Joy Reid, radical leftist news commentator, went Tweet crazy when President Trump announced on Friday he was rescinding much of President Obama’s order loosening diplomatic relations with communist Cuba.
And although most of them amounted to outrage that yet another imprudent Obama administration policy was going by the wayside, there is one President Trump should print out and tape to his office wall.
“Trump name checks Assata Shakur (calls her by her former name, Joanne Chesimard) as a dog whistle to his people. #Trumping Cuba,” she tweeted.
Reid is angry Trump not only rescinded what he called the “completely one-sided deal” then-President Obama cut with the Cubans in 2014, but that he demanded – as a condition of improved relations – that Cuba return Chesimard to the United States for trial.
And yes, he did call her by her original name because that’s the name that has sat atop the FBI’s Most Wanted List for New Jersey since 1979.
On May 2, 1973, Chesimard and two men, all members of the radical and violent Black Liberation Army, were stopped by New Jersey State Police on the Jersey Turnpike. Another officer nearing the end of his shift, Werner Foerster, stopped to provide backup.
The trio in the car struggled with the officers, and they eventually wrestled Foerster’s gun from him.
Foerster, who had two young children, was fatally wounded – Chesimard herself shot him twice in the face after the struggle just to make sure – and another officer was wounded. One of the attackers was killed, and Chesimard and the other attacker were tried and convicted in the case.
Chesimard, aka Assata Shakur (the rapper Tupac Shakur was her godson and nephew), spent time in several prisons during the 1970s but escaped in 1979. She lived as a fugitive in the United States for five years, then fled to Cuba, where she received political asylum.
Chesimard, who has been there since, will turn 70 next month. She has walked free for nearly 40 years despite having wantonly murdered a state police officer. Donald Trump thinks it is time for her to come home and face her sentence, and he is not willing to play footsy with communists while a convicted cop killer suns herself on their beaches.
And Joy Reid thinks it’s all about a “dog whistle” meant to gratify “his people.”
Darn right it was a dog whistle to his people. This was President Trump saying it was wrong to let slide the human rights abuses of the past, to give Cuba relief from the sanctions without getting or even expecting anything in return.
That it was wrong to lavish millions in American travel dollars on a country that has not lifted a finger to provide free and fair elections, free its thousands of political prisoners or recognize opposition political parties. That it was insane to spend money that could make its way to the Cuban military or abusive security services.
That the ban on tourism and embargoes on various goods was still in place and would again be enforced. That any American money that makes its way into Cuba – he spared a couple of deals that already were under way – would go to the people and not enable their repressive rulers.
And it was a dog whistle to law enforcement – another in a series of messages that emanated from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue since Jan. 20 and before – that President Trump has their back in a way his predecessor never did. Trump sees law enforcement as a force for good, not a nuisance or a jackboot on the necks of the American people.
And he sees people such as Joanne Chesimard as indefensible, unlike Joy Reid, who prefers to use the name Chesimard used when she was out murdering cops.
And she is indefensible. The FBI opened a nationwide manhunt for her in 1972 after it was alleged the Black Liberation Army cell she led had conducted a series of cold-blooded, execution-style murders of New York City police officers. An NYPD deputy commissioner called her “the final wanted fugitive, the soul of the gang, the mother hen who kept them together, kept them moving, kept them shooting.”
Yes, how cynical of President Trump to insist a remorseless cop-killer – perhaps one of the most calculating in American history – be returned before we open the golden doors to Cuba. How cynical of him to call her by her name, so police around the country would know he cares about the people who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe.
Darn right it was a dog whistle to his people. His people are the law-abiding citizens of the United States, and they’re happy to have a president again who cares about bringing cop killers to justice.
Joy Reid, there are no words for your level of stupid.
It’s interesting people like Joy Reid and Joy Behardht are the most vile and hateful people (inside and out) and are the complete opposite of what their name Joy is supposed to evoke.
"Racist," "Sexist," "Homophobia," "Islamophobia," "War on Women," "War on Children," "Global Warming Denier," and "Birthist" are just a few of the Left's "dog whistles."
There are many others.
Joanne Chesimard
Is a hero of the Left.
All you need to know.
You live and work with people on a daily basis, you talk with them, you think you understand them, and then you find out that they lionize Joanne Chesimard. How can you live with people like that? How can you respect them? They have revealed that their fundamental assumptions about life, law, and civilization are different than yours.
This is not a dog whistle. This is a test. This is a way to sort decent people from the indecent.
If a person accepts that Joanne Chesimard is a criminal, who deserves to sit in an American jail for the rest of her life, there is a chance that I can deal with that person on the rational basis. If a person does not accept that, if a person thinks that it is a good thing that she is living free in Cuba, there is no way I am going to be able to deal with that person, and it is best to just limit contact as much as possible.
You have to sort the sheep from the goats, and this case is a good way to do that.
What do you have against goats?
With you all the way ‘til the last line. Joanne Chesimard is a beast in ways that no goat, or any other animal could match. Only crazed humans are capable of such savagery & hatred.
Maybe POTUS was just trying to drum up attendance for the just released bio-pic(heard it will be a low grossing piece) embracing the thug POS that was her godson. This from Thegrio.com:
Her godson, Tupac Shakur, was probably the biggest name ever in rap music. Many have fantasized that Pac is in Cuba right now, chillin’ with his step aunt. Although most people gravitate to the thug in Pac, he had revolutionary blood in his veins. He’s mother was a Black Panther and his stepfather Mutulu Shakur, also an activist, is considered a political prisoner by his supporters. Mutulu is in jail right now for helping his sister, Assata, in her escape from prison on November 2, 1979. These are the ones Tupac considered “real n***as.” We absorbed that in his songs as he name checked them.

