A 12 to 14-year-old ISIS suicide bomber detonated a device in Turkey killing 51 people, injuring 69 others, at a Kurdish wedding.
The explosion occurred late Saturday night and tore through a crowd of Kurdish wedding guests attending an outdoor marriage ceremony in the city of Gaziantep, roughly 35 miles from the Syrian border.
Turkey’s president Recep Erdogan has blamed Islamic State militants who operate in the area. Erdogan also said the suicide bomber was between 12 and 14 years old, according to a report from the Associated Press:
After the Brexit vote, the immediate and continual cries from the failed globalists within the ‘Remain’ camp exploited a narrative of Scotland who had a majority vote to stay in the EU.
However, the most current poll (full pdf below) now offering Scotland the option to leave the United Kingdom and align with the European Union, finds the majority of Scots want to stay in the UK even if it means they cannot access the single-market system of the European Union.
Additionally, there are many indications that Britain is on the cusp of a major economic boom as a result of the EU Brexit. This poll is a significant fail for the narrative of the European and Western globalists.
(Reuters) Most Scots still back remaining in the United Kingdom despite Britons voting to leave the European Union, a move which was opposed by the majority in Scotland, according to an opinion poll published on Saturday.
Scotland’s nationalist First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said the June 23 vote for Brexit had put Scottish independence back on the agenda just two years after it was rejected in a referendum. (more…)
The Munich shooter has been identified as Ali Sonboly, an 18-year-old German with Iranian citizenship. The 18-year-old German/Iranian opened fire in a crowded Munich shopping mall and a nearby McDonald’s, killing nine people and wounding 16 others before killing himself.
However, as many are noting, the EU liberal media are trying to disconnect any reference to Islam despite the eye-witness claims. An eye-witness who was inside the McDonalds when Ali Sonboly opened fire gave a first-hand account to CNN:
The media are even dropping his first name “Ali” and instead calling him David Sonboly.
But it doesn’t stop there; check out the pictures that are being distributed of Ali. The Main Stream Media in both the EU and U.S. are going full Trayvon with this killer: (more…)

When Donald Trump proposed a simple border wall and tighter immigration enforcement, a gobsmacked “conservative” electorate were stunned to see the entire political universe of people, who most thought would align with such basic tenets, flip 180° and begin stating: “walls don’t work”, “we need open borders”, and “deportations are unfair”….
In July 2015 it was weird to see the “conservative” pundits and professional class expose their true intents so quickly.
Many couldn’t fathom what they were witnessing. We called this the “Trump Effect”.
In essence Trump exposes the hypocritical nature of the deceivers simply by affirming an intent to give them what they’ve advocated for. In doing so Trump puts sunlight on their hidden ideology, and forces them out of the shadows.
Remarkably, Trump is doing it again with comments about NATO, Turkey, the EU and a reconsideration of the U.S. role in Europe.
It’s simply an incredible thing to witness.
If we follow the current Democrat arguments to their logical conclusion, we now see liberals shifted to demanding a war against Russia, because Turkey via Erdogan has gone full Islamist and is also a NATO “ally”.
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.
