Winter Storm Threatens Thanksgiving Travel

A late November storm packing snow, high winds, and frigid temperatures is expected to develop out of the Rockies on Tuesday and Wednesday of Thanksgiving week, potentially complicating holiday travel in some areas.

The storm will track north and sweep across the North Plains and Upper Mississippi Valley, delivering soaking rains, snow, 50-60 mph wind gusts, and freezing temperatures as far south as the Gulf Coast.

The storm will intensify over the Great Lakes Wednesday and Thursday, producing high winds that could knock down tree branches and take out power across the central and North Plains, Great Lakes, and Ohio and Tennessee valleys.

Toward week’s end, snow is possible across western Michigan and its Upper Peninsula, western New York, parts of the Ohio Valley, the northern mid-Atlantic, and the interior Northeast.

Tren de Aragua Crime Surges in Tennessee

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is warning residents of Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, and Chattanooga about a surge in Tren de Aragua gang violence.

The notorious gang has expanded criminal activity beyond human trafficking in those areas, and it's now also committing retail crime theft and murder in broad daylight, taking on drug cartels in what TBI Director David Rausch described as “very violent, bloody battles.”

Tennessee Representative and Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee Mark Green released a statement Friday commending the TBI for sounding the alarm and expressing his support for the incoming Trump-Vance administration’s agenda to “restore order at our borders, revamp interior enforcement, and bring safety back to our communities.”

Postmortem on Harris Campaign Heats Up

President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive win over Vice President Kamala Harris has prompted blunt advice for the Democratic party from within and without.

Democratic strategist James Carville blamed Harris’ loss on her support of “exotic” policies and on President Joe Biden not dropping out of the race early enough.

NBA great Charles Barkley, an Independent, blamed the loss on a lack of solutions to immigration and inflation, and he criticized Harris’ strategy of using celebrities to influence voters.

Real Time host Bill Maher criticized Democrats who call Trump supporters “stupid” saying, “I got bad news for you. They don't have a monopoly on stupid."

At least one Democratic leader could see the writing on the wall before Election Day. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized the party’s “woke” positions during a Nov. 2 appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience and said moving forward, Democrats should stop “freaking out” over every move Trump makes.
