The reasons Hillary Clinton has not been held accountable for her crimes (yet) are very complicated. This book, after exhaustive research, provides the answer to the question which goes in answered, Why Hillary Isn't Locked Up.

If you totally loved the 80's you will totally love this book. Nostalgia packed content will bring you back to the best decade ever.

NOTE: This is NOT the book: "What Happened" by: Hillary Rodham Clinton. Trolls HATE this book, but actual readers LOVE it. The truth is hard for some people. Hillary's book is protected from trolls but this one is not.The 2016 election was certainly filled with its daily share of surprises. Hillary Clinton ran the most expensive campaign in history and despite the cards being stacked in her favor, the polls showing her winning by a landslide and a strong assumption amongst many that her election was already a given, she lost and lost big. The shockwaves amongst her followers are still in full motion. How could she have failed so massively. Her new book "What Happened" reflects the shock. However, unless you were living in a bubble, a coma or just not paying attention you should know what happened. Everybody Knows What Happened Except Hillary Rodham Clinton.Clinton was living in a liberal, elitist, bubble of self-entitlement. Her arrogance and smugness were apparent to everyone outside of her bubble. She could not connect with the common people including her core base which were flocking to Bernie Sanders; an obscure 75-year-old Senator and self-proclaimed socialist. Despite the dirty tricks of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Clinton herself, she never regained the allegiance of her core base.She entered the race with much baggage. Scandals follow the Clinton's and while none have stuck to them, yet, the sheer volume of scandals and mysterious deaths associated with those scandals is enough to raise eyebrows of anyone but her diehard supporters.She surrounded herself with people who told her only what they thought she wanted to hear. Either they were inside her bubble or simply did not want to upset her and face her oft reported temper. Many of the people in her inner circle also became subjects of various scandals during the campaign as well. The media fed her delusion as well. Their hatred for the Republican candidate skewed their reporting in her favor through both stories and polls. In doing so the media seriously damaged their credibility for many years yet to come. They also prevented Clinton from glimpsing outside her bubble.This book will help you make sense of the 2016 election and all the factors that contributed to Clinton's epic loss. Some things you may already know but others are sure to come to you as a shock. The book is compiled from public sources on both sides of the political spectrum. The book is factual but will certainly allow you plenty of room for your own speculation and guidance in finding additional resources.I appreciate your interest in this book. Please note that a portion of all profits will be donated to programs that help the homeless and homeless veterans.

How to Be a Gentleman: A Timely Guide to Timeless Manners is the revised and updated edition of the smash-hit How to Be a Gentleman and offers practical advice on being a gentleman in the twenty-first century. Should you take your BlackBerry on vacation? What is the best way to accept a compliment? Is an e-mail an acceptable means of writing a Thank-You note? While the tenets of gracious behavior never change, the situations a gentleman faces do and have changed significantly in the last ten years. In this revised, updated, and expanded version of the bestselling How to Be a Gentleman, Bridges addresses new issues such as airport security, Bluetooth and BlackBerry usage, and appropriate internet and instant message communication. Still featured are topics ranging from how to receive a compliment to how to act at funerals. Certain to be the must-have guide for the modern gentleman, this revised edition will echo the success of its predecessor.

Being a gentleman isn’t just being a nice guy, or a considerate guy, or the type of guy someone might take home to meet their mother. A gentleman realizes that he has the unique opportunity to distinguish himself from the rest of the crowd. He knows when an email is appropriate, and when nothing less than a handwritten note will do. He knows how to dress on the golf course, in church, and at a party. He knows how to breeze through an airport without the slightest fumble of his carry-on or boarding pass. And those conversational icebreakers—“Where do I know you from?” A gentleman knows better. Gentlemanliness is all in the details, and John Bridges is reclaiming the idea that men—gentlemen—can be extraordinary in every facet of their lives.

A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up is not a book about style—it is a book about the rules—rules that will allow any man to feel more comfortable in the choices he makes about what he wears. Let’s get one thing straight. Clothes do not make the man . . . but they do make a difference. And regardless of whether we like the idea of appearances driving impressions, a man’s exterior often is perceived as an indicator of what’s happening on the interior. Fortunately, tasteful and appropriate dressing doesn’t require inordinate amounts of time or money. Any man can hit the door in fine shape with only a little forethought and a bit of attention to a few guidelines. Never mind the heady cologne and designer labels. With a navy blazer, a good bar of soap, and a regular haircut regimen, he’ll be well on his way to becoming the guy who knows exactly how to suit up, regardless of the occasion. Most important, A Gentleman Gets Dressed Up illustrates how a man’s natural confidence and personality are the best foundation for any wardrobe.

50 Things Every Young Gentleman Should Know is a young man’s guide to becoming the type of guy that people respect and enjoy. He knows how to shake hands. He knows how to be a good sport. He knows how to give a genuine compliment and how to speak his mind without being offensive. His friends listen to what he has to say, and he returns the favor. He knows how to achieve the perfect knot in a necktie, and more important, he knows when he should be wearing a tie in the first place. Oh, and his favorite ball cap? He knows when to wear it and when to leave it at home on his dresser. Becoming a gentleman doesn’t happen in an instant; it’s a lifelong exercise in refining etiquette, social interaction, and personal discipline. It all begins here.
