Description: People who take Food Stamps are 79% more likely to suffer from hunger than people with equivalent incomes who don’t take Food Stamps. SOURCES: In a recent episode of CBS News, anchor Anne-Marie Green claimed, “So, you know, people should sort of understand that this, the SNAP benefits, were sort of in place to help during the pandemic, but here’s what happened since then, since then. The price of food has gone through the roof, even when, you know, other prices have sort of stabilized or gone down, it’s still super expensive to buy food, particularly healthy food.” https://www.cbsnews.com/news/food-stamps-snap-benefits-cuts-march-2023/ SNAP benefits (previously called Food Stamps) are automatically indexed every year to the prices of food: https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/allotment/COLA SNAP benefits rose by 12.5% at the start of the 2023 federal fiscal year: • In the 2022 fiscal year, “maximum allotments” for a family of four “will increase” to “$835.” https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/fy-2022-cost-living-adjustments • In the 2023 federal fiscal year, “maximum allotments” for a family of four “will increase” to “$939.” https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/fy-2023-cola • CALCULATION: ($939 – $835) / $835 = 12.5% At the start of the 2022 federal fiscal year, the Biden administration raised Food Stamp benefits by 21%, well above the rate of food inflation: https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-23-105450 In the same CBS News episode, anchor Vlad Duthiers claimed, “So, as you are aware, economists have drawn parallels between this policy and reductions in poverty, real reductions.” https://www.cbsnews.com/news/food-stamps-snap-benefits-cuts-march-2023/ The federal government doesn’t include SNAP benefits in its the official federal poverty measure: “The income and poverty estimates shown in this report are based solely on money income before taxes and do not include the value of noncash benefits such as those provided by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Medicare, Medicaid, public housing, or employer-provided fringe benefits.” https://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publications/2020/demo/p60-270.pdf A USDA measure called “very low food security” roughly corresponds to “food insecure with hunger”: https://www.ers.usda.gov/amber-waves/2007/june/struggling-to-feed-the-family-what-does-it-mean-to-be-food-insecure/ Among households who are poor enough to receive Food Stamps, the rate of hunger is 79% higher for people who take Food Stamps than those who don’t: • “Table 8. Percentage of households by food security status and participation in selected Federal nutrition assistance programs, 2021 … “With very low food security … Received SNAP benefits [=] 17.0 … Did not receive SNAP benefits [=] 9.5” https://www.ers.usda.gov/webdocs/publications/104656/err-309.pdf • CALCULATION: (17.0 – 9.5) / 9.5 = 79% Scholars have attempted to explain why “the prevalence of very low food security among households participating in SNAP was double that of nonparticipating households in the same low-income range” by theorizing that those who take SNAP benefits have “greater difficulty meeting their food needs” than those who don’t take SNAP benefits. https://www.ers.usda.gov/webdocs/publications/79761/err-215.pdf Scholars assume the theory above must be true because there’s no reason why giving people Food Stamps could increase hunger: “Using a multivariate logit regression framework, for example, Wilde and Nord (2005) estimate a negative impact of food stamp participation on food security even after controlling for unobserved fixed effects. Given no plausible mechanism through which food stamps would diminish food security, they conclude that their estimated coefficient is biased due to unobserved time-varying household characteristics.” https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/212843728.pdf “Moral hazard” is “the risk that an individual or organization will behave recklessly or immorally when protected from the consequences.” https://www.thefreedictionary.com/Moral+Hazard CBS News footage is reproduced under the fair use provision of U.S. copyright law for “purposes such as criticism” and “comment” (17 U.S.C. §107). https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/107

