The Kim Award for Honest Speech and Straight Talk goes to Sheriff Grady Judd of Polk County FL for this outstanding comment:
People have a right to be safe in their homes… I highly recommend, if a looter enters your home, you grab your gun and you shoot him, you shoot him so he looks like grated cheese.
I bet he drinks straight bourbon with a vitriol chaser.
No doubt some fainting goats will have a problem with his fine suggestion; just nobody on this website.
“Dear Dr Kim:
“Walked into one of my local Merchants Of Death recently. On the wall they had one of the Enfield Mark IV’s you listed in your blog the other day.
“Asked the counter guy if I could walk back there and handle it. His response was yes, and he went with me.
As he watched me handle the ABSOLUTELY buttery smooth action and the beautiful peep site, he said,
“You know the only problem with that?” to which my response was
“.303 ammo” and he nodded his head.
To which I responded:
“I have an Ishapore Enfield in .308, and I love historical firearms.”
He said, “I’d rather have the Ishapore than the Mark IV”. (I’m assuming because of ammo.)
“I don’t have a point. I didn’t walk out with the Mark IV because of $$$$.
“I just wanted to say:
“Fuck the ATF, Fuck the Tax man, Fuck anyone who makes such a wonderful piece unaffordable, Fuck the ammo manufacturers. Basically Fuck Anyone who makes it impossible for me to own such a wonderful piece of history.
“And Fuck You Dr. Kim for letting me know such things exist and now I can no longer live in ignorance.
“And I guess Fuck Me for being too poor to play in the game.”
— Frustrated in Boise.
Dear Frus,
That’s the most interesting request for a loan I’ve ever had.

I’ve been watching the outstanding Brit TV show Sex Education — which, after a shaky start in the first episode-and-a-half, has turned into must-watch stuff for me. (I’m currently just into Season 2 of 3.)
But this isn’t a review of the show. Rather, I want to focus on [sic] a couple of the totties who star in the show.
Here’s Maeve, played by Franco-Brit actress Emma Mackey, as she appears in the show (as the school slut):
You can see that she’s pretty, but of course the character hides her true beauty:
Looks like a combination of Françoise Hardy and Brigitte Bardot, n’est-ce pas?
And then there’s tomorrow’s vision…
Any of my Longtime Readers will be at least familiar with this, as I’ve repeated time and time again that not one of the predictive algorithms used by these charlatans to drive the global warming/cooling/climate change hysteria has ever been close to its predicted outcome in terms of temperature change.
We need to end this ridiculous farce now, as it’s being used to destroy civilization and replace it with… well, universal poverty and misery, as far as I can make out.
That includes measures such as mandated ending of the internal combustion engine, replacement of clean and reliable energy generation with costly and unreliable substitutes, and all the zero net carbon nonsense — among many others.
I’d add flogging and execution of the chief charlatans, but that would probably appear as excessive to some wilting violets.
I draw your attention to this woman’s SHTF prep, not because of its extent — it seems quite reasonable for a family, and for an extended period of time.
Rowan MacKenzie, 38, a homemaker from Missouri, became a social media phenomenon after revealing she’s been prepping her home for 11 years because of fear of an emergency and has upped the ante, spending nearly $30,000 on supplies as a result of the intensification of the war between Russia and Ukraine. Rowan claims most of her stock will last up to 25 years and she has a ‘flawless’ rotation system to ensure there isn’t any waste.
Her reasoning is quite sound and the photos are of particular interest; but for a good giggle, read the article and then the comments which follow.
Did they all miss the part about her laying in extra guns and ammo? Pity the fool…
However, her biggest piece of advice? Stock up on weaponry. She said: “The number one must for any bunker is defense. I would highly recommend having a few guns and knives in your bunker at all times, along with ample amounts of ammunition. You need to protect yourself, especially in a ‘dog-eat-dog’ situation. It’s kill or be killed and you need the best possible chance of survival.”
Also, this being (I bet) rural or semi-rural Missouri, her neighbors will have made similar preparations, so any interaction between her and them will be of the “Can I swap a cup of sugar for a can of beans?” variety. If that.
Good for her, and a pox on the naysayers and mockers.
