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:
During a February Republican debate the Wall Street Journal’s Kimberly Stassel challenged Donald Trump on the projected revenue from his proposed tax plan.
In essence Stassel claimed some economists doubted the growth factor Mr. Trump projects in his tax proposal.
In a sixty second response time, it was factually impossible for Donald Trump to explain something more complex than a sound bite allows. However, how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
Specifically, one of the larger hurdles Trump faces is a need to re-educate an entire generation on a fundamentally new vision of the U.S. economy. A return to a Pro-Main Street, goods-based, manufacturing, technology, innovation and industry driven economic model.
Interestingly, many people have referenced a 1991 (25 years old) video of Donald Trump testifying before congress – as evidence of him being tuned in to political consequences of economic activity. The entire video is well worth watching because it gives you insight into a very specific moment in time as they discuss the ‘Reagan era’ 1986 tax reform act.
For the sake of this discussion post I would like to draw your attention to a very specific exchange between Donald Trump and Representative Helen Delich Bently (R-MD). (more…)
Did anyone notice how quiet the convention auditorium was when Speaker Paul Ryan was delivering his Tuesday night speech outlining his perspectives on the future of the GOP?
The media don’t want to discuss the lackluster audience response, and the right side of the UniParty punditry definitely don’t want to draw attention to it – but the meek applause was deafening. The Ryan party is in the minority, the Trump party is in control – this is now the people’s convention.
And right there the stage is set for Senator Ted Cruz tonight. Donald Trump masterfully invited Ted Cruz to speak at the convention without requesting any endorsement. Hundreds of column inches have previously outlined this seemingly unprecedented approach, however the maneuver is typical Trump – brilliant.
In the broadest of terms, Donald Trump won the GOP nomination because he has a pulse on the electorate. Simply put, Trump gets the “Cold Anger”; Donald Trump understand the motivations behind the “Monster Voter”. (more…)
The same legacy media pundits/critics who decried the candidacy of Donald Trump are fraught with pearl-clutching criticism because the structure of convention day #2 prime-time speeches are not following their customary political norms.
Oh dear, oh my…. oh noes... the vulgarians are daring to put on their own show. Those unwashed non-cosmopolitan’s have the audacity to break tradition with the professional political class, go figure.
Here’s some great speeches, starting with Donald Trump Jr.:
Gabriel Sherman at the New York Magazine is claiming Fox News TV host Megyn Kelly was one of Roger Ailes sexual harassment victims.
(New Yorker) As a chorus of prominent Fox News women have gone public defending Roger Ailes against the wave of sexual-harassment allegations sparked by former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson’s lawsuit, the network’s biggest star, Megyn Kelly, has been conspicuously silent. Kelly’s refusal to join in Ailes’s orchestrated defense has led to speculation about why.
The cultural Marxists (PC Media) are burying this story and refusing to name the restaurant. PC Local Media claim the “shards of glass” found in the police officer’s restaurant produced (ie. fresh made) sandwich might have just found their way there by “accident”.
Uh huh… “accident”, gotcha.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX/WTTE) — A Columbus police officer was rushed to the hospital after officials say he cut his mouth after biting into a sandwich, which contained several shards of glass from a restaurant on East Long Street Monday afternoon.
The officer was taken to Grant Medical Center around 3 p.m. where he’s being held overnight. The officer is expected to be okay, according to investigators.
Police say the officer bit into the sandwich and felt what was a grisly texture as well as a crunching sound. When he looked into the sandwich, he saw the glass. When he checked his mouth, he saw it was bleeding. (read more with video report)
Update apparently the restaurant is The Lincoln Cafe (formerly Zanzibar Brews).
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)
Andrea Shaea King noticed some interesting new design elements in the recently upgraded fence surrounding the White House.
The New York Times has an article about Donald Trump and the GOP. Within the story on the NYT website there’s a video to give the GOP story some depth. Within the video the fence design elements were first noticed.
Some additional research into the fence and how it was upgraded for security reveals those design elements are quite factually there.
Interesting. (more…)
