Congress: Harry Reid's skill at making money in real estate makes Donald Trump look like an apprentice. If he ever writes his autobiography, it should be called "The Art of the Shady Deal."
If you accept Harry Reid's explanation that his most recent land deal is on the square, then he has a bridge to sell you. No, not that bridge. Another bridge built over the Colorado River a few miles from property in northern Arizona he bought at about $167 an acre. He doesn't own that bridge, either.
But he has sold land he did not own at the time he sold it before.
It is presumably due to his real estate skills that Reid can afford to stay at the Ritz-Carlton when he's in Washington, D.C., and can afford to pass out $3,000 in Christmas bonuses to its staff. Oops, that was money from his campaign fund, a federal no-no.
Time and space do not permit reciting the complete catalog of the ethically challenged Reid's escapades. But they all have a familiar ring to them — the ring of a cash register.
Last fall, we commented on how Reid in 2001 failed to disclose to Congress a transfer of land to a company owned by another friend, one Jay Brown, the sale of which would net Reid a cool $1.1 million from land he no longer owned.
Moving Nevada forward. Got it.

Yes, you did do that a few days ago!
Obviously a culture of corruption in the Leadership of the Democrat(ick) US Senate.
Because I have contributed to both the National and Michigan GOP, I am entitled to receive phone calls on occasion asking for money. I have resolved that my question back to the callers is going to be, "What are you going to do with the money?" If I get a mail solicitation that is postage paid I will take the time to write the same question on the payment slip in lieu of enclosing a check. The GOP organizations are as complicit in this crap as are the dishonorable democraps.
You are so right and your idea is "right on." Until the leadership acknowledges their cowardice and fights back, we're doomed to having Liberals taking away our rights and destroying our great nation. America is in peril at the hands of the likes of Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, and the rest of the socialist, anti-America, anti-military, anti-freedom crowd. Their agenda is power, power, power and destroy, destroy, destroy.
Nancy Pelosi is now getting a big US Air Force plane to fly her , her friends, and her campaign donors around.
It is bigger than what the last speaker had.
And children come up to him in restaraunts and tell him "mistah harry I wanna be just like you wen I grow up"
