Report: Hillary Clinton's Book A "BOMB,"
Only 60K Hard Covers Sold In First Week

(I know...  Shocker ... THE 14M, I mean)

Via Weekly Standard:
In an email this evening, a veteran publishing source calls the latest Hillary Clinton book, Hard Choices, a memoir of her State Department years, a "BOMB." The source is referring to the early but underwhelming sales figures.

"Between us, they are nervous at S&S [Simon & Schuster]," says the source, who gave permission for his email to be published. "Sales were well below expectations and the media was a disaster."

According to this source, a Simon & Schuster insider, "They sold 60,000 hard covers first week and 24,000 ebooks." The publishing house was "hoping and praying for 150,000 print first week."

"The 60k represents a less than 10% sell thru based on what they shipped," says the source.

It's been reported that one million copies of Clinton's book were shipped weeks before the June 10 publication date. "They will be lucky to sell 150,000 total lifetime," the source writes in the email.

Hillary reportedly received a near $14 million advance, a sum the publishing house will unlikely make back.

Polish Town Mocks Communists By Erecting
Fluorescent Green Statue Of Lenin Peeing

(DNC gasps in horror)

Via Mediaite:
A Polish district in Krakow recently celebrated how awesome it is to not be communist by erecting a neon green statue of Vladimir Lenin urinating into a fountain.

The statue, entitled "Fountain of the Future," depicts the Soviet leader gazing thoughtfully into the distance, envisioning a world where men can urinate equally as far as their fellow comrades. To compound its message, the artists placed the statue on a pedestal that formerly housed an actual Lenin statue.

There's a little bit of backstory to why this district is so happy that communism is over: Nowa Huta, an industrial community, was built by the Polish post-war government specifically to "combat the influence of what authorities deemed to be 'bourgeois' Krakow," according to the Independent. (The town was such a propaganda village that a popular song was written extolling its Socialist virtues, and was literally titled "This Song Is About Nowa Hute".) However, the plan backfired and Nowa Huta instead became a hotbed of dissent, with protestors attempting to blow up the bronze Lenin statue at least twice.

Why are Boehner and Issa helping cover up Obama's scandals?

 
Once again the IRS appears to be complicit in a targeted leak of a private citizen's tax return to effect a nakedly partisan attack. This time the IRS reportedly leaked the tax return of an executive at Mozilla who had expressed support for traditional marriage.

As for the gun-running operation that killed hundreds, Eric Holder and Barack Obama continue to unlawfully claim "executive privilege" over a massive trove of documents that likely implicate both in "Operation Fast and Furious". Throughout American history, "Executive Privilege" was reserved only for a small, explicitly named set of communications unrelated to a specific criminal investigation. Until Obama, that is.

As for Benghazi? Well, for starters, we still don't know what Barack Obama did for eight hours during a running terror attack that resulted in the deaths of four American diplomats. We still don't know who coordinated the campaign of lies to the victims' families and the American people about the nature of the attack.

So what does Johnny Boehner and his hand-picked Oversight Chairman, Darrell Issa, do? Next to nothing. They hold show hearings. They appear on television. But they refuse to name a Select Investigative Committee for any of these outrageous scandals.

Why?

Allen West has a pretty good idea and I have some additional thoughts (*cough* they got somethin' on him *cough*).

WSJ/NBC Poll: Obama's Approval Rating Falls To All-Time Low, 41%

(Feel good story of the day)

Via WSJ:

Foreign crises and domestic economic unease have eroded President Barack Obama's public standing, sapping his ability to respond to overseas conflicts and weighing on fellow Democrats heading into the midterm elections.

As clouds gather abroad, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds Mr. Obama's job approval rating at 41%, matching a previous low. Approval of his handling of foreign policy hit a new low of 37%. Both numbers are driven in part by conflicts largely outside the president's control, including a new wave of sectarian violence in Iraq.

ISIS Releases Annual Report Proudly Listing Their Atrocities: 1,000 Assassinations And 4,000 IEDs

(Blood-thirsty killers, and damn proud of it)

Via Daily Mail:

The Islamist militant group Isis publishes annual reports detailing its reign of terror across the Middle East, it has been revealed.

In 2013 alone, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, says it has carried out nearly 10,000 operations in Iraq, 1,000 assassinations, planted 4,000 improvised explosion devices and freed hundreds of radical prisoners.

Isis also claims to have turned hundreds of 'apostates', or people with no previous allegiance, and says it now has at least 15,000 fighters in its ranks.

Details of the report emerged as new information about the way Isis is funded and attracts recruits came to light, with reports suggesting widespread support in South East Asia, particularly Indonesia – the country with the world's biggest Muslim population

Nigel Inkster, former assistant chief of UK intelligence service MI6, told the Financial Times: 'They produce [the reports] almost like a company, with details of martyrdom operations and targets. You have a clear overlay of structure, planning and strategy to the organisation.'

The documents also clearly mark out that Isis' long-term intention is to control the Sunni-populated areas of Iraq.
