Pelosi’s Coiffure – Recalling the 1990s House Bank and House Post Office Scandals [Buck Throckmorton]
Americans have long been sick of the special privileges our elites have awarded themselves. During Covid, however, with our elite politicians excusing themselves from the draconian restrictions they impose on the rest of us, it feels like a major backlash is brewing.
Queen Pelosi’s coiffure may be the last straw. It brings back memories of the House Bank and Post Office scandals from the 1990s - scandals that flushed out a generation of corrupt Democratic leaders, including the Speaker of The House. The House Of Representatives had created the “House Bank”, an institution to which they could deposit money. More importantly, it served as a cash dispenser from which they could write checks against accounts which had no cash on deposit. There were no penalties or consequences for an unlimited number of bounced checks, which effectively created an unlimited credit line to cover those bounced checks. From Congressional Quarterly:Revelations that hundreds of sitting and former House members for years had routinely overdrawn their House bank accounts without penalty shook the House throughout 1992. The scandal, which touched more members than any ethics controversy in congressional history, drove some members to retire and helped defeat others in primary or general elections.
Of the 269 sitting members with overs, 77 — more than one in four — retired or were defeated in primary or general election bids for the House or other offices. That was a far higher casualty rate than other members suffered. Only 28 of 166 members (about one in six) with clean bank records had their political careers cut short.The Speaker Of The House tried to blame its own creation, the House Bank, for Congress’ lawless corruption.
In an April 17 column he [Speaker of the House Thomas Foley] wrote for The New York Times: “The members named yesterday did not abuse their banking privileges. It would be more accurate to say that most members were abused by the bank.”The Ethics Committee Chairman was bouncing hundreds of checks, in an ethical manner no doubt.
Among the surprises was the news that the ethics committee's chairman — Louis Stokes, D-Ohio — overdrew his account 551 times. Stokes, who became chairman of the ethics committee for the second time in 1991, had recused himself from the bank investigation after acknowledging that he had overdrawn his account “on occasions.” But he had given no hint of the magnitude of the problem.
A leaked document showed that as many as 28 current members had $10,000-plus overs at some point.This was just in 1992. By 1994, Dan Rostenkowski, the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, was indicted for crimes associated with his privileged position as Chairman of the most powerful Congressional committee. Among them was obtaining at least $50,000 in cash from the House Post Office by disguising the transactions as stamp purchases. Other Congressmen were also laundering cash payments to themselves through the House Post Office.
The indictment says Mr. Kolter illegally obtained more than $11,000 from 1985 through 1990 by disguising cash payments from the House post office as stamp purchases by his Congressional office.Voters had finally had enough of the Washington elite Democrats. In 1994 Republicans won 54 House seats, flipping the House to the GOP for the first time in four decades. Republicans also picked up 8 seats in the Senate that year. Among the casualties that year – Speaker of the House Thomas Foley. It’s starting to smell a lot like 1994.

There might be some purging done to certain Dems in the house and Senate this election cycle.
But, like Dan Rostenkowski, the deep blue constituency of those districts/states will elect the Dem candidate the next time around.

I am not sure shame is an effective weapon in most solid Blue districts these days - when you can have the mayor in Pelosi's core city call the President a terrorist - life has changed since 92. Now what would be interesting would be the release of the Congressional Pharmacy records - that would be a pardon worthy breach for sure.

Cooler temps are usually a good thing as far as firefighters are concerned. Or at least so they keep telling us. Hopefully the storm will also dump enough snow and/or rain to knock the fire down some.

But, it was a bit of a shock when RR was elected. But again, not at the level of surprise as PDT's win in 2016.

The Senate will stop the next impeachment though. And they'll give us judges of highly dubious quality, instead of avowed Communists. But the GOP no longer serves any legislative function.

