8:10pm Associated Press – A leader of conservatives making a last-ditch attempt to block Donald Trump’s nomination says she’s dropping her effort to force the Republican National Convention to vote on her plan to let delegates back any presidential candidate they want.
The convention rules committee has already rejected Colorado delegate Kendal Unruh’s proposal to “unbind” delegates from the candidates they were committed to by state primaries and caucuses.
Unruh had been saying that despite that defeat, she’d get enough support to force a full convention vote next week on her plan to let delegates vote their conscience. But she said Friday that the Trump campaign and party officials have peeled away that support. (AP Link – Scroll to 8:10pm)
Tonight republican vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence appeared on Fox TV with Sean Hannity for his first interview since the announcement:

The Never Trump movement was never going anywhere. The effort was simply silly in large measure because for the past two months no-one else was campaigning; no-one else was vetting a vice-president; no-one else was fundraising for the party… and no-one else was anywhere near the 1,500+ delegates with 14 million votes.
So it didn’t come as a big surprise when the last gasp of the Nevertrumpers, butthurt Cruzbots, ended with a parliamentary dull thud:
CLEVELAND – A long-shot, last-ditch attempt by a few Republican delegates to prevent Donald Trump from securing the GOP nomination failed by an overwhelming margin late Thursday night. (more…)
Retired Lt. General Michael T. Flynn gives a passionate response to the Nice, France terrorist attack and the problems of radical Islam on The Kelly File
The latest Islamic Jihad attack against Western values took place yesterday in Nice, France. Eye witnesses have reported the driver of the truck specifically targeted families with children, steering into them for maximum Jihadist terror value. At least 80 men, women and children have been slaughtered.
Two weeks before yesterday, the attack location was an Istanbul Turkey, airport. Last month it was an Orlando, Florida, nightclub. In the month prior it was Brussels, and before that San Bernardino, and before that Paris, and before that, well, you get the picture… (more…)
Another @Mr.Pinko Original:
Against the backdrop of the largest single act of Jihad in modern history taking place in Nice, France, Donald Trump has cancelled the Friday press conference and announcement of his Vice-Presidential selection.
Donald Trump called in to both Greta Van Sustern and Bill O’Reilly shows to discuss the latest terrorist attack and his VP decision.

Here’s how both series of interviews were broadcast beginning with Greta Van Sustern:
