WSDOT East tweeted about a possible Sasquatch Sherman Pass sighting Wednesday afternoon. "Have you noticed something strange on our Sherman Pass/SR 20 webcam before?" WSDOT said.

The photos gained viral attention, with thousands retweeting, sharing and chiming in on what they thought it might be -- or just having plain...

If you’ve never heard of jackfruit, keep your eyes open: You’ll start noticing it everywhere. Jackfruit is a very large tropical fruit often used as a meat substitute. It packs some nutritional wallop, and the fact that you can cook, chunk or shred it like chicken or pork makes it a go-to main ingredient in many vegetarian and vegan dishes. Its flavor is neutral, and it takes to all kinds of seasonings. Jackfruit is native to India, and also grows in Southeast Asia, Mexico, the Caribbean and South America. It ranges from 15 pounds to a whopping 70. For cooking,...

Just after President Trump’s defense lawyers ended arguments in their Senate trial Tuesday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California became the first Democrat to suggest that she could vote to acquit him, despite serious concerns about his character. “Nine months left to go, the people should judge. We are a republic, we are based on the will of the people — the people should judge,” Feinstein said Tuesday, after the president’s team finished a three-day presentation in his defense. “That was my view and it still is my view.” Still, she indicated that arguments in the trial about Trump’s character and...

Joseph Sakran, a trauma surgeon at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland and a prominent advocate of anti-gun laws, this weekend took to Twitter saying he was threatened because of his activism.

George Soros is 89 years old, but by gosh, before he dies, he’s going to see to the internal destruction of America. At least that’s how it seems. How else can we listen to his words in Davos, Switzerland, track his funding of American political races and pay attention to what he says about President Donald Trump, capitalism, and the leftist causes he backs and the leftist Open Society Foundations he runs, and come to any other conclusion? In the last few years, Soros has taken to trying to take over local law enforcement agencies by pumping massive amounts of...

The young, sandy-haired boy wears a self-satisfied expression. His small hand is clenched as if he is in the middle of a triumphant fist pump. By now, Laney Griner is used to seeing the photo she took of her son in 2007 when he was 11 months old splashed across the Internet or featured in various advertisements. The child’s name is Sam, but for years the world has known him as the popular Internet meme, “Success Kid.” Last week, Griner discovered her son’s copyrighted image in the last place she ever expected to find it: a campaign fundraising ad for...

The Israeli public broadcaster has come under fire from angry listeners after broadcasting an interview with Tony Abbott in which he said the world was “in the grip of a climate cult”. During the interview, recorded on 15 December while his home state of New South Wales was fighting terrifying bushfires, Abbott denied that carbon dioxide was driving global warming. The interview was broadcast on New Year’s Eve in a special show reviewing key international issues of the decade. Abbott said: “While we still seem to be in the grip of a climate cult, the climate cult is going to...

Senate Republicans will hold a special meeting Tuesday afternoon after President Trump’s legal team finishes its opening arguments to hash out their strategy on how to handle the tricky question of subpoenaing additional witnesses and documents. Two Senate Republican sources confirmed that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has called the meeting to get his GOP colleagues on the same page as phase one of the impeachment trial nears its end. Under the trial’s organizing resolution, which McConnell drafted, senators will have 16 hours to ask questions of the House managers and the president’s lawyers before voting on whether it...

Former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly said he believes former national security adviser John Bolton’s assertion that President Donald Trump withheld aid from Ukraine to pressure that country into announcing an investigation of Joe Biden. “If John Bolton says that in the book, I believe John Bolton,” Kelly told the crowd at a lecture series in Sarasota, Florida, on Monday. Bolton’s accusation has become the latest twist in the Senate impeachment trial. A draft of his new book, obtained by The New York Times, says that Trump told Bolton last August that he wanted to freeze nearly $400...

Here is a story that shows progressive policies to be not only destructive, but also depressingly stupid. New York State recently passed a law requiring citizens to obtain a permit if they wish to gaze at the stars in public parks. No, really. You read that right. In New York, you must pay for a license to look at the freaking stars. The Free Thought Project first reported on the story, explaining that “If citizens of the state wish to look up at the sky and view the stars at one of New York’s public parks, they will first have...

Every time the media get called out for their hateful rhetoric and smug disdain for common Americans, they double down on the despicable behavior. When the president’s eldest daughter Ivanka Trump criticized CNN for their segment over the weekend featuring host Don Lemon and hacks Wajahat Ali and Rick Wilson making fun of Trump voters as “credulous boomer rubes,” figures in Hollywood and the mainstream media viciously attacked her. White-haired Godzilla background actor Bradley Whitford took it personally that his CNN friends couldn’t get away with the mean-spirited clown show that was Saturday’s CNN Tonight With Don Lemon. The always-unhinged...

RUSH: There’s gonna be a lot of focus on the audio sound bites today because there are some really great pieces of gold in it, and I want to start with something that happened. It’s audio sound bite number 1, Mister Broadcast Engineer. I, and many others, have opined over the years that it’s not really Trump that the Washington establishment and the Never Trumpers hate. It’s you — you who voted for him, you who continue to support him, you who cannot be persuaded to abandon him. It is you they really hate. It is you they really despise....

BEIJING - The man burst out with a shout at the last second as medical workers boarded a bus headed to Wuhan: “Wang Yuehua, I love you!” He sobbed, gasping, as his wife joined an emergency response team headed to the deadly new coronavirus that has killed at least 100 patients and infected more than 4,500 people across China. Reported cases are rising every day - more than 60% in the last 24 hours alone. A nurse patted the man on the shoulder as he lowered his head, heaving. Another woman came by and murmured to him as he cried,...
