Trump is fighting Iran with strategic clarity — and America is winning

Operation Epic Fury is the right war at the right time. And, informed by Bush and Obama/Biden Administration failures, it is being fought in the right way.

Critics left and right make similar arguments: "Illegal war of choice," "unwinnable quagmire," "war makes the mullahs more extreme," and even "Trump is a Jewish puppet." These criticisms, and many who offer them, are detached from reality.

First, Epic Fury is a right and just war. Since 1979, the Islamic Republic of Iran has owed the American people a blood debt. But until now American policymakers have generally failed to collect this debt much less effectively manage the regime's ongoing threat to U.S. interests, regional peace, and international economic stability. This is partly due to the regime’s dangerous "revolutionary" Islamic supremist ideology that drives Iran’s aggression against the United States and Israel; justifies its brutal internal repression and foreign adventurism, including massive investments in the Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthi, and Iraqi terrorist groups; and drives its development of advanced offensive ballistic missile, drone, and nuclear weapon capabilities. A rational actor would not spend billions subsidizing terror tunnels and missiles in Gaza and Lebanon when its own citizens lack clean water and reliable electricity. But the mullahs, like other "revolutionary" authoritarians, have different incentives.

IRAN IS NOT A NORMAL NATION YOU CAN MAKE DEALS WITH; IT’S A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT

Second, Epic Fury was launched at a uniquely favorable time because the regime has never been weaker.

Historically, the mullahs relied on geography, oil revenue, and regional proxies for strategic deterrence. U.S. and allied diplomatic and military options were constrained by the possibility that the regime could close the Strait of Hormuz and disrupt international oil supplies, and by the fact that the utility of our economic sanctions were cabined by the robust commercial demand for Iranian oil and the political influence of the nations and networks that moved Iranian money. The Islamic Republic’s proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Bashar al-Assad’s dictatorship in Syria shielded Iran from its regional foes.

DISTRESS CALL CAPTURES TANKER UNDER FIRE, IRAN SHUTS HORMUZ TRAPPING THOUSANDS OF SAILORS

But President Trump’s American energy dominance policy and rejuvenated U.S. military have essentially rendered Iran’s geography and oil resources a strategic nullity. Similarly, the regime’s proxy shield has been undone. Israel convincingly defeated Hamas and Hezbollah, then decimated Iran’s military and scientific leadership and fatally degraded the regime’s strategic air defense capabilities in the June 2025 "12 Day War." Assad fell, and the Houthis yielded to a combination of American resolve and punishing military strikes. And thanks to the U.S. blockade, economic sanctions, and strong diplomatic engagement with the Gulf Arab states and China, the Iranian economy is rapidly collapsing. The mullahs have been left naked and bare.

Third, this war is being fought the right way.

Writing for Tablet magazine, the commentator Michael Doran describes the President as steering between "two wrecks" — the first, George W. Bush’s regime-change war in Iraq, and the second, Obama/Biden’s appeasement program of paying the mullahs for quiet, indulging their regional and nuclear aspirations, preventing Israel from dealing hard blows to Hamas and Hezbollah, and calling it peace.

Doran is generally correct.

FINISH THE JOB: WHY A HALF WAR WITH IRAN IS THE MOST DANGEROUS OUTCOME

Epic Fury is certainly not the Global War on Terror. Epic Fury has strategic clarity: The President has made it clear Iran will not have a nuclear weapon, will not threaten international shipping, and will not, directly or through proxies, attack other states in the region. Accordingly, the United States and its allies have focused on eliminating imminent threats posed by Iranian missiles, naval forces, nuclear infrastructure, and the security apparatus that enables proxy terrorism, while decapitating the regime’s leaders and maintaining crippling pressure through unprecedented maritime interdiction and financial sanctions. Success is measured by killing the enemy, destroying his ability to attack Americans and our allies and partners, and terminating the economic sources of his war machine. No American forces are tasked with reconstructing Iranian society or reconciling its factions.

By contrast, the GWOT was crippled by incoherence in its target, means, and ends. Even the GWOT’s name was nonsensical, employing the word "terror" as a euphemism for Islamic radicalism. On the ground, political "nation-building" objectives expanded without clear connection to the strategic goal. American forces, tasked with responsibility for local governance and security, were left to endure two decades of combat under crippling and ineffective rules of engagement. After more than 7,000 American deaths, 50,000 American wounded, and over five trillion in American taxpayer spending, the end was not democracy and social change in the Middle East, it was Biden’s Afghanistan retreat.

ROUND ONE OF IRAN FIGHT WENT TO THE US MILITARY. BUT ENDING THINGS IS MUCH HARDER

Epic Fury is also most assuredly not a continuation of the failed and morally bankrupt Obama/Biden appeasement policies: President Trump has acted decisively and effectively to ensure Iran will never have a nuclear weapon. The Obama/Biden policy was to pave the way for the Iranians to develop such a device and provided sanctions relief and other payments as they went along.

Operation Epic Fury is strategically sound and magnificently executed. America has air supremacy. Much of the Islamic Republic’s political and military leadership is dead. Layered defensive networks have significantly mitigated the threat from Iranian ballistic missiles and drones and the blockade of vessels bound for or departing Iranian ports has choked Iranian oil exports and commercial trade. Treasury’s "Economic D-Day" has put into place unprecedented secondary sanctions targeting the mullah’s bankers, digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping severing every economic lifeline that sustains the Iranian regime and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. And at every step, the Trump Administration’s close cooperation with Israel and our other regional friends and partners has been a significant force multiplier.

History teaches that the end phase of war against a fanatical, despotic enemy is difficult and unpredictable. But President Trump has proven that he, uniquely, has the courage to stay the course and the will to finally settle the mullahs’ account. The truth is this: The United States is winning.

The world is debating sanctions against Israel. I am watching young warriors rebuild their lives

Last week the British government banned imports from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, and the foreign secretary told Parliament that London should have moved sooner. Eleven other countries signaled they would follow. 

