    Deep in the shadow of Mount St. Helens in 1924, a group of miners claimed they were attacked by massive, human-like creatures in what has since become one of the most infamous encounters in American history: the Ape Canyon incident. This strange and terrifying event has fueled decades of speculation, storytelling, and endless debate. In this video, we'll be diving into the full history of the attack, exploring what really happened during those harrowing nights in the Washington wilderness, and connecting the lore that has grown around it over the last century. The story begins with a crew of seasoned miners working a remote claim. What started as an ordinary expedition soon spiraled into a bizarre encounter with unknown creatures. The miners described hearing heavy footsteps, rocks being hurled at their cabin, and the unmistakable sounds of something circling them in the dark. Then came the night of the assault, when the cabin itself was bombarded and shaken by large figures outside, clawing and beating at the wooden structure. Whether this was a terrifying brush with something unknown or a case of hysteria has remained a mystery ever since. We'll break down the eyewitness accounts, sift through the details of the attack, and look into the cultural backdrop that made this event explode into legend. Was this truly a violent clash between men and something beyond human? Or were the miners misinterpreting natural events in a moment of isolation and fear? Over time, the tale of Ape Canyon has taken on a life of its own, entwined with stories of wild men, mountain spirits, and creatures that walk a line between myth and reality. Beyond the original incident, this event connects to larger ideas that ripple outward into folklore, wilderness survival, and even questions about how humans process the unknown. The more we study it, the more it reveals about our need to explain what lurks in the dark and the limits of what we can truly know. From the chilling details of the cabin siege to the aftermath that left investigators and locals both baffled and intrigued, this is one of those rare stories that bridges history and legend seamlessly. As we explore the lore surrounding Ape Canyon, we'll also speculate about the possibilities that could explain what occurred. Were the miners exaggerating for attention, or did they stumble across something ancient in the forests of the Pacific Northwest? Could the physical evidence they described, like massive footprints and the damage to their cabin, have been caused by natural forces—or something else entirely? These questions continue to spark curiosity to this day, making the Ape Canyon attack one of the most captivating mysteries of the last century. So buckle up, because this story is more than just an old campfire tale—it's a chilling account of survival, fear, and the unknown that still echoes through history.

    Growing up near Boston, Sugar discovered hiking in her early twenties while exploring the White Mountains of New Hampshire. After getting sober at 30, she found herself with the clarity, time and capacity to pursue the life she truly wanted. What followed was a decision to live authentically, prioritise long-distance hiking, and become what she proudly calls a professional dirtbag. In 2021, Sugar set out on the Appalachian Trail. While she knew she was a strong hiker, she also faced the uncertainty of what it would mean to walk the trail as a trans woman. Feeling the isolation of not seeing many stories like her own pushed her to begin writing, speaking openly, and becoming someone other queer and trans hikers could reach out to. Since then, she has become the first known trans woman to complete the Triple Crown of long-distance hiking, founded TrailQTs – a free mentoring programme supporting first-time queer and trans thru-hikers – and in 2024 pioneered the Divide to Crest Route, a 3,000-mile backcountry journey from the Mexican border in New Mexico to the Canadian border in Washington. In 2025, Sugar set a new women's self-supported speed record on the Appalachian Trail southbound, breaking the previous record by more than a day and a half. In this episode, we dive into sobriety, transition, representation, burnout, post-trail blues, building community, and what it really takes to push the body day after day. Sugar also shares practical advice on training, fuelling on a budget, protecting your feet, and why big dreams are built through small, steady steps. This is a conversation about courage, visibility, and creating the path you wish had existed when you started. *** New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time).

    How does the Iran war look to Russia, at once a potential morass for the USA (and Europe) and a case study, many in policy circles feel, on why not to trust Washington. It's also a laboratory for what one Russian military theorist called "non-contact war," and may help shape Moscow's notions of the future of conflict.Then it's home to Moscow's underworld, where a fragile peace holds between Shakro Molodoi and Badri Kutaissky, while younger “thieves‑in‑law” turn old grudges into proxy fights.

