Abstract: A 3-manifold is foliar if it supports a codimension-one co-oriented taut foliation. Suppose $M$ is an oriented 3-manifold with connected boundary a torus, and suppose $M$ contains a properly embedded, compact, oriented, surface $R$ with a single boundary component that is Thurston norm minimizing in $H_2(M,partialM)$. We define a readily recognizable type of sutured manifold decomposition, which for notational reasons we call double-diamond taut, and show that if $R$ admits a double-diamond taut sutured manifold decomposition, then every boundary slope except one is strongly realized by a co-oriented taut foliation; that is, the foliation intersects $partialM$ transversely in a foliation by curves of that slope. In the case that $M$ is the complement of a knot $kappa$ in $S^3$, the exceptional filling is the meridional one, and hence $kappa$ is persistently foliar, by which we mean that every non-trivial slope is strongly realized; hence, restricting attention to rational slopes, every manifold obtained by non-trivial Dehn surgery along $kappa$ is foliar. In particular, if $R$ is a Murasugi sum of surfaces $R_1$ and $R_2$, where $R_2$ is an unknotted band with an even number $2mge4$ of half-twists, then $kappa=partialR$ is persistently foliar.
