There are news reports that thousands have already lost power during the ongoing storm.
Winter isn’t backing down.cTwo more Arctic blasts are lining up before January ends — one this weekend, another next week. A fast-moving clipper brings snow, wind, and possible blizzard conditions to the Midwest Sunday, while impactful snow stretches from the Florida Panhandle to Maine.

Democracy comes from the Greek and translates to “rule by the people.” In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln captured this essence of democracy in his famous Gettysburg address, upholding a government “of the people by the people and for the people.” Workers make up the vast majority of the people.

Charlie Brown once anchors the real reason. In the Peanuts special, the gang heads to their celebration while Charlie Brown stays behind to finish a report. The moment underscores a familiar truth: celebration fades, but time spent reading and writing often lasts longer.
Is kindness the quiet substance and the key to survival? Democracy isn't a spectator sport. Whenever government invokes to override rights by setting dangerous precedents, we can't just watch. We must act and speak our minds at the ballot box by voting.