    I never thought I'd be glued to my screen watching courtrooms turn into battlegrounds, but here we are in the thick of it with Donald Trump facing off in multiple high-stakes trials. Over the past few days, tensions have boiled over in federal court in Washington, D.C., where U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan just slammed down a firm trial date of March 4 for Trump's federal election interference case. According to ABC News reports from the hearing, special counsel Jack Smith's team pushed hard for a January start to deliver justice swiftly to the public, while Trump's attorneys, John Lauro and Todd Blanche, begged for a delay all the way to April 2026, citing a mountain of evidence—over 11.5 million pages from the government's first batch alone.Picture the scene in that courtroom on Monday: Lauro arguing it's a "miscarriage of justice" and a "show trial," not a speedy one, insisting Trump deserves years to sift through documents stacked as high as eight Washington Monuments, as Courthouse News detailed in their coverage. Prosecutor Molly Gaston fired back, revealing how Trump's team had secretly fought in five sealed proceedings from 2022 to 2023 to block grand jury testimony from 14 witnesses. She pointed out much of the discovery overlaps with public records Trump already knows—like his own Truth Social posts, White House files, and Jan. 6 committee transcripts. Judge Chutkan wasn't having it. "You're not going to get two more years," she told Lauro firmly, noting Trump's "considerable resources" and the public's right to a timely resolution. Politico captured the stark clash: Smith's push for January 2024 versus Trump's wild 2.5-year postponement, which Chutkan rejected outright to avoid dragging into post-election chaos.This isn't isolated. Trump's calendar is a legal nightmare. In Manhattan, District Attorney Alvin Bragg has the hush money case locked for late March, tied to payments to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. Down in Fulton County, Georgia, DA Fani Willis wants Trump in court on March 4 too, facing 41 counts alongside Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and David Shafer for election meddling. And don't forget the classified documents clash in Florida under Judge Aileen Cannon, eyed for May. JustSecurity's master calendar tracks it all, showing how these dates pile up amid Trump's campaign.As I watched the ABC11 clip of Chutkan's ruling, it hit me: Trump's team hopes delays let him reclaim the White House and potentially derail federal cases, though state probes like New York's and Georgia's are bulletproof to that. Chutkan even coordinated with the Manhattan judge to manage overlaps, and she's issued a protective order warning Trump against inflammatory Truth Social rants that could taint D.C. jurors. The charges? A criminal scheme to flip 2020 results via fake electors, Justice Department pressure, and Vice President Mike Pence arm-twisting amid the Capitol riot—all to cling to power.These past days feel like the calm before a perfect storm of verdicts. Will March kick off a trial marathon that reshapes everything? Listeners, thanks for tuning in.

Iranians were first in disbelief but now they dare to dream their country will be free from the brutal Muslim regime of the Ayatollah. Many Iranians who's families fled in the 1970's remember an Iran, in the heart of the Middle East but with Western ideas of promoting individual liberty, democratic governance, and self-rule.

    Washington, District of ColumbiaMarch 7, 1850Daniel Webster — the most celebrated orator in American history — rose in a packed Senate chamber to deliver the speech that would save the Union and destroy his reputation. With the nation tearing itself apart over slavery, and a dying John C. Calhoun having just issued an ultimatum for Southern secession three days earlier, Webster endorsed Henry Clay's Compromise of 1850 in its entirety, including the despised Fugitive Slave Law. The speech bought the country a decade of peace. It also turned Webster from "Godlike Daniel" into a pariah overnight. Emerson compared him to a courtesan. Whittier wrote his poetic obituary while he was still breathing. Not a single New England colleague would publicly support him. Was it the greatest act of political courage in Senate history, or the most consequential moral surrender?

    While Washington has become more hostile to globalization, Americans continue to buy foreign goods in record numbers. Lincicome notes that economic nationalism is “about an inch deep,” with support collapsing when Americans face higher prices for domestic products. The conversation also explores the impact of tariffs on businesses and consumers. Lincicome explains that if certain tariffs are ruled illegal, companies could seek refunds totaling up to $175 billion, potentially through litigation rather than administrative action. Krugman emphasizes that while policy debates grab headlines, public perception and midterm politics may ultimately matter more than the details of trade law or corporate strategy. From the immediate fallout of legal challenges to the broader question of how the U.S. navigates trade and globalization, Bremmer, Lincicome, and Krugman explore the delicate balance between politics, policy, and the economy—and what it could mean for American consumers, businesses, and the upcoming midterms.

