The Bombs: Police in Elizabeth, NJ, overnight exploded a bomb left in a trash can near a train station. They say five devices were found in a backpack that exploded when a robot snipped its wires. The physical description of several bombs strung together is similar to a device found in Seaside Park, NJ on Saturday.

In other developments, just this morning the FBI released the name and photograph of a man suspected in the 23^rd St. bombing in the New York’s Chelsea neighborhood. He is 28-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahami, a US citizen of Afghan descent.  Also, a raid is being conducted on a business in Elizabeth, NJ. Late last night investigators stopped a car on the Belt Parkway near the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and took five men into custody for questioning. In downtown New York City, security video shows a man at the location of Saturday night’s 23^rd St. bombing and also at the spot where a pressure-cooker bomb was found blocks away, according to investigators.

Video shows the man pulling a wheeled duffel bag on 23^rd St. about 40 minute before the explosion and then leaving the bag about 10 minutes later on 27^th St. In an only in New York moment, two random guys then come up, remove what turned out to be a pressure-cooker bomb from the duffel, and leave with just the bag.

Both devices are believed to have been made with a pressure cooker, a cellphone, and wires from Christmas tree lights.

Battleground: CBS News reports that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are tied at 42 percent each overall in the 13 “battleground” states that are likely to determine the election. Add to that, according to CBS, 86 percent of Democrats say the country might be “damaged beyond repair” if Trump wins, and 83 percent of Republicans think the country might be “damaged beyond repair” if Clinton wins.

But combining the numbers doesn’t necessarily show the electoral picture. Clinton leads in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Virginia, which would be crushing for Trump if she takes them on election day. Nevertheless, The Real Clear Politics average of national polls has Clinton leading by just .9 percent, and the NY Times “Upshot” has Clinton slowly slipping, now down to a 73 percent chance of winning.

The Obit Page: Charmian Carr, who played the oldest daughter Liesl in the 1965 movie version of the The Sound of Music, died of a rare form of dementia at age 73. Liesl was the character in love with the slimy young Nazi, Rolf, who tried to turn in the von Trapp family. Carr married after making the movie and left acting to raise her two children. She’s the first to die among the seven actors who played the von Trapp children.

Take a Knee: On Saturday, the entire Garfield High School football team in Seattle, including the coaches, took a knee during the national Anthem to protest social injustice. The team is racially mixed. They later said they would keep doing it until someone in authority tells them to stop, but the school district issued a statement saying the team was exercising its right to free speech.

The players were following the lead of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Garfield Head Coach Joey Thomas said, “This is a player-driven thing.”

Garfield beat West Seattle.

Golden Statues: HBO’s “Game of Thrones” dominated the Emmy awards again last night with 12 wins, but the FX series “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story,” also cleaned up.

The event was, at times, like a celebrity roast of Donald Trump, winning her fifth Emmy for Best Actress in a Comedy for “Veep” Julia Luis-Dreyfus said her HBO show had “torn down the wall between comedy and politics,” and that it “started out as a political satire but it now feels more like a sobering documentary, so I certainly do promise to rebuild that wall and make Mexico pay for it.”