Contrary to MSNBC, Florida’s “Stop Woke Act” didn’t stop a college from teaching civil rights. Just the opposite—the act requires that civil rights be taught. SOURCES: On 3/24/24, MSNBC host Alex Wagner reported that Eastern Florida State College is canceled a “U.S. government class after a student cited discomfort during a discussion on civil rights” and that “the class was canceled under the umbrella of Governor Desantis’ Stop Woke Act, which specifically banned the teaching of any lesson— especially those about race and racism—if the lesson makes any student feel discomfort.” https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1640081313855094790 Florida’s Stop Woke Act (Bill 7, 2022: “Individual Freedom”) doesn’t contain the word “discomfort” or any language that vaguely approximates what Wagner stated. Instead, the law prohibits public schools and colleges from teaching students that they are inferior, “superior,” “oppressed,” “privileged,” or guilty “by virtue of his or her race.” https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2022/7/BillText/er/PDF#page=9 Wagner also reported: “And here’s what that looks like in real life. [Eastern Florida State College student Jacob Dailey is shown claiming], ‘The topic was civil rights, no specific bit of it, just in general, as far as I’m aware. And so the teacher basically had to cancel this class of about 20 students in total because of the student’s discomfort.” Due to ongoing legal challenges, the Stop Woke Act has not been implemented at Florida colleges and universities yet. But confusion and concern are already widespread as teachers from elementary, to high school, to college reevaluate the way that they teach and apparently what they teach.” https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1640081313855094790 The Stop Woke Act doesn’t even prohibit the teaching of the racial tenets of leftism as long as it is done “in an objective manner without objective endorsement of the concepts.” https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2022/7/BillText/er/PDF#page=11 Wagner also reported, “In the meantime, a college established during the civil rights era has to figure out whether it can even teach students about the civil rights era.” https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1640081313855094790 The Stop Woke Act requires schools to teach the history of African Americans, including the “ramifications of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping,” along with “slavery, racial oppression, and “racial discrimination.” https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2022/7/BillText/er/PDF#page=15 MSNBC footage is reproduced under the fair use provision of U.S. copyright law for “purposes such as criticism” and “comment” (17 U.S.C. §107). https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/107

Progressives blame “systemic racism” for high rates of poverty among black people, but comprehensive facts disprove that narrative.

CBS News misled its viewers to believe that the U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate of all wealthy nations and then deceitfully blamed a lack of abortions and an abundance of racism for this. SOURCES: CBS Evening News’ recent “in-depth” report on maternal mortality: https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kevin-tober/2022/08/17/cbs-falsely-equates-abortion-bans-high-maternal-mortality-rates A 2016 paper in The Lancet titled “Global, Regional, and National Levels of Maternal Mortality, 1990–2015” documents these facts: • “Despite knowledge of its importance, only a few countries using ICD-10 reliably code late maternal deaths. This is especially egregious because many of the same countries who have completed multiple confidential enquiries also have not recorded a single late maternal death in their official statistics. Denmark, Ireland, Finland, and the UK all fall into this category. Australia, France, and South Africa likewise completed multiple confidential enquiries and have recorded a total of eight maternal deaths combined in the entirety of their official statistics.” • “The USA … is also one of the only countries that has proactively improved its civil registration system with addition of a pregnancy checkbox on the standard death certificate….” https://www.thelancet.com/pdfs/journals/lancet/PIIS0140-6736%2816%2931470-2.pdf A 2020 report by U.S. Government Accountability Office documents that the U.S. defines pregnancy-related deaths to include “the death of a woman while pregnant or within 1 year of the end of a pregnancy— regardless of the outcome, duration or site of the pregnancy—from any cause related to or aggravated by the pregnancy or its management, but not from accidental or incidental causes.” https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-20-248 A 2017 article in The Economist titled “Is Pregnancy in America Much Deadlier Than in Other Rich Countries?” reports: • “The question is harder to answer than you might think.” • In rich countries, these deaths are tallied from vital-registration systems which in turn compile data from death certificates. These, however, are known to undercount maternal deaths, partly because doctors must select a cause of death from thousands of codes. They are more likely to consider the subset reserved for medical problems caused by pregnancy when the form has a checkbox asking whether the woman had been pregnant. America added this checkbox to its standard death certificate in 2003” and “a recent study found that its growing use accounted for 80% of the steep rise in maternal mortality recorded in 2000-14. Although many maternal deaths that would otherwise go unrecorded are now tallied thanks to the checkbox, it is also often marked erroneously—showing recent pregnancy on the death certificates of women who died in their 50s, for example.” • “According to data from death certificates, America’s rate is 21 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births. In Britain, which does not use the pregnancy checkbox, the rate is four to five times lower. It is a rate that British health authorities do not consider reliable.” • “In America this type of detailed system, run by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), counts maternal deaths that occur up to a year after pregnancy. (Deaths resulting from pregnancy, such as suicides caused by post-partum depression, can strike many months after delivery.) By that measure, America’s maternal mortality rate in 2011-13 (the latest period for which data have been published) was 17 deaths per 100,000 live births. Maternal deaths tallied in the same way in Britain for 2012-14 result in a mortality rate that is almost exactly the same.” https://www.economist.com/united-states/2017/08/05/is-pregnancy-in-america-much-deadlier-than-in-other-rich-countries News reports, as well, as the testimony of Charles Johnson in a medical negligence lawsuit surrounding Kira’s death all show that abortion played no role in this tragedy: https://www.nbclosangeles.com/investigations/wife-died-giving-birth-change-laws-to-protect-more-women-pregnancy-related-deaths/2395401/ https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/cedars-sinai-medical-center-los-angeles-lawsuit-black-woman-c-section-death/ https://docs.house.gov/meetings/IF/IF14/20180927/108724/HHRG-115-IF14-Wstate-JohnsonC-20180927.pdf Association does not prove causation, and this fact is commonly taught in high school: https://www.justfacts.com/immigration#association_causation http://www.corestandards.org/wp-content/uploads/Math_Standards.pdf#page=81 Studies show that women who have an abortion are much more likely to die young than those who deliver a child: • “Increased risks of death were 45%, 114% and 191% for 1, 2 and 3 abortions, respectively, compared with no abortions after controlling for other reproductive outcomes and last pregnancy age.” https://academic.oup.com/eurpub/article/23/4/569/427991 • “The mortality was lower after a birth (28.2/100,000) than after a spontaneous (51.9/100,000) or induced abortion (83.1/100,000).” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0002937803011360 • “Compared with women who delivered, those who aborted had a significantly higher age-adjusted risk of death from all causes (1.62), from suicide (2.54), and from accidents (1.82), as well as a higher relative risk of death from natural causes (1.44), including the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) (2.18), circulatory diseases (2.87), and cerebrovascular disease (5.46).” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12190217/ Obesity, HIV, and high blood pressure increase the risk of maternal mortality: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0020729211600040 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3678884/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4445352/ Based on four different methods that produced roughly the same results, a 2019 paper in the Annals of Family Medicine found that “social and behavioral factors”—not “deficiencies in health care access or delivery”—are the main drivers of life expectancy disparities in the United States: https://www.annfammed.org/content/annalsfm/17/3/267.full.pdf The lowest rate of maternal mortality in the U.S. is not among white women or Asian women but Hispanic women: https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-20-248 Victim mentalities reduce the willpower needed to make positive changes: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1503530112 CBS News footage reproduced under the “fair use” provision of U.S. copyright law for “purposes such as criticism” and “comment” (17 U.S.C. §107). https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/107