    Cuba is facing the greatest existential threat it has seen in decades. Trash is filling streets, because garbage trucks can't make the rounds. Rolling blackouts, rising food prices and cuts to transportation, university classes, and hospitals amid a gas shortage, the likes of which the country hasn't seen in years.US President Donald Trump, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and other officials have made it clear that they aren't interested in anything less than regime change.

    Epstein Files Unsealed: Ken Starr Pleads His Case To DOJ Brass About Epstein's NPA

    Jeffrey Epstein's legal team didn't just negotiate within the normal bounds of the U.S. Attorney's Office in South Florida—they deliberately went over Alex Acosta's head and straight to Department of Justice leadership in Washington. When local prosecutors appeared resistant to the sweeping immunity Epstein wanted, his lawyers escalated the matter to Main Justice, reframing the case as a broader federal concern rather than a local sex-crimes prosecution. That pressure campaign paid off. Senior DOJ officials ultimately signed off on the notorious Non-Prosecution Agreement, an extraordinary deal that shielded Epstein from federal charges and quietly immunized unnamed co-conspirators—a move that short-circuited what could have been a devastating national prosecution and locked victims out of the process.In this episode, newly surfaced correspondence pulls back the curtain on how that deal was engineered at the highest levels, including emails and letters involving Kenneth Starr, one of Epstein's most powerful defense attorneys. The exchanges show Starr communicating directly with DOJ brass, using his institutional clout and legal gravitas to press Epstein's case far beyond ordinary advocacy. Rather than a routine plea negotiation, the correspondence reveals a coordinated, top-down lobbying effort that treated Epstein as a problem to be managed, not prosecuted—raising disturbing questions about favoritism, backchannel influence, and how justice was quietly bent to accommodate one of the most well-connected defendants in modern American criminal history.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00013989.pdf

    As the war between the United States, Israel, and Iran escalates following the February 28 strikes, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper joined A'ndre for a quick chat to assess how the conflict is unfolding and what may come next. Esper discusses how President Donald Trump and his national security team may be evaluating the campaign, the strategic objectives behind the strikes on Iran's leadership and military infrastructure, and what success might realistically look like for Washington and its partners.The conversation also examines the sustainability of the U.S.–Israeli air campaign, the role of munitions production and drone warfare, and how the United States can manage escalation as Iran retaliates across the region. Esper weighs in on the strategic implications of leadership decapitation following the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the widening geographic scope of the conflict, including the U.S. strike on an Iranian vessel near Sri Lanka. He concludes with his assessment of how the conflict could end — and what advice he would give the president at this critical moment.

    Send a textWhat if the fastest path to a balanced budget isn't a new amendment at all, but simply enforcing the one we already have? We sit down with constitutional lawyer Joe Wolverton to dismantle the popular case for a new constitutional convention and to map out a realistic, lawful way to rein in Washington's spending. Joe traces his journey from a military family to constitutional scholarship and lays out a plain reading of the Constitution: enumerated powers are few, and everything else belongs to the states and the people. If federal actors stayed within those limits, the budget would contract dramatically—no new text required.We go deep on the balanced budget amendment pitch and why it misunderstands incentives. If leaders ignore the document they swore to support, adding another line won't cultivate virtue or restraint. Using a clear contract analogy, Joe explains the founders' design: the states are the principals, the federal government is the agent, and acts beyond enumerated powers are void in principle and should be refused in practice. That refusal is not rebellion; it is the remedy in Federalist 46, where states decline to cooperate with unconstitutional programs, starving them of the local machinery they need to function.You'll hear sharp examples of federal overreach—sprawling agencies, expansive taxation, and costly global commitments—with a sober reminder that even well-intended amendments can backfire. The cautionary lessons of the 16th and 17th Amendments loom large, and the risk of a runaway convention is real once the door is opened. Instead of rolling the dice on a rewrite, we make the case for an attainable plan: educate state legislators on their oath, assert reserved powers, and reestablish constitutional boundaries. That's how to make America states again—and how to restore fiscal sanity without gambling the founding charter.If this conversation challenged your assumptions or gave you a new playbook, follow the show, share it with a friend who cares about constitutional limits, and leave a review with the one action you'll take in your state.Support the showhttps://www.jacksonfamilyministry.comhttps://bobslone.com/home/podcast-production/

