Scams Series
New Documentaries on the Latest Scams
While action-adventure, fantasy, sci-fi, crime, and animated films may rule at the box office, documentaries have been growing in popularity on online platforms like Netflix, Hulu, Max, and Amazon. Especially popular are true crime documentaries, featuring the latest investigation, legal ins and outs, and story of a tragic victim.

How the White House Dog Race Is Heating Up (With Video Link)
I’ve been intrigued by the different leadership styles of Joe Biden and Donald Trump, since I wrote a book about leadership styles based on different personality types. While there are a number of personality type profiles, such as Myers-Briggs, Color Profiling, and DISC, I developed a system based on four different dog types and conducted a series of workshops.

Both can be effective leaders, but they attract different types of followers.

For example, in the inner cities, protests are growing in response to police killings of civilians, even if an officer is cleared due to acting in self-defense.
