Harry Reid Has a Few Words for Washington (and he doesn't like Trump)
NYT ^ | 01/02/19 | Mark Leibovich

Posted on 01/02/2019 6:55:48 AM PST by yesthatjallen

Reid has decided to live out his last years in Henderson, a fast-growing and transient Las Vegas suburb. His house is in the upscale Anthem neighborhood: a fortified village of beige dwellings of various sizes and otherwise indistinguishable appearances. There is a Witness Protection Program vibe to the place, accentuated by the security detail.

Reid, who is 79, does not have long to live. I hate to be so abrupt about this, but Reid probably would not mind. In May, he went in for a colonoscopy, the results of which caused concern among his doctors. This led to an M.R.I. that turned up a lesion on Reid’s pancreas: cancer. Reid’s subdued and slightly cold manner, and aggressive anticharisma, have always made him an admirably blunt assessor of situations, including, now, his own: “As soon as you discover you have something on your pancreas, you’re dead.”

Harry,

Our heavenly Father is willing to forgive you if you come to Him on His terms.

No sin to too great to forgive except rejecting the very means of attaining forgiveness.

You have time to confess your sins, repent, and ask for the gift of eternal life until you draw your last breath.

Your gateway to heaven is the one called Jesus.

Although I deeply dislike this man (and prefer to call him a son of a bitch), I remain resolute in prayer that he does not suffer and if so be it, he recovers.

“Reid, who is 79, does not have long to live.”

“The outgoing Senate Minority Leader even bragged to CNN that the comments, which had been described as McCarthyism, helped keep Romney from winning the election.

“They can call it whatever they want. Romney didn’t win did he?” Reid said during a wide-ranging interview.”

I wonder how he will try to explain this to St. Peter?

He will not ask for forgiveness. Romney, like Reid is a Mormon. His own brother took out his eye. Does Trump owe him anything?

Reid is and has always been a self centered and self service person. His leadership in the Senate was never about America, it was always about “the party” and what he could do to advance his Socialist agenda.

To me, he is a bitter, resentful, untrustworthy politician. A double dealing man who holds grudges and abused his position.

His brother did a service for America when he beat the crap out of Harry. To bad it wasn’t sooner or more often.

Not one to pile on and never to wish this on anyone having watched a wife die of cancer, but I’ve gotten callous as I’ve gotten older and will say I won’t weep a tear when he is gone. At least he will not have a lot of time to enjoy the spoils he stole from the American people. May God be the one who has mercy in his soul, I cannot.

Harry Reid's connection to the nefarious "Clinton Global Initiative" has yet to be investigated (smirk).

PUT ON YOUR TINFOIL HATS AND CONNECT THE DOTS:

(1) Harry Reid's son Rory is in business w/ the Chi/Coms on a multi-billion dollar solar energy project;
btw, Cliven Bundy and his land were standing in the way.

(2) Bill Clinton went to China to panhandle for his tax-exempt "Clinton Global Initiative".

(3) The "Clinton Global Initiative" (NOT KNOWN for giving out grants to theatres)---gave Harry Reid's granddaughter a grant for a Brooklyn, NY theatre she runs (what is a Brooklyn theatre's connection to "global initiatives?")

(4) A Nevada energy company also gave Reid's granddaughter's theatre group a grant.

================================================

"Money laundering" comes to mind. Could the Chinese be
financing the Reids' solar project through donations to the Clintons....which was then laundered to Reid's granddaughter?

================================================

REFERENCE----HARRY REID IS LIVID THAT HIS GRAND-DAUGHTER HAS BEEN OUTED AS A RECIPIENT OF LAUNDERED CAMPAIGN CASH---Reid lashed out at reporters, saying, “My granddaughter has been the target of harassing phone calls, strangers tracking her down, knocking on her door and negative, unwanted attention on the Internet.” “This has gone too far and it needs to stop now,” Reid said. “I deeply regret any role I had in creating this situation but now, as a grandparent, I say enough is enough.”

============================================

Besides the "jewelry company" financed by her grandfather, Ryan Elisabeth Reid runs the Sprat Theater Company, a small theater in Brooklyn, which is also coming under scrutiny. According to Sprat’s Theatre Company Web site, it has received grants/contributions from:

<><> the Clinton Global Initiative (connected to global terrorism via Muslim Brotherhood employee),
<><> two major Las Vegas foundations: Caesar’s Foundation, and the NV Energy Foundation.

NOTE NV Energy Foundation---is a non-profit division of NV Energy (a public utility). The NV Energy utility is a subsidiary of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company which took over in 2013....and is now owned by a Warren Buffet unit.

Harry and grand-daughter Ryan Elizabeth Reid.