In response, Israel barred a group of British lawmakers and ordered the U.K. consulate in east Jerusalem closed. You can argue that policy either way, and people will do that for months.

Let me be honest about my own reaction. I was not surprised.

Not by Britain. Not by the countries lining up behind it. Not by the language that arrived with it. I have spent enough time in this line of work to know when the mood turns, it turns in many places at once. It has turned in London and Paris and Sydney. It has turned on American campuses and in American arenas. It has turned in the comment sections under stories about my organization that have nothing to do with politics at all, stories about a man learning to walk again.

BRITAIN’S DRAMATIC CRACKDOWN ON ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS SPARKS FIERCE RESPONSE AS US BLOWBACK LOOMS

So I am not going to spend this column cataloging the hate. Others do that work well. I want to tell you what I deal with instead, because it is the better story and it is the more important one.

Here is my week.

There are more than 90,000 IDF disabled veterans, creating the largest rehabilitation effort in Israel's history. Since Oct.7 and through "Swords of Iron," the number of wounded warriors has grown faster than at any point since 1948, and they are younger than any generation before them. 

Most were called up as reservists and were wounded while serving in the reserves — they had a business to run, a thesis to finish a baby at home. Now many carry a psychological injury alongside the physical one — which means nobody in the parking lot can see it at all.

A 24-year-old who loses a leg is not just facing a hard year. He is facing sixty years of prosthetics, revisions and physical therapy, alongside a marriage, a mortgage and a career he fully intends to have. In my field, a lifetime is not a figure of speech.

‘NO JEWS, NO NEWS’ STRIKES AGAIN AS SELECTIVE COVERAGE OF THE 'UNSETTLERS' FUELS ANTI-ISRAEL ANGER

People assume this makes me bitter about the boycotts and the sanctions and the noise. It does not. It makes me impatient with it, which is different. The argument has become the one place where everyone participates and nothing gets built.

I care about words, by the way. Enormously. Just not those.

SIGN UP FOR ANTISEMITISM EXPOSED NEWSLETTER

We keep a terminology guide in our organization and we enforce it. We do not say disabled soldiers. After injury, a person is a "Wounded Warrior", a "Zahal Disabled Veteran," a Beit Halochem member. 

We do not say a veteran suffers from PTSD. He is coping with it, living with it and the gap between those verbs is the gap between a man defined by an injury and a man managing one. We never say returning to normal life, because that phrase quietly informs a 24-year-old that his real life ended on a Tuesday in October and everything after is a consolation prize. We say rebuilding their lives, because that is precisely what is happening in front of me.

That is what careful language is for. Not winning an argument with a stranger online — it's handing a person back their dignity.

And the rebuilding is the story nobody is fighting over, which is the real scandal, because it is the best story available.

At Beit Halochem, the nationwide network of rehabilitation centers in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, Beer Sheva and Ashdod, the swimming pool is full by seven in the morning. 

A rehabilitation journey starts in that water and does not end there. Psychological support and treatment, delivered without shame and without a two-year wait. Vocational training and scholarships, because a man who cannot return to his trade needs a new one.

Programs for spouses and their children, who carry this too. Sport at a serious level, which is why so many of Israel's Paralympic athletes come out of these gyms. And a room full of people who have been exactly where you are and who will not let you vanish into your apartment.

A Beit Halochem member who could not raise his arm in January hung a medal around his daughter's neck in June. A warrior living with PTSD spoke for the first time to a circle of men who understood him before he finished the sentence.

Those are not miracles. Those are Tuesdays.

After 75 years as Beit Halochem USA, we recently became "Warriors of Israel." That is not a marketing exercise. It is the plainest description of the people we serve and of what they are still doing at seven in the morning. Our promise is four words: their sacrifice, our responsibility.

Americans ask me constantly what they can do about the headlines. Arguing on the internet is not the only option available to you, and it is not the most useful one.

Boycotts are subtraction. A government can ban a crate of produce but no government on earth can ban a young man learning to swim again, and no one has yet found a way to sanction a scholarship, a prosthetic socket or an hour with a therapist. Those things get built, or they do not, and that depends entirely on whether people decide to build them. In a story where almost nothing is within your control, that part is.

The pool opens at seven. It will be full again tomorrow.

Trump brings new heat to controversial UN agency as alleged Hamas ties engulf scores of employees

President Donald Trump recently amplified a report about a U.S. government investigation that referred more than 100 current or former UNRWA employees over alleged ties to Hamas — as a new watchdog report accuses the U.N. agency of overstating how much it has reformed.

The scrutiny, which included Trump sharing the report on Truth Social in August, comes as Geneva-based UN Watch released a report Monday challenging UNRWA’s claim that it has completed 41 of the 50 reforms recommended by an independent review led by former French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna.

UN Watch says that when it compared UNRWA’s claims with what Colonna actually recommended, at most 13 of the 50 reforms had been completed as prescribed. The group argues that UNRWA repeatedly counted drafting policies, launching pilot programs or creating plans as completed reforms even when full implementation had not occurred.

UN AGENCY ACCUSED OF HAMAS TIES SEES ANOTHER EUROPEAN NATION CUT FUNDING

"UNRWA is grading its own homework — and giving itself credit for reforms that exist mainly on paper," UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer told Fox News Digital. "A policy is not a reform if it is ignored, unenforced or blocked by staff unions dominated by Hamas."

Among the examples cited in the report is staff vetting. UNRWA lists a "Commercial Vetting Pilot & Costed Plan" as completed, along with other screening measures. UN Watch argues that a pilot and implementation plan do not amount to a fully operational outside vetting system.

The report also challenges UNRWA’s education reforms. UNRWA lists systematic textbook reviews and randomized classroom inspections among completed steps, while a policy prohibiting problematic educational content is still described as "in progress."

Colonna herself said when presenting her review in April 2024 that some educational content remained problematic, citing "glorification of jihad," incitement to violence and maps that did not show Israel, while calling for a zero-tolerance approach.

