Censorship can be highly counterproductive as Costco is now about to learn.

Costco has ordered the removal of Dinesh D’Souza’s book, “America: Imagine A World Without Her” from its bookshelves nationwide as reported the Washington Times.
The owners of Costco have donated heavily to Obama and the Democrats but if they think banning it will harm the sales of the book (and the documentary movie of the same title) they are seriously in error.
A Washington Post political reporter has noted Obama’s “romance” with the nation’s second-largest retailer. According to that Washington Post reporter, Costco has contributed $100,000 to Obama and another $100,000 to Priorities USA, the pro-Obama super PAC. In addition, Susan Brotman, wife of Costco co-founder Jeff Brotman was an Obama campaign bundler in 2012 who collected over $500,000 in donations. (more…)

A “billion” is a thousand millions.   President Obama asking for $3.8 Billion to finance his ongoing efforts at collecting, supporting and housing his Central American “refugees”, ie. illegal aliens.
Yes, not only does he actively support them, but he also wants YOU to pay to support them.   And like the blind idiots they are, congress will give Obama your payroll taxes.
We can’t afford the social welfare programs we currently have (we are forced to borrow .40¢ on every dollar), and yet we’re going to throw an even larger number of fully dependent non-productive illegal aliens into the broken melting pot. 
WASHINGTON DC –  The White House on Tuesday will request $3.8 billion from Congress in emergency funding to deal with an influx of unaccompanied minors from Central America, a far higher amount than the Obama administration had previously signaled, according to a Capitol Hill source familiar with the plans.
The money would go to several federal agencies, including the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, State and Health and Human Services. Funds would be allocated to send more immigration judges to the southern border, build additional detention facilities and add border patrol agents, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the administration had not formally made the request.

Feds move to limit reporters on official visit to Oklahoma holding site for border kids http://t.co/MSWCTPT7ir

WASHINGTON DC – As members of Congress and reporters ask to visit federal facilities housing children who have been apprehended by the U.S. in recent months, federal officials are slapping limits on members of the news media who want a glimpse inside.

For example, an email sent to news organizations by Jesus Garcia, a public affairs officer for the Administration for Children and Families, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, sets out a number of restrictions on reporters if they want to visit “Unaccompanied Alien Children” being held at Fort Sill in Oklahoma.
“The purpose of this 40-minute tour is to show members of the press the interior of the shelter and explain the care we provide while these children remain in our custody,” Garcia’s email told reporters. (more…)

ABC Broadcast News ignores its own white house correspondent questioning of WH Press Secretary.   Jonathan Karl questions Josh Earnest about lack of deportations:

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Florida (FOX 13) – No charges are expected against two women who were caught on camera apparently trying to steal items from a Florida beach, police said Monday.
A man, who identifies himself as “Flicky Rich” on YouTube, caught the whole thing on camera. He confronted the females who attempt to take his canopy from the beach.

In just three days, the video has more than 1 million hits on YouTube.
Contacted by FOX 13 on Monday morning, New Smyrna Beach police said the incident happened July 4 around 6:30 p.m. They received a phone call after the incident, but by the time officers arrived, the women had left the scene. (more…)

*As if* anyone actually thought he was going to deport them….

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is holding off for now on seeking new legal authority to send unaccompanied migrant kids back home faster.
The approach is a change from what the White House has signaled and follows criticism from immigration advocates who said the administration’s planned approach was too harsh.  It was confirmed Monday by two congressional aides who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of a formal announcement.
Obama intends to ask Congress on Tuesday for more than $2 billion in emergency spending to deal with the children who’ve been arriving by the thousands from Central America. (more…)

Several DHS agencies are involved in apprehending, processing, and repatriating UAC, while the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is responsible for the care and custody of UAC. The Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) in the U.S. Department of Justice conducts the immigration removal proceedings.

Health and Human Services (HHS) is assigned responsibility from President Obama to shelter “Unaccompanied Alien Children” (UAC’s).   In the email below FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) is requesting facility recommendations for the housing of the UAC’s.
Here is the secretive guideline email requesting help in locating facilities. Note the paragraph:

…”This is an unprecedented event that requires unique approaches to temporarily house children until they can be discharged to a sponsor while awaiting judicial proceedings”….

Nothing about this three page email even remotely infers the possibility of deportation back to their home country.

Update – Numbers revised: 82 shot, 14 killed in 84 hours during July Fourth weekend in Chicago (link)

CHICAGO – At least 11 people were killed and 60 others wounded citywide in shootings in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend, reports CBS Chicago. There were also six police-involved shootings, two of which involved teens who were killed.
In the most recent fatal shooting, an unidentified 44-year-old woman was shot at a barbecue around 12:30 a.m. Monday in the city’s Morgan Park neighborhood, according to the station. She was shot as she leaned into a car in a parking lot and was pronounced dead at the scene.
“While to date we have had the fewest murders since 1963, one victim is too many and there is clearly much more work to be done,” said police spokesman Martin Maloney. (more…)

Todd Starnes – TEXAS – Are the thousands of illegal immigrant kids housed in detention facilities happy and well fed — or are they living in disease-infested compounds shrouded in secrecy?
Well, it depends on who you ask.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seems to think the children coming across the southern border are remarkably healthy. It’s a sentiment shared by BCFS — the Texas-based agency formerly known as Baptist Child & Family Services contracted to run camps at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio and Fort Sill in Oklahoma.

My source said there are children showing classic tuberculosis symptoms — spitting up blood, a constant cough and chest pain.

More than 7,000 children have been processed through the two camps, according to a BCFS official. They allege that only 119 children have been treated for lice, 22 for scabies, and one for the H1N1 Flu. BCFS says the most common illnesses seen at Lackland are fever, headache, upper respiratory cold and ingrown toenails.
However, at least a half dozen anonymous sources, including nurses and health care providers who worked at Lackland, allege that the government is covering up what they believe to be a very serious health threat. (more…)
