Mann to Man

Hillary Clinton has proven to be a consummate liar, even pathological. Her shills and pundits are trying hard now to brand Trump a similar liar to take focus off of Hillary. It's blatantly obvious, terribly wrong and dishonest -- Clinton-like. I believe that most intellectually honest people know that Hillary Clinton is a prevaricator, extraordinaire, pathologically it would seem. Trump may have stretched some truth, but I don't think he can, in any way, be declared a pathological liar in the image of Clinton. It would be absolutely wrong. YET, THE THRUST OF EVERY APPEARANCE OF DEMOCRAT SHILLS AND MOST PUNDITS THE LAST FEW DAYS HAS BEEN TO DO ALL POSSIBLE TO BRAND TRUMP A LIAR. While this is wrong, disgustingly so, it is sad to realize that this kind of dishonesty is now an American Condition, one more example of the nation being "broken," a result of the sub-cultural revolution of 7 decades. The only way that I can see to try to correct the condition is to rid our...

Thought for August 23, 2016  -- Come clean on the Clinton Foundation. NOW!   It is high time the American people are given the complete unvarnished, un-redacted, un-scrubbed truth about the Clinton Foundation. It is only appropriate, and necessary, to give a complete accounting of contributions, who and from where, an accounting of expenses, percentage of funds to administration, salaries, to charitable endeavors, to Clintons and friends and operatives. Total fund distributions!!! If the Foundation is legitimate and Clintons have not committed illegal acts, then what do they have to lose. It is absolutely fair and appropriate to assume the worst until they give the full accounting. A Google search reveals attempts to minimize criticism, even scrub them, and avoid complete accounting. How did the Clintons become so powerful and what do the get and give for their influence? They have virtual control of the media. They are never held accountable for imprope...

Thought for August 16, 2016 America is in critical condition from decades of cultural revolution and mismanagement of foreign affairs. A major change in direction is absolutely necessary, making the 2016 election an  Epoch one. The upcoming presidential election is being treated by media and the electorate as just another election, as in the past, albeit distant past, pitting people of different philosophies, liberal vs. conservative, as to how best to solve problems of society. It is not typical! While elections were once just that, it has been a long time, several decades, since that's been true. Since the 1960s, even 1950s, America has been experiencing a cultural revolution. In fact, it is legitimate to say that the sub - culture has, for a long time, led the revolution . The result is societal decadence with measurable declines in many, if not most, of American institutions. In fact, traditional America, that those of my generation learned to love and resp...

August 15, 2016 -- Thought for the day Four words used so often to defend Hillary Clinton against the many charges of malfeasance and what is obviously corruption - flagrant violations of government policy as Sec. Of State, cronyism, use of The Clinton Foundation for personal funding with minimal contributions to charity. Then there is the money laundering, as well as the use of the Clinton Foundation for tax avoidance by contributing income to the foundation, which is reported to fund them personally as well. Selling of access to many in business, politics and governments, especially in the Mid-East Islamic countries. Of course, Bill Clinton is complicit, as well, in most of these acts of corruption. She has received tens of millions of dollars from businesses, largely Wall Street ones and Mid-East governments for access to our government. Of course, there are others such as the Russian uranium deal and more. "There is no evidence" is so descriptive of the Cultura...

AUGUST 10, 2016 America shows more 3 rd world characteristics day-by-day. On July 15, 2016, I posted comments suggesting that America could lose 1 st world status with certain activities that now have become “normal.” Abrogation of The Rule Of Law, the foundation of 1 st world nations, is one indicator that 1 st world status is being violated. The exoneration of Clinton in her e-mail scandal is a prime example of abrogation of law. The once vaunted FBI have now been “shamed and tarnished” by Clinton scandals. Another characteristic of many, if not most, 3 rd world nations is profound corruption with huge wealth accumulation by those at top government levels. Another is absolute corruption in control of election processes and of governance by one faction, one “party,” one dictator. Hillary Clinton epitomizes the wealth accumulation factor and the Democrat National Committee is clearly guilty of election process control, undoubtedly with Clinton the benefic...

THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY 9 AUGUST 2016 "The best among us no longer present themselves for elective office and American voters willfully elect the worst who do."(jam 2011) Oh how far we have strayed from our founders' vision that people of high achievement, the most accomplished among us, would be elected to lead the nation. They would lend themselves to the people, give all the benefit of their knowledge, their skills and talents, how they achieved success and more, then pass the job on to another one of like attributes. The best among us. Sadly, no longer is this true. The 2016 presidential election is proving that the worst among us can be elected.

