I suppose it was only a matter of time before anti-abortion forces mobilized efforts to overturn Roe v. Wade after the Supreme Court was stacked somewhat illegally by Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell with judges who are sympathetic to anti-woman causes. During this past legislative season several states have passed bills restricting abortions almost to […]

In recent weeks, the environment has, as they say, won some and lost some. Joining Steve and Lew in studio will be Chris Bales from the Manatee-Sarasota Sierra Club and Sammi Leigh Scott, vice president of the Preserve Payne Park, to explain why the decision by the City Commission to deny a request to build […]

There has been something fishy going on in Washington for sometime now and apparently the House just can’t seem to catch the fish or at least locate the smell. Attorney General William Barr, acting more like the personal attorney for the president that the top law enforcement officer of the country, has refused to comply […]

The legislature was busy passing a number of bills affecting public education this year, but none gained more attention and should cause more consternation among believers in our Constitution than the expansion of the voucher program in the state. If left as is and not challenged by the courts, the state will use taxpayer dollars […]

Appropriate for the fund-drive show, Steve and Lew will be joined by one of the show’s favorite guests and one who perhaps exemplifies this show’s and the station’s dedication to truth and justice as the American way.

In addition to advocating for a large and beautiful wall to stop these unfortunate people seeking asylum, the President in all his […]

Late last month, a White House employee blew the whistle on the Trump administration’s decision to override the judgment of the intelligence community on the security fitness of nearly 30 White House staffers including Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner. According to whistleblower Tricia Newbold, these folk were not denied security clearance for some borderline flaws in […]

Needless to say, the day after election day in 2016 will live in infamy for many of us (actually more than half of the country). There has been a lot of speculation about how it happened. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is not satisfied with speculation or hand-wringing about dirty deeds and other forms of […]

This year’s session of the Florida legislature is heating up faster than the rapidly warming climate. Joining Steve and Lew is Rep. Anna Eskamani (D-47) (above) who represents the Orlando area, to talk about a bill she proposed that would direct the Office of Energy to create a plan to generate all of Florida’s energy […]
