Good day. Welcome to the Daily Article Podcast. Today is Wednesday, September the 13th,

Should money being spent on the war in Ukraine be spent at home for disaster relief instead?

If you believe the disinformation campaign is currently being waged by China and Russia,

falsehoods. The burning man floods triggered an Ebola outbreak and national emergency.

Arkansas is replacing voting machines with paper ballots.

Since vaccines for the flu, measles, mumps, and rubella were developed years ago,

but the diseases haven't been eradicated, immunizations don't work.
