It’s Friday, I’m drinking a Gin Pellegrino, and it’s time to post an image of the week.

I’m tempted to post the image of Trump sitting in Winston Churchill’s chair, but really any of the photos of Trump would be good this week.

However, another notable event happened in the form of Peter Strzok’s Congressional hearing. And if you took the time to view it in any form, you would have seen some…interesting…body language from him.

Fortunately for us, we have Mandy at Bombard’s Body Language to interpret. I particularly liked her video on Strzok. It covers not only him, but the FBI lawyer and some of the power squabbles amongst the congressmen.

What struck me about Strzok’s body language is how much of his energy is sitting right behind his eyes, really forward in his head. He’s probably stressed out, and fully engaged, and trying to remember all of what the FBI has told him to lie about, but it’s a really weird look. He feels imbalanced somehow, like he’s only focused outwardly and not internally at all, like a normal person. Usually we’re somewhat balanced between inner and outer perception.

Anyway, this observation is what really caught my attention. Bombard began talking about the roles that the different congressmen were playing as they jockeyed for power.

“If you took out all of the crazy people then there wouldn’t be any crazy people.” No, that is not true. In any group, no matter the size, you’re going to have a leader, you’re going to have an enforcer, you’re going to have a believer, you’re going to have a clown, you’re going to have an idiot, and you’re going to have a crazy person. No matter what the size. You could take all those people out who stand out [in the crowd], and another leader would arise, another enforcer would arise, another idiot would arise, and so on. The only reason that they all don’t rise is because those with stronger minds suppress those who don’t have the strong minds.

This is why it’s important to have a strong mind–and to show it.
