Biden verklapt dat hij staatsgeheimen verkocht.
Publisher’s rating: Joe Biden maakte een grap over staatsgeheimen; een referentie aan de juridische problemen van Donald Trump. Het deel waarin Biden duidelijk maakt dat het om een grap gaat, is weggeknipt in de video die gedeeld wordt op sociale media.
The video does contain Biden saying that he had sold state secrets, but the fact-check says the circulating clip cuts off the immediate context that makes the remark a joke. The footage came from a June 23 meeting at the White House with technology-company CEOs and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Biden was addressing the press, which had arrived after the meeting had begun; he joked that he had already started and, in the meantime, sold some state secrets. To assess the clip, the review compares the short version circulated by RNC Research with a longer version and the transcript of the meeting on the White House website. In both the longer video and transcript, Biden follows the remark with “all kidding aside.” The review also notes that people around him laugh. It concludes that he was joking, rather than making a genuine admission, and connects the joke to Donald Trump’s legal troubles over alleged retention of classified documents he was supposed to return after his term.
President Joe Biden "literally just admitted ON CAMERA that he sold state secrets."

Moraes bloqueia conta de Bolsonaro que pedia PIX Ex-presidente e apoiadores vinham pedindo vaquinha para pagamentos das multas impostas a Bolsonaro
Publisher’s rating: Falso
The claim concerned a screenshot circulating online that appeared to show Poder360 reporting that Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes had blocked a Pix account associated with former president Jair Bolsonaro. The review places the screenshot amid a campaign that began on June 24, when Bolsonaro allies solicited donations to a Pix account linked to his CPF. It says the screenshot circulated on several social networks and messaging apps, sometimes alongside calls for donations to pay Bolsonaro’s fines. (S1: “No dia 24 de junho, aliados do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro começaram a realizar uma campanha que chamou atenção na internet.”) The review reports that it found no judicial decision by Moraes, in either the Supreme Court or the Superior Electoral Court, that blocked assets in the account named in the donation request. It also says Poder360 had published no report about a blocked Pix account. Instead, the screenshot was a fabrication made by altering a different Poder360 article, possibly by editing the site’s headline and subheading through its source code. These findings directly address both the supposed court action and the screenshot’s claimed news provenance. (S1: “Não há qualquer decisão judicial vinda de Alexandre de Moraes (seja no âmbito do TSE ou do STF) que resulte no bloqueio de bens da conta do ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro que constava no pedido de doações.”; “Na realidade, o print foi uma montagem feita em cima de outra matéria publicada no site.”) The review distinguishes that false attribution from a separate account block: it says a São Paulo court had recently blocked an account belonging to Bolsonaro over fines for violating pandemic rules. According to the article, that action—not a decision by Moraes against the Pix donation account—prompted the appeal for donations. It adds that, at the time described, Bolsonaro could have assets blocked in connection with a TSE fine only if he were convicted and failed to pay. (S1: “A Justiça de São Paulo bloqueou uma conta do ex-presidente por conta de multas por ter desrespeitado normas da pandemia.”; “Como Bolsonaro ainda está sendo julgado por ações no TSE, ele só poderá ter bens bloqueados caso seja condenado a pagar uma multa e não pague.”)
Neophyte Sen. Robinhood Padilla said on June 16 that “the ‘new’ Senate is not taking its job lightly” and “not in the business of comedy” amid the serious problems facing the country, refuting former senator Franklin Drilon’s statement about the lack of proper decorum which could inadvertently erode the chambers’ credibility and prestige.

Warum berichtet keiner drüber, dass in Frankreich das Volk gewonnen hat. Rente Mann ab 62. Rente Frau ab 58.
Publisher’s rating: Es handelt sich um eine Falschinformation. Das Gesetz für die Anhebung des Pensionsantrittsalters wurde im April verabschiedet und ist ab September gültig. Männer und Frauen in Frankreich müssen dann bis zum Alter von 64 Jahren arbeiten.
