“Georgia’s Immigration laws “Cruel and Shameful,” says Che Guevara fan Carlos Santana

Multi-Grammy winner Carlos Santana received the Major Baseball League's "Beacon of Change Award," this Sunday during its annual "Civil Rights Game" in Atlanta. On his T-shirts, the Mexican-born Carlos Santana honors a Stalinist who abolished all civil rights in Cuba, craved to abolish them worldwide, belittled Mexicans as "a rabble of illiterate Indians," and craved to nuke Santana's adopted country-- the one that showered him with multiple honors and millions of dollars. ("If the missiles had remained in Cuba we would have fired them at the heart of the U.S." Che Guevara to Sam Russell of The London Daily Worker, Nov. 1962)

Rapper Who Hails Stalinist Mass-Murderer Invited to White House

For inviting the rapper-"poet" named "Common," to the White House, our First Lady is currently taking some heat. Common's lyric, it appears, are a trifle "racy," plus in his "poetry", he hails Black-Panther/Cop-killer Joan "Assata Shakur" Chesimard.

Castro and Che’s Foiled (and Forgotten) 9/11

"I'm proud of the path of Osama bin Laden,” gushed Ilich Ramírez Sánchez from a French prison in 2002. Ramirez was also known during the 1970’s as "Carlos the Jackal," and “The World's Most Wanted Terrorist." In 1967 Ramirez-Sanchez was an eager recruit into Cuba's "guerrilla" (terror) training camps started by Che Guevara in 1959. "Bin Laden has followed a trail I myself blazed,” he continued during an interview with the London-based pan-Arab daily Al-Hayat. “I followed news of the September 11 attacks on the United States non-stop from the beginning. I can't describe that wonderful feeling of relief!"

When Eric Holder Earned his Spurs

The New Black Panther Party threatened Philadelphia voters with billy clubs and Eric Holder’s justice department couldn’t be bothered. CAIR was accused of fundraising for Hamas, and Eric Holder shrugged.

On Earth Day, Thank a Hunter

‘In 1970, a Senator from Wisconsin named Gaylord Nelson raised his voice and called on every American to take action on behalf of the environment,” read President Obama’s Earth Day proclamation last year. “In the four decades since, millions of Americans have heeded that call and joined together to protect the planet we share.”

An Anniversary of Heroism and Shame—the Bay of Pigs at Fifty

"They fought like tigers," writes the CIA officer who helped train the Cubans who splashed ashore at the Bay of Pigs 50 years ago this week. "But their fight was doomed before the first man hit the beach." That CIA man, Grayston Lynch, knew something about fighting – and about long odds. He carried scars from Omaha Beach, The Battle of the Bulge and Korea's Heartbreak Ridge. But in those battles Lynch and his band of brothers counted on the support of their Commander in Chief. At the Bay of Pigs, Grayston Lynch (an American) and his band of brothers (Cubans) learned — first in speechless shock and finally in burning rage — that their most powerful enemies were not Castro's Soviet-armed soldiers massing in nearby Santa Clara, but the Ivy League's best and brightest dithering in Washington.

Marco Rubio Presents “a Clear and Present Danger to America”

Well it’s about time somebody had the guts to go on record! It’s high time to quit coddling a mostly foreign-born ethnic group that brazenly supports-- and even harbors-- terrorists! Many Americans have had it up to here with these swarthy, screaming, fist-pumping hot-heads! This Trojan horse against our national security must be called out! Exposed!

Jimmy Carter Charms the Castro Brothers in Havana

Embracing a recent invitation by the Castro brothers Jimmy Carter visited Cuba this week. “We greeted each other as old friends,” gushed Carter regarding his meeting with Fidel Castro.

Air Cover for Libyan Rebels, None for Cuban Freedom-Fighters

“Where are the planes?” kept crackling over U.S. Navy radios 50 years ago next month. The U.S. Naval armada (22 ships including the Carrier Essex loaded with deadly Skyhawk jets) was sitting 16 miles off the Cuban coast near an inlet known as Bahia de Cochinos (Bay of Pigs.) The question—bellowed between blasts from a Soviet artillery and tank barrage landing around him--came from commander, Pepe San Roman, who led an amphibious force of 1500 Cuban freedom-fighters. “Send planes or we can’t last!” San Roman kept pleading to the very fleet that escorted his men to the beachhead (and sat much closer to them than the Sixth Fleet sits to the Libyan coast today.) Meanwhile the barrage intensified, the Soviet T-34 and Stalin tanks closed in, and San Roman’s casualties pile up.

