» Costco Gets BLASTED On Facebook For Yanking ‘America: Imagine A World Without Her’ From Shelves

Costco Described As “Communist” In Its Attempt
To Censor Pro-American Book

Lead Story by Matthew Burke, Tea Party News Network (TPNN) —
Costco has a real public relations nightmare on its hands, and it’s spreading like wildfire throughout social media.

WND’s Jerome Corsi has confirmed that the popular discount warehouse giant “has issued an order to remove all copies of Dinesh D’Souza’s bestselling book, America: Imagine the World Without Her, from the shelves of its stores nationwide.”

D’Souza’s book, released on June 2, is ranked #1 in Amazon’s Commentary and Opinion subsection of Politics and Government, and the #3 hardcover book overall in Amazon’s Politics and Government section.

Corsi points out that Costco co-founder and director Jim Sinegal is a huge leftist, a major Democrat donor, and even spoke at the 2012 Democrat convention that nominated Obama. Ironically, Sinegal has prospered from the same capitalist system Barack Obama is trying to destroy through controlist policies.

The book, like the movie, logically smashes the Obama Democrat Party meme that America is a force for evil in the world.

“If true, this would be very odd,” D’Souza told WND.

Needless to say, the company is understandably getting obliterated on the company’s public Facebook page. Here are a few of the posts, taken “in order” from an unrelated post on the page by the company, with several followers using words like “communist” to describe the company’s attempt to censor the pro-American book.

» Obama Just Gave America The Middle Finger…
Western Journalism —
Where are the Keystone Cops when you really need them?
President Benito, the constitutional law expert, is 0 for 13 before the Supreme Court. Does Benito the Brilliant learn from his mistakes? Oh no. He claims even more executive power. And if we don’t like it? “Sue me,” he says. So much for the rule of law and statesmen serving the public interest. That’s all so yesterday. Meanwhile, the Keystone Cops in Congress give themselves a raise, take a full week off for July 4th, play games with travel expenses, exempt themselves from ObamaCare, ‘investigate’ 96 scandals, and spend our money like drunken IRS agents on paid holiday...

» Murrieta Residents Preparing For Riot Squads, Ready To ‘Be Detained’
Breitbart —
A busload of illegal immigrants is expected to show up in Murrieta, California in spite of a furious group of residents who claim their town is no place for the illegal aliens. On Sunday Breitbart Texas broke the news that federal agents accompanying the bus will have riot gear and shields, in order to push back the crowd. Despite this, the protesters have no intentions of backing down--rather, the group is preparing for a showdown that one resident told Breitbart Texas "might get ugly."...

» Nurse: VA Medical Staff Stole Morphine From Dying Veterans
The Daily Caller —
Vials of morphine were systemically stolen from a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center and replaced with water and saline so that dying veterans got the wrong treatments, a longtime VA nurse told The Daily Caller. “A nurse taking care of hospice patients over the past year had been diverting vials of morphine,” said Valerie Riviello, a 28-year veteran nurse at the Albany Stratton VA Medical Center in Albany, New York. “Those patients that were dying in hospice were not getting their intended pain medication.”...

» Obamacare’s Next Threat: A September Surprise
Politico —
Obamacare open enrollment closed March 31. The White House’s Obamacare war room did not. Most state health insurance rates for 2015 are scheduled to be approved by early fall, and most are likely to rise, timing that couldn’t be worse for Democrats already on defense in the midterms. The White House and its allies know they’ve been beaten in every previous round of Obamacare messaging, never more devastatingly than in 2010. And they know the results this November could hinge in large part on whether that happens again....

» Kerry Signaled OK To Palestinian Intifada
World Net Daily (WND) —
Hamas, Fatah stand to gain with new violent campaign
(TEL AVIV) Secretary of State John Kerry’s rhetoric may have signaled to the Palestinian leadership that in the absence of negotiations with Israel, it is legitimate to launch a violent uprising, or intifada, against the Jewish state. His previous comments warrant review in light of the recent collapse of Israeli-Palestinian talks and amid the chatter about whether or not the Palestinians are on the cusp of a third intifada. “The alternative to getting back to the talks is the potential of chaos,” Kerry said. “Does Israel want a third intifada?”...