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TOUTS MORE THAN $1B IN UN BUDGET CUTS AS REFORM PUSH GAINS MOMENTUM

Pressed by Fox News Digital at Tuesday’s U.N. briefing over who independently verifies whether the reforms are actually working on the ground, U.N. spokesman Stéphane Dujarric defended the process.

"It is not just checking boxes for the sake of checking boxes," Dujarric said, "It’s about the implementation of those things."

Dujarric said UNRWA regularly reports to the General Assembly, holds integrity meetings open to member states and gives governments opportunities to scrutinize what the agency is doing.

WATCHDOG DEMANDS APOLOGY AFTER UN MEMORIAL ERRONEOUSLY HONORS HAMAS TERRORIST

Asked specifically about staff screening, he said UNRWA relies in part on countries where it operates.

"We rely on the member states also, where we operate, who have the capacity to check people to do so," Dujarric said, adding that UNRWA shares staff lists with Israeli, Jordanian, Lebanese and Syrian authorities. "If there are concerns, they need to be shared directly with UNRWA. When they are, they take action."

The Colonna review was commissioned by U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres in February 2024 after allegations that UNRWA employees had participated in the Oct. 7 attacks. Guterres accepted all 50 recommendations in April 2024 and agreed with UNRWA leadership to establish an action plan to implement them.

Neuer rejected the idea that the disagreement is merely about terminology.

"This is not a semantic disagreement over the meaning of ‘completed,’" he said. "UNRWA says the job is done, yet teachers tied to terrorist organizations remain in classrooms, Hamas-dominated unions obstruct discipline, and children continue to be exposed to incitement. Those are real-world consequences, not technicalities."

MLB's most electric slugger just had one of the slowest, most disrespectful walk-off home runs of all time

Tampa Bay Rays phenom Junior Caminero is making a serious run at the AL MVP, but all fans saw Tuesday night was quite possibly the slowest walk of all time.

Maybe this is what hitting a "walk-off" home run truly means? I don't know. If so, the 23-year-old nailed it.

EX-MLB PITCHER GIVES HIS TAKE ON METS RELIEVER JEFRY YAN'S WILD STRIKEOUT SPLIT CELEBRATION

Caminero hit his second walk-off in the span of five days Tuesday against the A's, wrapping his 41st home run of the year around the right field foul pole to win the game, 2-1. The superstar slugger is now hitting .279 this season to go along with the 41 dingers, along with 96 RBI and a nearly .900 OPS.

For most of the season, the AL MVP has been Yordon Álvarez's to lose. And the Houston slugger hasn't lost it, by any means.

But Caminero is on the verge of ripping it away — and his home run trot after Tuesday's walk-off may have sealed the deal.

Take a look:

Goodness gracious. I grew up watching David Ortiz absolutely milk home run trots, but I'm not sure I've ever seen one quite like that. Are you even allowed to touch the runner before he hits home? They're all just high-fiving him down the first base line.

We grew up being SCOLDED if we dared touch a batter before he touched home. It was basically a sin.

Apparently, that's just a myth — at least in the MLB rulebook. A deeeeeeeep dive actually revealed that there is no rule in MLB on this, but it's actually pretty strictly enforced down in the college ranks.

ASTROS PLAYER BELTS HOME RUN, ROUNDS THE BASES AND THEN GETS DEVASTATING NEWS AFTER TOUCHING HOME

Rule 5, Section 2 states: After a home run, no offensive team member, other than the base coaches, shall touch the batter-runner before home plate has been touched.

No such rule exists in Major League Baseball. True story. The more you know!

Anyway, Caminero's blast gave the Rays their 91st win of the year. Tampa has already clinched a playoff spot, and will likely wrap up the AL East here in a few days.

As for the 40+ second trot, most on social media loved it. Some, of course, want him drilled in the ribs in the first inning tonight.

The duality of man:

James Franklin makes Virginia Tech press conference extremely awkward with bizarre 'Hey Michael' moment

You can't ever accuse James Franklin of not being personable.

The Virginia Tech head coach produced one of the more awkward and bizarre press conference moments seen in quite some time while addressing the media ahead of his team's trip to Maryland on Saturday.

It all began when Michael Howes of the Baltimore Sun introduced himself over Zoom with his name and affiliation before asking the veteran coach a question, only Franklin wasn't going to let him ask his question until they exchanged pleasantries.

Before Howes could even begin laying out his question, Franklin said, "Hey, Michael," trying to, apparently, get his attention and ask how he was doing. When Howes didn't pause, Franklin said, "Hey, Michael" again, and again, and again.

In total, the head coach uttered the phrase five times before finally getting Howes' attention and asking him how he was doing. Franklin was clearly just trying to be nice, but that doesn't mean the moment wasn't also cringeworthy.

While sharing the clip on X, Howes explained that he couldn't actually see Franklin on the Zoom call, which led him to believe there was some sort of audio glitch happening. A totally fair assumption, with Franklin repeating the same phrase over and over again.

Franklin's tenure with the Hokies has gotten off to a perfect 2-0 start with wins over VMI and Old Dominion, but his new program will be taking quite a step up in competition this weekend with its visit to Maryland to take on the unbeaten Big Ten squad.

The Hokies have scored a combined 117 points in their opening two games of the season, while Maryland's defense has allowed just 14 points so far this year.

Aside from Franklin's team scoring 73 points in its season opener against VMI, the head coach made headlines by questioning officials for throwing a flag after running back Marcellous Hawkins Jr. celebrated with cadets after scoring a touchdown in the blowout.

iOS 27 is here: 10 iPhone features you’ll want to try now

Your iPhone is getting a major update. Apple released iOS 27 to the public on Monday, Sept. 14, bringing a wave of new features along with the long-awaited Siri AI beta.

However, there is much more happening under the hood. Safari can now watch websites for changes. The Photos app gets powerful new editing tools. Apple also says it has made iOS faster across compatible iPhones.

Some of these changes could save you from digging through apps or hunting for information yourself. Others give you more control over how your iPhone looks and works. Here are the iOS 27 features I think are worth trying first, along with how to find them.

