I have not done one of these in a long time. Going back to my early postings as Brett Jeremy on Huffington Post, one of my favorite things to do was adding alternative entries to Ambrose Bierce’s Devil’s Dictionary. It was a fun way to lampoon the day’s events. —you may add your own definitions. Without further ado I present to you,
HOMO BIGOTUS, n. A subspecies of the lowest kind of the human branch. Homo Bigotus can be found throughout the world, having the largest concentrations in the continental United States. In the southern and mid-west states there exist a curious deviation, unremarkable from Homo Bigotus with the sole exception of a pronounced gun fetish.
Characteristics of Homo Bigotus include, but not limited to, extreme hatred of minorities, people any shade other than pale, women, the LGBT community.
Weaknesses: Education and personal hygiene.
Heroes: The Ku Klux Klan, The Republican Party.
Personification: Donald Trump. A boorish, orangutan orange anus hue demagogue that is the Republican presidential candidate front-runner.

Why Did Bernie Endorse Hillary Before Philly?
It has been two days since Bernie Sanders tragically endorsed Hillary Clinton. I say tragic because it was not supposed to happen. Not yet. Sanders endorsed Hillary, saying she would be an outstanding president, all while appearing very angry, upset, and frustrated. There was no glimmer in his eyes. There was no fighting spirit in his voice. There was only a shell of a man, sweating profusely, gripping the sides of a podium as if his life depended on the words that were coming out of his mouth.
In less than 48 hours, donations to Green Party candidate Jill Stein have jumped nearly 1000 percent. Hundreds of those donations totaled exactly $27, a clear middle finger to the DNC and Hillary in particular. Because of the drastic jump in donations to Stein, the DNC is running damage control. They’re now sending Bernie delegates emails in an attempt to convince them to switch over to Hillary, and according to this Reddit post, they’re not happy about it.

Sanders ally Cornel West backs Green candidate | TheHill
Activist Cornel West is endorsing Green Party candidate Jill Stein after previously backing Bernie Sanders’s presidential bid.
“This November, we need change,” he wrote Thursday in an op-ed for The Guardian. “Yet we are tied in a choice between [Donald] Trump, who would be a neo-fascist catastrophe, and [Hillary] Clinton, a neo-liberal disaster.”

anyone who’s ever seen the man speak knows, he has a powerful mind!, and is a powerful speaker!
“Yet we are tied in a choice between [Donald] Trump, who would be a neo-fascist catastrophe, and [Hillary] Clinton, a neo-liberal disaster.”
so clearly true, couldn’t be better said.
My spouse has a cousin in Nice. She’s checked in safe and sound. There’s an app for that apparently.
Glad your family is safe. Mrs CBD loves Nice, she had a meeting there and fell in love with the area.
Good news. It’s going to get worse.
Millennials Are Rejecting The ‘Lesser Of Two Evils’ Argument
Young voters are tired, it seems, of the “lesser of two evils” argument that has so often been used to pressure voters into choosing a less-than-ideal candidate.
According to a new poll released on Thursday, almost half of Bernie Sanders’s millennial supporters — 48 percent — now say that they will vote for a third-party candidate over the two widely disliked nominees of America’s two major parties.
http://www.inquisitr.com/3307640/bernie-sanders-or-bust-millennials-are-rejecting-the-lesser-of-two-evils-argument/
I was so harsh on millennials, I had reason to be but still they have proven themselves. They are aware and want to fix the broken system.

The beat goes on with terror.in France again.It seems the have a new tactic of the soft random and unusual attack
They are going back to the old style terrorism of the late 70/80’s. Shit got real.
Time to Reign in the Robber Barons Again
The nation’s 1% has been making a killing from artificially inflated stock prices for nearly four decades, and that concentration of wealth and power has come at the direct expense of the US working and middle class.
Between 1948 and 1973, productivity and wages tracked very closely, productivity increased by 96.7 percent and wages went up 91.3 percent.
But between 1973 and 2013 (that’s the same time period when stock buybacks effectively de-linked stock value from economic output), worker productivity increased by 74.4 percent, and wages only increased by 9.2 percent.
And that’s been really harmful to our economy, because it’s a basic economic fact that the wages of average workers, the people who actually buy stuff, are what drive real economic growth.
It’s no coincidence that as stock prices grew since 1979, the top 1% of earners in the US saw their wages increase by 138 percent, while the entire bottom 90 percent of US earners only saw their wages increase by 15 percent.
Because the top 1%, and especially the CEOs and board members of the largest firms in the US, are nothing but a new generation of robber barons.

