Ponca City Carbon Black:
The mystery isn't with the source. The mystery is why the state insists there's no problems.
As a lifelong resident, we've known about it for years. The first court settlement from years ago was a dead giveaway. They bought themselves out of being shut down. They bought properties around the plant. Chased family's away from their homes. And then they ignored everyone else. The EPA forced them to make changes to all of their plants across the country. One had to shut down because they couldn't make those changes.
The other .... Stayed open.
Fast forward to 2026, and it's back. This time with Taiwan owners. It's everywhere. Walk into any building in Ponca and look at the floors....the sidewalks .. the sides of buildings....roofs....your dog's feet .... It's everywhere.
Our state DEQ received complaints and didn't investigate it quick enough, and their reply: we don't see it happening.
Well no kidding. When you wait a week to make a visit...
So, what did they do? They installed air monitors all over Ponca. Not just by city hall....down by the south side of town....and where I am, about 1/2 mile north of their plant. Guess what they measure? PPM of the air. Not type... Not makeup...just the PPM.
They had no proof there was an issue.
Last week we made the proof. We recorded it from work.
Now what will be their excuse? DEQ is failing around here and it doesn't seem like anyone cares except the residents of Ponca.
Here are the 3 videos we made. All on a Sunday afternoon...when DEQ wouldn't even be open.
Where's that black soot going?
Right where the wind takes it.
They need to pay to clean this entire town up... Or they need to leave.
YALL WANNA SEE SOMETHING SUPER SCARY?
This is the current SPR chart, as of May 22, 2026.
We currently have about 365.1 million barrels of oil in reserve.
Just since March 1, we've already used about 50.3 million barrels, and we are not refreshing it. Just sending it out...
At this rate, come August 23, 2026, we will be down to about 243 million barrels, and by Jan 2027, we will hit the National Defense critical zone of about 55 million. What that means is that the DoD uses about 85 million per year under peace time activities and it shoots up to 145/year during wartime activities. Below 150 million and the SPR cannot sustain military activities AND be released to the public.
We are currently releasing about 1.4 million of our reserves a day to help with fuel costs.
We are literally running out of oil.
If nothing changes between now and January 2027, time is up. The world as we know it will change, immediately.
And we won't like it.
🚫 CLAIM: Iran is now claiming it has targeted a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Gulf of Oman.
✅ TRUTH: Iran is lying. U.S. military assets at sea continue to fly, sail, and operate safely and unimpeded.
IRGC spokesman: The IRGC Air Force did not fire any shots at this target, and the destruction of the Kuwait airport passenger terminal was caused by the error of the American Patriot systems, which landed on this terminal after failing to intercept Iranian missiles.
Fars News.
🚫CLAIM: Iran claimed today that it did not attack the passenger terminal at Kuwait International Airport and damage was instead caused by a U.S. missile interceptor. Totally FALSE.
✅TRUTH: Iran struck the civilian airport with drones in a deliberate, calculated, and unjustified attack.
An American man went to fuel his truck, which had run reliably and without issue for 15 years, for the first time with the new E15 gas, and it immediately stopped working.
“I’ve had this truck for 15 years. The first time I put E15 in it, now it won’t start.”
Legendary former Alabama football coach Nick Saban issues a stark warning on the devastating trajectory of college sports under current NIL rules.
"It's become an arms race, who spends the most has got the best chance to win.”
“But I think it's a race to the bottom because if you don't spend to win, you lose your fan base and you don't have any revenue."