8 BIGGEST THINGS WE LEARNED FROM APPLE'S 2026 EVENT

The good news is that Apple kept support fairly broad. iOS 27 works with the iPhone 11 family and newer models. It also supports the second-generation iPhone SE and later. That means plenty of people can upgrade without buying a new phone. However, the biggest AI features have tougher hardware requirements. Apple Intelligence and Siri AI require an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 15 Pro Max, or an iPhone 16 model or later. So, an iPhone 11 can run iOS 27, but it will miss Siri AI and other Apple Intelligence features.

Keep in mind that many of the features below, including the new AI photo tools, Safari Notify Me and Call Context, also require an Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhone. Siri AI is rolling out in beta in English on supported devices. Apple says support for additional languages will follow later. Availability can also vary by region.

Apple says iOS 27 brings performance improvements across the system. In Apple's testing, apps can launch up to 30% faster, new photos can load in the Photos app up to 70% faster and AirDrop transfers can be up to 80% faster. Apple also says iOS 27 improves transitions between Wi-Fi and cellular connections and makes Mail search more relevant. Those are Apple's own figures, so your results will vary depending on your iPhone and how you use it.

Before installing a major update, I recommend backing up your iPhone. Also, connect to Wi-Fi and make sure you have enough battery life or plug your phone into power.

Then follow these steps:

If iOS 27 does not appear immediately, check again later. Apple software releases can take some time to appear on every compatible iPhone.

Apple Intelligence moves deeper into the Photos app with Spatial Reframing. It lets you change the composition and perspective of a photo after you took it. Apple Intelligence can generate additional parts of the scene when your new framing exposes areas that were outside the original shot.

Because AI may create new portions of the scene, I would zoom in and inspect the result before sharing an edited photo. Generative tools can still produce odd details.

Maybe you took a photo too close to your subject. The new Extend tool lets you expand beyond the original edges while Apple Intelligence generates the missing surroundings.

The feature will not work with every photo. Apple also says its intelligent photo-editing tools can be subject to daily usage limits.

Apple has also upgraded Clean Up in Photos. The tool can now tackle larger unwanted objects and distractions while using AI to fill in the space left behind.

This could be especially handy for removing a person in the background or another distraction that pulls attention away from the subject.

Apple is also giving Image Playground a major upgrade in iOS 27. You can now generate images in many more styles, including photorealistic ones. You can also start with an existing image and describe how you want Apple Intelligence to change it.

For example, you could ask it to change the setting or adjust the overall look without starting from scratch. As with Apple’s other generative image tools, usage limits may apply. I would also look closely at the results before sharing them, especially when people or detailed objects appear in the scene.

This may end up being one of my favorite iOS 27 features because it solves a very common frustration. Safari’s new Notify Me feature can monitor a webpage for a change you care about. For example, you could ask Safari to watch for a product coming back in stock. It can also monitor a page for a price change. Instead of reopening the same page over and over, Safari can alert you when something changes.

You can choose hourly, daily, weekly or monthly checks. However, Notify Me does not yet work on every website. Safari can also automatically organize open tabs by topic, which could help anyone whose browser looks like a digital junk drawer by the end of the week.

APPLE AI SECURITY UPDATE PROVES HACKERS MOVE FAST

Apple Intelligence is also getting involved when you call businesses. A new feature called Call Context can surface useful information from other apps while you are on a call.

Say you call an airline about a reservation. Call Context can pull up a confirmation code from Mail rather than forcing you to leave the Phone app and search for it while someone waits on the other end.

There is no complicated workflow to learn. When you place a supported business call and Apple Intelligence identifies relevant information, it can surface that information during the call.

Apple says its system determines what could be useful based on who you are calling. It can do that without analyzing the audio from your call. That is the kind of AI feature I want to see more of, because you do not have to change your behavior to benefit from it.

Last year, Apple introduced the transparent Liquid Glass design across iOS. Some people liked the new look. Others found certain screens harder to read. With iOS 27, Apple says it has improved contrast and readability. More importantly, you now have greater control over how transparent the interface appears. Apple added a slider that lets you move the look from ultraclear toward fully tinted.

The changes appear in real time as you move the slider. The setting applies across iOS, including places such as Control Center, notifications and app overlays. This is a small change, but I like that Apple is giving people a choice rather than assuming one visual treatment works for everyone.

If you are always digging around for the timer, exposure or another Camera setting, iOS 27 lets you keep the controls you use most right above the camera frame. Apple starts you with Flash and Live Photo there, but you can customize the row with other tools you use regularly.

Depending on your iPhone and camera mode, available controls can include Flash, Live Photo, Timer, Exposure, Styles and Aspect. Apple also gives you a Reset to Essentials option if you want to return to the default setup.

Apple has put a lot of work into parental controls in iOS 27. The new Ask to Browse feature lets a child request access to a website that has been restricted. The parent receives that request through Messages and can approve or decline it.

You first need Family Sharing set up with your child in the family group.

When your child tries to visit restricted web content, they can send an Ask to Browse request for your approval. Apple has also expanded Communication Safety. It already helps protect children from nudity in supported Apple services. With iOS 27, Apple says the system can intervene when it detects gore or violent content in shared photos and videos.

Find My gets a useful privacy upgrade in iOS 27, especially if you only want someone to see your location for a limited amount of time. You can now choose a custom duration for location sharing or set an exact date and time for it to stop. That could come in handy on a trip, during an event or anytime you want temporary location sharing without having to remember to turn it off later. You can also pause location sharing until the end of the day for specific people. Apple says this can be useful when you want to keep something like a surprise party or gift-shopping trip private.

If you already share your location with someone, you can also pause sharing with that person until the end of the day from their location-sharing options. I like having more control here because location sharing often makes sense for a specific situation. You may want someone to know where you are during a weekend trip without giving them indefinite access afterward.

