A herring is a fish. When a herring is preserved by salting and smoking, it turns red and smells. It's so pungent that it's a great diversion to distract hunting dogs from their trail. Now, a ‘red herring’ refers to anything that diverts attention from the issue at hand.

is this really Monet? certainly looks like AI/Monet with pretty flowers implausible growing in water.

Community note
This is not a painting by Monet. Among Monets work there is nothing that looks like this. It appears to be by a "Dr. Michael Durst" who calls his work "fractal impressionistic artwork". 1) All paintings by Monet: fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_de_… 2) Durst: michael-durst.pixels.com/featured/weepi…

The most fascinating thing about this post is the unanimity of Snopes hatred in the replies. Yet NOT ONE OF THEM show any indication of even having read the fact check, let alone tried to disprove Snopes' evidence-based analysis and conclusion.
Well, well, well… Was his name really Barack Hussein Obama — or was it Jean Paul Ludwig? Let me explain. After digging through records and old documents, something strange surfaced: the Social Security Number 042-68-4425, the one linked to Barack Obama, was originally assigned to a man named Jean Paul Ludwig — a French-born immigrant who came to the U.S. in 1924. He was reportedly given that SSN in March 1977. Now here’s the kicker: Ludwig spent most of his adult life in Connecticut, which explains why his SSN begins with 042 — a prefix reserved for Connecticut residents. Obama? Never lived or worked in Connecticut. So why would he have a Social Security number tied to that state? It gets even more curious. Ludwig reportedly passed away in Hawaii, where Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, just happened to work in the probate office of the Honolulu Courthouse — with access to files of deceased individuals and their personal records, including unused Social Security numbers. The theory is that Ludwig’s death was never properly reported to the Social Security Administration, likely because he never received benefits. That meant his number sat dormant — and accessible. Some believe Dunham may have quietly found a number that belonged to someone long gone — someone not receiving benefits — and handed it off to her grandson, whose citizenship status has long been questioned by skeptics due to connections to Kenya and Indonesia. And that’s just the beginning. If Trump — or anyone else — ever pushes past the birth certificate and straight into the mystery of this SSN, it’s going to be chaos. You’ll see heads spin on the left like never before. Because you can debate birthplaces all day long, but using a Social Security number that wasn’t assigned to you? That’s fraud. This isn’t about politics. This is about the law — and the truth. Let people make their own decisions, but they deserve to know. If you’re reading this and just shrug it off? Then maybe you’re okay with being lied to. But if not, spread the word. Because justice for this country is long overdue. In God We Trust. FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING
