Former Chicago Congressman Arrested on Porn Charges

Mel Reynolds arrested in Zimbabwe

HARARE, Zimbabwe — Former U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds — an ex-con from Chicago convicted of bank fraud and having sex with a 16-year-old girl when he was in his 40s — has been arrested in Zimbabwe, said a Zimbabwean immigration official.

Reynolds, 62, is being held in custody and is expected to appear in court soon, immigration official Ario Mabika told The Associated Press. The state-controlled newspaper, The Herald, reported that Reynolds was arrested Monday for allegedly possessing pornographic material and violating immigration laws.

In 1993 Mel Reynolds replaced Gus Savage, a racist anti-Semite who tried to rape a Peace Corps volunteer during a congressional trip to Zaire and was accused of a drive-by shooting that injured Reynolds during the election campaign. Reynolds only lasted two years before statutory rape and child pornography charges forced him to resign… then he was convicted of a bunch of financial crimes while he was in prison.

Bill Clinton commuted his sentence as he left office. 

Regarding Reynolds’ new arrest in Zimbabwe, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Embassy said the embassy could not comment as it was a private matter and the embassy did not did not have a privacy waiver. Reynolds also has accumulated hotel bills worth $24,500 which he has not yet paid. 

Reynolds complained that he was not expecting such treatment when he had brought investors to the country, according to the newspaper.

Dems are Scraping the Bottom

Democrat campaigning for the nomination to unseat Eric Cantor in the 7th Congressional District of Virginia. He's on the issues like a pit bull on a bone.

"Mike believes Congress needs to get back to finding solutions to our nation’s problems rather than being stuck in a loop of partisan bickering"

OH Well......

Talkstraight

Nothing says “open minded and tolerant’ like calling for the government to ‘monitor and regulate’ free speech and ignore protection of the press.

But then, he is a Democrat, and we all know how much they love that sort of thing.

Boogeyman Fever

The Democratic playbook for the mid-term election is simple. To hold onto the U.S. Senate, Democrats will attempt to portray Republicans as utterly beholden to special interests out to destroy America’s middle class. They’ll do this while accepting money from environmental organizations while pretending to be friends of the private sector unions who want to build the Keystone XL Pipeline.

Their message will essentially be ‘Don’t vote for Republicans because they’re scary.’ Meanwhile, they didn’t notice that they’re the ‘Scary Characters Party’.

We are well over eight months away fron Election Day 2014, yet the Florida Caveman, Alan Grayson is already invoking each and every one of the Left’s boogeymen in his election fundraising appeals. Grayson has already issued pro-forma denunciations of Fox News, Sean Hannity, the energy sector, has compared the Tea Party to the Ku Klux Klan, and most recently, has smeared our veterans while attacking the eeeeeeevil Koch Brothers.

Of course, such attacks are pure hypocrisy coming from Alan Grayson. The non-partisan and independent Center for Responsive Politics is dedicated to tracking the influence of money in our election process, and they have compiled a list of the largest political donors over the last 25 years.

The scary “Kochtopus” is all the way down at #59. But who occupies most of the top spots? You guessed it.......Grayson’s Big Labor buddies. A quick crosscheck with Grayson’s top donor list confirms this inconvenient fact. Apparently, the Congressman Without Guts feels compelled to insult our intelligence (as well as that of his own individual donor base) by performing this “outrageously tough progressive” shtick, which now includes this Koch theater.

While it’s too early to predict races like Al Franken and Grayson with anything approaching sanity, it isn’t too early to predict that this won’t be a good year for Democrats.

The only thing left to determine is how bad it’ll be.

Behind The Scenes, Democrats Dropping Obama Like An Empty Chair…

They're running for the hills, and rightly so.....

Ulsterman

"Some in the Mainstream Media are well aware of the behind the scenes infighting that is reaching boiling point proportions among leading Democrats, but have chosen not to report on it. This is exactly the scenario R.I. indicated was happening during a number of Capitol Update reports on this blog. While Barack Obama remains aloof, and unwilling to engage in the actual work of governing, party leaders are scrambling to keep unity among their rank and file, with decreasing success. The anger among DEMOCRATS toward Barack Obama is both very real, and in some cases, bordering on outright rage as their political careers are now evaporating before their own eyes due in no small measure to the Obama White House and its parade of incompetent indifference."

Washington Examiner

"The divisions surfaced behind closed doors Friday when Mr. Obama visited House Democrats at their annual retreat in Cambridge, Md., for a party pep talk. What Mr. Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden encountered instead was entrenched opposition to the administration’s pursuit of a huge free-trade agreement with 12 Pacific Rim nations.

Mr. Biden was talking privately to lawmakers about the importance of Mr. Obama’s “pivot” to Asia when he addressed the subject of giving the president fast-track authority to negotiate a pending deal on the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Democratic lawmakers are adamantly opposed to trade promotion authority after taking a cue from labor allies who fear a loss of union jobs....."
