Podcast appearances and mentions of Diane Black

Breaking the Silence with host Dr. Gregory Williams With Guest, Licensed Professional Counselor, Psychotherapist, Author, Diane Black This week's Special Guest will be Diane Black. Diane is a licensed professional counselor, and an advocate for child tights. She is the author of the book, "Dead Dig Road: The True Story into the Dark World of an Abused Child." Don't miss out on this impactful and informative program! Join us September 22nd at 8pm CST. About Diane Black: Diane Black is a licensed professional counselor who has always had a heart for children. She was drawn into child advocacy when she visited a residential treatment facility and saw first-hand the inadequate level of care the children received and the deplorable conditions. Over the years, she testified for dozens of abused children within the court system, and treated hundreds of children who had experienced trauma during her time in private practice. Her formal education includes an undergraduate degree in social work and a master's in education, with a specialty in counseling and development. Diane visited the Russian Embassy where she had the privilege of discussing the issues of international adoption with high-ranking diplomats. She was later interviewed extensively by the Russian media. In the United States, she was interviewed by the Voice of Russia radio station in New York. Diane began studying the craft of writing when life put her into a story she felt needed to be told.

In 2003, an East Texas couple adopted three young Russian children. Over the years, there were countless red flags for child abuse, especially against the oldest child, Alexey, who began running away when he was 12. He ended up on the doorstep of the Roosevelt House, an emergency shelter, assessment center, and residential care facility for children removed from abusive situations, usually by CPS. The home's founder, Diane Black, had no idea that her battle to save Alexey and his sisters, Anastasia and Svetlana, would upend life as she knew it.Diane detailed the story of Alexey, his sisters, the Roosevelt House, and the egregious systemic failure of the Texas child protection system in a book called Dead Dog Road: A True Story Into the Dark World of an Abused Child. In this episode, you'll hear my recent conversation with Diane about the appalling ways CPS and law enforcement failed Alexey, Anastasia, and Svetlana, and much more.This is Episode 176: Dead Dog Road.Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/STLCpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com. By supporting me on Patreon, you'll also access rewards, including a shout-out by name on the podcast and exclusive rewards.

A medical crisis 10 years ago prompted Darlene's search for solutions. Her late night google search brought her to  Nutritional Interventions for Children with FASD, by Diane Black, PhD.( http://come-over.to/FAS/FASDnutrition.htm )  In response Darlene radically  changed her family's diet and was astounded by the results. Ten years on, Darlene's family still hold fast to their allergen free diet for the health and wellbeing of the whole family. WARNING: THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE.

On this special Bonus Saturday Episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, Charlie and Producer Andrew are joined yet again by two great friends of the show, Congressman Diane Black and her husband, Dave from 'Second Vote' to talk about the ongoing fight against the "Woke" Corporate Regime in America.

They also go through the cultural marxist warfare ramping up this Christmas Season, with BLM and their corporate cronies calling on Americans to reject White-Owned businesses when they do their holiday shopping.    Learn more about the incredibly crucial work being done by the team at Second Vote and do your part to fight back against Woke Corporations by going to SecondVote.com and use promo code 'CHARLIE' for a special discount on your subscription to their incredible service.

Charlie and Producer Andrew sit down with Rep. Diane Black and Dr. David Black from 2nd Vote to discuss the latest "corporate villain" news that seems to get worse and worse by the day. How did Facebook become so ‘Meta?' Do they actually have a so-called ‘Conservative Bias' or is it all a smokescreen for tech censorship? Is Facebook dealing honestly with its consumers—who also happen to be Facebook's products? It doesn't seem to be the case. The Blacks give their rationale for why Facebook is rated so poorly on Second Vote and rightfully so. They all also walk through the latest corporate fallout from the Biden Regime's vaccine mandate—from Southwest to In N Out to Talk Radio, you'll learn about what it means to put your money where your values are and why a conservative “boycott” of these corporate pharma-henchmen may be our only option.

What has happened to the Democratic Party in America? Twenty-Twenty has started with Democrats lamenting the death of an Iranian terrorist, Major General Qasem Soleimani, who was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans and had active plans to kill even more. Rather than celebrating with commonsense Americans who understand and appreciate President Trump’s desire to keep us safe, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is seeking to tie the President’s hands. Joining us today is someone who knows a great deal about America and has watched history unfold from a front row seat. My guest is Dave Black, the founder of Aegis Science Corporation (now retired), husband of former House Budget Chair Diane Black, and the founder of 2nd Vote. 2nd Vote is a conservative watchdog organization for corporate America. It scores companies and gives consumers an opportunity to support companies that share their values.  For Further Insight: Website:  2nd Vote, https://www.2ndvote.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/2ndVote Facebook: https://www.2ndvote.com/facebook/ BOOK: Unstoppable: The Inspiring Story of how Diane Black rose from public housing and turned her meager beginnings into stalwart leadership Paperback – May 15, 2018

Chick-Fil-A, a formerly conservative Christian corporation, has capitulated to pressures from LGBTQ activists who targeted the company because of the Cathy family were big supporters of traditionally Christian charities who hold a biblical worldview on homosexuality.

Joining me today to make sense of their decision is David Black, the founder of 2nd vote. Dr. David Black, a scientist, successful entrepreneur, and husband of former U.S. Representative Diane Black, has created an organization named 2nd vote. 2nd vote provides tools that inform and educate us about how corporation spend our money and how we can hold them accountable.

On this episode of Case In Point, Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law, talks about the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act or EMTALA. EMTALA was enacted in 1986 and made it illegal for emergency departments to refuse to treat a patient because of their perceived inability to pay. The EMTALA act makes emergency departments evaluate and stabilize any patient that comes through the door.   Before EMTALA was enacted many emergency rooms utilized a practice called “dumping” or “patient dumping” where they would turn a patient away at the door even though that person might be in critical condition. Patients would sometimes have to travel over 20 miles to another hospital to try and get treatment. This practice was especially common for women in labor, thus the name Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act.   Today, Diane Black, a congress-woman from Tennessee is trying to remove EMTALA and let hospitals choose who they treat. Diane Black is a former Emergency Room nurse and is now running for the governor of Tennessee.   As history has shown us, when hospitals can choose who they treat and who they turn away, people who truly need care get left behind. EMTALA was not made to make emergency room workers jobs harder, it was enacted to protect patients.   Listen in and if you would like more information you can visit our website Freiwaldlaw.com and read a blog post Aaron wrote about EMTALA: https://www.freiwaldlaw.com/news-item/emtala   As always, let us know what you think!   Intro Music: 5 Cents Back by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Artist: http://audionautix.com/