They call themselves the talent. I had a heated argument with one on this very topic—they see themselves as indispensable and that they should not be penalized in any way for the economic collapse.
I find this funny—The Wall Street Journal is trying to push trickle down indirectly and the commenters makes them look stupid.

wall street journal…
I say no more…
Hillary Clinton’s 6-point lead over Donald Trump in last month’s CBS News poll has now evaporated. As of mid-July (even before Trump enjoys a predictable post-convention bump in the polls) she is tied with him. Each garners the support of 40 percent of voters.
This is astounding, given that Trump’s campaign is in shambles while hers is a well-oiled machine; that he’s done almost no advertising while she began the month spending $500,000 a day on ads; and that Republican leaders are deserting him while Democrats are lining up behind her.
The near tie is particularly astonishing given that Trump has no experience and offers no coherent set of policies or practical ideas but only venomous bigotry and mindless xenophobia, while Hillary Clinton has a boatload of experience, a storehouse of carefully-crafted policies, and a deep understanding of what the nation must do in order to come together and lead the world.
What happened? Apparently the FBI’s recent report on Clinton’s email heightened what already were public concerns about her honesty and trustworthiness. Last month, on that same CBS poll, 62 percent of voters said she’s not honest and trustworthy; now 67 percent of voters have that view.
So as the Republican convention prepares to nominate the least qualified and most divisive candidate in American history, the Democrats are about to nominate among the most qualified and yet also most distrusted.
What explains this underlying distrust?

If Donald Trump wins…
It’s going to suck being a resident of Raqqah in the near future.
I only go there for the waters.
BLAH!
Looks like a nice little pleasure cruise. Was this from your vacation?
I was driving that dingy. Just some footage of the Indian ocean when it gets rough.
FANCY!!!!!!!!
❤ ❤ ❤ FANCY ❤ ❤ ❤
Have I ever told you how much I love you Tio. ❤ ❤ ❤
I really love you, too. So, happy to see you. ❤ ❤ ❤
FANCY!!! Are you improving? I’ve been missing you soooooooooooooo much!!! ❤ ❤
Any updates yet?
Nope only what I posted about a week ago.
You should get ‘big ears’ to send her a card.
Would be the only good thing he did 😀
She’d be thrilled
😛
TY for your kind words Classical. ❤
It’s so good to see you back! How are you feeling? ❤
Not real well but just have to start telling people how much I appreciate them Classical.
I hope to catch you on chat when you’re better.
Don’t overdo things – rest and take your vits! Yes, you never know when your world might turn upside down.
Good advise. Your right Classical.