Correction (11/4/21): At 3:26, this video incorrectly states that “Pfizer is not supplying an RCT in its emergency use application for its Covid-19 vaccine” in children. This statement was based on two Pfizer press releases (September 20 and September 28) that announced “positive topline results from the pivotal trial” for this vaccine in young children and that Pfizer was submitting these results to the FDA to seek “authorization” for this age group. Both press releases said nothing about an RCT or placebo. Instead, they reported that the vaccine showed a “favorable safety profile” and “robust neutralizing antibody responses.” A sure way to cause more tragic deaths is to adopt a “prevent at all costs” mentality to only one type of lethal threat without considering all of the others. Unlike dogmatists who do just that, this broadcast candidly discusses risks and benefits of vaccinating children for Covid-19.

Does the U.S. Constitution require that all people born in the U.S. have a right to U.S. citizenship? Rigorous documentation of all facts in this video is available at https://www.justfactsdaily.com/birthright-citizenship-debate/ TRANSCRIPT How much do you really know about birthright citizenship? A major point of controversy is whether US born children of illegal immigrants and temporary visitors should automatically be granted US citizenship. Is this a Constitutional right or not? Let’s take a closer look with Just Facts’ question of the week. Does the 14th Amendment award U.S. citizenship to all people born in the U.S.? Yes or No? The correct answer is “No.” In addition to being born in the United States, the 14th Amendment requires people to be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States in order to become citizens. The congressional record brings even more clarity. Jacob Howard, the U.S. Senator who proposed this language, stated, “This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.” Howard also said, “the word ‘jurisdiction,’ as here employed, ought to be construed as to imply a full and complete jurisdiction on the part of the United States …. that is to say, the same jurisdiction in extent and quality as applies to every citizen of the United States now.” The 14th Amendment was adopted to guarantee that the Civil Rights Act of 1866 was constitutional. This law gave citizenship to people of every race and color “without regard to any previous condition of slavery or involuntary servitude….” It’s important to note, that This Civil Rights Act also explicitly excludes people who are “subject to any foreign power….” You can verify the primary sources by clicking the link in the description.
