American Criminals Living in Cuba?

(My new American Thinker post)

Governor Andrew Cuomo is travelling to Cuba to look at some business opportunities for his state. We hope that he picks up a copy of a New York Post editorial regarding some fugitives from U.S. law sitting in the island.  


They are sitting in Cuba because they've had the protection of the Cuban government.  

They were treated like heroes by the Castro regime and continue to live on the island.

This is a summary of some of  the individuals in question:

Joanne Chesimard, aka Assata Shakur, a Black Liberation Army terrorist convicted of the 1973 execution-style murder of a New Jersey state trooper. In 1979, she fled to Cuba after escaping from prison.
Guillermo Morales, chief bombmaker for the Puerto Rican terrorist group FALN, responsible for scores of deadly New York attacks -- including the infamous 1975 bombing of Fraunces Tavern.
Cheri Dalton, aka Nehanda Isoke Abiodun, wanted for a string of “revolutionary” armored-car robberies. She allegedly drove the getaway car in the 1981 Brinks robbery in Nyack, in which two police officers and a guard were murdered.
The Obama administration wants to remove Cuba from the terrorist list. They can start by telling the Cuban delegation that we want these individuals back in the U.S. before we open an embassy or lift the embargo.  

The family of the state trooper deserves that much!

So let's hope that Governor Cuomo understands that he is shaking hands with a regime that has New York-New Jersey blood in its hands.

Gore 2016: 'Here comes the Sun'

(My new American Thinker post)


As we consider alternatives to a Hillary Clinton candidacy, we hear of Senator Warren, Senator Sanders, former Governor O'Malley and others.  

Let me put Al Gore's name on the table.

Mr Gore would bring a lot to a disenchanted base:

1) He can remind everyone that Bush stole the election, a topic that they love at the left-wing precints;
2) He can attack the decision to invade Iraq;
3) He can blame everything on Cheney, another popular rally line; and,
4) Nobody gives a better speech on global warming.

Gore won't remind the base of  his hawkish statements about Iraq, or that he didn't win Tennessee in 2000, or that the global warming meme is more and more controversial


He won't bring up the fact that the Clinton-Gore record on trade agreements drove many liberals like Michael Moore to Ralph Nader. 

Last, but not least, it was the Clinton-Gore administration that gave us "rendition" jails where terrorists were detained without trial back then.The left needs a lift these days and Al Gore with  "Here comes the Sun" in the background would play well in primaries.


We won't hear any of that from Al Gore but then again reality is not what the left is about.  

A Gore candidacy is the fairy tale that so many in the left need!  

So "Here comes the Sun" is my choice for the theme song. Get ready because Here comes Al!
