My Thoughts on DNC Rigging Election for Clinton

/31 Comments/in /by

When I watched the election process happening, I saw many things that I didn’t want to publicly write because I knew people wouldn’t be able to see what I was seeing  at the time, and it would have caused a huge out lash and uproar. But if you watched the election process closely, and listened to what people were saying and watched the behavior of crowds as they responded to Hilary Clinton, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, it was clear things were not as they were being represented to us.

All you had to do was watch the way the crowds responded to each candidate. It was notably different.  Their excitement, fervor, and roars were clearly louder with one candidate than all the others. The way crowds reacted to Bernie surpassed by a great distance the way crowds reacted to Clinton or to Trump by a long shot, and it was clear Trump had the smallest crowds every time.

I wasn’t invested in any of the candidates and it stood out like a sore thumb to me. And then to hear all the people predict the election and get it wrong, and for Trump to win–none of it made sense. It smelled rotten to me for a long, long time, but I never expected it to be this bad.

Do I think it was rigged?  Did I think it was rigged before the election? Absolutely. I didn’t believe Hilary was the DNC choice and I didn’t believe Trump was truly elected. Not for a day.

I’m glad Elizabeth Warren is speaking out and standing on what she believes! Bless her–she is supporting the truth!

So not only did we get screwed with Trump in the election and Russia, we all got screwed by Hilary Clinton and the DNC as well.

Our country is in serious trouble and until we can get back to some honesty and fairness, we are risking our democracy as we know it.

Who is truthful: Gold Star widow Myeshia Johnson or Trump?

/24 Comments/in /by

I was flabbergasted when I saw a poll on MSNBC today that asked readers to share who they believed: Donald Trump or Gold Star widow Myeshia Johnson?

When I saw 36% of people in a poll response of over 248,770 votes believe Donald Trump, I had to take a minute and post.

I have watched Trump talk and I have watched Johnson talk, and there is no doubt who is being honest in my mind.

I do not believe Donald Trump at all and I absolutely believe Johnson without question.

 

Las Vegas Shooting: Perpetrator’s Brother

/18 Comments/in /by

We are going through some very tough days in the U.S. with this deadly mass shooting. It’s hard to wrap your brain around. I think Jimmy Kimmel gave an excellent speech on Monday night. If you didn’t see it, you can see it here.

Being emotional and dealing with this, people will read people differently. Emotions will skew our ability to see things clearly. We may see something when something isn’t there, or we may miss it when it is there. Be careful you don’t fall victim to your own emotional influence. Take notice.

I am sure when people watch the brother of shooter speak out, people will see it very different.

When you watch Eric Paddock, the brother of Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock, speak the day after his brother went on that rampage, what do you see? I suspect we will have a broad array of responses.

What are your cognitive biases? Do you know?

If you’ve followed me for a while, or attended one of my classes, one of the concepts I talk about that affects your ability to spot deception and even understand other people is your emotional biases.

Essentially, what you like or dislike can affect your ability to clearly see the truth.   Scientists have studied emotional “bias” and know these biases have powerful effects on us.

As an example, if you dislike people who you think are politically opposite then you, then you may incorrectly judge a person, because you are biased before you even consider what they have to say.  You may take something they do as a kind gesture and think they were being underhanded.  In the same way you may not trust them when they are completely honest.  This is what biases can do to us.

As humans, we have many biases that can affect our lives.  I ran into an article that mapped them all out in a graphic, and it was quite stunning to see.

Are you familiar with the:

  • Fading-effect bias
  • Less-is-better effect
  • Ambiguity bias
  • Decoy effect
  • Suffix effect

Me, neither!  It appears there are dozens and dozens and dozens of cognitive biases that affect us as humans.  Who knew there were so many?

Here is a real cool info-graphic that has mapped them all out for you: Check it out.

What are your biases? Do you know?

The more you know and understand, the better you will be at making good solid decisions!

Jimmy Kimmel: Must Watch

/2 Comments/in /by

This is a must watch clip of the Jimmy Kimmel show.

Jimmy Kimmel calls Bill Cassidy a liar, and rightfully so.  Do watch until the end — his last skit sums it up perfectly.

It’s ridiculous our elected officials think the public is this stupid.

I’m glad people with influence are standing up and calling a spade a spade, and a liar a liar!  It’s about time.  It’s the only way to get away from a politically correct “sick” society which has rejected the truth and reality for way to long!

We need to speak the truth.

Thank you, Jimmy!  Thank you!!
