I agree!!! Now, stop smearing Franklin Graham’s reputation!Enough.
I am putting you on ignore, perhaps for a while, perhaps permanently. Believe whatever trips your trigger.
We are between the two places at about 25 miles from Perry. It was a substantial jolt.Earthquake strikes northern Oklahoma after Tulsa Trump rally
A magnitude 4.2 earthquake shook northern Oklahoma on Saturday and was felt in parts of Tulsa as protesters filled the city's downtown streets after President Donald Trump's campaign rally.
The U.S. Geological Survey recorded the quake at 10:15 p.m. near Perry, roughly 80 miles west of Tulsa. The National Weather Service in Oklahoma said on Twitter that its staff felt the tremor in its Tulsa office, and the earthquake generated social media buzz after Trump's appearance.
It was the largest recorded earthquake in Oklahoma since a magnitude 4.4 quake in May 2019.
It must have been if people in Tulsa felt it; and if you're that much closer to Perry, you must have really felt it. I wonder if it's related to the fracking? Probably.We are between the two places at about 25 miles from Perry. It was a substantial jolt.
I am pretty sure the earthquakes are directly related to if not caused by the fracking, but those responsible for fracking will be slow to admit and never admit their responsibility because they do not want to pay for any resulting damages.It must have been if people in Tulsa felt it; and if you're that much closer to Perry, you must have really felt it. I wonder if it's related to the fracking? Probably.
I wonder how Oklahoma is going to fare economically. I read that Chesapeake Energy will probably go into bankruptcy. I don't own stock in that, but I do in other companies I know do business in Oklahoma. I have a financial interest to hope Oklahoma returns to prosperity. I think some smaller and newer operations may shut down; but I think the larger companies will survive. As long as people aren't flying and going on cruises as much, that will mean lower demand for oil; but I read that more people are driving now, preferring that to using public transportation. That should mean a little more demand for oil. Oklahoma's unemployment rate is not recovering. Its recovery rate is among the worst in the nation. Something needs to be done just in case those jobs in oil and natural gas don't come back soon. I'd like to see some of those jobs come back (it would be good for the people there, and it would be money in my pocket too), but I'd also like different kinds of jobs being created there. Oil can't last forever. Texas is in a similarly sad situation.
There was also some bad news which could to be good news in the long term if people do the sensible thing. There's lithium in Oklahoma, and the fracking is making it turn up. It's showing up in the groundwater in some places. That almost certainly comes from the fracking disturbing things; and that's the bad news. The good news is it is possible to pump up the water used in fracking to extract the lithium. I heard a man doing research on it on the BBC, discussing how he was connecting up with oil companies so if and when he gets how to do it down pat, they'll be set to go. He was also talking about how to get lithium from sea water.
One thing seems sure to me: I did the math once on the known reserves of lithium that can be mined. I divided the amount of known reserves by the weight of the average lithium battery. There's not enough to make all the batteries people are talking about. If people want electric powered cars, there is no way mining the lithium will be enough. I'm thinking maybe the US will start getting more of its lithium from Oklahoma and Texas some day. It may also help with the earthquake and water pollution problems if that water is pumped back to the surface.
1. "Lashing out at people" -- Trump would not have to do that if the media had honestly reported on their own shenanigans, the corruption in DC, and the vile shenanigans of the Democrats (which they have NEVER done since Obama took office).On the contrary, he continues to lash out at people verbally, continues to lie, continues to hide his tax returns after promising to divulge them.
I think I understand why politicians didn't want to do anything. They think the benefits outweigh the harm. By the time the complete risk is known, ithe harm's already been done. Have you seen a video of tapwater that can be set on fire? That was happening here in Pennsylvania. Then the lawsuits started. This isn't from Pennsylvania, but it shows what I mean. People are breathing methane when they turn on the faucet?I am pretty sure the earthquakes are directly related to if not caused by the fracking, but those responsible for fracking will be slow to admit and never admit their responsibility because they do not want to pay for any resulting damages.
I did not grow up in Oklahoma and really knw nothing about the lithium here. You know more about it already than I do. I do know something about people here though...
When we lived in Ponca City OK the location of the largest oil refinery in Oklahoma the oil company [Conoco at the time] chose to buy out dozens of homes and businesses [at very nice prices] located in their part of town as well as make payments to renters in the area using a formula based on how long the people had resided in there. Their purpose was to head off those who were suffering in particular from breathing troubles and lung damage due to the fumes released to the atmosphere. Of course, they never admitted to being responsible, but anyone taking money from them signed a statement which prevented them from later coming back and suing the company. They spent a lot of money, but it was certainly less than they would have paid out if they had been sued and lost. My wife was in her worst time with here asthma then and could tell when the refinery was burning off the wastes each day. We did not live close to the refinery, but Ponca City was not that big so anyone in town was pretty close. The mayor of the city was very quick to deny the affect of refinery wastes on people with lung problems. He did know better but it was his "town" and the refinery was the life blood [still is] of Ponca City Oklahoma.
The same kind of thing was occurring with the fracking I believe. People who would be affected personally financially by the reduction or discontinuance of fracking often [usually?] could see nothing wrong with it. People not so directly affected or who were a bit more honest were on the other side of the question. Some years after my retirement in 2000 my wife and moved away from there. No one lived real close to the refinery any more, but my wife still was adversely affected by their daily burn offs. We moved 50 miles away from there.
