WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump is once again blaming President Barack Obama for the rise of the Islamic State group. Speaking in Youngstown, Ohio, he did not call Obama "the founder of ISIS," a remark that drew criticism last week. But the Republican nominee says Obama's policies "led directly to the rise of ISIS, without question." He also says Hillary Clinton lacks "the mental and physical stamina" to take on the Islamic State group and the "many adversaries we face."
SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — Joe Biden is attacking Donald Trump, saying the Republican nominee "has no clue" about foreign policy, the lives of working class Americans and has "un-American" policy ideas. Campaigning with Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvana today, Biden said Trump is "unqualified" to be president, arguing he lacks any kind of foreign policy experience or interest to learn about international challenges. If Trump had been president, Biden says he would have urged his late son, Beau, not to serve in the military because Trump would not be a trustworthy leader.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Many of the Louisiana homeowners who live in areas inundated with floodwaters have no flood insurance, a problem that will leave them draining savings accounts and relying on federal disaster programs to rebuild and repair. Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon said in hard-hit Baton Rouge only 12 percent of residences are covered by flood insurance. In Lafayette, the number is 14 percent. People in many of the areas that remain underwater weren't considered in a high-risk flooding area and weren't required to carry flood insurance by their mortgage lenders.