"But, like Dan Rostenkowski, the deep blue constituency of those
districts/states will elect the Dem candidate the next time around."
I lived in Rostenkowski's district when he was sent down the river. We sent a Republican to Congress for the first time in God knows how long. He lasted one term, to be replaced first by Rod Blagojevich; then, when he was elected governor of Illinois, by Rahm Emmanuel. The current incumbent, a guy named Quinn, is 100% a machine guy: he does what they tell him and nothing more. Boy, we sure know how to pick 'em!

Democrat voters put up with certain things from their elected. Sex stuff hardly matters, and graft is excused. But blatant hypocrisy is more serious, especially when it concerns day-to-day affairs, like not being able to get your fucking hair done but that cunt did and then instead of apologizing blamed everyone else.
Women voters are even stupider than men, but that may open some eyes. We'll know in November.

In Oregon the statement for the GOP will not be included in the state voters pamphlet. The Secretary of State says it was received 29 seconds late.
The GOP is claiming it was e-mailed in plenty of time.
IN WA the candidate statement for the primary run of Culp, the man now running against Inslee was left out of the primary voters pamphlet because the Secretary of State here said it was never received. Culps people have e-mail records showing it was sent early and at least three times.Unlike OR, the WA Sec of State is alleged to be a Republican.

re 55: I remember that election. Considering what a shitty job Jimmy Carter did, I can't say Reagan's win was a great surprise.
One thing I sort of do remember is that we were told in 1976 that Carter's four years as gov of Georgia meant that he was an outsider with new ideas, whereas Reagan in '80 with 8 years as gov of Cal didn't have enough experience.

In 1994 Republicans won 54 House seats, flipping the House to the GOP for the first time in four decades. Republicans also picked up 8 seats in the Senate that year. Among the casualties that year - Speaker of the House Thomas Foley.
Posted by: Open Blogger at 03:40 PM
I was 16 years old in 1992 and would not become politically aware until almost 10 years later, on 09/11/2001. And I have never researched this, so had no idea about it.
That said, the emboldened part is exactly why the Democrats were doing it. They were in power for *four decades* with apparently no check and balance on their power. They had the media fully behind them and the GOP likely as spineless then as they are now. So they thought they were untouchable, would never be out of power and therefore could get away with anything.
I hope you're right that this November will be another 1994. But I will believe it when I see it.
Over the past 18+ years of following politics and seeing how the American electorate seems to default to supporting Democrats, I've become completely cynical.
I thought for sure the American electorate would reject a radical like Obama in 2008. Then believed for certain that they would not re-elect him when they finally had a decent choice in a businessman in a time when the economy and jobs were a priority.
I was devastated both times.
And that was it for me any my naive optimism. When Trump won in 2016, I was ecstatic. Completely surprised that he won and even more surprised when he took Michigan.
But after that came 2018 when Democrats were swept into office in Michigan. And there went any hope of me thinking optimistically for 2020.
I will do my part to get people to the polls for Trump in November, but I'm preparing myself for the worst. At least here in Michigan. Taking the state by 10,700 votes, after a Republican not winning the state in almost 3 decades, that is not a very solid foundation.
We'll see what happens in 8 weeks...

I was 16 years old in 1992 and would not become politically aware until almost 10 years later, on 09/11/2001. And I have never researched this, so had no idea about it.
That said, the emboldened part is exactly why the Democrats were doing it. They were in power for *four decades* with apparently no check and balance on their power. They had the media fully behind them and the GOP likely as spineless then as they are now. So they thought they were untouchable, would never be out of power and therefore could get away with anything.
I hope you're right that this November will be another 1994. But I will believe it when I see it.
Over the past 18+ years of following politics and seeing how the American electorate seems to default to supporting Democrats, I've become completely cynical.
I thought for sure the American electorate would reject a radical like Obama in 2008. Then believed for certain that they would not re-elect him when they finally had a decent choice in a businessman in a time when the economy and jobs were a priority.

I remember one of Eric Flint's alternate history novels where a Barberini Pope was having a conference with his nephews, Cardinal Barberini, Cardinal Barberini, and Cardinal Barberini.

