Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warns that the Israeli regime’s strikes against Syria will escalate tensions in the region and push it to a “dangerous abyss.”
Speaking to reporters during a briefing on Friday, Zakharova said Russia condemns the recent Israeli aggression against the Mediterranean coastal city of Baniyas in the northwestern province of Tartous.
She added that the Israeli aviation carried out the strikes late on Monday “under the pretext of arms depots located there.”
“We categorically condemn such irresponsible actions. They increase the probability of the spread of the Middle Eastern conflict, and push the region to a dangerous abyss,” the Russian spokesperson said.
Western North Carolina is synonymous with the Blue Ridge Mountains, a rich Appalachian history, and world-renowned tourist destinations.
In fact, over the last 2 years, Asheville Regional Airport has pumped more than 2 million visitors in and out of the Asheville area. However, Asheville is also becoming synonymous with a few other things as of recent — violent crime, an exploding homeless crisis, and an affordability problem.
For the purposes of this op-ed, we will focus on the violent crime and homeless crisis.

Asheville’s police department has been understaffed for several years. This directly followed the 2020 George Floyd riots, which brought hundreds of protesters into downtown Asheville, along with hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to local businesses. Ironically, many of those same downtown local businesses decided their best move was to sign a letter condemning the police department as racists and Nazis for what happened in Minnesota. Taking the hint, 39% of Asheville’s police officers realized that now was the time to throw in the towel.
The narrative of all cops being “racists” and “Nazis” was now fully engrained into the minds of most on the far left. And with no support from the community, and more specifically the city council, cops retired and quit at a rate never seen before. About 40% of the force was gone in an instant. Maybe one of the worst things we saw during the protests was when far-left activists delivered a casket filled with dirt and manure to the front door of the police department.
Finally, there’s the novelty solution to this fine mess: “Joe Biden” stays in the race, bumps Kamala, installs Barack Obama in the veep candidate slot, they romp, then somewhere around January 21, 2025, “JB” bows out. . . and cazart! It’s back to the Good ol’ days with President Obama again! What a play! Genius! You see, the 22nd Amendment only says: No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice. Doesn’t say anything about getting elected veep and then being elevated to president by happenstance. If that doesn’t save our democracy, I don’t know what will.