Shortcuts can be incredibly powerful, but building one manually can get complicated fast. iOS 27 makes the process much easier with Describe a Shortcut. You can tell Apple Intelligence what you want your iPhone to automate in plain English. Shortcuts then connects the actions needed to build it. For example, Apple says you could ask your iPhone to message someone with your ETA when you leave work. You could also build automations that work across supported apps.

This could make Shortcuts much more approachable for people who have always liked the idea of automating their iPhone but never wanted to figure out how all the individual actions fit together. Some Shortcuts that rely on Apple’s cloud-based AI models may be subject to daily usage limits.

ASKED SIRI TO CALL YOUR BANK? A SCAM COULD COST THOUSANDS

This is the feature many iPhone owners have been waiting for, but I would treat it differently from the 10 features above. Siri AI is rolling out as a beta in English on supported devices, so expect some rough edges while Apple continues to improve it.

Siri AI can hold more natural conversations and handle follow-up questions. It can also use personal context from information on your device.

For example, you could ask Siri to find an old photo without remembering when you took it. You can also ask it to locate something buried in an email or note. Siri can take more actions inside apps, too. Apple says it can work across messages, emails, photos and other supported apps. Siri can also pull information from the web when you ask broader questions.

The real test will be whether Siri can save you from bouncing between apps. I have always found voice assistants most useful when they remove a few steps from something I already wanted to do. If Siri AI can reliably find a buried email or pull up a photo from years ago based on a vague description, that could change how often people use it. Because this is still a beta, I would double-check important answers or actions before relying on them.

Apple has also given Siri its own app, which makes it feel more like the AI assistants people have grown used to using.

You can also pin conversations you want to keep handy. Apple says you can invoke Siri AI by saying "Hey Siri," pressing the side button or swiping down from the Dynamic Island on supported iPhones.

What I like most about iOS 27 is that some of its best features solve problems you actually run into. Safari can keep an eye on a webpage so you do not have to. The new photo tools could rescue a shot you thought was unusable. Find My also gives you better control over how long someone can see your location. I am especially interested in what Apple Intelligence can do with Shortcuts. Describing an automation instead of building it action by action could finally make Shortcuts approachable for people who have always found it too complicated. Siri AI is still the feature I will be watching most closely. Apple is asking us to trust Siri with more personal context and more complicated requests, so getting the answers right will be critical. The fact that Siri AI launches as a beta tells me we should expect some bumps along the way. What I want from AI on my iPhone is pretty simple. Save me time without making me think about the technology doing the work. If iOS 27 can consistently do that, these features could become the ones you use every day without even thinking about them.

What would Siri AI have to prove before you let it handle more of your day? Let us know by writing to us at Cyberguy.com.

NBC reporter, pilot among the victims identified in deadly Los Angeles helicopter crash

Two victims of a deadly Tuesday night helicopter crash in Los Angeles have been identified as journalist Eliana Moreno and pilot George Marciniw, NBC4 Los Angeles confirmed.

Moreno and Marciniw were employees of Angel City Air, a helicopter charter company that operated NBC Los Angeles' NewsChopper4, NBC4 reported.

The pair were covering a deadly bus crash in downtown Los Angeles when the helicopter, which NBC4 confirmed belonged to the network, lost altitude and crashed, killing a third person on the ground who has yet to be identified.

Moreno had been a stalwart of both NBC4 and Telemundo 52's aerial coverage for years, going by the moniker "Eli in the Heli."

She had worked closely with Marciniw since 2023, with the pair sharing social media photos of them working and dining together through the years.

Marciniw was, according to NBC4, a Southern California native who graduated from Burbank High School in 1974.

"We are deeply saddened to share that a helicopter providing aerial news coverage for NBC4 and Telemundo 52 was involved in a fatal accident in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families, friends and colleagues of those who lost their lives," NBC4 and Telemundo 52 said in a statement.

The chopper crashed between two buildings in Los Angeles' Chatsworth neighborhood, producing a large fireball and injuring a fourth person.

"Our hearts are with the victims and families of tonight’s devastating Metro bus and helicopter crashes in Chatsworth, and with the entire NBC4 family," California Gov. Gavin Newsom wrote in a statement on X.

"Thank you to the first responders working tirelessly tonight," he added.

World Series MVP, 'Star Wars' actress share Hallmark-movie love story after over 20 years of marriage

Ashley Eckstein, who is known as Ahsoka Tano in "Star Wars" and Jan Brady in "The Brady Bunch in the White House," knows something about Hollywood.

So, when she says the story of meeting her husband, World Series MVP David Eckstein, is something out of a Hallmark movie, she is absolutely correct.

The star-studded couple is coming up on 21 years of marriage, but their relationship began with just a look.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE

David Eckstein had been overlooked his entire baseball career, both literally and figuratively, as he stands at 5 feet, 6 inches.

The two-time All-Star knew he wasn’t the five-star prospect who was going to blow people away with his impressive power or sizzling arm. So, Eckstein created his advantages through his unbelievable attention to detail, relentless work ethic and ability to win the mental game on the baseball field.

So, when Eckstein, whose extremely regimented game-day routine begins the moment he wakes up, lost focus for five seconds because he locked eyes with a beautiful young woman in the stands while at the top step of the dugout celebrating a run, he was mad.

"Get focused on the game, I barked at myself, disappointed that I would ever let something break my concentration," Eckstein wrote in his book "Just Enough."

"I couldn’t believe I had let a fan break my routine."

A few weeks later, Los Angeles Angels Vice President of Communications Tim Mead called Eckstein with a pitch. A publicist reached out to him wanting Eckstein to go a movie premiere with an actress.

These types of pitches to Mead, or attempts to set Eckstein up on a date, weren’t uncommon. In fact, Mead normally deleted most.

But not this one.

Eckstein was apprehensive about the situation and looking for a way to get out of it, but Mead was firm. He had a feeling and urged Eckstein to call.

After some research with his sister, Christine, Eckstein decided to pick up the phone and call.

While the call went well, Eckstein told Ashley Drane he wouldn’t go to the premiere. Not until he met her in person beforehand.