If Hillary Clinton is elected president and combines her machine with Obama's, along with a compliant DOJ, we can expect The Rule of Law, the primary requirement for 1st World status, to be abrogated as it was in the exoneration of Hillary Clinton. 3rd World is in sight! It is legitimate to think of the combinations of Obama and Clinton machines, with the DOJ now a compliant servant, abrogating the Rule of Law, the prime requirement for a 1st world nation. The decline has already started with the Clinton exoneration a prime example, yet not the only one. Anyone who contends that the exoneration of Clinton was just an honest assessment of the FBI and the whole DOJ, should give up any claim to an IQ over 80. While there is "no equation of intellect with wisdom and judgement"(JAM), that person can lay no claim to either wisdom or judgement as well. The November election is not, in any meaningful way, a matter of differing philosophies. It is a matter of survival of t...

Election of Donald Trump as president is vitally necessary to stop the decline into societal decadence brought on us by the counter-cultural revolutionaries over the last 6+ decades. Clinton personifies the revolution. She must be stopped. T oday our beloved America can be compared metaphorically to a bleeding artery that, if allowed to continue bleeding, will bleed out with resultant death. In fact, “traditional America” has already met her death under the pressure of the counter-cultural  (sub-cultural) revolution of the past 6+ decades. Hillary Clinton has been a part of that revolution her entire life. In fact she personifies the sub-cultural revolution, surrounded by fogs of corruption and scandals her entire public life.  Stopping Clinton must be viewed as putting a tourniquet on a bleeding artery until full repair can be effected.  Traditional America was defined by sense of family, sense of community, honor, faith in God, personal responsibilit...

That Hillary Clinton can be, and likely will be, elected president of the United States is testimony to the state of decadence we have arrived to after decades of the sub-cultural revolution. Americans vote out of ignorance, reflexively for the "D" and more unjustifiable reasons.  At times I try to think that I am too pessimistic about the condition to which the great America that I've known and loved for a full lifetime, with an abundance of blessings, has come. But, when I see and hear Hillary Clinton, and Bill as well, and realize that more than half of Americans support her and many still lionize him. Both have fed unscrupulously at the federal trough and have used their offices to enrich themselves beyond any reasonable expectation. Both have been shrouded dense fogs of scandals, some undoubtedly illegal pursuits, yet they are never held accountable. Now she purports to be the best to lead our nation and the free world. She has no achievements to qualify here, cla...

The Democrat/Progressive machine is now in control of the country. If not stopped in the 2016 election, they will control the nation for generations. We march onward to perdition. I submit to you, what I'm quite sure is now reality, that the Democrat/Progressive machine which controls national Democrats, hence the country now, is as powerful, or more so, than Tammany Hall ever was. Yet, Tammany had complete control of New Your City and NY state for decades. The Democrat machine now dominates the internet, of which the top management of all are Democrats. The financial industry, that now controls our economy, with aid of the IT guys, and has enormous political clout, is run largely by Democrat CEOS and other top managers. They fund Democrats overwhelmingly.  When Hillary Clinton occasionally mentions "reigning in Wall Street," she is only posturing for voters and her WS people know it. Those who will reflexively disbelieve this and yell "foul" should do some...

HILLARY CLINTON HAS NOT PERFORMED IN POSITIONS, HENCE NO QUALIFIERS BY JOBS When I think of Hillary Clinton, I'm reminded of my own tenet in managing people and operations: "Being in a job/position is not qualifying, doing the job correctly and commendably is the only qualifier."  When I think of Obama and Congress, I'm reminded: "No organization or group can be effective without strong effective leadership. Clinton epitomizes being in-the-job but not doing the job. She is not a leader. The United States of America is the largest "organization" in the world today with NO strong effective leadership." I just analyze people and their results, folks. It's maddening but true.

BREEDING MEDIOCRITY IN AMERICA North Carolina High Schools Will Stop Naming a Valedictorian ... https://www.ijreview.com/.../609472- north - carolina -high- schools -will-stop-naming-a-... Wake County   Schools   ( North Carolina ) doing away with   Valedictorian   and In the past I have written and spoken of “Breeding Mediocrity in America" with focus on declining education standards, primarily at the college level, and also our political system. Given the less-than-top people we've been electing for decades now, politicians at large long ago met  the low“standards” for mediocrity. Many, if not most, have exceeded mediocrity and now deserve the recognition of inferiority and ineptitude. Leaders and statesmen/women are all but absent from elective offices. “ Colleges and universities are no longer sanctuaries for learning and research rather are now havens for political activism – left-wing.” Students are indoctrinated in ...

HILLARY CLINTON KNOWS NO INDICTMENT COMING Hillary Clinton's actions and her commentary regarding the FBI investigations suggest she is complacent with little concern for the outcome. It's not only her deflecting characterization of the investigation as a security review, which FBI Director James Comey has countered that it is a criminal investigation, it's her visible lack of concern and her matter-of-fact attitude when questioned by reporters and others. So, why is she so calm and complacent with no sign of worry or anxiety? Could she already be assured by the Obama administration, the DOJ specifically, that there will be no indictment irrespective of FBI's findings and recommendations? I believe it is the likely scenario. Alternatively as reported here earlier, it is highly likely that the administration's and the media's praise for Director Comey's “straight-up” honorable character is setting the public up for a finding of “nothing actionable...

