Is The Five a fucking rerun today? 'Cause I thought that Trump won the election like six weeks ago, and she lost.
Just stop talking about her already. It's over. We won, they lost.
What are you cooking tonight that requires two sticks of butter to make it truly great? 😂 This Mustards Napa cornbread is getting the full honey-butter treatment.
Congratulations to @SoCalMike and @Watchinaw. Your questions were chosen for tonight’s Ask Greg and the Panelists.
@SoCalMike Is there a television family your family was most like growing up?
@Watchinawe Did you ever find yourself rooting for the bad guy in a movie?
Happy Monday, Gutter Friends! It's a beautiful 70 degree sunny day here in the windy city. Had a wonderful weekend with family and hoping to get a lot done today. Up early and started. Hoping my car will be ready today, dealer has had it for a week, but have to say I have not minded driving the brand new loaner they gave me. I offered them an even trade, I keep this one, they keep my 5-year old car; the guy said, "You're hilarious!". I took it as a compliment. Doesn't hurt to ask. 🤣 Wishing everyone a wonderful Monday.

“Conversations with GROK”
Question: “Which modern political ideology is responsible for the most human death and suffering?”;
Answer: Communism (in its 20th-century implementations as Marxist-Leninist, Stalinist, Maoist, and related variants), by a very large margin.
This assessment rests on the scale of democide—government killing of civilians outside of conventional combat, including executions, engineered famines, forced labor camps, purges, and mass deportations—documented by historians and political scientists. The 20th century’s record of ideological mass killing is dominated by communist regimes.
Scale of the numbers
R.J. Rummel’s extensive democide research (University of Hawaii) remains the most systematic quantitative effort. His estimates for 1900–1987 put communist regimes at roughly 110–148 million victims (later upward revisions for China’s Great Leap Forward famine pushed totals higher in some presentations). A Reason summary of the same data framework lists ...
“The uncomfortable”
Facts of race and IQ.
The study of IQ and how it relates to genetics is a ‘Taboo’ subject.
I first read about this in a Thomas Sowel book, and then I witnessed Charles Murray vilified for writing a book about it, ‘The Bell Curve’.
Thomas Sowell liked to use the examples the gentleman in the clip uses. Chinese in SE Asia, Indians in Africa, and Jews in Europe. All of these groups were or are, on average more intelligent than the average person in those regions. They were more successful than the natives. Therefore these groups were vilified and there were Pogroms, because they ‘cheated’.
Why are they more intelligent on average? For the same reason (in my opinion) as why there is a disparity among the races.
Side note: Whites or Caucasians, on average, are in the middle of the pack. Jews (especially the Ashkenazi) have the highest average intelligence, followed by the Chinese. So none of these studies are used to infer that whites are superior. Blacks, on average have ...
