Nigel Farage question and answer session at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Mr. Farage answers questions about Donald Trump, 2016 nationalistic politics, the current European Union and Brexit. Well worth watching.
Beyond the annoyingly GOPe progressive interviewer, this is a great interview:
Guess who did the attack? Yup. It appears the resorts in southern France are being monitored by Jihadists for Islamic apparel compliance.
A Moroccan man brutally attacked a 46-year-old woman and her three daughters (aged 14, 12 and 8), with a knife, while vacationing in Hautes-Alpes (southern France). The eight-year-old is in critical condition, all four were stabbed.
They were eating breakfast near the pool when an authentic Jihadist took exception to their attire. The PC French are confused by the apparent lack of motive.
[…] Police say the motive for the attack remains ‘vague’ but local media reports state the attacker had made references to the females being ‘too lightly dressed’.
Eye-witnesses said the mum and her daughters had been having breakfast when they were attacked. Local prosecutor Raphael Balland told the AFP news agency: “The motive of the attack is very blurred.” (read more)
(Via BBC) More than 20 people in Germany have been injured after a man with an axe went on the rampage on a train, German media report.
A police operation including a helicopter is under way in Heidingsfeld, a part of the city of Wurzburg in southern Germany. Details are scant and contradictory at this stage but some local media (in German) are reporting 21 casualties.

Some opinion writers have surmised a possibility that Recep Erdogan created the coup in Turkey as a method to smoke out his opposition and exert even more dictatorial power. Having watched the events closely (5 years) which lead up to the coup attempt, we disagree.
All indications are the coup was genuine, albeit a long-shot, driven by the younger military leadership who remained guardians of the state after two years of Erdogan purging the top level generals.
Ideologically, Recep Erdogan has been working earnestly over the past 5+ years to extend his power and control. Erdogan has grandiose plans of rebuilding a modern Ottoman Empire with himself as the figurehead in control.
The fortuitous crisis in Syria evolved into a tool for Erdogan to expand his constituency, and the influx of 3 million non-secular conservative Muslims as refugees into Turkey was part of that dynamic.
Erdogan’s ideological outlook can be captured when you look at the 2015 decision to give safe refuge to five Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood leaders who were living in exile in Qatar and evicted after the Gulf States pressured Qatar to stop supporting extremist terrorists. Erdogan promised the Muslim Brotherhood safe harbor in Turkey and he gave it to them.

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…)

Left to right: New Prime Minister Theresa May and husband Philip • Philip Hammond, Chancellor • Boris Johnson, Foreign Secretary • Amber Rudd, Home Secretary.
♦ Former London Mayor Boris Johnson has been appointed Britain’s new foreign secretary, one of the biggest jobs in government. Johnson was one of the leaders of the campaign to leave the European Union.
♦ Prime Minister May also gave the position of home secretary to Amber Rudd, Britain’s former energy secretary. That means two of the top four jobs in the government are held by women.
♦ To calms nerves that May might not follow through on Brexit Prime Minister May appointed Conservative euroskeptic David Davis to lead Britain’s exit talks with the European Union. May created a new post of secretary of state for exiting the European Union. (more…)
(<– NOTE picture on left is Obama yesterday)
ABC News is reporting that President Obama will be cutting his trip in Europe short by one day and will travel to Dallas Texas early next week:
(ABC) President Obama is cutting his Europe trip short and will visit Dallas next week, the White House announced tonight.
“The President will return to Washington on Sunday night – one day earlier than planned,” the White House press secretary said in a statement. “The President will no longer travel to Seville.”
This should really not come as a surprise. UKIP was formed on a singular principle, the “United Kingdom Independence Party” (hence, UKIP).
After achieving Brexit, what most political observers said was “the impossible”, Nigel Farage is leaving UKIP while most certainly ‘on top’. Mr. Farage steps down from leading the insurgent party to focus on how he can aid other small national insurgencies to achieve their own national independence.
You will probably not see much discussion of this in the Western, especially U.S. media, however Austria has announced they are overturning the May 22nd election result and will now hold a new presidential election.
The Freedom Party (nationalist/conservative) candidate, Norbert Hofer, lost the election to the former leader of the Greens Party (globalist/liberal), Alexander Van der Bellen, by 30,863 votes (less than one percentage point). The election will now be re-run.
In between the prior vote (May) and the decision to hold a new vote (July) a reasonable person cannot avoid noticing/referencing the Brexit vote (June). Now Austria will get a do-over, absent of the fraud, and with it an opportunity for self determination.
