Automaker investor days are joining spy shots and leaked documents as the most regular sources of unexpected information on future product. After Jaguar Land Rover held its confab with Wall Street last month, Automotive News found just how far upmarket the English group wants to go. JLR CEO Adrian Mardell, who left Bentley for his current job, referred to a "halo strategy" that, in AN's words, is "looking to increase sales of high-value, special edition models costing upwards of 1.5 million pounds" in a new “halo strategy” push. That's a floor of $1.95M U.S. at current exchange rates, a barrier...

Hydraulic lift to camera right get hit, spray fluid, at 14 second mark. Where was the guy who died in the stands? To the right of Trump?

Extraordinary new pictures and video obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com show just how breathtakingly close Trump shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, got to his target. Crooks, 20, came within inches of killing President Trump Saturday, as the former president addressed supporters during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Chillingly some images show a ladder, hidden by dense shrubbery, propped against the side of the AGR building, leading directly to the rooftop across which witnesses later told law enforcement they saw Crooks scramble. The images of the strategically placed ladder have emerged as Secret Service admit they did not sweep the building where...

It remains to be seen whether or not President Biden remains the Democrats’ nominee for president, amid growing calls to replace him atop the ticket. But at this moment, the race is frozen in place. Indeed, Donald Trump’s lead in national polling — now sitting at 3 points (47 percent to 44 percent) per the RealClearPolitics polling average — has remained remarkably consistent for months. This is true even after Biden’s disastrous debate performance and the discontent it engendered among Democrats. Since last November, the race has been stubbornly rangebound, with Trump’s lead over Biden consistently within a 1 to...

JD Vance, a Republican running for US Senate in Ohio, said he's not particularly interested in the Ukraine-Russia conflict."I gotta be honest with you, I don't really care what happens to Ukraine one way or another," Vance said on an episode of Steve Bannon's War Room. "I do care about the fact that in my community right now the leading cause of death among 18-45-year-olds is Mexican fentanyl that's coming across the southern border."

With the Vance selection as VP, permit me to be the first person to encourage Gov DeWine to appoint Vivek Ramaswamy to replace him in the Senate come January. Vivek clearly displayed during the presidential campaign his brilliance and understanding of many key issues. However, his lack of résumé politically didn’t allow him to catch on anywhere, except on this app. This would give him a chance to prove himself, and I am eager to see him put that brilliance to the test while actually helping to govern the country.

An FBI staffer has been accused of posting a vile message where she expressed regret that Donald Trump was not killed in an assassination attempt on Saturday.

The caption read: 'Awww so close.'

Several major questions have emerged for the US Secret Service to answer in the aftermath of the shooting of Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. The FBI has taken on the role of lead investigator into the incident, during which one person was killed and two others critically injured - while Trump was wounded in the ear. As the US demands answers, the Secret Service says it is working to discover "what happened, how it happened, and how we can prevent an incident like this from ever taking place again". Its chief, Kimberly Cheatle, has been summoned to testify...

Electron neutrinos have been experimentally observed for the first time during recent experiments by physicists at CERN, which produced proton-proton collisions at the facility’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Neutrinos are neutral subatomic particles possessing almost no mass. First detected in 1956, they possess 1/2 integral spin like all fermions and rarely react with normal matter except through the weak force. Neutrinos come in three different varieties, associated with electrons, muons, and tau particles. Due to their sparring interactions with matter, all three types of neutrinos are regarded as being among the most elusive particles in the universe. Despite this, physicists...

Now that Donald Trump has announced Sen. JD Vance as his running mate, the Biden campaign is prepared to paint the Ohio Republican as “extreme” and merely an extension of Trump's own positions and record, according to two people familiar with the re-election effort’s thinking. Vance’s position on abortion will be a top issue the Biden campaign highlights, these people said, as well as his views on accepting the results of the 2024 election regardless of who wins. “That’s the ultimate Donald Trump litmus test,” one of the people familiar with the campaign’s thinking said. Biden campaign officials also plan...

Explanation: Why does this galaxy have such a long tail? In this stunning vista, based on image data from the Hubble Legacy Archive, distant galaxies form a dramatic backdrop for disrupted spiral galaxy Arp 188, the Tadpole Galaxy. The cosmic tadpole is a mere 420 million light-years distant toward the northern constellation of the Dragon (Draco). Its eye-catching tail is about 280 thousand light-years long and features massive, bright blue star clusters. One story goes that a more compact intruder galaxy crossed in front of Arp 188 - from right to left in this view - and was slung around...

The local Pennsylvania sheriff defended the armed officer who encountered former President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks on the rooftop moments before the shooting — claiming it was the right call to retreat after the gunman pointed the weapon at him. Butler County Sheriff Michael Slupe confirmed Monday that a local officer made contact with Crooks after being hoisted up to the roof by another officer — but fled when the sniper pointed his AR-style assault rifle at the officer.“I would have done the same thing, absolutely,” the sheriff said. comment. “All I know is the officer had...