JACK!!!!!!!!!! ❤
JACK!!!!!!!!! ❤
OH THE REAL FK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How are you? Getting better?
My local doc gave me stronger meds today Jack. Never been this sick, at least not for a long time. Send you an E soon. You sure look cute. 🙂
❤ My love, you’re back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As long as I can Tio. Hope you are well my love. ❤
I doing good. You take care of yourself. Don’t make me come out there! 🙂
🙂
Luv it Tio!!!!!!!!
I always love the Stones Tio. ❤ ❤
I’ll wait then–yes, did you see my arms? Doing curls for the girls 😀
Lucky girls Jack!!!!!!!
Welcome back to the Realm Fancy, we’ve missed you. Don’t overdo it, get your rest.
TY waverly. You’ve given me kind words. I will rest. My body says so. ❤
Glad to see you Fancy. Hope you’re feeling better.
I finally decided I might live. Not up to par but better Darth. Somewhere along the way you played a song for me. I was touched
The birth of Trump
He should only be so easy to dispatch.
Looks like him, doesn’t it? He must be defeated. It’s going to require people rowing in the same direction and I don’t see that happening.
I’m still hoping the R’s do their own dirty work and manage to lose his sorry ass at the Convention.
Never thought I’d be cheering on Mitt, but it’s a desperate situation. There’s never been a worse or more dangerous candidate for president. Not in our lifetimes anyway. It’s going to require all hands on deck, but like I said, i don’t see it happening.
I don’t either. Both of the candidates are toxic – anything could happen. ~shudder~
I know it’s not popular, but I WILL vote for the lesser of two evils. The stakes, IMO anyway, are too high to risk president trump.
You have to vote your conscience, as do we all.
The Republicans has messes their own pig sty. They should have made it clear that he wasn’t getting the nod but they thought they could corral that idiot. In the end I think he will implode and Hillary will be the only person running…well out of the two party system that is.
Completely understood.
That can only happen if people feel that we are all in the same boat. Wealth disparity is beyond third world levels in America. People are hurting.
http://inequality.org/global-inequality/
If I’m correct the disparity in this country is at it’s worst right here in the Boston area. Could be silicon valley, but I think we edged them out. I’m well aware. If trump wins we’ll all be in the same boat for sure. Like CG said, we should all vote our conscience. Everybody has been pretty outspoken about their positions, I thought I’d state mine.
I’m so competitive when it comes to NYC and Boston—let me offer thisas counter argument:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One57
Fair enough.
X2 on that
My liege!
So, they’re thinking this asshole tried to set off an explosive in the crowd. Fortunately it didn’t go off.
I hope for a Heaven/Hell situation just so I can see these guys burn.
My guess is that the west is going to seriously step up the attacks in Syria.
Blanket warfare, that’ll fix nothing.
Not carpet bombing, but more, lots more targeted attacks
Small favors… This absolutely makes me ill.
No I didn’t Jack. He’ll find my note above. Tio is a gem.
😀
HA! They need to fix the eye roll.
I can’t express how happy I am to see you.
❤
Pbbbbbttttt!!!!!!!!!!!! 😛
I love that! Thanks Jack
I love me some Bayonets Tio.
I know!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
I need to get to sleep. I’m recording with a local singer songwriter tomorrow night starting at 6 est. It’ll go late so I won’t be around. If it comes out OK I could send it to you if you’d like. I’ve been working on my solos all week. Praying I don’t panic when the red light comes on…………………..
Sweet Dreams ❤
Nite Tio. Sounds exciting. I would like that very much. If by E Jack will give to you. Sleep well.
Awesome! You’ll do well, no worries.
Sweet dreams, peace and love to you and yours.
Sleep well Tío.
Me too?! I’d love to hear your music ! ❤ ❤
It has been a horrible week but now it’s better because of you FK!
X2!
I hope not real horrible Jack but TY. Your a gem too.
Just the news and crap but mostly missing you…I didn’t make much fun of Big ears, even when he danced with W Bush.
❤ ..FANCY!!!.. ❤
Hope you can feel better. soon!…8-)
GEEN!!!!!!!

BOSS!….8-)
TY 4eyes. Beautiful. I do love your garden. ❤

Me too. I miss everyone. ❤
Pretty sure it’s mutual….8-)
Supposedly this guy uses only materials that he finds on site.
Natural sculptures by Andy Goldsworthy.
“Andy Goldsworthy is an extraordinary, innovative British artist whose collaborations with nature produce uniquely personal and intense artworks. Using a seemingly endless range of natural materials—snow, ice, leaves, bark, rock, clay, stones, feathers petals, twigs—he creates outdoor sculpture that manifests, however fleeting, a sympathetic contact with the natural world. Before they disappear, or as they disappear, Goldsworthy, records his work in superb colour photographs.”
Great concept.
The sticks are a little Blair witchy for me, but other than that, not bad.
I wonder about that one stick, floating and suspended between the others. It reminds me of a spider web or antenna, what with the fog and all.
sorcery!
I didn’t even notice that. Double sorcery!
Beautiful Darth. I luv when you find interesting stuff.
Glad you’re feeling better.
Coolth, Darth!..That second pic speaks to me.. 😎 ….8-)
He does a lot of those
Forgot the link, my bad
http://visualmelt.com/Andy-Goldsworthy
These are amazing!
What a terrible day. 😦
Seriously. I can take a lot but this entire week has been fuckery central.
Yeah it has.
Indeed it has.
I’ll say it has!….8-)
Night. Better get back to bed. Will catch everyone as I see them. Peace.
Get some rest. SYL
Yes, don’t over do it, rest we’ll be ok for now. Nite!
Sleep well, take care of you. Peace and love to you, fancy.
Restful dreamz, Fancy!.. ❤ ….8-)
Rest well Dear Fancy. Hope I’ll see you soon! {{{{{HUGS }}}}} & ❤
TY Vera. You are always so kind. I will rest. ❤
And now another: Jackhole’s Realm Alternative Entry to the Devil’s Dictionary.
Odious, adj . The current presumptive presidential candidates of the United States Democratic party and Republican party. On the Democratic front, a life long scandal in stylish pantsuits on the Republican side An orange Orangutan anus, see Homo Bigotus entry.
Jack! We need a vacation!! Someplace lovely and far from the insanity. Do your magic, please.
Oh you tell me this late? In the morning I’ll find something. Pix of my vacay or ice-cream day, whatever is fastest 😛 😉
Perfect – The Realm gets to wake up to a whole new day.