The best among us no longer present themselves for elective office and American voters willfully vote for the worst who do." (JAM) HILLARY CLINTON IS UNQUALIFIED BY CORRUPTION AS WELL AS POOR PERFORMANCE OH HOW FAR WE HAVE STRAYED FROM THE FOUNDERS' VISION THAT THE BEST, MOST ACCOMPLISHED PEOPLE WOULD BE ELECTED TO LEAD OUR AMERICA! AND, HOW WE HAVE STRAYED SO FAR FROM HONOR AS DISPLAYED BY PRESIDENT HARRY TRUMAN. HE DECLARED THAT HE'D NEVER USE HIS OFFICE FOR PERSONAL MONETARY GAIN. AND, HE LIVED BY THAT DECLARATION. A CEO once told me, "we don't bribe government officials, we buy access." No kidding!. Next we will focus here on what the Clinton's have used their offices for and for whom. Singularly they set a new standard for corruption, together they represent heretofore unforeseen dishonor. They have, indisputably, led the abrogation of morals and ethics that have created societal decadence that could not have been anticipated a few ...

HOW BAD DOES IT GET? HILLARY CLINTON WILL PUT BILL CLINTON IN CHARGE OF REVIVING THE ECONOMY “BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW TO DO IT." Bill Clinton is arguably as overrated in terms of accomplishments for Americans as is Hillary Clinton. However, both have done well for themselves amassing millions of dollars of wealth. The economy of the 90s, for which he takes credit, and is given credit by many, had little to do with his policies. The best that can be said about his contributions is that he didn't interfere as did Jimmy Carter. He was kept in line largely by Republicans in Congress, led by Newt Gingrich. When Clinton did interfere by “bastardizing the CRA in 1994 to push sub-prime mortgages for “a house for everyone” and then signed into law repeal of Glass-Stegall in 1999, he set up the 2008 financial meltdown for which few, if any, credit to him. He was aided by banker, Robert Rubin then Treasury Secretary. Please read two blog posts at http://mann2man.blo...

MEDIA BIAS AT IT'S WORST – Washington Post Investigates Trump But Ignores Obvious Malpractice By Hillary Clinton (past and present) So, The Washington Post assigns 20 reporters to dig up information (dirt) about Donald Trump. I anxiously await reports on Trump's negatives but I won't expect to see anything positive, although considerable information is available on Trump's philanthropic activities and other positive attributes. One must compare WAPO's efforts to define Trump for what they think he might be with their efforts to avoid defining Hillary Clinton for what she clearly is and what she represents. Controversy, evidence of corruption, dishonesty, obfuscation and more have shrouded Clinton like a dense fog for her entire presence in both public and private life. It is entirely legitimate to declare that Hillary Clinton epitomizes the cultural revolution's (sub-cultural in fact) abrogation of absolutes of morals and ethics with reliance on wha...

Two Mann tenets, the essence of which hurt Senator Cruz: 1. "If a person, a candidate cannot present himself or herself correctly and believably I believe he or she cannot represent me and others correctly.  Words and their usage, as well as the way they are presented, are extremely important to a presenter."(Mann) 2. " There is no equation of intellect with wisdom and judgement. Without the latter two, intellect may be of limited value" (Mann). Senator Cruz arguably epitomizes each of these and often displayed them in his presentations. His philosophy was/is acceptable but his presentations were grating to viewers and listeners, too strident and abrasive. It cost him, in large part, the nomination.

Hillary Clinton and the cultural revolution now 6 decades old Every time I hear a report regarding Hillary Clinton's personal e-mail server I am compelled to think that Clinton exemplifies one of the major negative societal effects that the cultural revolution, now six decades old, wrought upon the The American Condition. Absolutes of ethics and morals and what is right and what is wrong have been abrogated in favor of what is legal, or worse, what can be deemed legal with no consequences. Repeatedly, we hear that “there is no evidence of malpractice” when all indications are that Clinton committed malpractices in having her own private server. Who can doubt that it was used for government business. But, some hard evidence of what was surely improper, perhaps even illegal, is necessary to label her actions as malpractice. Criminality requires evidence, malpractice requires honest judgment. But, that was true in traditional America and must not be so in the “new America” of t...

Hillary Clinton for president?? The best among us no longer present for elective office and American voters willfully vote for the worst who do.” Hillary Clinton is, frankly, a disgusting person. Bill Clinton is little better, if any. Neither fundamental honesty, nor good character nor intellectual integrity define them. And, Hillary Clinton is the odds-on favorite to be elected president. I am totally saturated with their dishonesty, corruption, their feeding at the troughs of government, businesses and academic institutions. The effect of their presence in the American political arena is not positive. Oh how far they have strayed from the personal doctrine of Harry Truman who declared he would not use his fame and his office for personal monetary gain. And, he lived by that declaration. Both Clintons are the antithesis of Truman. They use their government positions, past and present, to siphon 100's of millions of dollars from businesses, academic institutions and from w...
