President Donald Trump on Wednesday fired off a pair of tweets aimed at the New York Times after the paper changed a widely derided front-page headline on his remarks about two mass shootings. Trump argued that the original wording was the “correct description” of his speech.
“‘Trump Urges Unity Vs. Racism,’ was the correct description in the first headline by the Failing New York Times, but it was quickly changed to, ‘Assailing Hate But Not Guns,’ after the Radical Left Democrats went absolutely CRAZY!” Trump tweeted. “Fake News – That’s what we’re up against…”
Trump added, “After 3 years, I almost got a good headline from the Times!”

A Palestinian man who faced death threats after saving the lives of Israeli children following a terrorist attack that killed their rabbi father was awarded Israeli residency by Interior Minister Aryeh Deri on Tuesday.
The unnamed 28-year old man and his wife, who has a nursing degree, were traveling in the vicinity of their home near Hebron on July 1, 2016, when they encountered the overturned vehicle of Rabbi Miki Mark and his wife, Chava, which had gone off the road near Otniel after being sprayed with bullets in a terrorist attack.
Rabbi Mark was killed and Chava Mark seriously wounded in the attack.

Eight Mexicans were among the 22 victims of Saturday’s mass shooting in El Paso, and Mexico is now exploring an unusual legal recourse: seeking the extradition of an American for a crime carried out on American soil.
Mexico has long used legal action to resolve international disputes, analysts say, but requesting the extradition of an American is unlikely to succeed as long as U.S. authorities continue pursuing a criminal case against the 21-year-old suspected shooter.
“At the end of the day, I would be very surprised if the U.S. government were to agree to it,” said John Bellinger III, who served as the State Department’s legal adviser under the George W. Bush administration.

Israel’s Defense Ministry has authorized plans for the construction of more than 2,300 homes in Jewish communities in Yehuda and Shomron, following sessions of the Civil Administration’s High Planning Subcommittee on Monday and Tuesday.
According to reports, 838 homes passed all stages of construction approval, with another 1,466 approved in the early planning stage. The majority were approved for smaller Jewish communities as opposed to major blocs.
The permits will provide retroactive legalization to Givat Salit in the northern Jordan Valley; Ibei Hanahal in the Judean Desert southeast of Bethlehem; and Haroeh Ha’ivri east of Yerushalayim, which was approved for an educational campus.

Rep. Michael Turner, R-Ohio, whose congressional district includes Dayton, where nine people were killed in a mass shooting over the weekend, endorsed a ban on military-style weapons Tuesday, going further than many of his GOP colleagues on stricter gun laws.
The mass shooting, which came some 13 hours after a deadly mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, was personal for Turner, not only because it occurred in his district but because his daughter and a family friend were at a bar across the street from where the shooting began.
“As they ran home, I followed their progress & prayed for them & our community. Thank you to @DaytonPolice for their bravery in stopping this evil,” Turner tweeted Sunday morning.

President Trump on Tuesday morning addressed former President Obama’s statement about the mass shootings last weekend, tweeting a quote from “Fox & Friends” co-anchor Brian Kilmeade criticizing the former president’s response to mass shootings during his presidency.
Trump tweeted the quote shortly after Kilmeade expressed dismay with Obama’s statements regarding the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, over the weekend that left at least 32 people dead. The former President said that Americans should “reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of fear and hatred and normalizes racist sentiment” in a statement that appeared to be a less than subtle jab at President Trump.”

The FBI said Tuesday it had launched a domestic terrorism investigation into the shooting rampage last week at a Gilroy, California, food festival, which left three dead and more than a dozen others injured.
Investigators say they found that the 19-year-old shooter had delved into “violent ideologies” and held a list of possible targets across the country, including religious institutions, political organizations linked to both major parties, federal buildings and courthouses, said John Bennett, special agent in charge of the FBI’s San Francisco office, at a news briefing Tuesday. He declined to identity them.

With the mass shootings still fresh on the minds of so many around the nation, protesters locally are making sure Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell hears them loud and clear.
Between 20 to 30 people demonstrated outside of his Highlands home Monday night after they say the senator hasn’t been answering his phone and protesting is the only way.
One protester told WHAS11 News that this just isn’t a response to El Paso and Dayton but about a variety of issues ranging from gun control, immigration and minority rights.

In the wake of the shootings, Obama on Monday issued a lengthy statement urging Americans to reject leaders who feed “a climate of fear and hatred.”
“We should soundly reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of fear and hatred and normalizes racist sentiment,” he said. “Leaders who demonize those who don’t look like us, or suggest that other people, including immigrants, threaten our way of life, or refer to other people as sub-human, or imply that America belongs to just one certain type of people.”
Obama did not mention Trump by name, but his words amounted to an implicit rebuke of Trump.
