Two men from Portland died searching for Sasquatch during Christmas week, according to officials. Around 1 a.m. on Christmas Day, Skamania County Communications Center received a report from a family member of two people who were searching for Sasquatch and were missing after they had planned to return home on Dec. 24, according to the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO). A "flock camera," also known as a license plate reader, located the men's car off of Oklahoma Road, near Willard, Washington, SCSO said. Over three days, search and rescue resources, including more than 60 volunteers, canines, drones and ground search

Comments:

I have fond memories from childhood hearing 'Bigfoot' stories and seeing blurry/shaky film footage of the creature on TV shows like In Search Of. Apparently, some are still searching, 50 years later.

Sasquatch are obviously very smart to make it appear to be exposure, no wonder there is no good proof they are there.

The best places to search are Martha's Vineyard, Georgetown, and Hawaii. Results will be much better.

A shame that what probably started out as a lark in the woods turned tragic, but it's December in the mountains. Poor planning and inadequate equipment....according to the searchers. Life is all about choices. If you are going out into the mountains in the winter, you had better have a clue how to stay warm, the weather is not a joke. A really GOOD tent and really good sleeping bags are critical equipment, and if you bring inadequate gear, and inadequate skills, this is the result. I've done camping in the mountains, and been snowed in, and gotten wet, and cold. But we had the proper gear, and knew what to do. Hiking in the mountains any time of year is no joke, and it is even more serious in December. It's always a shame for people to learn these lessons the hard way.

So sad. Somebody finally found the mountain hideout of D.B.Cooper, but will get no earthly recognition for it. Snark aside, survival training isn't just a "nice to have" for roughing it in the mountains, especially during snow and freeze season.

It can get awfully cold quickly in the mountains. I have done a lot of camping in order to be on a trout stream early, but soon learned that a good down sleeping bag is more than just a comfortable place to sleep. I live in the South, but if I lived in the colder parts of the country, I would keep a couple in my vehicle in case of a breakdown.

RALEIGH, N.C. — In one of his final acts in office, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper commuted the death sentences of 15 men convicted of murder to life in prison without parole on Tuesday, reducing the state's death row population by more than 10%. Cooper, who was barred from seeking a third consecutive term, will give way to fellow Democrat Josh Stein on Wednesday when Stein takes the oath of office. Cooper, who was previously the attorney general for 16 years, said his commutation decisions occurred following a thorough review of petitions offered by defendants and input from prosecutors and victims'

ATLANTA, Ga. - Over a year ago when former President Jimmy Carter entered hospice care, President Joe Biden said he planned to deliver the eulogy at the funeral. “He asked me to do his eulogy,” Biden said, before stopping himself from saying more. “Excuse me, I shouldn’t say that.” Carter’s death was announced Sunday, and it’s not clear whether Biden’s plans are the same as when he announced them. “I spent time with Jimmy Carter and it’s finally caught up with him, but they found a way to keep him going for a lot longer than they anticipated because they

Homelessness in the U.S. jumped 18.1% this year, hitting a record level, with the dramatic rise driven mostly by a lack of affordable housing as well as devastating natural disasters and a surge of migrants in some regions of the country, federal officials said Friday. More than 770,000 people were counted as homeless in federally required tallies taken across the country during a single night in January 2024, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said in its new report. The estimate likely undercounts the number of unhoused people given that it doesn't include people staying with friends or

New York Governor Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, signed legislation this week that requires major fossil fuel companies to contribute fees to support New York's climate change mitigation efforts. Under the new law, companies with significant greenhouse gas emissions will be required to contribute to a state fund dedicated to infrastructure projects aimed at mitigating future climate change damage and repairing existing impacts. The legislation, approved earlier this year, compels major oil and gas companies to help cover the costs of recovery after extreme weather events.

Congress can reject electoral votes on when they gather to certify them on Jan. 6 because Trump is disqualified from holding office under 14th Amendment, which restricts anyone who took an oath to support the Constitution and then “engaged in insurrection” from holding office, attorneys Evan Davis and David Schulte wrote in a column for The Hill. “The unlikelihood of congressional Republicans doing anything that might elect Harris as

First-term Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) has a little under two years before Election Day, but he’s already preparing to fend off Gov. Brian Kemp (R-GA), who is rumored to be considering challenging him in 2026. Upon his election in 2020, Ossoff made history by becoming the first millennial senator. While Ossoff has voted in line with the Biden administration agenda 97% of the time, he has expressed he would like to work with the Trump administration, calling himself “one of the most bipartisan members of the Senate.” Ossoff won the 2020 Georgia Senate runoff election against then-Sen.

Democrats are boasting that Jimmy Carter's death could overshadow Donald Trump's upcoming inauguration due to a long upheld tradition. Standard protocol states that all flags should be flown at half mast at federal buildings for 30 days following the death of a former president. Carter, the 39th U.S. President, died at 100 years old on Sunday afternoon, almost two years after entering hospice care and just 22 days before Trump's inauguration on January 20. Outspoken MAGA critics and Democrat voters have quipped that the half mast flags during such a pivotal moment are Carter's parting gift to Trump after their longstanding feud.

Climate alarmists like President Joe Biden assure us that all we need do to avert the destruction of hurricanes—or at least to lessen it—is to sacrifice offerings to the climate gods by giving up our gas-guzzling internal combustion engines and paying indulgences to Al Gore or something. You see, humans as a species have sinned, and we must sacrifice our prosperity to prevent the end of the world. Unfortunately for the alarmists, the world stubbornly refuses to end, and even the supposed evidence they trot out as proof of impending doom doesn’t exactly mean what they think it means.
