Mercedes-Benz calls the G63 AMG 6x6 the “automotive declaration of independence.” Seems about right. The only thing keeping the G63 AMG 6x6 from being perfect is that Mercedes never officially sold it in the United States. See: This 2014 Mercedes-Benz G63 6x6, with all of 3,000 miles on the odometer, just listed on Dupont Registry.

President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the cancellation on Monday of Philippine's purchase of police rifles from the United States, after U.S. senatorial aides said last month that Washington was halting the sale due to concerns about human rights violations. "We will not insist on buying expensive arms from the United States. In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters it was his understanding "we (the United States) have not received any notification ... on the cancellation." The relationship between the United States and the Philippines, a long-time ally, has been complicated lately by Duterte's angry reaction to criticism from Washington of his violent battle to rid the country of illegal drugs.

German prosecutors probing whether Volkswagen executives manipulated the markets in the wake of the "dieselgate" scandal have widened their investigation to include the group's supervisory board chief, the embattled auto giant said Sunday. VW said the probe had now also ensnared board chairman Hans Dieter Poetsch, who was only appointed last year, and would focus on his previous role as the group's chief financial officer. The announcement is a fresh blow to VW's efforts to move on from the worst crisis in its history, which erupted after the group admitted in September 2015 to installing software in 11 million diesel engines worldwide that could dupe emissions tests to make the cars seem less polluting than they were.
Election Day might be a major turning point for the marijuana reform movement because five states have ballot initiatives that would legalize cannabis for adult use, regulating and taxing it like alcohol. There are also campaigns in three states to legalize medical marijuana — which would bring the total to 28 — and a slew of local, citywide initiatives. The vote to watch is in California, where polls suggest the “Adult Use of Marijuana” referendum has a substantial lead.
A hacked email released by WikiLeaks on Sunday suggests Hillary Clinton was miffed by Nancy Pelosi's initial refusal to endorse her during the Democratic presidential primary. Clinton aide Huma Abedin noted in a July 16, 2015, email to a list of people including campaign Chairman John Podesta that Clinton had asked for the House Democratic leader's endorsement over Sen. Bernie Sanders. Pelosi "didn't say yes," Abedin wrote.
A father killed his two young sons before turning the gun on himself in St. Louis on Saturday night. The man, who police identified as Christopher Cadenbach, had a $100,000 bond issued for his arrest in connection with a previous domestic violence dispute, but on Saturday afternoon when he met with this mom and two sons at the park, he said “he wasn’t going to be taken alive,” according to reports. Police said Cadenbach left the park in his mom’s car with the two boys, 5-year-old Ethan and 4-year-old Owen, and then she called police.
The Mount Tom Power Station in Holyoke, Massachusetts—known as one of the worst polluters in New England—is on its way to a renewable rebirth. The plant’s owners broke ground on a 5.76-megawatt solar farm in October on the site of the defunct coal-burning power station. “This victory came after more than five decades spent inhaling soot and struggling to breathe and more than five years of organizing to retire and repurpose Mount Tom coal plant,” Claire Miller, lead community organizer for the Toxics Action Center, said in a statement.
Tesla (TSLA) has touted its easily accessible network of charging stations as a key factor that sets it apart from other electric car makers, but Monday Tesla put some limitations on that network's use. Any Tesla cars ordered after Jan. 1, 2017, will be given an annual credit of 400 kilowatt hours — roughly equal to the power needed to travel 1,000 miles — at Supercharger stations. Tesla said the changes are being made to help the company fund further expansion of the network.
When Souad al-Shammary posted a series of tweets about the thick beards worn by Saudi clerics, she never imagined she would land in jail. The frank comments are typical of this twice-divorced mother of six and graduate of Islamic law. Raised a devout girl in a large tribe where she tended sheep, al-Shammary is now a 42-year-old liberal feminist who roots her arguments in Islam, taking on Saudi Arabia's powerful religious establishment.
By Rodi Said AIN ISSA, Syria (Reuters) - A U.S.-backed alliance of Syrian armed groups has launched an operation to retake the northern city of Raqqa, the de facto capital of Islamic State in Syria, the group said on Sunday. A statement issued by the U.S.-backed Syria Democratic Forces (SDF), an alliance of Kurdish and Arab armed groups, said the long anticipated campaign, called Euphrates Anger, started late on Saturday. "The general command of the Syria Democratic Forces announces the blessed start of its major military campaign to liberate the city of Raqqa," Jehan Sheikh Amad, an SDF spokeswoman, told a news conference in the Syrian town of Ain Issa, 50 km (30 miles) north of Raqqa.
NBC Sports, and the crew that covers NASCAR Sprint Cup, did the best they could to tap-dance their way through what had to be one of the most expensive rain delays of the year, but in the end, they lost NBC at 6 p.m. ET, leaving the accountants to figure out the damage. All those advertisers who bought commercials in a Chase race at Texas Motor Speedway and instead got a partial re-run of Martinsville, a long preview of Rutledge Wood's new series "Shotgun," endless driver interviews where, at least, Brad Keselowski opened a can of worms with comments about NASCAR's concussion policy, and shots of Air Titans trying to dry the surface must be made whole, and it will likely be pricey. As one of a handful of NASCAR races that had an absolutely prime Sunday afternoon timeslot on network television, the AAA Texas 500, with only two more races left in the season, and one more to set the four-car field for the championship to be decided at the Homestead-Miami Speedway finale, this was a massive lost opportunity for NASCAR, and you could almost hear remote controls across the country seeking football or movies.

Law enforcement investigators have expanded their search for human remains beyond the South Carolina property where they discovered a woman chained inside a storage container after the landowner confessed to a 13-year-old quadruple slaying and led them to graves where he says two bodies are buried. Todd Kohlhepp, 45, became a suspect in at least seven deaths in the days after a woman was found Thursday chained by her neck and ankle in a metal storage container on his 95-acre property near rural Woodruff. Following his arrest, Kohlhepp confessed to a 2003 quadruple slaying at a motorcycle shop in the small town of Chesnee, said Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright.
