Discover the key details of what the Texas Alliance is about, how the upcoming elections will impact oil and gas, andhow the Biden administration has had a target on the US domestic oil and gas exploration production industry.

A topic of contention here in the US, and particularly here in Texas is Abortion In 2022 Roe Vs Wade was overturned making abortion illegal again... Joining Kieran to discuss the change since and the topic of abortion is Communications Director for Texas Alliance for Life, Amy O'Donnell.

Dr. Can (John) Saygin says when he gets together with UT-Rio Grande Valley President Guy Bailey, the discussions are often about ways the university can create visible societal impact.   Dr. Saygin is senior vice president for research and dean of the graduate college at UTRGV. “So, any any topic I bring up with him, we always get to the point and say, when are we going to see this impact in the community?” Saygin said, in an exclusive interview with the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service. Saygin said he had visible societal impact on his mind when he recently met with the South Texas Alliance of Cities. “Meeting with the mayors, it's almost like starting with the end in mind. You can paint the picture with them and say, if we have the land, if we have this, if we have the economic development corporation working with us, we could build this infrastructure,” Saygin said. “And then, when you go backwards, and you put in the layers of technology, people, and workforce development training. Then the whole formula looks very exciting.” The South Texas Alliance of Cities comprises mayors from most of the big cities in the Valley, plus those from San Antonio and Laredo. The group met recently at UTRGV's School of Medicine and invited Dr. Saygin to make a presentation. Saygin said he took the opportunity to tell the mayors about UTRGV's plans to become a leading research university. “When I think about the research topics from genome research to cancer research, smart technologies for safer railways, sustainable agriculture, mental health initiatives, clinical research, well, these are pretty high-level research topics and UTRGV is there,” Saygin said. "I tell everybody, we have R1 faculty, just the institution needs to reach the status of R1. So, explaining this to the mayors, they were very excited.” Saygin lived in San Antonio for 16 years when he worked for UT-San Antonio. He therefore knows San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg quite well. “So, we talked about UTSA's success story how it changed the city. But the formula is a little bit different for South Texas. It's not just the verbal partnership, yeah, let's go ahead and do it with mayors, school districts, economic development corporations. We can go after big, large brands, and actually put words into actions and that's what I told them. And, actually, it was very timely because we are going after an Environmental Protection Agency grant proposal.” Saygin said the EPA grant would involve technology and have an impact on the community. “In order to make that impact, we need 100 percent the mayors' buy-in. They have to support it. If they don't support it, our research is going to come to a dead end. So, they are true partners for us.” Saygin said his presentation was well received by the mayors. “We talked about what's next, what can we do. So, I pretty much talked about reaching out to their offices for letters of support. But not just letters of support, letters of commitment, which is the highest level of partnership,” Saygin said. “And then we talked about involving the economic development corporations into our workforce development programs. They're already part of it but we need more expanded coverage when we do these things. So, they were very excited.”  Here is the full interview with Dr. Saygin.To read the new stories and watch the news videos of the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service go to www.riograndeguardian.com.

on't look now, but oil prices are surging again, and experts fear it's about to get worse. The price of crude oil reached over $93 a barrel in recent days, the highest of the year and up more than 34% since March. This as the Biden administration just released a new offshore leasing plan with the fewest leases in history, just three in the Gulf of Mexico. At the same time, the administration has depleted our Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to a 40-year low, with surging oil prices making it more difficult to replenish. With all of these factors at play, some oil industry leaders are predicting the price of crude will soon pass $100 a barrel and could reach $150. Karr Ingham, petroleum economist with the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, agrees that is a possibility. "Right now, global demand is soaring because of growth, and meeting that growth largely means petroleum energy, as that still powers 80 percent-plus of what goes on in the world today," he says. "If you have growing demand, but not an appetite for increasing production to meet that demand, that's just a recipe for higher prices."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In another 20 to 30 cases the foetal anomaly does not meet the criteria under the legislation and the women involved travel abroad for a termination. - Plan B gets new label by FDA to clarify it doesn't cause abortion - After more than two decades on the market, the emergency contraception drug Plan B One-Step will get a new label by federal regulators to make clear that the pills work by preventing ovulation and do not cause an abortion or impact implantation of a fertilized egg, the Food and Drug Administration announced Friday. - "Plan B One-Step will not work if a person is already pregnant, meaning it will not affect an existing pregnancy," the FDA now states in an update online. "Plan B One-Step prevents pregnancy by acting on ovulation, which occurs well before implantation. Evidence does not support that the drug affects implantation or maintenance of a pregnancy after implantation, therefore it does not terminate a pregnancy." 2nd Hour Guest Seg. - Rand Paul's Annual ‘Festivus' Report: $482,276,543,907 in Government Waste $2.3 million used by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for an experiment involving injecting puppies with cocaine $3 million for the construction of a Gandhi museum Department of Defense (DOD) spent roughly $28 million on forest Joe Social Media IG: @TheCatholicHack Twitter: @Catholic_Hack Facebook: Joe McClane YouTube: Joe McClane Rudy Social Media IG: @ydursolrac Youtube: Glad Trad Podcast Adrian Social Media IG: @ffonze Twitter: @AdrianFonze Facebook: Adrian Fonseca YouTube: Adrian Fonseca YouTube: Catholic Conversations Visit our website to learn more about us, find a local GRN radio station, a schedule of our programming and so much more. http://grnonline.com/

