A “perfect winter storm” does not come along often. Conditions had to be just right to create a monster like Winter Storm Fern, and it will not be forgotten any time soon. Historically cold temperatures will combine with a gigantic amount of precipitation to create blizzard-type conditions over much of the eastern half of the nation. Some areas will be buried by mountains of snow. Other areas will see record amounts of ice. And life-threatening cold is expected to stretch all the way into the middle of next week. This is an emergency situation, and it should be treated as such. Those that venture out in this storm are risking getting stuck on the side of the road, and if you get stuck on the side of the road in this weather you could rapidly find yourself in a life or death situation. In the coldest parts of the country, if the power grid goes down and you don’t have another way to heat your home, you could potentially freeze to death inside your own house. We haven’t seen a winter storm of this magnitude in a long time, and those that choose not to take it seriously do so at their own peril.  The following are 13 shocking facts about Winter Storm Fern that are almost too crazy to believe… #1 We are being warned that 230 million Americans are about to experience “significant snow and/or ice”… According to The Weather Company forecasters, Fern could affect over 230 million in the U.S. with significant snow and/or ice, two-thirds of the nation’s estimated population. Either heavy snow or ice is forecast for 34 states from the storm, from Arizona to the Midwest, South and New England. Its impacts will linger for some time after the storm ends. #2 According to Accuweather, it felt like it was 52 degrees below zero in Minneapolis on Friday morning… Arctic air is on the move, expanding to the south and east across the United States. On Friday morning, the low temperature in Minneapolis was 21 degrees below zero with an AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperature of 52 degrees below zero. “This is the cold Arctic air that’s making it possible for the precipitation to fall as freezing rain, sleet or snow to the south,” Dr Reed Timmer, Extreme Meteorologist, said. “It’s starting to freeze my beard and nose hairs.” #3 If you can believe it, early this morning wind chill temperatures hit 58 below zero in Langdon, North Dakota and Brooks, Minnesota… Cold air has blasted into the central United States, sending wind chills plunging to as low as minus 58 degrees in Brooks, Minnesota, and Langdon, North Dakota, on Friday morning. A combination of cold temperatures and windy conditions were conspiring to produce widespread wind chill readings in the negative 50s across parts of Minnesota and North Dakota, the weather service reported. Wind chills in the minus 15 to minus 21 range occurred across Kansas and west into Colorado. #4 It is being projected that Canada will be the coldest place on the entire planet this weekend… #5 16 states plus the District of Columbia have already declared a state of emergency… At least 16 states have declared a state of emergency as the storm nears: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Washington, D.C., has also declared a state of emergency. #6 A vast stretch of the eastern half of the nation is expected to receive at least a foot of snow, and New York City is right in the middle of the danger zone… #7 According to the latest information that I have, 2,300 flights have already been canceled so far… More than 2,300 flights within, into or out of the U.S. scheduled for Saturday have now been canceled ahead of the storm, with Dallas’ two airports hit the hardest. #8 AccuWeather is estimating that 6,000 flights will have been canceled by the time this crisis is finally over… AccuWeather experts are predicting extreme nationwide travel impacts through Monday, with 6,000 U.S. flight cancellations expected over the weekend. #9 In anticipation of this storm, natural gas futures suddenly spiked by over 70 percent… Waves of bitterly cold air will send temperatures tumbling across the United States, including a fresh push of Arctic air in the wake of the impending winter storm. Natural gas prices have spiked due to the forecast, with contracts for US natural gas futures rising by more than 70% this week, the biggest weekly price hike since 1990, CNN reported. #10 Many southern cities that normally do not experience this sort of weather are very unprepared.  For instance, the city of Jackson, Mississippi has exactly zero snowplows… The number of snowplows owned by the city of Jackson, Mississippi, where a mix of ice and sleet is possible this weekend. The city uses other heavy machinery like skid steers and small excavators to clear roads, said James Caldwell, deputy director of public works. Jackson also has three trucks that carry salt and sand to spread across roads before freezing weather. #11 We are being warned that the damage in areas that get absolutely hammered by ice “could rival that of a hurricane”… Forecasters warn damage, particularly in ice-hit areas, could rival that of a hurricane. An estimated 160 million people are under winter storm or cold weather watches or warnings, and in many locations, both. #12 Over the past couple of days we have witnessed voracious “panic buying” throughout much of the nation.  For example, just check out what the shelves look like at a Trader Joe’s location in Washington D.C. right now… #13 Once the snow stops falling that won’t be the end of it.  Meteorologist Ryan Maue is warning that temperatures 35 to 45 degrees below normal are expected well into next week… Over the next week –> Arctic Blast 1.0 and Arctic Blast 2.0 merge into Super Arctic Blast that will entomb the Eastern U.S. into a frigid hellscape. Temperatures 35°F to 45°F below normal will cripple east of the Mississippi. This is all-time historic vintage cold. Maue is also encouraging everyone to take this crisis very seriously… You should be prepared for extended power outages with subzero temperatures outdoors. Think about where you can go, what you can do, and who needs even more help to survive this week ahead. This is not hype or a joke. I couldn’t have said it better myself. Unfortunately, it is inevitable that some people out there will take very foolish risks over the next several days and will end up dead. The good news is that eventually the snow and cold will pass. But I am convinced that the absolutely insane global weather patterns that we have been experiencing are only going to get even crazier.

