Author Schweizer: Pelosi Made Killing Off of Most In-Demand IPO in History

By Paul Scicchitano and Ashley Martella

As Congress weighs a measure that would ban insider trading among lawmakers and federal workers, the conservative author whose book touched off a national maelstrom on the topic, insists that the practice rises to the level of corruption.

“There’s no question about it. We are supposed to be a country governed by laws, not by men,” charges conservative author Peter Schweizer in an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV.

A research fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, Schweizer chronicles alleged abuses by members of both the House and the Senate in his new book, “Throw Them All Out,” which was heavily featured on “60 Minutes” with reporter Steve Kroft going after leaders of the two parties in the House on camera.

Both Speaker John Boehner and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi denied they had done anything wrong. But officials have been considering various measures to stop the practice, including the STOCK Act, which has attracted wide support.

“There’s no laws that are broken. They’re free to take these sweetheart, so-called friends and family [Initial Public Offering” IPO stock,” explains Schweizer. “One of the reforms I propose is that we need to ban them because they are doled out to friends in terms of people looking for favors.”

Schweizer says there should be a “zero tolerance policy” for any lawmaker who benefits financially from knowledge acquired through their House or Senate jobs, similar to trading rules that have existed for years with respect to corporate executives.

Decorating for the Holidays

The older you get, the easier Christmas decorating gets.

I go to our walk-in closet in the back bedroom (we have two bedrooms, but one is an office and catch-all), take out the little two foot tree, already decorated. It is right where I put it last New Years Day.

Take the little two foot tree and walk to the lviing room.

Place the little two foot tree on the buffet that my Dad made

Plug it in

Decorating is done for another year.

Reid Loses - Nevada Gone - TinC News

Senator Harry Reid announced today that if his state does not reelect him to the Senate, he will do everything in his power to outlaw gambling in Nevada. He stated further, "If Nancy loses her Speakers position, she is going to resign from the House, and join me in my crusade to take gambling out of the state, we are both very serious about this. After all I have done for this state, if they can't get me reelected I don't want to have anything to do with them, they can turn the whole damn state into a big amusement park for all I care."

"Hell, I even brought in stimulus money by the millions to the casinos, I got a million and a half for a Gamblers Anonymous group so they would have available money for those who "got off the wagon" to blow in the joints, yea, joints, that's what they are, gambling halls, gin joints, bust out houses, call them whatever you want, the ingrates, after all I've done for them," he concluded with.

He and Pelosi have started a Political Action Non-Profit Group, NMCIN (No More Casinos In Nevada) and with their clout have already raised over eighty-five million dollars to run TV ads prior to the election next week. The ads show Nevada as it was in the 30's, a barren wasteland, and sand covered casinos in Las Vegas. One shows the Welcome Podner Cowboy sign, crying and waving, "So Long Podner."

Reid indicated that the retaliation would start on Wednesday morning, the day after the election, "If the vote went the wrong way. Let's see how far they get without a Federal Gaming Stamp and a Nevada Gaming License.

The Nevada Gaming Commission issued this statement. "Without a Federal Gaming Stamp the casinos will have to shut down, there is nothing we can do. We have been warned by Reid that if he loses, he will pull all the Federal Stamps on all the casinos in Nevada. We'll be a state full of hotels and motels and bars, hookers and b-flats (entertainers) and nothing to draw the people. Maybe the golf courses and the pools will keep us afloat, but I doubt it. If Reid loses, the state goes under."

Former Brothel King with HUD a TinC exclusive

An undisclosed source in Washington revealed yesterday that recent unemployment figures and home sales decline had caused HUD to come up with some drastic measures. He indicated that HUD had contacted Nevada brothel owner, Joe Conforte, who is presently living in Brazil to avoid prosecution in this country, and told him that charges would be dropped, if he returned to this country as an advisor to HUD.


His area of expertise in prostitution would be put to use in finding some common denominator between housing and prostitution as the two go hand in hand.

They further indicated that they had approached Bernard Madoff to see if there was any interest on his part to arrange financing for the proposed operation. They indicated to him that an "early release" might be arranged or that an office and staff would be made available to him in prison.

HUD did not go in to the details of their plan but one can only speculate on the outcome of a prostitution king, a money generator, housing available and unemployed women.

The aging Conforte, former owner of the Triangle Ranch and the Mustang Ranch, was quoted as saying, "Eet wuld be bueno to get back to the US. I haff many friends there and of course mucho dinero (money) buried that the IRS knows nada about. I guess I have peeked up some of the language since I have been down here."

It will be interesting to see the outcome of this alliance.
