I have written at least three essays on the subject of the Camel, with which I will not bother you. However my intense distaste for her, like with HRC, has only grown with time. Now that she flashed her gams on the Hampton Boardwalk, getting approving nods and ogles, she sincerely believes that she is of presidential material, as was of course John Buchanan.

The purpose of this essay is to illuminate a fact (alternate fact or pseudofact, maybe). As you know in previous life, before my reptile brain really kicked in overdrive, I was a neurosurgeon. Thus with 40+ years of practice, neuropsychiatry and advanced brain injury training, I think I have some (perhaps not much) into the mechanism though which the mind works. Note: I did not write that this is about cognitive process for this would miss the essential point of this argument, as it was wont in more literate times to a written or verbal discussion of thought.

Illustrated below is a snapshot of Kamala's campaign video announcing her candidacy for Prez on Jan. 29, 2019. The purpose of this single frame is to show what I perceive to be a basic aspect of the Camel's underlying psychopathy. Bringing old memories back, some of the readers may remember a series of 6 essay's written by me in 2016. Aspects of facial expression as windows to underlying neurologic functioning, including emoting are mentioned in the prior essays, which will be be recapitulated here.

For reference material on this subject, YouTube has a channel, previously called "Bombard's Body Language", which through algorithms understood only by YouTube, had to be re-named and then re-named to the original. The analyst is a conservative politically, interjecting commentary as well as observation. The episodes seem to have some validity, although the emphasis on that channel is toward body postures, poses and movements, some content is directed to facial expression. Note: NONE of my ideas about the Camel's face came from anyone but me--i.e. they are mine.

Note the platitude beneath the face, that's standard politicking verbiage. Now enough about policy.

What is the first thing about her face--fixate on the face--when looking at this picture?

If you said female of color with dark hair, you of course have mastered the obvious. What else? Two eyes, right again! A mouth with white teeth, yeah! right again.

First things first. Even the best actors cannot completely rid themselves of the subtle associated facial movements associated with ANY human activity, whether 100% emotive, to the other spectral end, being 100% factual. Most of us guard our emotions for specific reasons. But this residually expressible emotion will play a role on facial expression, despite best efforts at suppression.

One excellent starting point for facial analysis of the psychorevelatory nature used here is facial symmetry, or lack thereof. Imagine the frontal view of another person's face. Anatomically the plane of the frontal view is called the coronal plane.

Marked facial asymmetries are obviously anatomic in nature, possibly due not only to musculoskeletal issues developing in utero but perhaps underlying neurologic deficit. The types of asymmetry involve such things as sunken foreheads, bulging eyes, cleft lip, enlarged jaw, etc.

No facial analysis should be made by a consulting physician without in person observation of a individual under study. However, I am not consulting--insulting perhaps, but not consulting in this case.

Start your study at the top:

Hairline--normal female

Eyebrows--level, equal thickness

Eyes--oops! The first clue. Consider that 30% of cerebral neurons are concerned directly or indirectly with the visual system. This means that there is plentiful cortical and subcortical input to the external appearance of the visual system. Which means, that cerebral motor output occurs to the eyes. Vision is primarily an exteroceptive organ function, but there is also an associated fine but observable motor response system.

Beneath the eyebrows are of course the eyelids, conjunctiva (whites), irises. Notice here the widening vertically of the right eye larger than that of the left. This is no fixed deficit as none were seen on hours videos I've watched her on.
My impression is that there is either increased activation of the left prefrontal cortex and/or decreased activation of the right prefrontal cortex. Such an inference is also compatible with the widened palpebral fissure (the space between the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid) on the right side. This reflects asymmetrical prefrontal lobe activation.

Her left brain is working harder than her right brain. Why?

Nose--appropriate for face

Mouth--oops! Left side open more widely than the right. As stated, this reflects asymmetrical hemispheric function. The likely reason for this asymmetry is also suppression of right hemispheric activation, which has relaxed faster than the right side of the mouth on this image. So her left brain is still more activated than the right brain.

Grossly simplifying my thesis is that the right brain is the more emotive, socially aware, creative side (not, instead, creating lies). The left side is calculating, methodical, more focussed and planning side.

It is ridiculous to insist that one can predict the "personality" of an individual by analysis (often from a distance) by some measure of focal brain dominances. In fact, many modalities uses such objective analytics to measure brain function, closely aligning mapped function with good anatomical specification. All of these modalities combined cannot give you a flavor of what that person "is really like".

Reading somebody is an art. It is born of experience, trial and error, deceptions, disappointments, loving, fear, go having lived life AND understood some of those lessons.

Considering facial musculature not surgically altered as another external measure is an essential part of discerning appearances. This is the "reading" part of neurological data, just as much as any fMRI or SPECT scan. During our whole lives these movements occur as we grow and develop. Unless you are in a regimented Spartan-like environment where emotionality is beaten out of you at age 7, you'll likely have no great control. Keeping that facial control prolonged periods is effortful, though, as with the Camel, gets better with practice. She has revealed her untruthful commentary with whatever commentary she made in her campaign video.

For comparison, here is a similar pose by a similar politician:
