The Chinese Defense Ministry on Saturday denounced the United States as a “war addict” for launching strikes on Iran, while more temperate Chinese government organs called for an immediate cease-fire.

CHINA:

"The US is a war addict. Throughout its over 240-year history, it has been at war for all but 16 years.

The US has 800 overseas military bases in over 80 countries and regions.

The US is the main cause of international disorder, global turbulence, and regional… pic.twitter.com/0iwS8mqds0

Friday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) said former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was “mistreated” by Republican representatives during a deposition about Jeffery Epstein.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) formally charged two top lieutenants of the Sinaloa Cartel with terrorism and is offering a $10 million reward for information leading to their capture.

This week, the U.S. DOJ announced a superseding indictment naming 42-year-old Rene “La Rana” Arzate Garcia and his brother, 52-year-old Alfonso “Aquiles” Arzate Garcia. The indictment charges the two men with various counts of narco-terrorism, providing support to terrorism, and various drug-related charges. As part of the announcement, authorities announced a $5 million reward for information leading to the capture and conviction of each brother.

The terrorist cartel leader known as El Mencho kept a series of detailed records that show that in the area where he was hiding out, he had several local police forces in his payroll, as well as state and federal investigators also working for him. The records provide additional evidence that further support numerous prior reports from Breitbart Texas about how El Mencho and his terrorist group Cartel Jalisco New Generation had been able to buy influence at all levels of Mexico’s government.

The Oregon House passed a bill this week focused on the implementation of permit-t0-purhcase for firearms and more than doubling the cost of the permits before they are even implemented.

The son of the last Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, called on the country’s military, police, and security forces to abandon the “crumbling” Islamist regime of the Ayatollah amid U.S. and Israeli strikes on Saturday.

The good news is that the truly awful people who staff far-left CNN are unhappy. The bad news is that, in reality, they have no reason to be unhappy. Well, other than the layoffs. Tee hee.
