"Most heinous human rights abuser": North Korean state media denounced the US for using human rights as a means to pressure other countries and assert global dominance.

"'Human rights' touted by the US are nothing but a trick to easily realize its wild ambition for dominating the world," the KCNA said. "The US is the most heinous human rights abuser in the world that severely disturbs the normal and peaceful development of sovereign states under the pretext of 'human rights.'"

The "hypocritical moves under the cloak of human rights" displayed by the US should be abolished to create a free and prosperous new world, according to the KCNA.

🤨 What causes wildfires? Some may say global warming, while others will say arson attacks. But sometimes a fire can start when a human being decides to boil some bear urine to drink. The unique accident happened in California, when "shaman" Alexandra Souverneva allegedly sparked the Fawn Fire, which has destroyed 41 homes and 90 smaller structures and is threatening 2,340 others.

What does the woman herself think about the case? Do bears poop in the woods? Of course, she has pleaded not guilty.
