You can still get to your destination, and you probably have more rights than the average passenger. A lot more. “If your flight is canceled because of an inspection that’s presumably required by the Federal Aviation Administration, your airline may provide for hotels, meals, alternate transportation and forgiveness of cancellation penalties,” says Thomas Dickerson, author of “Travel Law” (Law Journal Press, 2008). But before invoking any of those rights, it’s important to find out if your trip is “go” or not....

What concerns me here is that Thomas might be opposed because “he does not speak for the majority of blacks.” I am reminded of the time when some NAACP chapters led a campaign against the film “The Color Purple” because it did not “represent the black experience.” The movie was picketed at the box office, blasted in the press and passed over at the Academy Awards largely because some blacks decided this was not an acceptable portrayal of black life....

While the Trump Campaign litigates to undermine the result and the president continues his frantic Twitter offensive, Biden and his team are turning their minds to uniting a polarized nation and taking on the many challenges of the White House....

Still, his physician, Navy Dr. Sean Conley, concluded that Trump, who turns 74 in June, “remains healthy” and had “no significant changes to report” from last year’s physical. The results come more than a month after the conclusion of his two-part exam, but the White House didn’t provide details about the delay. Conley’s note confirms it was split over two parts—one conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in November, an unannounced visit that was later reported....

According to early data from Nielsen, the the Republicans drew 19.9 million viewers across Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC on Thursday night while last Thursday the Democrats drew 21.8 million. The television numbers were also down for both parties compared to four years earlier, though that’s less meaningful given more people streamed online this time around or simply surfed the internet for highlights. Neither convention seemed quite as exciting as in years past, as the pandemic caused the Democrats to go completely virtual without live audiences, while the Republicans went half-virtual with audiences slimmed way down....

His current average approval rating is 42.6 percent per the tracker, which weights polls based on their quality of research and methodology, giving the president a net approval rating of minus 11....

The Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer teased the possibility of the real existence of a multiverse and with the ending of Wandavision it seems the pieces are in place to bring a long list of new Marvel characters.

Just hours before Kershaw was scheduled to take the mound, the Dodgers announced that the lefty was placed on the injured list because of a balky back. In his stead, super prospect Dustin May handled the pitching duties for the Dodgers. May pitched well, working into and out of trouble before being pulled at 60 pitches....

Most new cars with fobs don’t have alarms, although they may have a variety of security features. In either case, you may want to check all of the paperwork you received when you bought the car for the owner’s manual and any documentation on aftermarket accessories. Used Cars With Aftermarket Key Fobs If you bought a used car that came with an aftermarket key fob, then it’s a pretty good bet that it’s tied into some kind of security system....
