Well, I just got done at West Park Urgent Care, and I have some good news. I tested negative for both the flu and the Coof, and I've lost another 3 lbs.. That means I'm now 287 lbs. - a 73-lb. loss - and I'm not contagious.
The doctor checked me out after the tests were done, and my lungs are clear, my heart is good, and I have no swelling in my glands. I just have body aches, a screaming headache, and postnasal drip, and he told me to take some Tylenol, close my blinds, and get some rest when I get home. And I fully intend to do just that.
Now I'm home, and I just had one of my meal prep bowls of vegetable beef soup for lunch. And I have my blinds closed and will be taking my meds and some Tylenol in a few minutes, and I'm going to rest this afternoon and go to bed early tonight. But don't worry. I'll catch The Five and GUTFELD! when I get up in the morning, before I go to PSR.
And now, with another Jericho Cruise video to follow...
Today is Monday, March 3rd, and our fearless...
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 ...