In 1984 the polls had more integrity, plus polling was better, since you could reach the voters. There wasn't caller ID.
The 1984 polls were pretty consistent with Reagan at around 52%.
What wasn't unbiased was the media coverage. This was the era of Ted Kennedy flat out offering the Soviets help if they could find a way to help defeat Reagan. And the media gave him a pass on it.

I remember 84. I also remember 80. In 80 I was in the 7th grade. My homeroom teacher at the beginning of the year said we we going to have a mock election to see if our votes matched the real one. She split us into groups for the 3 different canidates. On corner were the Carter kids. Another corner were Anderson kids. She said all the people for Reagan go to that corner. When I got there I turned around and I was alone. All the kids laughed at me.
We were supposed to elect a campaign leader, create campaign posters, and perform at 3 debates before the vote. I told my Mom about it in the car when she picked me up. She said "Well, we are going to need somme poster boards!"
My favorite line I said at one of the debates was "If Anderson can't take care of his teeth, how can he take care of the country?"
Over the next couple of months other kids started joining my team. When the vote was held in our class, our results matched the actual voter percentage wise.

As hard as it is to believe, I had some political awareness in 1984. Some. I was still in elementary school, and remember perfectly well the other boys and I sitting around perhaps on a day where we were stuck inside for recess because it was a rainy day in our part of Germany and we were going down the list of what we later would learn were "primary" candidates". And we soon figured out some guy named Mondale would run against Reagan.
I already liked Reagan because I knew even then he hated the Commies and for me at that age that was more than enough. I remember Mondale appearing on the Today show talking about the first thing he would do in office, foreign policy wise, would be to schedule a summit with the Soviets. In my young mind I sensed that he wanted to kiss their asses. Not having it. Especially after the road trip to Berlin that I took in the fall that year.
I woke up early on the Wednesday after the election, meaning we in Germany were just seeing election coverage. It was here I found out Reagan won; the magnitude of the ass-kicking only hit me later when I plunged into politics further.
When I turned 18 I almost immediately registered to vote. I tell people that I was registered to vote before I was licensed to drive. Which was true.

If anyone's looking for something new and original to watch, I have a young film-maker friend who wrote and directed this movie, called FORGERY.
https://preview.tinyurl.com/yy9266z6
It's a Breaking-Bad-esque tale of a painfully shy, nerdy university student with a secret talent for forgery, and when his secret gets out to the wrong people, he finds himself caught in a downward spiral of criminality.
Rated R for language and violence. He shot it in 10 days on a budget of zero. Often Ed-Wood-style with no permits. Considering all that, and that the actors are not professionals, it's pretty damn impressive. Most of the music is original to the film. This guy works as a miner by day to finance his dreams of screenwriting and directing. If you like the flick, go ahead and give him a like and a subscribe. I know he'd appreciate it.

The thing about 1984 was Reagan was running on "Morning in America"
Mondale tried to make the play as the fiscal adult and ran on a pledge to raise taxes. That was a terrible mistake, and ran afoul of the optimism that was starting to break out as the long economic decline was finally coming to an end.
There are parallels to today. As much as the SJWs would like to pretend otherwise, most people don't vote as a virtue signal. They vote their pocketbooks.

The 1980 election was called about an hour or so after coverage began. It became apparent that the Reagan wave was rolling across the country. I think they called the 1984 election almost immediately. It was over for Mondull before it started.

#138: I was quite young in 1980. I barely remember it BEING such a thing as 1980. But two things stick out in my mind: my old man watched CBS News at 5:30, and in my earliest memories, they had an image of some guy named Carter on the screen for part of the reporting. Soon thereafter it was replaced by another image, that of some guy named Reagan.
I can remember Reagan campaign commercials from 1980 but not Carter's. I can remember there being quite a bit of talk about Reagan, probably in my family, as you DO NOT EVER MENTION Carter in my parent's house even today.

164 Reagan hated commies and survived two gunshots to the chest at 70 years old. Not at all being facetious in saying that to a young man like myself at the time, that was more than enough for me to love the guy.

