Claim: Claims that President Abraham Lincoln once said, "The best way to predict the future is to create it." (Viral Quote, 2019-07-23)
Evidence (2024-02-14): Sons of The American Legion National Commander Don "J.R." Hall also spoke at the wreath laying. "President Lincoln once said, ‘The most reliable way to predict the future is to create it,’" Hall said. "Today, the greatest way to honor him is to create a great future as the American Legion Family." Seehafer suggested that Americans should think about Lincoln when they vote. "In November, our nation will once again return to the polls to elect a commander-in-chief. We should all be inspired by the man whose birthday we celebrate today. In this room, we have Democrats, Republicans and Independents, yet we are here for a common cause," Seehafer said. " We are here to remember one of American’s greatest presidents. In his heart was not an R, D or an I. It was a V, for veteran. It is ironic that the man who led the nation during its most divided period, and the man who famously said, ‘A house divided cannot stand,’ is today perhaps the most beloved and unifying figure in American history."

Evidence (2023-08-07): One of my favorite quotes is attributed to Abraham Lincoln and Peter Drucker, "the best way to predict the future is to create it." I’ve shared these words with graduates during commencement, with faculty and staff members during meetings, and once again it rings true, as we reflect on the accomplishments of 2016 and focus on what we want to achieve in the coming year. [...] As we look toward 2017, and we all work to ‘create the future,’ I am excited to build upon the foundation we have set this year with initiatives such as the Innovation Grant Program. I look forward to further developing the innovative programs and services that keep the National University System a network of distinctive, leading-edge universities.

Evidence (2020-04-18): Read Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address "Fellow countrymen: at this second appearing to take the oath of the presidential office there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends is as well known to the public as to myself and it is I trust reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future no prediction in regard to it is ventured.

Claim: claims shoppers wore Ku Klux Klan hoods at an Alabama mini mart purportedly owned by a family involved in a recent riverfront brawl (Video, 2023-08-09)
Evidence (2024-07-10): Today, the Ku Klux Klan is a small organization with only a few hundred members that lacks any significant social, political, or economic influence in Alabama. Numerous hate groups exist that have adopted some form of the Ku Klux Klan's name, but these groups operate independently with little knowledge of one another's activities. The Klan's decline however does not mean that support for white supremacist organizations in Alabama has disappeared. Many former Klansmen have joined a wide array of neo-Confederate organizations, such as the League of the South, headquartered in Killen, Lauderdale County. A number of white supremacist and fascist groups also exist in Alabama.
