Good News, For A Change

De Beers, Good Stuff, Two-Minute Hate

You seen me rant about those evil assholes before.  Now there’s this:

Diamonds were once a girl’s best friend, according to Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 classic film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

But the boom of lab-grown rocks has upset traditional mining firms such as Anglo American, the owner of De Beers, the world’s leading diamond company, according to The Times.

The FTSE 100 company’s shares dropped by 20 per cent after it announced production cuts at its mines. Meanwhile, De Beers sold just $80million of rough diamonds at the end of October, compared with $454million a year earlier, BNN Bloomberg reported.

In comparison, the lab-created variety – regarded as more ethical and sustainable than those from mines – appears to be on the up; 10 per cent of diamonds sold in 2022 were lab-grown compared to only 2 per cent in 2018.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of corporate assholes.

Reminder Of Earlier Predictions

Eco-Crap, Watermelons

Of course, this is about the Coming Ice Age Of 1970.

Then there’s this one, more trenchantly stated:

Five hundred years ago, no one was driving, flying, using plastic bags or gas stoves. Electric vehicles were not a thing yet. The only vehicle was a horse, possibly pulling a carriage. There was even less CO2 activity 5000 years ago or 5 million years ago. Yet the climate was changing back then. How does science explain that? Or are they making things up now?

I’ll take that last one for $400, Alex.

Fucking charlatans.

Quote Of The Day

Eco-Crap, Watermelons

Via Insty:

Global warming-obsessed climatologists and media told us back in 2020 that snow and frost would be rare – a thing of the past!

Now with the heavy, record snowfall, global warming astrologists are looking a bit foolish and embarrassed. Their predictions are wrong. Already in November snow arrived and record amounts have already fallen.

You had me at “global warming astrologists”…

Read the whole thing.

Too Lenient

Crime, Seen On Campus

Nothing like a little pupil-teacher interaction, is there?

Jonathan Martinez-Garcia, 17, was sentenced to up to 40 years in prison in June after he ambushed the teacher – identified only as Sade – by asking if he could speak about his grades at El Dorado High School in April 2022.

During his June 2023 sentencing, it was revealed that the deranged student knocked the teacher unconscious. She later woke up with her pants and underwear down before the student threatened to burn her alive, prosecutors said. At one point in the attack, Martinez-Garcia told her: ‘Can’t you die already?’

The teacher was strangled from behind with cord during the attack and had her wrists cut, she now suffers from chronic pain and post-traumatic stress disorder, needing a walker to move around.

The teenager sickeningly smirked in court while his victim was recounting her terrifying experience. He later made the same expression when the was sentenced.

I’m thinking that the little shit needs at least 50 years, minimum, before parole is offered — with weekly whippings of, say, 50 strokes. See how much he smirks then.

But no doubt someone will have a problem with this quite reasonable suggestion.

Numbers Matter

Anti-Gun Nannies

From the NSSF, relating to the latest gun ban foolishness:

There were nearly 25 million AR/AK-style rifles in circulation on June 21, 2022, at which time the National Shooting Sports Foundation observed there were more AR/AK-style firearms in circulation “than Ford F-Series trucks on the road.”

And that was over a year ago.  I personally know of four people who’ve bought themselves lovely new AR-15s since then.  One guy bought a matched pair for himself and his wife:

If that doesn’t give you the Warm ‘N Fuzzies, go stand in the corner.