I bet there was not a peep from this female dog when the media name checked Abdel Rahim to Richard Reid...
(oh great, now I'm in trouble with the sheep lovers... Any Scotsmen here?!?)
I would be gratified if the US, led by President Trump and his dog whistle, perused and imprisoned her for the rest of her natural life. (or killed her in the process.)
"Racist," "Sexist," "Homophobia," "Islamophobia," "War on Women," "War on Children," "Global Warming Denier," and "Birthist" are just a few of the Left's "dog whistles."
There are many others.
Leftists invariably accuse others of doing what they themselves are doing.
She changed her name to Ass Shaker? SMH
and it is best to just limit contact as much as possible.
think of the John Derbyshire piece, remember the context of that piece, and you’ll see the value of limited contact on a much broader scale...
At least the left-wing media isn’t pretending that it isn’t in favor of killing cops anymore. They’ve been actively promoting cop killing for a while now, but used to pretend they were just “reporting news.” There’s something to appreciate in the new frankness of the left.
Police and Law Enforcement

Scalise shooting: US Capitol Police hailed as heroes
Thank God Capitol Police were on scene when the deranged man began his shooting spree aimed at GOP congressmen and senators. It’s clear the courageous police officers on the scene prevented a tragedy of epic proportions. Those GOP members of Congress were sitting ducks. Without brave police there, wiling to lay down their lives in the line of duty, it would have been a massacre.
But this was no anomaly. The police protect and serve every day, in every corner of our country.
Take my hometown of Las Vegas.
Last weekend, Vegas was home to one of the great positive stories in the media this year. It was Saturday’s graduation of Las Vegas high school senior Daxton Alyn Beck, the son of slain Las Vegas police officer Alyn Beck.

I could not read that story without crying. Tears were flowing from this macho Republican businessman who never cries. I was taught by my wonderful dad David Root- a real man’s man- that men don’t cry. Well I broke his rule on Sunday when I read the story of Daxton Alyn Beck. My tears were tears of both sadness and joy.

It really warmed my heart to hear The President ask for the return of Joanne Chesimard in his major Cuba speech. He GETS it. He stands with law enforcement and he will make sure justice is served.
Predictably Cuba said no. Ok then. They can rebuff us if they want...maybe it makes them feel big and assertive and whatnot. But if the President of the Unites States mentions her in a major speech...guess what? That means we’re getting her.
We don’t want to break a sweat over how Chesimard is brought to justice either. It’s really all up to Cuba. So think it over Castro.