Tens of thousands of pro-life demonstrators filled Washington, D.C., on Friday for the 53rd annual March for Life, an event that once again drew national attention as participants rallied around the 2026 theme, “Life Is a Gift.” The march proceeded from the National Mall toward the U.S. Supreme Court, with crowds composed of families, school groups, church communities, and college students moving in steady formation despite the brisk winter weather. Among the most intriguing visuals of the day were the signs marchers carried—an enduring hallmark of the event. Many featured concise, Scripture-based messages such as “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you” and “I am fearfully and wonderfully made,” while others showcased hand-drawn illustrations designed to emphasize the humanity of the unborn. These standout designs, ranging from bold text to detailed artwork, helped define the atmosphere of the march and underscored the personal motivations of those participating. The strong turnout year’s signage contributed to what organizers and observers regarded as a successful demonstration. With tens of thousands participating and the event’s theme prominently reflected throughout the march, the 2026 gathering underscored the continued momentum of the pro-life movement and its ability to mobilize supporters nationwide.

The massive crowd gathered in Washington for Friday’s March for Life. But what was the pro-life movement like in the early days after Roe v. Wade? Pro-life activist and former president of the Charlotte Lozier Institute Chuck Donovan joined Jack Fowler to discuss the surprising “diverse” coalition of the early post-Roe, pro-life movement, as well as more contemporary battles within a now post-Roe world on this edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Subscribe to VDH’s own YouTube channel to watch past episodes.

Did ICE Detain A Five Year Old?

Bill O’Reilly said on his website that he is “recovering from some stomach stuff” after disclosing he was dealing with an unspecified illness earlier this week. “Dealing With A Malady” – Bill O’Reilly Discloses Illness "Greetings, No Spin Nation! Your tour guide is okay and recovering from some stomach stuff. We are open on the website and very happy the Greenland invasion is not happening, but Sri Lanka better watch it," O'Reilly said. Greetings, No Spin Nation! Your tour guide is okay and recovering from some stomach stuff... https://t.co/VIwJyztA59 — Bill O'Reilly (@BillOReilly) January 23, 2026 O'Reilly wrote on his website: Amazing good wishes have arrived here in New York City, and it’s hard to describe my gratitude. I am planning a jail break out of the medical facility where there are more than a few Concierge Members. That’s major. If USA Today finds me, I’m toast. Working on the first broadcast back because there’s nothing else to do here except watch hysterical local TV news coverage about snow generated by global warming. Also, Mayor Mandami won’t give the kids a snow day unless they blame the frozen precipitation on capitalism. Have an invite to go to church with Don Lemon, but might be too risky. Who knew the depth of his spirituality? Another No Spin update on Sunday. Stay safe. The NSN is the best! “Hey No Spin Nation. Sorry I am dealing with a malady. We have great doctors so we’ll fight the good fight. Doesn’t affect my fingers so will update you on me, news cycle, and anything major. Hopefully, back in the saddle shortly,” O'Reilly said earlier this week. Veteran television host Bill O’Reilly announced that he had an unspecified illness in an update on his website. pic.twitter.com/o4nuTR95gc — NEWSMAX (@NEWSMAX) January 21, 2026 More from the New York Post: O’Reilly hosts his own, “No Spin News,” weeknights at 8 p.m. ET on TheFirstTV.com and DirecTV. He is also a frequent guest on NewsNation. NewsNation host Chris Cuomo said Tuesday that O’Reilly would not make his scheduled appearance on the show. “He is sick,” the host of “CUOMO” said during the show. “He’ll be back soon.” O’Reilly has been the host and producer of “No Spin News” since he was fired from Fox News following a New York Times report that alleged he and the network paid nearly $13 million to settle cases with five women going back 15 years. “It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims,” O’Reilly said in a statement after the network axed his show. “But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today.” He has continued to maintain his innocence.

