AVL flights canceled, travelers urged to check with airlines

Flight Cancellations at Asheville Regional Airport Amid Widespread Service Outages Travelers Should Call Airlines for Most Current Information ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — Asheville Regional Airport halted all flights Saturday afternoon and by Sunday morning, all of Delta's flights before noon on September 29 were canceled. Partly due to widespread internet and cellular outages affecting the region, the airport cannot immediately report on updates either, authorities said. "We'll do our best to update you on Facebook as often as we can, but bear with us here as services are still pretty unreliable," it said. With officials expecting more delays and cancellations in the next two days, it would be wise for passengers to maintain communication with their airlines before heading to the airport regarding any possible updates of flight statuses. While the airport was kept open to ensure take-offs and landings, various technical issues experienced by the airlines did not let the...

Netanyahu Sets the Agenda in the Middle East, Not Biden

Image
U.S.-Israel Tensions: The Biden Administration's Struggle to Influence Netanyahu Amid Rising Middle East Conflict A Powerless U.S. in the Middle East? During the past few weeks, the United States had appeared helpless in the face of gale-force winds spreading violence throughout the Middle East as Netanyahu continued military operations even after direct appeals from President Joe Biden to rein in tensions. Netanyahu's stubborn refusal to back down to the perceived U.S. insistence on an end to its acts of aggression in Lebanon has brought severe question marks to the already- apparent dwindling influence of America in this region, as the White House was left incapable of directing the course of events or bringing the conflict from metastasizing any further. At the heart of the newest crisis stands the Israeli assassination of Hezbollah's longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah. The airstrike, which killed him and several other top Hezbollah leaders in the southern Beirut suburb,...

Is BJP the only democratic political party in India?

Image
Is the BJP the sole democratic political party in India? No, the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party)  is not the only democratic political party in India. India is a vibrant democracy boasting a multi-party system  that allows multiple political parties to participate in electoral processes at both national and regional levels. The variation of these parties symbolizes the wide cultural, linguistic, and ideological expanse in the country. Although the BJP is one of the strongest national parties, several other political parties are instrumental in deciding what the current politics of the country will be. There are essentially two types of parties-the national parties that directly participate in the nation's politics, and various regional parties that mostly have an interest in the specific localities. National Political Parties Apart from the BJP, there are several other national political parties in India, which conduct their election campaigns at the Centre. Although these partie...

What are some reasons that people may consider Fox News to be worse than other news channels like CNN and MSNBC?

Image
The Story of Fox News vs. CNN and MSNBC: Unraveling the Controversy and Perception of It. Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC are three of the leading news agencies in the United States, while yet each of them occupies a unique status in the spectrum of politics and public perception. Fox News, for instance, is perceived more unfavorably than CNN and MSNBC by those who sympathize with the left or are centrists. Although all major news networks are criticized, Fox News takes criticism to a different level. Even though audiences may cast aspersions at CNN and MSNBC, too, there's something peculiarly polarizing about Fox News. It might be because of its editorial slant, the nature of the programming it puts out, or a huge influence it has on political discourse. In this paper, we'll discuss some of the reasons why many see Fox News as more problematic than its peers. The list runs long and includes reputation for reports made strong and indicative of misinformation, its role in escalating po...

Harris possesses a firearm? Trump is proposing limits on credit card interest rates? As the campaign enters its final phase, the divisions between parties begin to fade.

Image
One presidential candidate champions gun rights and pledges strict border security, while the other focuses on capping credit card interest rates and mandating insurance coverage for in vitro fertilization.  Can you guess which is the Democrat and which is the Republican? As the election intensifies in its closing weeks, the traditional boundaries of party policy are becoming less distinct. Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are working to broaden their support. The outcome may depend on how many disenchanted suburban Republicans back Harris, as well as how much of the Democrats' core groups—like African Americans, Latinos, young voters, and union members—shift their allegiance to Trump. This shift is leading both candidates to adopt positions that would have previously alienated their supporters, challenging long-held beliefs about party identities. “There are many issues that attract people to support President Trump, and honestly, these were once fundamental concerns for the Dem...
