22:13

Welcome back!!! I have a brand new episode of Civil Diligence! In this episode, I discuss the taboo topic that everyone tends to shy away from but has an opinion about it: Abortion!!! With all the back and forth about abortion, I decided to bring the topic on the show. As more state laws become stricter in modern day society, the fight to keep an American right is alive and kicking! I talk about the various state laws that have passed strict restrictions on abortion, the Court’s plan to hear abortion, and, of course, I sprinkle some discussion about a women’s choice to choose.

31:24

Welcome back!!! I have a brand new episode of Civil Diligence! In this episode, I talk about the report that has almost everyone in Washington spooked, the Mueller Report. After two years, we have been waiting and waiting for this thing to come out and it finally did. Since the investigation’s conception, we’ve all been awaiting for Robert Mueller to answer whether Vlad Putin is indeed our president. We may have gotten that answer, but there are other things that are making people give a side eye (and calling for impeachment still). I discuss all of those things in this episode as well as give a break down on how we ended up here sort of speak. Be in the kingdom with me as we have the conversation about this saga. Listen, converse, and enjoy!…

Happy Holidays!!! Civil Diligence is back with a new episode! Apparently, I had a lot that I was here for and wanted to talk about what I enjoyed about these last few weeks.
