Good Morning! On this day in 1870, President Ulysses S. Grant signed an act to readmit Virginia to the Union after the state ratified the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.

At the time of writing, the power was still on at The Virginia Flyover headquarters near Richmond. That wasn't the case for lots of folks, though.

Read the latest on the weekend storm in Top Stories, then take our Poll to let us know whether you lost power. Hit reply to tell us how you stayed warm and passed the time.

With just 15% of shares remaining, The Flyover's current fundraising round is nearing its end, and the window to participate is closing fast. Most people miss this moment, so don't be one of them and invest now. More details below.

Guys don't usually compare skincare products at work—until eye bags, wrinkles, and dark spots show up uninvited. That's when Particle Face Cream started circulating around The Flyover. A few team members tried it, and the response was immediate: skin feels softer, looks smoother, wrinkles are less noticeable, and eye bags shrink. We're not easily impressed. But when something actually improves how your face looks, it earns attention. Particle did exactly that.

Most People Miss This

We want to be very straightforward with The Flyover readers.

In the final days of an investment round, almost everyone is paying attention—but very few people are still able to act.

Just days ago, we announced there are 10 days left to invest in The Flyover. Today, that window is even smaller.

With roughly 15% of shares remaining, we are now in the final allocation phase of this round.

This is the part most people miss.

Not because they don't believe in the company.
Not because they don't support the mission.
But because they assume there will be more time.

There won't be.

Once the remaining shares are allocated, this round closes—regardless of the calendar.
No extensions.
No reopening.
No second chance.

What makes this moment different isn't persuasion—it's availability.

The Flyover is already what most media startups never become:

Profitable
Growing rapidly
Trusted by millions of readers and viewers
Built without corporate sponsorship or political donors

That part isn't theoretical. It's already true.

What is still optional—for a very short time—is whether you are an owner as the next phase of growth happens.

We are actively expanding:

Into more states
Into deeper audio and video
Into products like texting and The Flyover app
Into a larger, more durable media company built for the long term

Those plans are being funded right now.

The only remaining question is who is still able to participate before this round closes.

If you've been waiting for a clearer signal—this is it.

With roughly 15% of shares remaining, this is the final allocation window.

Once they're gone, there are no more shares in this offering.

Winter Storm Hits Virginia

A dangerous winter storm moved across the Commonwealth over the weekend, dumping snow on Saturday and freezing rain and sleet yesterday. The system brought less snow than had been predicted. Loudoun County saw the most, with about six inches.

As of yesterday morning, state police had responded to hundreds of car accidents on the ice-slicked roads, and authorities warned that travel would be nearly impossible.

The system left thousands of homes without power. More outages are possible as the weight of ice brings down tree branches and power lines.

About 300 Virginia National Guard personnel were staged across the Commonwealth in the hours before the storm arrived to support rescue and recovery efforts. Federal disaster funding is already available to Virginia.

Feds Plan Third Virginia ICE Facility

The Department of Homeland Security told Hanover County officials it intends to purchase a warehouse there and use it as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing facility that could reportedly hold up to 1,500 detainees.

The county has 30 days to respond, and the Board of Supervisors is expected to discuss the matter at its Wednesday meeting.

"This is not a project initiated by the County," Hanover announced on its website.

ICE operates two detention facilities in the Commonwealth, one in Caroline County and another in Farmville.

Bills Target VMI Leadership

Del. Michael Feggans, a Democrat, introduced a bill that would eliminate the Board of Visitors at Virginia Military Institute and place VMI under the supervision of Virginia State University's board instead.

"The bill reflects broader, longstanding concerns about whether VMI's current governance structure meets the standards the Commonwealth expects," Feggans said. He insisted the measure preserves "VMI's mission, military structure, and academic role."

A separate bill would go further, forming a task force to investigate whether VMI should remain a state-sponsored higher education institution.

VMI leaders intend "to work with our elected officials to demonstrate VMI's progress and value to the Commonwealth of Virginia," a spokesperson said. "The citizen-soldiers the institute produces are the epitome of value, and we plan to continue that mission."

You may have already seen Particle Face Cream featured on Fox News. That's not hype—it's recognition. This is men's face care built to address real problems: eye bags, wrinkles, dark spots, and worn-down skin. Particle combines six proven anti-aging ingredients into one straightforward product. It hydrates, smooths fine lines, reduces puffiness, and helps your face look more rested and healthy.

Several Flyover staff members put it to the test. The verdict was clear. "My skin feels much softer, and I've definitely noticed wrinkles being smoothed out."
Products that deliver noticeable results are rare. Ones that are easy to use consistently are even rarer. That's why we're recommending Particle to our readers. It works.