The Angels were out of the postseason hunt, but the season was still going on. Drane was filming an episode of "That '70s Show."

While the timing wasn’t just ideal, it ended up being perfect. They settled on Monday, which was Drane’s 22nd birthday.

And Drane’s 22nd birthday wasn’t just any birthday. It was her golden birthday.

"In fourth grade, my fourth grade teacher told the whole class. He said, ‘Something special will happen on your golden birthday. Like when you turn 10 on the 10th. Well, my birthday is September 22nd and so ever since I was 10, I was waiting for my golden birthday when I would turn 22 on September 22nd," Ashley told OutKick in a recent interview.

"And I believed him that something special would happen. Well, I didn't try for it. But because he didn't agree to go to the premiere and he said, ‘I have to meet you prior, the only day we both had free to meet was my golden birthday.’ So, I had a date with number 22 on my golden birthday, September 22nd when I turned 22."

David, through his prudent research with Christine, discovered it was Ashley’s birthday and brought a gift.

He was also wary of the Hollywood star potentially turning her nose up at his car. David was driving an "old clunker" with 150,000 miles on it, but that didn’t bother Ashley at all.

In fact, it was Ashley’s car that told David all he needed to know.

"It probably started when she pulled up in her old Toyota Corolla that had the missing door handle, the duct tape on it because then I was like, ‘OK, she's real. That's the type of girl that I could see myself with,’" David told OutKick.

"Once I met her that night, we kind of knew."

A couple of months after they started dating when Ashley told David a secret she had been keeping. She was the girl in the stands who broke David’s fierce concentration in the dugout.

What David didn’t know? Ashley attended that game wearing her favorite number, Eckstein’s jersey number, No. 22.

Relationships and romance are hard in general, but especially so when both people in a relationship have incredibly demanding schedules.

David, a professional baseball player, and Ashley, a Hollywood actress, had to work as a team to make it work. David, like the excellent leadoff hitter he was throughout his 10-year career, took the same approach to his relationship and set the tone early.

"David from the very beginning, he said, ‘I'm going to let you know I don't play games. I like you and I'm going to be very upfront with you from the beginning,’ and he said if we're going to do this together I just want you to know we're a team and he said what I do is a reflection of you and what you do is a reflection of me so moving forward if we're in this we need to think of each other with every action and everything we do," Ashley said.

"And I really appreciated that because it totally changed my mindset and we have — we've been a team ever since."

David said that once you find your best friend, you can work through anything. For the two-time World Series champion, that meant Ashley had to sit through a baseball season with him.

"The other thing I said early on, and this is why I did not put a ring on her finger earlier, was you need to sit through a baseball season with me because I'm a different person because once baseball season starts. I'm so locked in, but I need you to understand that that part of that time is very precious to me, but it doesn't mean I'm not thinking of you and don't care for you," David said.

David’s rigid approach to baseball made him appreciate Ashley’s similar outlook toward acting.

"I also understood her roles when she goes on set, because of my baseball career, I understand what she's doing. So, I thought it was actually a perfect mix for us to balance both worlds of her being the actress and me being a baseball player and but when we get to together, we really enjoy our time," David said.

Ashley understands that romance is so much more than what is portrayed on TV and in movies. It’s about being there for the other person even when it doesn’t look pretty.

"You put each other first and if you go into it with that mindset you're both going to be taken care of. I also joke with him sometimes romance just — it looks different. Sometimes romance is just him getting up to get me coffee when I have a busy day or doing the dishes. Yes, sometimes romance novels and romcoms, they give you a version of romance in your head and you think that that's what every day is like, yeah, but no, sometimes romance is just show — continuing to show up for someone, even when it just doesn't look pretty," Ashley said.

"But when he was going through a rough time one season, I didn't know what to do for him. But I knew he liked fried chicken. And so, I found the perfect recipe. So, when he came home, even if it was a bad game, it was the perfect fried chicken. It’s just showing up for that person and putting each other first."

While the beginning David and Ashley’s relationship was out of a fairytale, reality hit them hard.

In 2008, David was with the Toronto Blue Jays and in the midst of a difficult season, and the two poured into each other and God.

"I'll never forget there was one season. I mean, I'll say it. He wasn't happy. It was when he was with Toronto," Ashley said. "2008 was just a really hard, hard season. It was a hard season. And, um, nothing made sense. Absolutely nothing made sense. And what led up to that moment was horrible. I mean, some horrible things happened to him. And I just remember both of us, he didn't cry, but you could tell he was in despair. He was at at very low point. A very, very low point. And we both sat in church and he was silent and I just cried and and we had no other nothing else to do other than just say, 'Okay, it's all right. All right, God, it's in your hands.’"

"‘Whatever, whatever you want, we will go wherever. We will do whatever. We're going to do it together. But we just sat there in desperation and said, ‘Okay, whatever is meant to be is meant to be.’ And then he got traded."

Toronto wasn’t easy for Ashley either. If she wasn’t aware of just how ruthless Hollywood was, she found out when she moved north of the border to be with David.

"I did end up walking away from my career, but he always came first, and he in turn, he's always put me first and it worked out, but it is hard. It's hard," Ashley said.

"All of my agents and managers dropped me. I was a full-time working actress, live action, television, series regular. I mean, I had a lot and then just like that they were just like, ‘Oh, you can't be here. You can't audition. You're not flying in on every whim.’ Well, literally the exact quote was, ‘If you're not auditioning, you're not making money. And if you're not making money, you're no good to us.’ And then like that, I had nobody."

David played two more seasons after he was traded from Toronto and retired. Not because no one wanted him, as he had more contract offers in free agency than he ever had before, but because it was his turn to support her.

"I actually had more contract offers in 2011 than any other time I was in free agency but I had made the decision. Ashley had started her company ‘Her Universe’ and she basically she gave up her career as an actor. They all gave up on her when she made the move to Toronto to come be with me," David said.

"I had made a decision that I was going to go be with her after the 10th year. And so, yeah, I walked away from all the contract offers even during the season and even after the 2011 season, I got called again to come back and play, but I already made the decision. Yeah. And we went out and created ‘Her Universe.’"

