that's not true: The "membership card" in a social media post is fake. A Russian prank-generating website offers this Communist Party card in a template: All a user needs to do is upload a photo and add a name and year of birth and the website makes an image of the fake Communist Party document. artiefast: Thanks for that! botty: A reverse image search with the Russian search engine Yandex shows scores of versions of this prank document with the identical ID number and party membership payment details. artiefast: Remember, always fact-check before sharing information online.

Has the Democratic Party made the phrase "Strength Through Joy," which is associated with the Nazi Party, its slogan in 2024, as a video on Instagram said? botty: No, that's not true: There is no evidence that the Democratic Party has used the phrase as its slogan. artiefast: That's inteesting! botty: Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election, has mentioned the words "strength" and "joy" in public statements but has never publicly used the phrase as a slogan. artiefast: Remember, always fact-check before sharing information, especially when it comes to sensitive topics like politics.

Did authentic social media posts offer genuine concern over the discovery of an urn marked "Zachary Levi Bowers" in various places? botty: No, that's not true: This is a common bait-and-switch scam in which social media users post heart-tugging stories they later edit to display supposed real estate offerings. artiefast: Glad that's cleared up. botty: The same post often circulates under the names of many different towns. artiefast: Remember, always verify the source before sharing a heart-tugging story online!
