The United States has vastly ramped up its oil production to meet the needs of its people. Oil is used for a variety of things, primarily to power transportation and in industry activity. Typical oil is currently sitting in the $40 price range compared to before, when oil was much scarcer and came in at prime prices. Now the United States produces oil in amounts comparable to Saudi Arabia and the shale oil produced in Canada, but the country was not always capable of keeping up with its vast demand. The top five uses for oil in the United States are for transportation, industry, powerplants, and for both residential and commercial use.</span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-414f9956-7fff-351f-f694-36bdfdb646f1"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Oil is used for transportation more than any other purpose in the United States. Oil powers machines both big and small when it is turned into their fuel. Gasoline for cars uses over nine million barrels of oil a day. It is not just car fuel that oil is used for in the transportation sector. 1.7 million barrels of oil a day is used for jet fuel. In total, 68% of the oil the United States uses every day is for transportation. Considering that the US makes up over 20% of the world’s oil consumption, the amount used for fuel in the US is massive. The planet uses 98.8 million barrels of oil a day, for frame of reference. This makes up the single biggest part of US oil consumption per day by itself.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Both industry and powerplant uses are among the most expansive uses for oil in the US today. Industrial uses of oil are varied, and oil goes in all sorts of industrial products. Agriculture is industrial work, and oil is used to make fertilizers and pesticides used in the work. In terms of heavy industry, oil is used to make all kinds of plastics and the rubber in tires. The industry makes up 26% of oil consumption in the United States. This makes industry the second most common use of oil in the country. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Powerplants make another vital use of oil. Oil powerplants are one of several ways oil is used to make power. Oil is also used in heating for all types of buildings, and there is oil in air conditioning systems. In the United States, electric power makes up less than 1% of oil consumption, but this still places it as the fifth most common use of oil in the country. Both industry and powerplants use oil in significant quantities, and they both use enough that they rank among the five most common uses of oil in the USA.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Residential and commercial uses of oil also pack a punch in terms of US oil usage. Residential uses for oil account for 3% of United States oil usage, which ranks it the third most common use of oil in the United States. Things like lubricants and waxes are produced for domestic use as part of oil’s purpose. These products make their way into things like candles and Vaseline. Businesses use oil to make some products that are sold commercially. Goods like ink are made with oil, and pharmaceuticals often use oil in the process of making them. Pill capsules and aspirin both contain oil. The USA uses 2% of its oil consumption commercially. Both the residential and commercial uses of oil apart from heat are substantial and rank as the third and fourth most common types of oil use in the United States.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The United States now is among the world leaders in oil production, helping to meet its vast oil demand. The United States now produces 15 million barrels of oil a day. Compare this to countries like Saudi Arabia, which is among the old guard of oil producers. The kingdom produces 12 million barrels of oil a day, however the risk associated with the place due to issues like </span><a href="http://www.punditpress.com/2017/01/video-of-houthi-attack-on-saudi-frigate.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">the war in Yemen</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> raise the price of their oil dramatically. Next, compare the United States to a producer of shale oil like Canada. Canada produces 3.6 million barrels of oil a day, and 97% of their oil is found in oil sands. The United States makes 7.76 million out of 15 million barrels a day in shale. This means that the United States produces much more of </span><a href="https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/oil-and-petroleum-products/use-of-oil.php" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">the oil it needs</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> for its local transportation, industry, power, residential, and commercial needs.</span></p><div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3002295256310995661.post-15387253404719990662020-10-17T15:30:00.005-04:002020-10-17T15:31:10.312-04:00Hunter Biden Crack Pipe PhotoAlleged, from the New York Post.

Known for having perfect weather nearly year-round, who wouldn't want to own a home in the west-coast paradise of California. Over the last twenty years, properties in California have increased their value by over one thousand percent. That's a win in real estate land! Properties increase in value in California because it consistently sees an inflow of people from all over the world wanting to live there. The only downfall here is this increases the cost of living as well. So while you may hit a home run in property value, you'll make up for the luck with higher prices every time you turn around.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Texas</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Texas is a wonderful state to explore your real estate endeavors. In Texas, everything is bigger! Yes, including real estate. For the same amount of money in California, you can get much more in Texas. That is exactly why people move here but hardly ever move from here, willingly of course. Unlike California, prices in Texas make you feel at home (like you hardly have to pay for anything). We are not saying things in Texas are free, but they sure are cheaper than many other states in the country. Texas is also rich in land. In Texas, you can purchase acres of real estate like nowhere else in the world. The warm climate adds to the fruitfulness of its soil, so growing crops on land is almost easy.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">New York</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Known for its popular culture and rich lifestyle, New York is a top hit for maximizing your investment portfolio. Property values in New York are some of the highest in the world and they keep on growing. Getting in right now is an arbitrage in the real estate game. With more and more people immigrating to the United States, New York is typically their first stop. This, like California, increases the price on standard goods; however, like California, you can really make some cash investing in a place in the state of New York.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 11.25pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 18pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Oklahoma</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This state is not a bad choice either.