For Ashley, it all ended up working out in the end, as "Star Wars" came along around that time, and she called what happened "the biggest blessing."

In addition to being an actress and a former athlete, Ashley and David now have another title: authors. The couple wrote books and released their "his-and-hers" books on Sept. 8. David’s is a memoir called "Just Enough," while Ashley’s is called "Lucky 22."

David always knew he wanted to write a book once he was done playing; it just took about 15 years after his playing days. Ashley’s inspiration for writing the book stemmed from a "crazy idea."

"I just had a crazy idea. Once we started working with Blue Box Press and since they specialize in romance, how David and I met really is like a Hallmark movie. We didn't try for it that way. It just happened that way. And whenever we tell the story, everyone always says that's a Hallmark movie. That — that needs to be a Hallmark movie. And so it's only one chapter in David's book and it only deserves to be one chapter because he has a lot of story to tell. But I had a feeling that people are going to want to know more," Ashley said.

"So I went to Liz and Jillian, the owners of Blue Box Press, and I said, ‘Okay, I have a crazy idea, but what if we do a his and hers version and what if we do a romance novel, Lucky 22, inspired by our true love story.’ So, mine is fiction, but it is very much inspired by our true story. And it's about 90% true."

For David, reading Ashley’s book allowed him to see things from her perspective and reflect on who he was.

"It was very interesting for me because she told it from her perspective like how it all came about of meeting me and I really realized how really regimented I was and how I was so focused on my career and my routine and stuff and then seeing it from her side of it, the opposite side. Kind of being all lonely going through this world where everyone thinks it's so glamorous and having to fight through it and stuff," David said.

"It definitely brought some tears to my eyes. It definitely made me reflect on the person I was during that time period because in the sense of like I was so focused in on my career and being the best husband at that time in my mind thought I had needed to perform on the baseball field."

On the flip side, Ashley called David’s story the "greatest underdog story" that had yet to be told. While the book runs through David’s World Series run with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2006, Ashley said it’s just as much about life than it is about baseball.

"People think they know his story. They think, you know, they know him as the scrappy player that had heart and, you know, the little engine that could, you know, David versus Goliath. They think they know his story, but they truly don't know everything that he went through. And the beautiful part about his story is you don't need to know anything about baseball to be inspired by Just Enough. In fact, many people that have read it, our publishers, they know zero about baseball. And that — everyone like they call with tears in their eyes. Literally, our publisher is — who is a good friend of ours. She called and apologized. She goes, ‘I'm your friend.’ And I can't believe I didn't know everything you went through," Ashley said.

"And we're like, don't apologize. I'm actually grateful to hear this reaction because, this is not a baseball book. This is a book about family, faith, also faith in yourself, and never giving up and perseverance and it can relate to everyone."

The power couple also may have etched their names into the history books.

"I don't think there's been another husband and wife that have dropped a book on the same day," Ashley said.

Macklemore's long history of controversy from Grammy wins to 'Free Palestine' concert remarks

Macklemore's activism began long before his pro-Palestinian plight during Ed Sheeran's "Loop Tour."

The musician, who's full name is Ben Haggerty, was kicked off Sheeran's tour following backlash from his "Free Palestine" messaging during his opening act at MetLife Stadium over the weekend.

While the fallout continues now that four supporting acts have withdrawn from the tour, Macklemore, 43, is no stranger to controversy and has often used his platform to amplify political issues.

ED SHEERAN SAYS HE TRIED TO 'BUILD A BRIDGE' OVER MACKLEMORE TOUR SPOT BEFORE VENUES SAID NO

The artist broke into the mainstream music scene in 2012 with the release of "The Heist," his debut studio album as the duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis.

He faced criticism for sweeping the 2014 Grammys with four awards, which included winning the Best Rap Album Grammy over fan favorite Kendrick Lamar, who was equally nominated for seven awards that night.

MACKLEMORE DOUBLES DOWN AFTER GETTING KICKED OFF ED SHEERAN TOUR AFTER PRO-PALESTINE STANCE

Macklemore reached out to Lamar after the show and shared a screenshot of his text on social media where he told the "Humble" rapper that he was "robbed" of the win.

"My text to Kendrick after the show. He deserved best rap album... I'm honored and completely blown away to win anything much less 4 Grammys," Macklemore wrote. "But in that category, he should have won IMO. And that's taking nothing away from The Heist. Just giving GKMC it's proper respect."

He added, "With that being said, thank you to the fans. You're the reason we were on that stage tonight. And to play Same Love on that platform was a career highlight. The greatest honor of all. That's what this is about. Progress and art. Thank you."

Grammy viewers witnessed Macklemore & Ryan Lewis perform "Same Love" on stage to a mass wedding between 33 same-sex and heterosexual couples, officiated by Queen Latifah. At the end of the performance, Madonna appeared on stage for a rendition of her song, "Open Your Heart."

BLACK CROWES FACE BACKLASH AFTER CHRIS ROBINSON SHUTS DOWN U.S.A. CHANT AND CALLS FANS 'IGNORANT'

That same year, Macklemore faced backlash following an appearance with Ryan Lewis at The Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle, where he wore a black wig, beard and fake nose, which some claimed was an antisemitic costume.

The singer issued an apology shortly after and said that his costume wasn't intended to reflect a caricature of a Jewish man, but that he was trying to disguise himself in the crowd.

"Family, friends and fans alike who know me well, know that I'm absolutely not the person described in certain headlines today," he wrote on his website. "There is no worse feeling than being misunderstood, especially when people are hurt or offended."

"I respect all cultures and all people," he continued. "I would never intentionally put down anybody for the fabric that makes them who they are. I love human beings, love originality, and ... happen to love a weird outfit from time to time."

He also posted on X, "A fake witches nose, wig, and beard = random costume. Not my idea of a stereotype of anybody."

