China has vowed to retaliate if the US accuses China of leaking covid from its lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. China contests that the coronavirus came from Fort Detrick in Maryland, and it has some sick beats to back that claim up. According to a research lab in Canada, Apple is helping the Chinese Communist Party censor what people can write on their phones in Taiwan (sidenote: why is one of China's dead leaders on the list of forbidden terms?). And there is concern in a Michigan community that Chinese fentanyl—I mean fluoride—is being used in its drinking water. China is also exporting a lot of fentanyl to the US, although as far as we know it's not being used in drinking water. Watch this episode of China Uncensored for that and more of this week's China news headlines.

The United States has conducted an airstrike against Islamic State in the Afghan province of Nangarhar, just over a day after members of the terrorist group killed more than 180 at Kabul's airport.

The drone strike is understood to have successfully executed one member of Islamic State thought to be involved in planning attacks in Kabul, according to the US Central Command. On Friday, at least 169 Afghans and 13 US military officers were killed in suicide bombings by members of ISIS-K, an Islamic State affiliate. It's believed there were no civilian casualties as a result of Saturday's retaliation.

Despite no cases of COVID-19 in the entire South Island, it will stay in level 4 lockdown until Tuesday, partly in response to continued traces of COVID-19 in wastewater in Christchurch.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said people may ask why the whole country, especially the South Island, has to stay at level 4 until Wednesday.

Jesus fucken christ... it is just completing the 2-week incubation cycle of the virus, making sure it is not in the South Island. There have been cases that symptoms show up on the 12th day of quarantine. So people would rather have it go rampant ...

Isn’t it interesting how much lower the bar is for bureaucrats than the private sector? 

Even our sports teams get more scrutiny. Imagine if Ashley Bloomfield was an All Black coach.