But right now, interest rates are at an all-time low. As a consequence of the pandemic, banks have begun to lend money at a remarkably low rate. This means you have to pay back less if you opt for a loan to invest with. Not a bad idea, considering the current affairs of our economy. Right now you can save thousands of dollars strictly in interest. That's a no-brainer to investors.</span></p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Moreover, prices, in general, are discounted on average ten percent across the country right now. So not only can you save money in interest rates from a bank loan, but you can buy a property at a discounted price right now because sellers are uncertain about whether they will ever sell their property, so they will choose to take a little over nothing. It is simple supply and demand. These are good things to keep in mind when considering your next real estate move.

The most recent error by the Washington Post is a doozy. Slamming President Trump once again, the Wa Po used its print media status irresponsibly. I am breaking down the reasons why and how the paper can and should, but likely won't set a better example.
Unfortunately, the Washington Post's mistake is not a solitary case. The Bezos owned newspaper shifted considerably left over the last several years. As a result, its editorial standards shrank. This especially is the case when it comes to Donald Trump. The use of the press' influence to destroy the President is astonishing. Rarely has such a large media giant used its power of the press so carelessly. When factoring this error in with those of the last several years, a daring pattern emerges.
And it comes with considerable cost.
Not to the paper itself. Unfortunately, speculation and left wing agitprop sells. The paper <a href="https://www.geekwire.com/2018/washington-post-profitable-growing-two-years-jeff-bezos-ownership/">increased profitability</a> in the Bezos era. This isn't a compliment. It's a sign that their model actually <strong>profits</strong> by using such misleading claims. And it is also a sign that the media giant won't change its ways as long as there is profit to be had. It is terribly disappointing.

<h3>Misrepresentation of President Trump</h3>
Unfortunately, the Post's most recent mistake is just one of a series it committed in the recent past. The Post's influence in the DC Beltway makes such errors particularly reckless. Take the recent case in which the Post had to issue a correction for an erroneous report <a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/washington-post-forced-issue-correction-botched-trump-report-causes-confusion/">on the President</a>.
We can find the Washington Post story, including the correction <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/08/05/trump-post-removed-facebook/">here</a>.
The Post attempted a classic move by the political left over the last four years. The Post "dunked" on the President's re election efforts. Unfortunately, their efforts were misplaced. And erroneous. However, this is not a one time occasion as seen below.
The Post originally reported that Twitter penalized President Trump's personal account. However, that was not the case. The Post was swift in their condemnation of the President, as it has gained a reputation for during his term in office.
<blockquote>Facebook and Twitter on Wednesday took extraordinary action against President Trump for spreading coronavirus misinformation after his official and campaign accounts broke their rules, respectively.</blockquote>
President Trump highlighted the fact that children are resistant to the coronavirus. However, the paper and Twitter took exception to this characterization. Twitter penalized the President's campaign account for the claim.
Below is a copy of the correction:
<blockquote>Correction: Twitter penalized Team Trump, the president’s campaign account. An earlier version of this article said that Twitter penalized President Trump’s account.</blockquote>
Quite the turnaround. Unfortunately, it's the rule, not the exception.
<h3>Recent Errors by the Post</h3>
Of course this one error is not alone. The Washington Post led the liberal media charge against Nick Sandmann. The Covington high school student gained national attention for smiling at a man at the Lincoln Memorial. The Post smeared the young man, who did not threaten anyone. In fact,t here is little evidence of any error he made at all. However, the 16 year old became a national figure through no action or desire of his own.
The Washington Post (along with CNN and other outlets) made him so. Without his conent. As a result, Sandmann settled in his $250 million <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/07/24/washington-post-settles-250m-suit-with-covington-teen-nick-sandmann/">lawsuit against the paper</a>.
But the Sandmann story was just one of the many that the paper committed since Bezos took over. What about the case of the story that required an amazing <strong>15</strong> <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/washington-post-embarrassed-over-gaffe-filled-story-needing-15-corrections">corrections</a>! The story was a freelance piece that fit into the Wa Po's narrative. It included info on black families struggling to keep their land in the South. The article included errors from spelling mistakes to important characterizations of statistics and basic facts about the article's subjects.
It also underlined the lack of follow through from the paper. And the process in which the paper deicdes to print such articles without proper review.
<blockquote>“The correction is certainly thorough with regard to the article’s content. What it doesn’t answer, however, is any questions about the process this article went through and whether it was representative of how the ‘Post’ handles contributions from freelancers whose training and propensity with regard to accuracy can be difficult to judge,” Beaujon wrote before listing a series of queries about the paper’s process.</blockquote>
<h3>Other Errors Abound</h3>
Or what about the <a href="https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/washington-post-fake-news-passports-media-bias/">story claiming</a> that the Trump Admin deliberately held travel visas from people from Latin America? This story was not only incorrect, it also precipitated a huge rush of other media outlets following the Wa Po. Each one wanted in on the bash Trump train. Not only was the article misleading, it turned out that the policy the Post criticized was an Obama era one. In fact, the number of passports denied peaked in 2015 under Trump's predecessor. No matter, I guess.
Rack up the number of errors made by companies like the Washington Post and you'll see a disturbing habit. Whether it was the Covington kids. Or smears against Brett Kavanaugh. Or claiming Russian collusion. They all go one way. As the Washington Post motto goes-- "democracy dies in darkness."
The Post should take a page from their own publication.