In 2023, he was one of many who signed the Arists4Ceasefire letter in support of Palestinian rights and humanitarian aid for Gaza and the following year released "Hind's Hall," an anthem supporting pro-Palestinian student protestors.

During a performance at Seattle's Palestine Will Live Forever festival, Macklemore faced heavy criticism after leading an anti-U.S. chant where he encouraged the crowd to say, "F- - - America."

"My thoughts and feelings are not always expressed perfectly or politely," he said on social media at the time. "Sometimes I slip up and get caught in the moment. Saturday night was one of those times.

PINK HITS BACK AMID BACKLASH FOR CRITICIZING MACKLEMORE'S PRO-PALESTINIAN CONCERT REMARKS

He added, "Unfortunately, the historic event in my hometown that brought thousands of people together to raise awareness and money for the people of Palestine has become overshadowed by two words."

Macklemore admitted that he "lost endorsements, I've lost shows, I've lost business ties," but that his support remained "unwavering."

"My intent always comes back to the pursuit of peace, love, equality and liberation for all. And that isn’t radical, it’s human. I don’t think I’m alone," he noted.

The backlash resulted in Macklemore being dropped from the inaugural Neon City Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada.

One week after Macklemore repeatedly called to "Free Palestine" and performed "Hind’s Hall" while opening for Sheeran, the rapper was dropped from the remaining U.S. dates.

Ed Sheeran addressed Macklemore’s removal from his U.S. tour Tuesday, saying the rapper’s departure was ultimately a decision made by the concert promoter and venues — not by him.

The "Shape of You" singer said he was "appalled" by the conflict between Israel and Palestine and described the suffering on both sides as "a human tragedy," according to a lengthy statement shared on Instagram after Macklemore accused Sheeran and tour organizers of sidelining him over his pro-Palestinian remarks.

Sheeran said he deliberately avoided using his professional platform for politics because his audience includes young people and children from diverse backgrounds. Sheeran said concertgoers attend his shows expecting "a place of safety and sanctuary" rather than a political forum.

On Monday, Macklemore claimed that Sheeran told him Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots and Gillette Stadium, had rallied other stadium owners to oppose allowing the rapper to perform. According to his account, the venues allegedly gave Sheeran an ultimatum: "If Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues."

PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE

Following Sheeran's note, four supporting acts withdrew from the "Loop Tour" in solidarity with Macklemore, including Irish acts Aaron Rowe and Beoga, Lukas Graham and Finneas.

Macklemore's representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

T rex footprints unearthed in first-ever discovery 66 million years after creature walked the Earth

Scientists in North Dakota recently discovered what researchers believe is the first known trackway left by an adult T. rex — preserving the predator's footsteps some 66.5 million years after it walked the Earth. 

The findings, which centered on footprints discovered near Marmarth, North Dakota, were published Sept. 9 in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.

The trackway, or sequence of footprints, was discovered in 2025 in the Hell Creek Formation of southwestern North Dakota, on federal land administered by the U.S. Forest Service.

BOY STUMBLES ON STRANGE BEACH OBJECT IDENTIFIED AS RARE 1.8M-YEAR-OLD FOSSIL

In a recent announcement, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science said the trackway stretches more than 23 feet and consists of at least four three-toed prints.

Pictures from the site show researchers examining the massive, three-toed prints in the rocky terrain.

The prints are roughly 3 feet long — and their enormous size led researchers to determine that they were left by an adult T. rex.

The identification was "based on the footprints’ exceptional size and narrow shape of the toes, along with the abundance of T. rex fossils found in the surrounding area," the museum said in a statement.

ANCIENT OCEAN MYSTERY DEEPENS AS LONG-MISIDENTIFIED FOSSIL IS FINALLY REVEALED BY RESEARCHERS

While other isolated footprints have been attributed to adult T. rex, researchers said no adult T. rex trackway had been described previously.

"This is the first time scientists have described a sequence of tracks, or trackway, likely left by this most famous of dinosaurs," the release also noted.

Tyler Lyson, the senior curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and the study's co-author, told Fox News Digital he was initially skeptical when volunteer Kent Hups, a high school teacher, spotted the print.

"Initially I wasn't convinced because it was only one print," Lyson said.

Rocks, he noted, "can erode into many different types of shapes."

"I thought, well, if there's three, that's a pattern," he said. "If we can find a third print, then I'll be a true believer."

The team began digging farther into the hill — and within about 30 minutes, they struck a third print.

SHOCKING PREHISTORIC DISCOVERY ON NJ BEACH '100%' CAME FROM COLOSSAL ANCIENT PREDATOR

"At that point, myself, [plus] Kent, who found the trackway — we were absolutely ecstatic," Lyson said.

The four footprints — two left and two right — were spaced at a stride of approximately 13 feet.

The dinosaur may have been walking between 3.5 and 4.5 miles per hour — much like humans do today — the researchers estimated.

They used high-resolution 3D surface scanning to document the footprints and entire trackway.

The study's lead author, Peter Falkingham, a paleobiology professor at Liverpool John Moores University in England, then analyzed the footprints remotely using the 3D data, even though he never saw the tracks in person.

The team returned to the site this summer and made another discovery while excavating farther into the hill: a fifth track. 

"I have no doubt that if we were to continue to dig further into a hill that we would find more," Lyson said.

The footprints are each more than 3 feet long. They likely weigh between 800 and 1,000 pounds, according to Lyson.

Three of the tracks are slated to be recovered in October, when crews will place them in a helicopter net and airlift them out of the rugged Badlands, he said. 

At the museum, researchers plan to clean the tracks — and Lyson said he's hopeful they could contain preserved skin impressions.

"By cleaning these tracks, we might be able to have a better idea of what the actual foot of a T. rex looked like," he said.

The recent research follows other dinosaur-related discoveries from across the world.

Last year, paleontologists revealed a roughly 150-million-year-old dinosaur trackway in Colorado that may have preserved the footsteps of a limping long-necked sauropod.

Shortly after, scientists announced a new species of Spinosaurus, a meat-eating dinosaur that may have rivaled T. rex in size.