He's not in control of his actions because the Democrats and the media put him out of control. He is not a baby. He could have learned how to control himself by now instead of making himself look like a toddler throwing fits. Most of the stuff in the news would disappear if he ignored it. He gives it life by taking the bait.1. "Lashing out at people" -- Trump would not have to do that if the media had honestly reported on their own shenanigans, the corruption in DC, and the vile shenanigans of the Democrats (which they have NEVER done since Obama took office).
I would say you're exaggerating again. I would not say "all the Democrats" have been "blatantly lying for a very long time." I have mention some lies from Democrats. You must not be paying attention. And honestly, what people did in the past doesn't concern me that much unless they are still in power. What Trump says and does concerns me more since he is the President. What he says and does is more important to me than what someone like AOC says.2. "Continues to lie" -- this may or may not be true, but one thing is absolutely true. All the Democrats have been BLATANTLY LYING for a very long time, yet you have said nothing about their lies. Which means you actually love the liars and their lies.
I never asked to see them. He said he would release them. That was his business, his decision, his promise. Then he refused. He lied.3. "Continues to hide his tax returns" -- WHICH ARE NOBODY'S BUSINESS. As long the the IRS had no issues with his tax returns, the evil Democrats had no business to nose into his affairs. Just another excuse to bring down Trump.
When Gates is President, I'll look at him more. When Soros is President, I'll look at him more. Right now, Trump is the guy with the power. I'm not going to blame other people for his failures.All your attacks on Trump are essentially RUBBISH. Focus on exposing the Democrats, BLM, Antifa, Soros, Fauci, Gates, and above all Obama -- who opened the Pandora's box of lawlessness in America.
Let's remember Trump's background. He had no political experience. He doesn't know how to govern, doesn't know how to make deals with the opposition when necessary to get things he wants by giving them things they want. He also wasn't even a good businessman. You can see that from how many bankruptcies he had. He was a con man when elected and continues to think he can con people; but it's wearing thin. Going on a witchhunt against Obama wouldn't helped Trump. Being truthful would have. I don't need anyone to lie to me. I agreed with many things Trump said he was in favor of. The sad fact is he lacks the competency to govern. He thinks the best way to get people to agree with him is to threaten or insult them. His supporters may enjoy that act of being tough at rallies, they may enjoy it when he insults people -- but it doesn't play well outside his core supporters.Had Trump seriously gone after Barack Obama as soon as he became president, the USA would not be in the mess that it is at present. Obama should have been behind bars for treason. He is behind the conspiracy against Trump, and all the lawlessness we see today.
At the same time and in all fairness to his supporters, Mr. Trump has failed to keep his promise to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. He has surrendered his authority to traitors, and now to the anarchists in America.
Too often it is about money and what they can do legally at the moment or even illegally as long as it is not easy to catch. I would guess that in many cases historical information of the potential for trouble down the road exists. Again doing it the right or best way may cost more money in the short run. The long run problems may be unknown but even if known how many people know or care? There are too many things like this and too many other things to consume our time and efforts...I think I understand why politicians didn't want to do anything. They think the benefits outweigh the harm. By the time the complete risk is known, ithe harm's already been done. Have you seen a video of tapwater that can be set on fire? That was happening here in Pennsylvania. Then the lawsuits started. This isn't from Pennsylvania, but it shows what I mean. People are breathing methane when they turn on the faucet?
That methane could be used as fuel in natural gas if they caught it. My guess is it's about money. It is probably cheaper to let some of it escape than to try to get almost all of it.
It's probably a matter of time before other areas of the country develop lung problems the way your wife did. We used to ship a lot of our trash to China for "recycling." Now more and more of it is either being burnt or winding up in landfills. I think Amazon, allegedly such a liberal company, is a prime example of how unnecessary waste is produced because they can make money. The amount of cardboard and paper they use is crazy; and most of it winds up not being recycled. Companies also tend to use new plastic instead of recycling old. I know Trump doesn't like Amazon -- I was hoping he'd do something about the situation. Trash companies stack stuff up hoping to recycle it but eventually give up and burn it. I'm glad I don't live close to one of those plants.
The liberal media won't give him a break, even for a second...he can do nothing right in their eyes.
With so many people against him, it is no wonder that he doesn't try to solve things by bringing them to a place of discussion...if he did do that, anything and everything that he stands for would be immediately opposed by all of the liberals in the government; and nothing would be accomplished.
It does not matter what Obama tried to do or not do. He rammed through the ILLEGAL and treasonous deal with Iran and he was not impeached for treason. He also shipped billions of dollars of hard cash to the terrorist-supporting ayatollahs of Iran. After that he headed up an ILLEGAL CONSPIRACY for a coup against Trump. All those actions should have had him behind bars.Republicans blocked everything he tried to do...even if they themselves at one time were for the same things.

Oh? Republicans controlled the White House and both houses of Congress the first two years of Trump's administration, and they couldn't conduct an inquiry into these allegations? Why elect Republicans if they are so inept? Go ahead, start talking about the "deep state" and how powerful it is. Too bad Republicans are also so weak.The Departments of State, Treasury, and Justice have all rebuffed a congressional probe into the circumstances surrounding the $1.3 billion payment to Iran, which is part of an additional $400 million cash payout that occurred just prior to the release of several U.S. hostages and led to accusations that the administration had paid Iran a ransom.
Trouble seems to follow Trump wherever he goes. This church got warned by the Arizona Attorney General about this fantastic claim.Arizona Mega-Church Set to Host Trump Rally Falsely Claims Its Air Filter Zaps COVID-19
An Arizona mega-church where President Donald Trump is set to hold a rally on Tuesday claimed it possesses technology to clear the air of the novel coronavirus.