Pelosi was using the Air Force as her own private air fleet to taxi her and her family and friends across the country up to 9 years after 9/11 when they first allowed her to use the military plane as speaker of the house. It was supposed to only be temporary until air travel considered safe again.

"He won't tell you. I just did."
Boom. Done. Reagan landslide.

"Almost 1,000 people move to Florida EVERY DAY as families abandon northern cities like New York, New Jersey and Connecticut - with home sales more than doubling in some parts of the Sunshine State"

I posted this in the Grenell thread earlier. Discovered this while researching past election turnout and results.

A key state is again going to be Florida (29 EV). Trump won by 112,000 votes (1.2%) in 2016.
But the amazing thing about Florida is their population and turnout volatility.
Their population increases by an average of 7% every 4 years. Florida's increase in turnout the last 5 elections was:
2000: 5.9mil (+12%)
2004: 7.6mil (+28%)
2008: 8.4mil (+10%)
2012: 8.5mil (+1%)
2016: 9.4mil (+11%)
That is wild, considering most states' turnout does not vary more than 3-5% or so.
Here is Michigan (16 EV):
2000: 4.2mil
2004: 4.8mil (+14%)
2008: 5.0mil (+3%)
2012: 4.7mil (-5%)
2016: 4.8mil (+1.4%)

The 1980 election was called about an hour or so after coverage began. It became apparent that the Reagan wave was rolling across the country. I think they called the 1984 election almost immediately. It was over for Mondull before it started.
Posted by: TheQuietMan at September 07, 2020 04:22 PM (mMGWD)
After the '84 election - I think - the networks said that from then on, they would not announce a POTUS winner before the polls closed on the West Coast. The D's and R's complained that the early announcement by the networks reduced turnout in the West, possibly affecting down-ballot races.

They hadn't yet realized that associating the Dems with "red" was an epic blunder, and that for decades they were unwittingly associating Democratic Party = communism. So right after that election -- I think it was 1996 or 98? -- they switched it, to troll America, and never switched it back.

Which is why they called the election for Bill clinton before the polls closed on the West Coast. it's why Perot got as many votes as he did. There was no reason to vote for Clinton at that point.

After the '84 election - I think - the networks said that from then on,
they would not announce a POTUS winner before the polls closed on the
West Coast. The D's and R's complained that the early announcement by
the networks reduced turnout in the West, possibly affecting down-ballot
races.
Didn't they have the same problem in 2000? Calling Florida for Gore while the polls in the panhandle were still open?

Yep. November is just the start of influenza season. Influenza shares a lot of symptoms with COVID-19. So there are going to be massive amount of influenza cases mistaken for -- or deliberately called -- COVID-19 "cases".
I think mask mandates are here at least until March (end of influenza season) or May/June (end of school year).

But I don't really see Pelosi's or any of the other D+1,000,000,000 CD's flipping this year. Don't you think it curious that Eric Holder Jr. has been so fixated on "redistricting reform" lately?

There is no word in the English language to characterize their familial relationship.
For the record, it is this:
Gavin Newsom's aunt married Nancy Pelosi's brother-in-law.
It's slightly too complicated for our language to have a word for their relationship. The closest we might have is
nephew-in-law.

Carter came off in late 1979 as sullen, beaten down by the Iran Embassy debacle and the energy crisis - and he deserved a lot of the anger at the time - Carter was a feckless hopeless wreck in foreign policy. However, he actually was tackling the disasters wrought by years of wage and price controls in the 70's - policies brought about by Nixon and perpetuated under Ford. His downfall economically was his inability to confront the House over retarded tax rates on capital investments and he was a firm believer in a crippling economic energy policy.

Yes, we should show common courtesy and be good neighbors with each other. Yes, we should be good stewards of what God has given us, to care for our homes and yards. Yes, we should consider the effect on our actions to those around us.
But having some petty tyrant ordering people around based on their vision of a perfect community? No. Hell no.