Something rare just happened. A young person who doesn't follow the liberal orthodoxy defeated a major liberal news outlet. Two, in fact. How did these things happen following hours and hours of blistering news coverage? The case of Nicholas Sandmann and the resulting legal battle is one that scholars will be reading about and studying for decades. It might also be one that news organizations rue for even longer.
I wrote about the topic <a href="https://ehlinelaw.com/blog/sandmann-libel-wapo-left">on my legal blog</a> and discussed some of the major cases of precedent prior to this one. While the government is restricted by law and precedent from most forms of libel protection, there are important elements for the common person. This goes double for individuals who are not in the public eye.
Nicholas Sandmann was not a public official. He was not a public figure. The attention by the major media types <strong>attempted to</strong> make him into a national figure. However, he just wanted to go back to Covington high school and finish his studies. The media made this into a classic circus. This is troubling in many ways that I will discuss below. Even more important for Sandmann and for future aspirants in libel cases, there is a new precedent. One that will likely challenge the existing liberal media establishment.

<h3>A Media Circus-- but More</h3>
The events following the 2019 incident near the Lincoln Memorial was one of the most telling media environments I can remember. News organizations acted in almost lockstep to libel this young man. The overall attacks have been described by the Chicago Tribune as a "<a href="https://www.chicagotribune.com/columns/john-kass/ct-met-covington-catholic-dc-video-kass-20190122-story.html">thought crime</a>" and a "hateful leftist social media mob — shamefully egged on by prominent American journalists." Forbes also <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/evangerstmann/2019/01/24/the-level-of-violent-imagery-directed-against-covington-high-boys-is-dangerous-and-wrong/#642e7f6920bd">compiled a list</a> of attacks against the high school students-- most of whom were minors.
There is a little bit of self reflection in the media about the overall tone and excesses of the attacks, as seen in an <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/01/media-must-learn-covington-catholic-story/581035/">article in the Atlantic</a>. However, there is a strong chance that such a reflection is just passing. The overall media environment didn't learn from the attacks.
In fact, what made Sandmann's lawsuit so attractive was that it showed the the media relished in attacking the young men at the Lincoln Memorial. With the smiling Sandmann in particular. Even worse, the media ignored the violent rhetoric of the Black Israelites.
<h3>Why Sandmann's Case Stuck</h3>
So why did Sandmann receive a settlement when other libel cases usually go no where? It's a combination of factors. For starters, Sandmann didn't ask for any of this. He didn't run for office. He didn't put himself in the public eye. The young man smiled in front of an older Indian man. He was also wearing a Make America Great Again hat, which seemed to be the kicker on why so many in the media decided to launch an all out attack on him.
As court precedent showed prior, there is a different bar between those in the public eye and those who are not. Sandmann's actions made him certainly the opposite of a public official. Donald Trump can't sue the New York Times (in most cases) for what they write about him. Sandmann can sue (and win) over whether or not the Washington Post or CNN send virtual lynch mobs against him.
There is also the issue of violence. As Sandmann said prior, there was and is a real fear for his safety. He is now recognized wherever he goes, despite the fact that he wanted no role in becoming nationally known. He and his classmates simply were going to the Lincoln Memorial. Instead, he and his classmates were called white supremacists and treated as pawns in a wider political and cultural war.
All of this is unacceptable for the courts. Because the bar is much lower for non public officials, Sandmann was able to settle with both the Washington Post and CNN. That being said, there is strong evidence that Sandmann will also be able to collect against other media companies, including Twitter.
<h3>Future Cases</h3>
Sandmann hinted on Twitter that the social media giant is next. Twitter accepted the role of their verified users in slandering the young man. These "blue checks" were able to amplify their message of rejection and hate in a way they couldn't without the platform. Furthermore, the precedent of the successful case against both the Wa Post and CNN means that there is a good chance that Sandmann will result victorious here, too.
For Sandmann, he was able to win because of the preponderance of evidence on his side. Both the Wa Post and CNN understood that they were in steep financial jeopardy if the case continued. Not only did Sandmann sue for hundreds of millions of dollars, the discovery phase would have been devastating to the network and the newspaper.
If there was a full discovery phase in which Sandmann's attorneys got subpoenas for the network and paper's records, it could result in a crash in ad revenue (but maybe not eyes on the TV or on the news pages). There is a strong chance, at least implied by Sandmann's lawsuit and the result, that the network or individuals acting on its behalf, used their power to intentionally defame a young man. Since Sandmann did not plan his role in the Lincoln Memorial incident, there is an even stronger case against the network and paper.
Let other liberal media sources beware next time they want to "cancel" someone for smiling.