It’s hard to believe this video is real….but it is. In fact, here are the details, as confirmed by Grok: Yes, the video is real and authentic. It shows an excerpt from a press conference held on January 21, 2026, at the Minnesota State Capitol, where 23-year-old Somali American U.S. citizen Nasra Ahmed spoke about her recent two-day detention by ICE agents in St. Paul. The footage captures her describing what it means to her to be Somali American, using the “bananas and rice” reference as a metaphor for cultural fusion amid stereotypes. The clip has not been manipulated or fabricated—it’s a genuine part of the event, though it’s edited to focus on that specific portion of her remarks. The full context involves her recounting alleged racial profiling, use of force (resulting in a concussion and visible bandage), and a racial slur during her arrest. I’m just going to present this without comment.

Last year, JD Vance gave his first official speech as Vice President of the United States at the annual March for Life rally. Today, he returned to the rally, where he announced some big news. In a huge pro-life victory, the U.S. government is cutting off all funding to foreign non-government organizations (NGOs) that promote abortion. Watch VP Vance’s announcement here: Backup here, if needed: AWESOME: VP JD Vance Says U.S. Will End Funding for NGOs That Promote Abortion Abroad” Vice President JD Vance said the United States will block federal funding for international organizations that perform or promote abortion overseas, marking a shift in U.S. foreign aid policy… pic.twitter.com/ypeqzCb2n2 — Noah Christopher (@DailyNoahNews) January 23, 2026 Specifically, the Trump administration is expanding the “Mexico City” policy, which was first put into place by Ronald Regan and prevents U.S. aid from going to organizations that support abortion abroad. NBC News has more details: The Trump administration will expand the “Mexico City” policy that restricts U.S. aid to foreign organizations that provide or promote abortions to include advocates of “radical gender ideologies” and diversity, equity and inclusion policies, Vice President JD Vance announced Friday at the March For Life. “Now we’re expanding this policy to protect life, to combat DEI and the radical gender ideologies that prey on our children,” Vance told the crowd in Washington, D.C. Vance added that the Mexico City policy was being increased to “about three times as big as it was before, and we’re proud of it, because we believe in fighting for life.” NBC News has reached out State Department for more details on the expansion of the funding restrictions. The policy, which has been referred to as the “global gag rule” by pro-abortion groups, already blocked U.S. funds from going to foreign organizations that provide, counsel or refer patients for abortion services in their own countries, even if the activities are lawful and supported entirely with non-U.S. funds. The policy was first implemented by President Ronald Reagan in 1984 at a United Nations conference in Mexico City to prevent U.S. foreign aid from being used to promote abortion in other nations. The funding restriction has been rescinded by Democratic presidents since it was implemented and reinstated by Republican presidents, most recently when Donald Trump returned to office in January of last year. This administration is doing so much to protect the innocent lives of unborn children. What a win! VP JD Vance’s full speech at this year’s March for Life was fantastic.