AUSTIN, Texas - Border community activists testified against Operation Lone Star at a hearing of the Senate Committee on Border Security at the state capitol in Austin.Operation Lone Star is Gov. Greg Abbott's $4 billion border enforcement initiative that targets undocumented migrants for arrest, jail, and deportation. It has been in the national news because Abbott ordered state laws enforcement agencies to bus some of the undocumented immigrants they capture to other states in the nation. OLS has also come under scrutiny for the money it has burned through. Some estimates say the initiative is costing $2.5 million per week, with funding being moved to the operation from other state agencies. Legislators such as state Sen. Juan Hinojosa of McAllen have questioned its sustainability.Among the border and immigrant rights groups to testify at the Senate Committee on Border Security hearing were La Unión Del Pueblo Entero, the Border Network for Human Rights, and Reform Immigration for Texas Alliance. They argue Operation Lone Star is unconstitutional because border security is a responsibility of the federal government. They say the operation has been designed to criminalize and rapidly deport migrants, many of whom are seeking safety in the U.S. In their testimony, the border community activists said OLS promotes racial profiling, fuels the mass incarceration of people of color, and encourages white supremacy rhetoric. They argue the money given to OLS would be better spent on street lights, healthcare, and workforce training.The border advocates called on members of the committee to visit the border and see how colonia residents live in fear. They also want to be invited to speak at future border security and immigration hearings as a recognized panel, just like ranchers and farmers were at a hearing in Eagle Pass. Instead, the advocates had to sign up to testify in the public comment period and were limited to three minutes of oral testimony.Here is some of their testimony.To read the new stories and watch the news videos of the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service go to www.riograndeguardian.com.

Episode 8 - Talking Energy Show - Mike Cantrell - Author | Speaker | Oil and Energy Consultant | Owner of Pivotal Strategic Solutions Pivotal Strategic Solutions(405) 206-4444 mike@mikecantrell.net Government affairs consultantRegulatory compliance consultantPublic affairs consultantStrategy consultant Mike is an entrepreneur / consultant with demonstrated history of accomplishment in the oil & energy industry as well as the Political and Public Affairs space. Skilled in coalition building, solving difficult problems, and building oil and gas companies, Mike is a strong entrepreneurial professional with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) focused in Psychology from East Central University. A 40 year industry veteran, Mike sees the oil and gas industry, at least in the conventional vertical well space, as offering the greatest return on investment in the American economy. Michael (Mike) Cantrell was born and raised in Oklahoma, where his family has strong ties to the oilfield. Cantrell's grandfather was a driller in the 1920's, eventually starting his own business in the 1950's, which Cantrell's father joined a few years later. In 1968, his father shifted into the production side of the business, where Cantrell gained hands-on experience in the field, accompanying his father in business from an early age. Cantrell attended East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma and graduated in 1972 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. While Cantrell was, and still is, keenly interested in psychology, he wanted a career in which he could work for himself and decided to continue on the family legacy in the petroleum industry. In 1975, Cantrell started Oklahoma Basic Economy Corporation, an Ada, Oklahoma based oil and gas exploration and production company specializing in enhancing production in more mature formations, serving as President until 2000. That year, Cantrell sold Oklahoma Basic Economy Corporation and a few months later, founded Cantrell Investments LLC, an oil and gas investment company, with assets primarily in Oklahoma., Texas and Kansas. Around that time, Cantrell decided to leave his longtime home in Oklahoma and relocated to Plano, Texas, just outside Dallas. A few short years later, in 2006, he moved back to Oklahoma. In 2009, Cantrell accepted a consulting position with Continental Resources, where he was an integral part of building the company's Government Relations Division, eventually serving as Vice President of Governmental and Regulatory Affairs. While at Continental, Cantrell maintained his oil and gas interests and upon leaving the company in March 2013, shifted his focus back to Cantrell Investments. As a longtime veteran, Cantrell notes that this industry is "an exciting place to work," crediting his dedicated employees - many of whom have been with him for years, if not decades - for their team's overall success. He also points out that it is an added benefit to have assets performing for you, and in turn generating profit, even while you sleep! Even though he has no shortage to choose from, Cantrell easily considers his greatest accomplishment to be raising two motivated children - both successful in their chosen fields - who he claims are even smarter than their dad. In fact, both his children have taken a page from their father's book in some way - his daughter is a political consultant and his son a fourth generation oilman. And though each have their own, independent companies, Cantrell has also worked closely over the years on joint ventures and projects with both his father and brother. In his free time, you will most likely find Cantrell on his Harley Davidson, whether he's traveling to the corners of the United States or just taking a quick ride. Cantrell is also very active in industry organizations, and serves on the Board of Directors of: Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association, The Domestic Energy Producers Alliance, The Council for a Secure America, Citizens Bank of Ada, and is the Vice Chairman of Oklahomans for Lawsuit Reform. Additionally, Cantrell is the Chairman of the National Stripper Well Association, and is a longtime member of the Board of Directors for the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers. Cantrell adds that he has sincerely enjoyed working with the Alliance, saying, "I have never felt as effective in Washington D.C. as I did when accompanying Alliance leadership" to the U.S. Capitol earlier this year.
