  • Fact Check: Kamala Harris' California Home Was NOT Bought With Profits From Slave-owner Ancestor

    Fact Check

    Did Kamala Harris buy her California home with money inherited from an ancestor who owned slaves -- one of whom was apparently her own great-great-great-great-grandmother? No, that's not true: It is a bizarre claim used to argue that the Democratic vice presidential nominee is now living off the profits of slavery. Harris shares the same family history of an estimated…

    Fact Check

    Was JFK Jr. spotted at the Fourth of July celebration at Mount Rushmore on July 3, 2020? No, that's not true: John F. Kennedy Jr. died in plane crash in 1999, which makes it a certainty that the son of the 35th president of the United States did not attend the Mount Rushmore speech of the 45th, President Donald Trump.…

    Fact Check

    Does the organic sulfur compound methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) cure stage 4 breast cancer and reverse autism as well as relieve lupus symptoms?