    Iranians across their own country, in the United States and across the world have been celebrating the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei after coordinated U.S. and Israeli strikes continue. Iranians were first in disbelief but now they dare to dream their country will be free from the brutal Muslim regime of the Ayatollah. Many Iranians who's families fled in the 1970's remember an Iran, in the heart of the Middle East but with Western ideas of promoting individual liberty, democratic governance, and self-rule. FOX's Tonya J. Powers speaks with Nazee Moinian, associate fellow at the Middle East Institute in Washington, D.C. and author of the book, "Narratives of Grievance in Iran's Foreign Policy," who shares her family's story and explains why Iranians are so grateful to the United States and Israel for this military action against tyranny.

    SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWI'm fired up in this episode and honestly there's no other way to start it. I'm angry about what's happening in this country right now and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. Congress just handed Donald Trump enormous freedom when it comes to the conflict with Iran, and the explanations coming out of Washington are almost as disturbing as the vote itself. No clear objectives, no real endgame, and yet somehow the answer from leadership was still “go ahead.”That's where the frustration really kicks in. If the people elected to check presidential power admit they don't understand the strategy behind a war, how in the world do they turn around and give it the green light anyway? I dig into that question and I don't pull any punches about what it says regarding the state of leadership in Washington and why Americans should be demanding a lot more accountability.Then I turn to the bizarre political theater surrounding Kristi Noem and her sudden exit. MAGA supporters are trying to spin it as a promotion, but when you look closely the whole thing feels like another reshuffling inside Trump's circus. The new face stepping in, Senator Markwayne Mullin, brings his own share of contradictions and head scratching moments, and it raises a bigger question about whether any personnel change even matters if the policies themselves don't change.The conversation gets even more serious when we look at the international situation unfolding around Iran. Reports that Russia may be providing intelligence to Tehran could dramatically raise the stakes in this conflict. When another nuclear power starts feeding targeting information into the mix, the strategic picture changes fast. I walk through why that development could push a regional conflict onto a much more dangerous global chessboard.Back here at home the economic signals aren't exactly calming anyone down either. A new jobs report showing ninety two thousand jobs lost, rising gas prices, and a stock market sliding for the second straight day is not the combination you want to see when the world already feels unstable. I break down why those warning signs matter and why ordinary Americans usually end up paying the price when all those pressures collide at once.And just when you think the geopolitical list is already long enough, suddenly the phrase “Cuba is next” starts floating around again. Next for what exactly? Military action, regime change, another round of political theater? We've been hearing versions of this for decades, and I take a step back to ask the question nobody ever seems to answer. What is the actual plan?Finally, the episode closes on a very different note as the country pauses to honor Jesse Jackson. For more than half a century his voice shaped some of the most important moments in American civil rights and politics. Leaders, clergy, and former presidents gathered to pay their respects, and it's a reminder that the power of one voice speaking up can echo across generations.If you've got thoughts about anything I covered in this episode, I want to hear them.

Erik takes us behind the curtain and explains what was happening inside Washington when that decision was made. He shares what factors were being considered, the political pressures surrounding the issue, and why the final decision to delist wolves unfolded the way it did. It's an honest look at a pivotal moment in modern wolf policy that still shapes wolf management in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming today. Just as important, Erik offers practical insight for those of us working to protect wolves and other wildlife today. He talks about what actually moves the needle in politics, how advocates can be more effective when dealing with lawmakers and agencies, and why staying engaged and informed matters.

    The U.S. decision to strike Iran was a victory for Israel, which had been pushing President Trump for months on the need to hit the country. Now, Israel's role in spurring the operation has become a point of political tension. The New York Times journalists Mark Mazzetti and Ronen Bergman discuss what we know about the extraordinarily close cooperation between Israel and the United States. Guest: Mark Mazzetti, an investigative reporter for The New York Times in Washington, D.C., focusing on national security. Ronen Bergman, a staff writer for The New York Times Magazine in Tel Aviv.
