About this ebook
Broken down along the three major agendas associated with the collusion storyline, First Premise takes the reader back to where the narrative all began--specifically, the Liberal Media's landslide victory claim.
It was the unfounded assertion Hillary Clinton would win the 2016 Presidential election in a landslide that gave birth to two equally erroneous assumptions--Hillary Clinton was invincible and Donald Trump was unelectable. These two fictitious assumptions would never be tested--sadly, those assumption would become the basis of the liberal media's "Stolen Election" narrative, which ultimately spawned the CIA's unsubstantiated allegation of Russian interference.
First Premise sets the record straight, giving the reader a solid foundation in which to put the disparate pieces of the "Collusion Saga" in their proper place.

Author’s Note
About Occam’s Razor
Occam’s Razor is predicated on a single guiding principle—providing relief.
By working to develop the context and insights necessary to create an informed consumer base, Occam’s Razor is focused on addressing the frustration and anxiety that has led to so much anger regarding the pressing issues of the day.
It must be emphasized: There is no desire on the part of Occam’s Razor to influence the reader with opinion. There is already more than enough such material, mostly unfounded, in the market. Furthermore, it is the feeling of the author that opinion, founded or otherwise, does not lead to lasting relief and therefore has limited value.
This has led to a different kind of product, one where topics are explored in an a-political, non-biased manner using the principles of plausibility attributed to William of Ockham (1287-1347).
Occam’s razor: Among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions is likely the right one. In other words: In the American Southwest, if one hears hoof beats—think horses, not zebras.
It is worth stating: There is rarely any certitude when dealing with current events or any issue for that matter.
In addition, there is no claim of deity-like abilities on the part of Occam’s Razor.
The author is well aware he does not possess every possible fact or infinite wisdom.
Still, by applying the principles of plausibility to known (public) facts, rather than relying on mere conjecture and opinion, a far more robust picture can be developed. It is this more robust, non-biased, picture that leads to