“This Isn’t Reunification—This is a government sanctioned invasion of our country”
Fox News Radio talk show host Todd Starnes reports that the doctors and nurses inside the migrant camps are being threatened with job termination and arrest if they speak out about the conditions or health of the children. The Feds are ordering the border crisis workers to “keep their mouths shut,” which shrouds the camps in secrecy. Starnes goes on to say that many of the workers at Lackland Air Force Base are making nearly $5,000 per week to work as caretakers to these children from Central America...Video

» Netanyahu: “Gloves Are Off” Against Hamas, Launches “Operation Protective Edge”
Breaking Israel News (BIN) —
Israel has launched a sweeping counter-offensive to ongoing rocket fire by terrorists in the Gaza Strip dubbed Operation Protective Edge. The rapid deterioration in southern Israel comes on the heels of a spike in tensions between Jews and Arabs in Israel after the murders of three Jewish and one Arab teenagers. The operation, which was launched in the early hours of Tuesday morning, began hours after the IDF called up some 1,500 reservists to the Gaza border. The Israeli Cabinet made the decision to launch Operation Protective Edge after a dramatic rise in rocket fire towards Israel on Monday...

» ISIS Is About To Destroy Biblical History In Iraq
The Daily Beast —
Iraqi antiquities officials are calling on the Obama administration to save Nineveh and other sites around jihadist-occupied Mosul. But are drone strikes really the answer?
More than two and a half millennia ago, the Assyrian King Senaccherib descended on his enemies “like the wolf on the fold,” as the Bible tells us—and as Lord Byron wrote in cantering cadences memorized by countless Victorian schoolchildren: “His cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold; And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea.” ..Last month, a new marauder descended on Nineveh and the nearby city of Mosul. He, too, came down like the wolf on the fold, but his cohorts brandished Kalashnikovs from pickup trucks, not shining spears; their banners were the black flags of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham...

» MAJOR NEWS Muslims Destroy The Tomb Of The Prophet Jonah, The Prophet Seth, And Burn Down 11 Churches
Walid Shoebat —
Muslim devils in Iraq, members of ISIS, destroyed the tomb of the prophet Jonah (called Younas in Arabic). Shoebat.com obtained a video of the destruction. Surely these Muslims are devils! They sacked the tomb of the beautiful tomb of the prophet Jonah, the one who God chose to preach to Nineveh. And now in the same area of Nineveh, the devil only wants to take back the people to whom Jonah preached. The Muslims are destroying all of the holy sites, everything sacred they hate, because they are of the sons of Belial. Let us read from the Scriptures on what the holy Jonah did: (click link above to full story & video)

» U.S. Border Crisis Could Provide Cover To ISIS Operatives To Enter Country
Fox News —
The border crisis could be the perfect opportunity for Islamic terrorists looking to sneak sleeper cells into the U.S., say experts. Patrols on the Mexican border have been stretched to the breaking point in recent weeks by a tidal wave of immigrants from Central America. Terrorism experts say airport security is effective at keeping dangerous jihadists out, but the border breakdown could be America's Achilles heel - providing an entry point for groups like ISIS. Texas Gov. Rick Perry said the record wave of illegal immigrants includes record numbers of “Special Interest Aliens,” or SIAs...

» Texas Governor Rick Perry Rejects Obama’s Offer To Shake His Hand On The Tarmac
TheBlaze —
Here’s the Texas Governor’s Counteroffer
Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) has reportedly rejected President Barack Obama’s offer to briefly shake hands when Air Force One lands in Austin on Wednesday. Instead, the governor came back with a counteroffer. “I appreciate the offer to greet you at Austin-Bergstrom Airport, but a quick handshake on the tarmac will not allow for a thoughtful discussion regarding the humanitarian and national security crises enveloping the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas,” Perry wrote in a letter to Obama. “I would instead offer to meet with you at any time during your visit to Texas for a substantive meeting to discuss this critical issue.”