Scientists are puzzled by how Africa has almost shrugged off the Wuhan Flu without much effect. What is happening?
Um, maybe the fact that craploads of them take HCQ for malaria?
What I want to know is why there's not this huge outbreak among homeless Americans. They are incredibly vulnerable: bad health, bad housing, usually poorly fed, filthy. But there's no huge sweeping epidemic among them. Why is that, do you figure?

Why are HOAs tolerated in this country?
Because a few rotten apples can ruin an entire neighborhood and the only way to stop them is to organize and use the law. It became necessary and then evil. Like most things do.

In Al Stewart's song Joe the Georgian, he sings about Stalin's former allies then his victims who are waiting for him in Hell.
"There's Kamenev, Zinoviev
Bukharin and the rest
We're sharpening our pitchforks
And we're heating up the ends
We've got a few surprises
For the mate when he appears
I hope he likes the next few million years"
Kinda what I hope for for Pelosi.

Carter came off in late 1979 as sullen, beaten down
by the Iran Embassy debacle and the energy crisis - and he deserved a
lot of the anger at the time - Carter was a feckless hopeless wreck in
foreign policy. However, he actually was tackling the disasters wrought
by years of wage and price controls in the 70's - policies brought about
by Nixon and perpetuated under Ford. His downfall economically was his
inability to confront the House over retarded tax rates on capital
investments and he was a firm believer in a crippling economic energy
policy.

Thats about it. I remember his constant "lets joins hands" bullshit to solve the problems that asshat couldn't handle. Letting iran keep our people as long as they did was a travesty. I remember a rumor back then that Reagan basically told them in so many words that if those people weren't back by the time he was sworn in he was going to nuke their fucking shithole off the map, and if he burned the hostages in the process, so be it, but the world would never have to hear iran's bullshit again...like ever.

207 Another thing that killed Carter was the failed rescue attempt of the American hostages in Iran- nearly a dozen men killed, total debacle, and an apt metaphor for Carter's presidency
Posted by: DB- just DB. at September 07, 2020 04:36 PM (iTXRQ)
Again, I was rather young for Carter; my main memory of the hostage crisis was going through the elementary school in Germany passing the occasional locker with a faded sticker with an American flag with the words "FREE THE HOSTAGES" on the bottom, but..looking at it through my historian's eyes, I'd have to say the Carter presidency was doomed starting on November 4, 1979.
Sure, Iran regards the Vienna Convention of 1961 as a good thing to wipe asses with to this day - don't forget they arrested the UK Ambassador to Iran in the beginning of the year for checking out a demonstration - but how in the hell does one of our embassies get stormed and hostages taken from the embassy? That had to be enough for people. I can't imagine Americans back then just saying "oh, well, no biggie." So right then, Carter was in trouble. And he dragged his feet with some decisions that should have been obvious. Operation Eagle Claw came in April and was a bloody mess, and the same month he had the bright idea "Hey! Let's PNG the Iranian embassy staff and order the embassy closed in DC!" (Not, say, around the 5th of November, you dummy?)
And as for Eagle Claw, it was rather obvious from that that he was not looking after the military and its readiness.

I've been puzzling that one, too. I have three theories:
1) It's nonsense. Covid isn't very contagious at all.
2) There has been a huge sweeping epidemic but Covid isn't very dangerous.
3) There has been a huge sweeping epidemic, and many have died, but it has gone unreported.

This was the early 60's-not the era of "free love". She was the daughter of an Italian family and met her husband in college and got married in 1963. If she was the daughter of a man who might have had ties to organized crime I don't think she was sleazing around with the President. If she was having sex it was probably with Mr. Pelosi. I also think Nancy would think too highly of herself to have a quickie in a cloak room.

The inventor of the gender reveal party regrets her invention because it's 2019
Gender reveal parties have been all the rage among millennial parents. Since they began trending in 2008, they have spread like wildfire. Literally. The fad was started by Jenna Karvunidis, a blogger and self-described "DIY'er and feminist mom of all lady babies." She concocted the party as a way to celebrate the conception of her first child, which was a hard journey for her and her husband, as she'd suffered several miscarriages along the way. Now that her firstborn is presenting along the gender spectrum, Karvunidis has regrets about creating a cultural trend that focuses so much on the sex of a child in utero.