Hispanic Heroines for “Women’s History Month”

When feminist icon Barbara Walters sat quivering alongside Fidel Castro in 1977 cooing: “Fidel Castro has brought very high literacy and great health-care to his country. His personal magnetism is powerful!” dozens of Cuban suffragettes suffered in torture chambers within walking distance of the hyperventilating Ms Barbara Walters.

Castro Condemns Jewish American Aid Worker to 15 Years in Prison

On Saturday Castro's court handed down a sentence of 15 years to Alan Gross, a contractor for USAID jailed in Cuba since Dec. 2009 for bringing cell-phone and internet equipment into Castro's fiefdom. Mr Gross was trying to help Cuba's tiny Jewish community communicate more freely with the outside world.

Charlie Sheen “the Che Guevara of Television” says Morgan Piers

Last week on his show Piers Morgan Tonight, the smitten host gushed that his impromptu guest Charlie Sheen is “the Che Guevara of television” and “one of life’s great characters.” What a wild and crazy guy, that Che Guevara! CNN was the first U.S. network Fidel Castro bestowed with a Havana Bureau. So maybe Morgan’s epic stupidity is not the only factor at work here. But let’s get started.

Libya is no Cuba, Gadaffi is no Castro or Che Guevara

"The only real power comes out of a rifle." Joseph Stalin "Death is the solution to all problems - no man, no problem." Joseph Stalin "I trust no one, not even myself." Joseph Stalin. “I have sworn before a picture of the old and mourned comrade Stalin that I won't rest until I see these capitalist octopuses annihilated!” Che Guevara 1956.

A Genuine Black American Hero for Black History Month

Black History Month just ended-so can I nominate a genuine Black American hero for next year's? Don't look for this from Oprah, Tavis Smiley, The Congressional Black Caucus, or anywhere in the MSM including (especially!) The History Channel, or PBS but the second in command of the freedom-fighters who hit the Bay of Pigs beachhead 50 years ago was a black Cuban (and today a proud U.S. citizen and retired Major General of the U.S. Amy) named Erneido Oliva.

Sen. Marco Rubio vs Pres. Obama on National Security

Senator Marco Rubio's first filed amendment seeks to enhance our national security. Naturally this entails trying to nullify a recent Obama Executive Order. Last month president Obama, finally despairing that the U.S. legislature could scrounge enough votes to rescue Castro's regime, signed an executive order further opening U.S. travel to Cuba, and thus further enriching Castro's spy, military and security forces, who own Cuba's "travel industry." The Executive order will open more U.S. airports to direct flights to and from a nation our own State Department classifies as a state sponsor of terrorism.

Eric Holder Partners with Fidel Castro—Again

Last month the U.S. Dept. of Justice, at U.S. taxpayer expense, transported a Lieut.Col. of Fidel Castro's KGB-trained secret police named Roberto Hernandez-Caballero to a U.S. courtroom.

Che Guevara among “World’s Top Political Icons”—says Time Magazine

Time Magazine just listed Che Guevara among the world's top 25 political icons. Che ranks number 9, between Adolph Hitler (8) and Ronald Reagan (10.) Mao Tse Tung ranks 3^rd, Genghis Khan 5th, and Mohandas Gandhi 1st.

A Slobbering Love Affair—Cuban Americans and Ronald Reagan

Cuban-Americans gave Ronald Reagan 90 per cent of their vote. No other American ethnic group approached this level of devotion. Even “southern whites,” America’s most reliably Republican voting bloc, fell short of this “Hispanic” group’s support for The Gipper. A visit to Miami’s Cuban Memorial Cemetery might help explain the phenomenon.

The Cuban Hostage Crisis, Day 400

On December 3^rd 2009 Alan Gross, a U.S. citizen distributing cell phones and computer equipment to Cuba's Jewish community on contract for the U.S. Agency for International Development, prepared to board a plane homeward at Havana's International Airport. Hovering nearby, but unnoticed by Mr Gross, were plainclothes officers of Castro's KGB-trained secret-police.

Whole Lotta Stupidity—Jimmy Page Visits Cuba, Honors Che Guevara

Following in the footsteps of (among many other flower-children) Stephen Stills, Bonnie Raitt, Chrissie Hynde, Jimmy Buffet, and Carole King (who in 2002 serenaded Fidel Castro with a personal "You've Got a Friend") guitar legend Jimmy Page made the pilgrimage to Cuba this week.