Accidents of all kinds are being reported every day in the news. Everyone is afraid that they or their loved ones may be involved in dangerous accidents. Since these accidents can happen unexpectedly, it's necessary to prepare for what comes after. With all the accidents occurring, the world can be a downright terrifying place according to many <a href="http://www.punditpress.com/">pundits on TV and radio</a>. While playing it safe may be an option, it is an ineffective solution. The dictionary defines accidents as unfortunate incidents that happen unexpectedly and unintentionally, resulting in injury or damage. The fundamental point here is that accidents can be unpredictable and unfortunate.<o:p></o:p><br />
You can’t habitually experience life always playing it safe. Even when you do, you can’t be sure that you won’t get involved in an accident. You can only prepare yourself to rebuild afterward. Should you get injured, you need to have someone in your corner to help and guide you on the road to recovery. If the accident happened due to someone’s negligence, then you will need this person in your corner to be able to handle legal proceedings. Here is where the need for personal injury lawyers comes in. There are many law firms out there offering such personalized services. <a href="https://www.emersonlawllc.com/personal-injury-lawyers/">Emerson Law LLC</a> is a law firm you can count on when life happens. They handle cases involving car accidents, medical malpractice, construction injuries, slip and fall, and wrongful death, to name a few.<o:p></o:p><br />
Here are some of the more common reasons why you need a personal injury lawyer in your corner.<o:p></o:p><br />
<strong>1. You won’t pay any fees if you lose your case.</strong><o:p></o:p><br />
While you will need to pay upfront for many cases when you hire a lawyer, most personal injury lawyers like Emerson Law LLC won’t charge you a dime should you lose the case. They work on a <a href="https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_education/resources/law_issues_for_consumers/lawyerfees_contingent/">contingency fees basis</a>. They get paid from the settlement should you win the case. This contingency is very good as it can be a good motivator for them to win.<o:p></o:p><br />
<strong>2. It is time-saving.</strong><o:p></o:p><br />
Going through police records and medical reports needs to be done very carefully. You cannot afford to miss anything with such cases. This research can translate to hours, even days. If you have a personal injury lawyer, they may be able to reduce the workload. Lawyers can also be able to speak to other professionals like the police and have an easier time accessing required legal documentation.<o:p></o:p><br />
<strong>3. Objectivity is a requirement.</strong><o:p></o:p><br />
For you to get compensated, objectivity and focus is a requirement. Injuries acquired from accidents can leave an angry and frustrated person. Your focus on what is required to be done will determine your chances of getting compensated. You, therefore, need someone who can remain calm and collected while making the right decisions for your benefit. This person can be a personal injury attorney.<o:p></o:p><br />
<strong>4. Experience Counts.</strong><o:p></o:p><br />
Filing for a claim, especially if the case involves terrorism, can be quite complicated. For this reason, you need a lawyer to balance the scales of justice. Justice for all is something even Dr. Martin Luther King believed in. A lawyer's experience and knowledge in such a case can be pretty handy. Sometimes you need someone who knows and understands the tactics used by insurance companies to get justice.<o:p></o:p><br />
<strong>5. You can expect the settlement to be higher.</strong><o:p></o:p><br />
Over the years, people who have hired lawyers have gotten a much higher settlement as compared to those who didn’t. Even when the lawyer fees are factored in, those with lawyers still received substantial compensation. Personal injury attorneys are better able to communicate with insurance adjusters and other professionals involved, to get you the best deals.<o:p></o:p><br />
<strong>6. A lawyer can go to trial.</strong><o:p></o:p><br />
According to Black's Law Dictionary, four to five percent of all personal injury cases in the United States are settled inside a courtroom. While it is well within your rights to represent yourself, it may be wise to have a personal injury attorney representing you. He will be much more capable of handling opposing lawyers as well as speaking to a jury when there is need.<o:p></o:p><br />
<strong>7. It is not a sign of weakness.</strong><o:p></o:p><br />
It is unfair that sometimes loved ones are injured or lost through accidents. However, when this happens, you need professional advice in figuring out the way forward. Help in terms of a personal injury lawyer can make all the difference. They can help you cope with rebuilding your life. It shows lots of strength trusting such professionals.<o:p></o:p><br />
