In his speech at the UN General Assembly, President Trump discusses the dilemma of whether to make a deal with Iran that could allow them to rebuild and become a powerful nation, or to take a more aggressive stance by annihilating the Islamic Republic to prevent them from posing a threat in the future. He emphasizes that he believes a deal will be made after the election, as it does not make sense for Iran to wait. Trump also addresses the perception that he is not running for re-election, clarifying that while he is not focused on the election, his agenda for preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons remains paramount. He notes the strategic miscalculation by the world community and the Iranian regime, who may be delaying their actions based on the assumption that the situation will change after the election. Trump's speech highlights his awareness of the geopolitical dynamics at play and his commitment to national security.

Affordability is the issue that will decide the midterms—and the Democrats know it. They're promising to solve it with socialism and free stuff, but we've seen that movie before. Meanwhile, Republicans are actually putting money back in your pocket with tax cuts, energy independence, and deregulation. Is the GOP failing to message this, or are Americans too impatient to see the results. ----- M and M Extra! If you love smart unscripted talk show chemistry, you’re in the right place.

BELLEVILLE, Ontario (AP) — A 29-year-old man opened fire on a police officer stationed outside an Ontario synagogue during Yom Kippur, triggering a shootout involving as many as 30 shots, the province's police watchdog said Monday. The gunfire left the man with life-threatening injuries and seriously wounded a veteran of nearly 13 years with the Belleville Police Service who was recovering in intensive care. The Special Investigations Unit said preliminary evidence showed the man arrived in a truck around 7 p.m. on Sunday and fired at an officer outside the Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville, about 110 miles east of Toronto. The officer returned fire before a second officer arrived and also fired. SIU spokesperson Kristy Denette estimated that 20 to 30 shots were fired and said investigators found dozens of bullet holes along the street, with homes and vehicles struck and some vehicle windows shot out. “It would have been quite, quite the scene indeed,” said Denette. She said the scene appeared to stretch about half a block from the synagogue. Police have not established a motive or said whether the Sons of Jacob Synagogue or the Jewish community was targeted. The SIU is investigating the actions of the officers, while Belleville police are conducting a parallel criminal investigation that will examine the man’s actions and possible motive. Authorities said investigators were still trying to establish the exact sequence of events and were collecting body-camera and police vehicle footage, surveillance video and witness accounts. Deputy Police Chief Sheri Meeks said the wounded officer’s condition had stabilized but that he faced a significant road to recovery. The officer joined the Belleville Police Service in December 2013 and is a longtime member of its Emergency Response Unit, Meeks said. “We remain hopeful and encouraged by this progress,” she said. Meeks acknowledged the shooting’s impact on Belleville’s Jewish community, particularly because it happened outside the synagogue during Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. “Antisemitism, hate and violence have no place in our community,” Meeks said. “Every person deserves to feel safe when attending a place of worship.” Police increased patrols and their presence around places of worship but said there was no ongoing threat to public safety. Belleville Mayor Neil Ellis said it was too soon to say whether the shooting was a hate crime but said “the circumstances are where it happened, when it happened” and that it “points towards that.” “We have a tight-knit Jewish community. We don’t tolerate this in our city or across the country,” Ellis said. “Everyone has the right to feel safe.” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the shooting in a social media post, saying, “Jewish people must be able to worship safely” and “live free, open, proud Jewish lives.” He said the federal government would support law enforcement in ensuring the perpetrator is held accountable. Ontario Premier Doug Ford also condemned the shooting, saying Jewish people “have every right to gather and worship safely and without fear.” The shooting comes months after Carney warned that Canada was failing its Jewish community amid a surge in antisemitism. Carney cited shootings at Jewish schools, firebombings of synagogues and attacks on community centers and Jewish-owned businesses. Synagogues in the Toronto area have previously been targeted by gunfire. In March, shots damaged the entrances of synagogues in Vaughan and Toronto. No one was injured, and police later arrested three suspects.

Two helicopter pilots were killed when their aircraft crashed Sunday afternoon while conducting water drops on a wildfire at Yosemite National Park, officials say. The pilots were the only people on board, and were employed by the contract aircraft company Precision. They were working with a wildland firefighting crew that specializes in using ropes to descend from helicopters to reach otherwise inaccessible terrain, known as helitack rappelling. The Super Puma helicopter was using a water bucket to help suppress the fire when it went down southeast of Ostrander Lake, said Benjamin Cossel, a spokesperson with the Federal Complex Incident Management Team overseeing the firefighting response. Details about the circumstances surrounding the crash were not immediately released. The crash will be investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board. “It is with unimaginable sadness and broken hearts that we share the loss of two beloved members of our team,” Precision wrote in a social media post. “We are devastated by this loss and are struggling to find the words. We ask for privacy and compassion for their families and our team as we grieve this tremendous loss.” The names of the pilots were not immediately released. Roughly 580 people are fighting the Dome Fire, which started Sept. 15 near Wawona, California, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. It's burning on about 4.7 square miles (12.3 square kilometers) and is about 15% contained. The lake near the crash site was roughly 9 miles (14 kilometers) south of Yosemite’s iconic El Capitan, and about 7 miles (11 kilometers) northeast of Wawona. At least 14 people have died while helping with wildfires in the U.S. this year, the most since 2022 when 25 deaths were recorded, according to government reports. In August, two helicopter pilots died while helping fight a fire in Utah, and a helicopter pilot in Colorado crashed into a reservoir. Earlier this month, a firefighter suffered a medical emergency while fighting a wildfire in Oklahoma. Another firefighter in Oregon was hit by a tree that broke while he was cutting it in Mt. Hood National Forest. Also in August, a wildfire officer was killed after getting trapped while evacuating a burning building in a wildland fire in Oklahoma; a firefighter died following a medical emergency during a wildfire in Minnesota; and a bulldozer operator got overrun by flames in Oregon. In June, four firefighters got trapped in a fire in western Colorado. ___ Associated Press correspondent Matthew Brown contributed from Billings, Montana.

