Trump Knows What He Is Doing
Use marketing ingenuity to target the right audience at the right time
Use the imagery as a nod to white supremacists in targeted campaigning
Pardon thug criminals for crimes with deserved imprisonment as target campaigning
Divide market segments purposefully and target the focus on each

Post Election Healing
Now we have a 46th United States president after a very divisive election, I have been thinking a lot about what healing means. In my constant pursuit of wisdom, here’s what I would like to see from fellow Americans:
Unity: Our symbolic bald eagle flies only when its left and right wings work in harmony. If you are an American, be it African, Jewish, Hispanic, conservative, or liberal, emphasize the noun more than any adjective you put in front of it. Be proud loud, but use your adjectives only to unite.
Perspective: The stars on our flag symbolize knowledge with many facets that can deepen, broaden and challenge our perspective. Nearly half of U.S. voters cast their ballot differently than you. Since they voted their truth just as you did, we should practice empathy and understand why. Most people are good people and they are inclined to listen to you when you first listen openly to them.
Reasoning: Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are our fundamental rights. So is thinking. While sharing opinions is part of human nature, the number of views or likes they receive does not make them fact. Since opinions absent of facts are only beliefs and perception is reality, many beliefs have created misperceptions and false realities.
Accountability: The 5 freedoms that our 1st Amendment provides - speech, press, religion, assembly, and the petition of government - make the United States among the freest nations in the world. Those freedoms without positive intent can also destroy a nation. There must be salience in honoring our freedoms while exposing entities that choose to undermine them.

What's the Deal with Donald Trump?
Why Trump is Winning: Media & Marketing
When you have the media. You have the world.
Bad publicity is good publicity
When the news is really bad, diffuse with something shocking
Take all the worst things about yourself and point the finger at someone else.
Crooked Hillary - Trump is actually the crooked one
Fake News - Trump is the one spewing fake news
Is he a walking example of a Self Help guide?
There is nobody better at [fill in the blank]
I am the greatest [insert a positive acclamation]
I am the most [insert a positive acclamation]
There is no better [insert a noun with positive connotations] than I am
How Is Your Driving?
Did you know that over 1 million deaths occur annually because of traffic accidents? That's an average of over 3,000 deaths a day. An additional 20-50 million are injured or disabled. These deaths and injuries are also costly. As an example, in the USA, the motor vehicle accident average costs are:
$1,130,000 per death
$61,600 per nonfatal disabling injury
$7,500 per property damage crash with injury
You can help to save lives and money while on the road by following the these 5 tips:
1. Use your turning signal. That lever on the side of your steering wheel is not for decoration. Use it, and use it often! Failure to use a turning signal is the leading cause road accidents with nearly 2 million occurrences annually. You can avoid contributing to this number by using your turning signal. It does not matter if you are turning onto a new street or changing lanes, it is the best way to let other drivers know what your intentions are.
2. Beware of Blindspots. Every car has an area where you cannot see others in your immediate field of vision or by using mirrors. Over 800,000 road accidents result from drivers forgetting about these blind spots. You can avoid such accidents by following two basic rules:
Look over your shoulder before changing lanes.
Be aware when you are in another driver's blind spot. Generally, a car length between you & the person in the next lane is the safest bet.
3. Do not follow too closely. This practice is not only illegal in most jurisdictions, it is one of the leading causes of accidents. A general rule of thumb is one full car length for every 10 mph (15 kph) driving speed - double for wet conditions.
4. Use mostly the middle lanes when driving on highways. This is the safest place to be for the following reasons:
The passing lane is for passing. This is the left lane in most countries (right lane in the UK & former British colonies). If you are getting passed in the passing lane, MOVE OVER! You are probably upsetting every driver behind you and encouraging drivers not to follow point #3.
Entry & exit lanes are for entering & exiting the highway. Do not be that person who gets into that awkward "speed up or brake" dance with other drivers as they attempt to leave or exit the highway.
5. Slow down! How often have rushing drivers sped passed you only for you to catch up with them at the next traffic light? Even on highways, driving 75 mph versus (55 mph) saves fewer than 3 minutes on a 10-mile trip. As a general rule of thumb if your average trip is 5 miles, every 12 miles over the speed limit you save only 30 seconds. With such high risk and low result, speeding is a waste of time and a burn on the wallet if you get caught.

4. The Bangles - "Manic Monday"

Dude, Get Some Style!
Five Staples Every Man Should Have in His
Closet
1 Black Pants-
Black pants can be worn with everything and for most occasions. From the office to a dinner party, this staple is a must have.
2 Dark Blue Jeans -
A single pair of dark blue jeans (regular fit) can never go wrong. They can be worn to any event where a suit is not required. The best part is that you can wear the same pair all the time and no one will ever know. . .SHHH!
3 Dark Blazer -
A black or navy blazer (or sports coat) is the easiest way to dress up the most casual looks. While You will need to work with a tailor to get the right style and fit, the blazer should last you 10 years or longer.
Nifty Tips:
Not sure what size to get? Start with your waist size and add 10. For example, if you have a 34 inch waist, you should get a 44 blazer as your base size.
Sometimes the blazer size ends with the letter R -regular or L -long (e.g. 44R). This measures the length of the blazer. Typically, L is for guys around 6'1" or taller. Just make sure the back of the blazer covers your butt and you'll be fine.
Shop for Sportshirts
4 Sportshirts -
No, not the jerseys that advertise your favorite sports team. These are long sleeve button up shirts that can be worn to the office, dinners, weddings, or a night on the town.
Nifty Tip: Color shocked? When in doubt go neutral: Black, white, grey, and brown go with most things.
5 Black leather Shoes -
Another staple. Choose a pair with a rubber sole. Shoes with rubber soles are more versatile, so you will get more wear out of them. They will also be more comfortable. Try a pair from Amazon:
