Claim: "The last administration oversaw the largest increase in murders ever recorded." (Joe Biden, 2024-05-24)
Evidence (2024-09-23): After the prior Administration oversaw the largest one-year increase in murders ever recorded, President Biden and Vice President Harris took historic action from the start of their Administration to reduce violent crime. Because firearms are used in approximately 80% of murders in the United States, addressing gun crime is essential to addressing violent crime. The President and Vice President secured funding through the American Rescue Plan-which every Republican in Congress voted against-for law enforcement and community violence interventions. President Biden and Vice President Harris announced executive actions to keep guns out of dangerous hands and, by the middle of 2022, the Biden-Harris Administration had already taken more executive action to reduce gun violence than any other administration. On June 25, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act-the most significant new gun violence prevention law in nearly 30 years. Year-over-year comparisons show that 2023 had the single largest homicide rate drop in recent history.

Evidence (2024-05-29): Since 1978, the New International Version of the Bible has been revised twice, most recently in 2011, "reflecting new archaeological findings, current biblical scholarship and changes to the English language," according to HarperCollins, which owns the Bible’s publisher Zondervan. Some passages and verses were relocated to footnotes in the New International Version to better reflect older and more reliable biblical manuscripts, the publisher said.

Evidence (2024-06-14): A post shared on Facebook claims HarperCollins removed 64,575 words in the NIV and ESV Bibles after acquiring the publishing rights. [...] "NIV was published by Zondervan but is now OWNED by Harper Collins, who also publishes the Satanic Bible and The Joy of Gay Sex.

Zondervan, a subsidiary of HarperCollins, responded to the claim in a separate Facebook post in July 2015 in a comment. The company explained that the "missing verses" are actually located in footnotes. "During the exacting translation process for the NIV Bible, some verses were found not to be included in the oldest or most reliable manuscripts that the NIV translators had available to use," the post reads, in part. "When those verses could not be verified by the more reliable or older manuscripts, the NIV translators moved them to a footnote to reflect greater accuracy."

Claim: HarperCollins “removed 64,575 words from the Bible.” (Facebook posts, 2024-05-29)
Evidence (2020-11-16): On 11 July 2015, musician Erica Campbell shared a post on Facebook inferring a conspiracy by Harper Collins regarding the New International Version of the Bible. She claimed that 45 verses and 64,575 words had been removed from the New International Version Bible (NIV). [...] "Holy Ghost" is found 89 times in the KJV New Testament, while the NIV translates this as Holy Spirit. As for the word omnipotent (meaning all-powerful) found once in the KJV in Revelation 19:6, "Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth." The NIV correctly translates this as, "Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns." Almighty is a synonym for omnipotent and is more easily understood in 21st century English. So the suggestion that 64,575 words had been removed from the New International Version Bible is simply incorrect.

Evidence (2023-07-12): Did the NIV Delete 64,575 Words? [...] HAS THE NIV REMOVED 64,575 WORDS FROM THE BIBLE? [...] So, did the NIV translators remove words that are in the KJV? Yes. Their goal was to translate the original intent of the biblical writers in fewer words. Did they undermine or take away from the biblical meaning in doing so? No. (Translating between languages is always dynamic and never just word for word. The best translator in any setting can communicate the literal meaning with fewer words.)