At the same time, the state has expanded abortion access later in pregnancy. The juxtaposition raises questions about government’s role in the lives of families—help after birth, or overreach from the same officials who widened later abortion.

Reporters from CNN, MS NOW and Politico were denied access to the White House over the weekend, one day after President Donald Trump announced he was barring the three news organizations over coverage he described as “fake news.” White House reporters Betsy Klein of CNN and Akayla Gardner of MS NOW said Saturday that their press credentials had been deactivated when they attempted to enter the White House grounds. Politico reporter Cheyenne Haslett was also turned away and had her White House credential confiscated. The action followed Trump’s announcement Friday that he was banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House because of what he described as inaccurate and unfavorable coverage of his administration. Trump also suggested additional news organizations could face restrictions. All three organizations have challenged the decision and defended their reporting. CNN called the restriction an “illegal assault” on its rights, while MS NOW and Politico said they would take steps to defend their First Amendment protections. The White House Correspondents’ Association has also called on the administration to restore the outlets’ access. The dispute moved toward the courts Monday, when CNN, MS NOW and Politico announced they had notified the Trump administration that they were filing a lawsuit challenging the restrictions. The organizations argue their credentials were revoked because the White House objected to their reporting and say the action violates their First Amendment rights.

A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and wounded a Venezuelan man during an immigration enforcement operation in Austin on Sunday, prompting calls from local officials for a transparent investigation. The man was identified by his attorney as 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garces Perez. Austin officials said he was shot once in the torso and was hospitalized in serious but stable condition. He was later released from the hospital into federal custody. The shooting occurred on Austin’s north side following a traffic stop and brief pursuit. Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said city police officers were not involved in the federal operation or the shooting. The Department of Homeland Security said Garces Perez entered the United States illegally during the Biden administration and had a final order of removal. DHS said he remains in federal custody pending removal. His attorney has disputed parts of the government’s account of his immigration status, previously saying he entered the country legally and had a work permit. Garces Perez's attorney also said he was working as a DoorDash delivery driver when the incident occurred. DoorDash confirmed he was in the process of making a delivery at the time of the shooting. Homeland Security Investigations is leading the investigation into the shooting with assistance from the FBI. Austin Mayor Kirk Watson has called for Austin police and other outside authorities to have a role in the investigation, saying independent involvement would provide “clear, third-party eyes” on what happened. The shooting drew about 100 protesters to the area Sunday as federal and local authorities remained at the scene. Texas Rep. Greg Casar, whose district includes parts of Austin, also called for transparency in the investigation. Local officials say they are seeking additional information from federal authorities about the circumstances leading up to the shooting.

Patrick Clancy is speaking publicly about the deaths of his three children, the murder trial of his former wife and the intense scrutiny surrounding the case following a mistrial earlier this month. In his first televised interview since the trial, Clancy spoke with CBS News’ “60 Minutes” about his grief and the deaths of Cora, Dawson and Callan at the family’s Duxbury, Massachusetts, home in January 2023. Lindsay Clancy was charged with three counts of first-degree murder. Her attorneys argued she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was not criminally responsible for killing the children, while prosecutors argued she understood what she was doing. Neither side disputed that she killed the children. The trial ended in a mistrial on Sept. 4 after jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict. Eleven of the 12 jurors were prepared to find Lindsay Clancy not criminally responsible, while one juror sided with prosecutors. During the interview, Patrick Clancy described the emotional toll the deaths and subsequent trial have taken on him. He also recalled suffering a panic attack while testifying after jurors heard the 911 call he made after discovering his children. Clancy said he continues to forgive his former wife and believes mental illness was responsible for her actions. He also discussed the importance of raising awareness about perinatal mental health. He also addressed baseless conspiracy theories that have circulated on social media suggesting he was somehow connected to his children's deaths. Clancy said the claims have been harmful to him and distract from what he believes should be the larger conversation surrounding perinatal mental health. Clancy was joined during the interview by his wife, Dr. Rachel Danis. The couple married earlier this year and said they are now preparing to start a family. The Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office has not yet announced whether prosecutors will retry Lindsay Clancy.
