I saw something on Yahoo News today that I thought was VERY interesting.
It was an article talking about Michelle Obama and the rumors that she is really Michael LaVaughn AKA Big Mike.
The article of course claims there is no truth to those rumors, but I was surprised to see Yahoo run the story at all.
How about you?
In case you missed it, from Yahoo News / AFP here is the full Fact-Check article to give you complete context — how’s that for fair?
Twitter users and websites claim a voter document from the US state of Illinois and a photo of Michelle Obama prove the former first lady is actually a man. This is false; the image is altered, and the Illinois State Board of Elections said it did not produce the purported voter record shared online.
“What happened to Michael LaVaughn Robinson AKA Big Mike?” says a June 14, 2023 tweet from Simon Goddek, whose account was previously suspended for spreading misinformation about Covid-19.
The post includes two photos of Barack and Michelle Obama, one recent and one older.
Claims that Michelle Obama is a man have found traction online for years. In 2021, AFP debunked an image of her necklace that was altered to read “Mike” instead of “vote.”

The picture recently shared online is similarly doctored — Barack Obama posted the original version on Instagram in 2019.
The unaltered photo also appears in “Becoming,” a 2020 Netflix documentary based on Michelle Obama’s memoir of the same name.
“Michelle Obama Registered To Vote As a Man In 1994 According To Illinois State Board of Elections,” says the headline of a July 22, 2022 article, which includes the manipulated picture.
The story also cites voter records that supposedly prove the former first lady once identified as “male” in Illinois, her home state.
But Matt Dietrich, a public information officer for the Illinois State Board of Elections, told AFP on June 20 that the agency “was not the source of the record pictured in the post and has no knowledge of such a record.”
He added: “We have no record of this voter’s registration ever indicating any gender other than female.”
A disclaimer from the People’s Voice, formerly known as NewsPunch, says it “makes no representations about the suitability, reliability, availability, timeliness, and accuracy” of information on its website.
But let’s not leave the story there…

Let’s go a little deeper.
Because Yahoo News claims to have debunked those two documents, and I have no information to suggest the debunk is not correct.
But….
What of Barack Obama’s own brother?
Half brother, to be fair.
Did you know he has continually suggested that Michelle is a man?
Don’t come at me…
That’s not me saying it.

That’s me REPORTING what Malik Obama keeps saying.
Have you seen this?
Malik Obama AGAIN Posts About “Big Mike”
Any time I cover Barack Hussein Obama’s brother Malik, or his comments about “Big Mike” I always give a big disclaimer:
I don’t make the news, I just report it.
And it is most definitely newsworthy when Hussein’s own brother keeps making these posts.
You can garner whatever conclusion you want from that image, but it does appear as though Michelle is towering over Hussein and she has better delts than I could ever hope to have!
This was the THIRD time Malik has posted about Hussein in just the past week.
Here are the others:
Barack Obama’s Brother Calls Him A “Traitor”
Noah here, and if you’re looking for the Complaint Department you can send all complaints directly to Barrack Hussein Obama’s brother, Malik Obama — don’t send them to me.
I’m merely reporting what he just posted.
Don’t shoot the messenger.
But my oh my, can you believe he just said this?
Check out the time stamp: November, 10, 2022:
I don't hate Barack Obama. I'm just upset that he turned out to be what he is. A traitor.
If Hussein’s own family hates him this much, how bad must he really be?
Worse than we even thought?
It’s not the first time Malik has outed his brother…

REMEMBER THIS? Barack Obama’s Brother EXPOSES The Michael/Michelle Rumors?!
Ok folks, buckle up on this one!
We have not made it a mainstay of this channel to focus on rumors like “Michelle Obama is a man” or “Michelle Obama is actually Michael Robinson”….although we have from time to time mentioned it in passing.
We’ve also covered when other news-worthy celebrities have talked about the rumors.
Like this one from Joan Rivers who came right out and said it just days before she died suddenly and unexpectedly:
And even when I cover it in passing or cover Joan Rivers saying it, I take a lot of heat!
I think 90% of people believe it’s likely true, but the vocal 10% get very angry at me.
Well?
Today is vindication.
Because today Barack Obama’s own brother, Malik Obama, just Tweeted about the story and he appears to be giving the wink and the nod to it being TRUE!
I’m not saying it is 100% true, but I am saying Barack Obama’s own brother is tweeting about it with the eggplant emoji and he appears to be all but confirming it.
So if you’ve got a beef, your beef is not with me — it’s with Malik.
Don’t send me your hate mail.
We do our research and it’s very newsworthy that Barack’s own brother just Tweeted this:
And NO! I cannot confirm or deny the legend of BIG MIKE 🍆 AKA Michael Lavaughn Robinson. Folks please don't ask me that question again.