This is why living with mayors and town councils and their zoning rules are infinitely better than living under the tyranny of a HOA or Co-op. Your mayor or town councilmen get shit canned every two years when neighbors can't get along or are feuding about property issues. So, they promote getting along to go along, that is, if they want a long political career.
Your HOA Karen Vice-Furher has no such concerns. She/him/zir are true believers - believers that violators are destroying their way of life. Good luck with that.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at September 07, 2020 04:52 PM (KZzsI)
There are weird things I don't get in modern times.
My gender reveal party was around the time the doc said "Congratulations, Catch Thirty-Thr33's Mom, it's a boy!" In a time where my parents had to have two sets of names ready to go, one a boy's first and middle names, and a girl's first and middle names. Just in case.
Or, for that matter, the way people announce "We are expecting!" these days. (By the way, as I love and respect the ladies - who exactly is this "we"?)
I hated my HS graduation and wish I was nowhere near it but I fully and completely understand why they happen: what follows 12th grade? That at least makes sense to me. But...middle school graduations? Elememtary school graduations? KINDERGARTEN??? Oy. (In middle school in eighth grade our principal got on the intercom and announced we had ten minutes to leave campus. More or less, "don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.")
I'm sure there is other weirdness but those are the ones I think are silly off the top of my head.

My gender reveal party was around the time the doc said "Congratulations, Catch Thirty-Thr33's Mom, it's a boy!" In a time where my parents had to have two sets of names ready to go, one a boy's first and middle names, and a girl's first and middle names. Just in case.
Or, for that matter, the way people announce "We are expecting!" these days. (By the way, as I love and respect the ladies - who exactly is this "we"?)
I hated my HS graduation and wish I was nowhere near it but I fully and completely understand why they happen: what follows 12th grade? That at least makes sense to me. But...middle school graduations? Elememtary school graduations? KINDERGARTEN??? Oy. (In middle school in eighth grade our principal got on the intercom and announced we had ten minutes to leave campus. More or less, "don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.")
I'm sure there is other weirdness but those are the ones I think are silly off the top of my head.

> We're having a new special party for the baby, bring gifts!
Things for which I will buy your child a gift, IF we are CLOSE friends or business associates:
1) birth/baptism (only one, not both)
2) confirmation, Bar Mitzvah, or similar
3) High school graduation (MAYBE)
4) college graduation
5) wedding
That's it. No kindergarten graduations, no "gender reveals", no Little Knothead got a good citizenship trophy for not setting the school on fire this week.
5) wedding

265 Why are HOAs tolerated in this country?
Because a few rotten apples can ruin an entire neighborhood and the only way to stop them is to organize and use the law. It became necessary and then evil. Like most things do.

That was hilarious. Not sure what was funnier. Hearing the story, or watching the band laughing their a$$es off.

Because there is no law in this country requiring someone to buy a home in a community with an HOA.
Don't want an HOA?
Don't buy a home in a community with an HOA.
Pretty simple, actually.

"But there's no huge sweeping epidemic among them. Why is that, do you figure?"
I've been puzzling that one, too. I have three theories:
1) It's nonsense. Covid isn't very contagious at all.
2) There has been a huge sweeping epidemic but Covid isn't very dangerous.
3) There has been a huge sweeping epidemic, and many have died, but it has gone unreported.

4) Secret mass graves.

After the state and federal government take their cut.
The leaser will be lucky to about keep half.

On top of Speaker Pelosi's faux pau the Congressional gym is open and has always been open. Gym's all over America have suffered financial loss by forced closure.
Time to stop all this nonsense and show these creatures the door.

Hey there! Quick question that's totally off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when viewing from my
iphone4. I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might
be able to fix this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share.
Thanks!