ABC-TV reported on suspicious visas to Chinese investors being fast-tracked -- and the role Democrat Harry Reid, played. Officials overseeing a federal program that offers an immigration short-cut to wealthy foreign investors have ignored pointed warnings from federal agents and approved visas for some immigrants suspected of having committed fraud, money laundering, and even one applicant with alleged ties to a child porn website, an ABC News investigation has found.

The shortcomings prompted DHS concerns that the boutique immigration program would be exploited by terrorists, according to internal documents obtained by ABC News.

“It is shocking,” said Sen. Charles Grassley, an Iowa Republican. “Particularly when you have FBI and other law enforcement agencies that are saying national security could be compromised or is being compromised -- that's enough for us to be concerned.”

Five different Homeland Security whistleblowers spoke with ABC News about a range of cases where visas were approved despite numerous red flags. They said objections were often ignored because the immigration program is so popular within the Obama Administration and with members of Congress from both parties.

===============================================

In an earlier statement, Sen Charles Grassley (Rep-Iowa) exposed the visa
program----Grassley said ICE identified key vulnerabilities in EB-5 visas

1) Export of sensitive technology/economic espionage.

2) Use by foreign government agents/espionage.

3) Use by terrorists.

4) Investment fraud by regional center.

5) Investment fraud by investors.

6) Fraud conspiracies by investors and regional center.

7) Illicit finance/money laundering.

=========================================================

Obama's hand-picked henchman, USCIS' Leon Rodrigues, oversees EB-5 visas. Under Obama/Rodrigues' purview---EB-5's are said to involve major threats to US national security:

NEED TO KNOW----ARE REID/OBAMA/RODRIGUES SELLING US CITIZENSHIP TO:

<><> (a) MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS,

<><>(b) ISIS TERRORISTS,

<><> (c) FOREIGNERS FINANCING THE OVERTHROW OF THE US GOVT.

CIRCA 2015-—IG Report: Reid More Involved in Visa Controversy Than Previously Known
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 3-25-2015 | Lachlan Markay /
FR Posted by Citizen Zed

The Senate’s top Democrat was more deeply involved than previously known in an effort to secure U.S. visas for Chinese investors in a Las Vegas casino despite the concerns of career federal officials, according to an inspector general report released on Tuesday.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) and his staff received weekly updates from top officials at U.S. Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) regarding the status of visas for investors in the SLS Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, the report reveals.

Executives at the casino’s parent company, a client of Reid’s son Rory, donated thousands of dollars to Reid’s campaign after he helped speed consideration of its applications for visas for its Chinese investors.

That expedited consideration came despite warnings from career USCIS officials that applicants had forged paperwork, tried to conceal the sources of their investment, and, in one case, had ties to a child pornography business.

HARRY REID AND THE $4.3 BILLION DOLLAR "MISTAKE"----Then Sen Mary Landrieu (DEM-LA) sold her Obamacare aye vote for a "price." Landrieu was bought off in what Forbes Magazine dubbed "The 'Louisiana Purchase" that included a massive $4.3 Billion to Landrieu.

FORBES REPORTED the Democrats’ nailed Landrieu’s support for Obamacare w/ a greenback bribe. Landrieu, critics believe, pledged her vote in exchange for some $200 million more additional federal funds for Louisiana. Except that, due to a drafting error, the law ended up giving Louisiana $4.3 billion: more than twenty times the assigned amount. MORE HERE http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml

How $4.3 billion to Landrieu was attached to the Obamacare bill, and how Obama and Reid failed to catch and fix it, is yet another indictment of the Obamacare atrocity. The payoff to Landrieu should be investigated as an indication of how EVERY Democrat came to vote for Obamacare.

========================================

BACKSTORY In the fall of 2009, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was trying to get the necessary 60 Dimocrat votes to pass the Affordable Care Act. He needed every Dim on board, which gave waffling senators a great deal of leverage. In Landrieu's case, she connivingly saw that selling her aye vote could get her maybe $200 million federal dollars. Obama complied--- Reid chalked up another vote for Obamacare---and the $4.3 Landrieu giveaway was attached to the Obamacare bill.

<><> Where's the money, Harry?

Some Reid staffers exempt from Obamacare
CNN.com | December 4, 2013 | Chris Frates / FR Posted by Biggirl

Washington (CNN) -- Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, one of Obamacare's architects and staunchest supporters, is also the only top congressional leader to exempt some of his staff from having to buy insurance through the law's new exchanges. (Excerpt) Read more at cnn.com ...

=======================================

As GOPJ posted Democrats are either (1) jerks, (2) crooks, (3) liars, or (4) fools......... (5) or some combination thereof.

Mmmmmmm....as for me, I just can't decide which. Guess I'll go w/ all five......or as they say, "winner take all."

When the Lord said He would rain down pestilence's dire, including demons, war, famine, flood, and fire......who knew that included Democrats in Congress?
