Summary

This week's guest is feminist-topical singer/songwriter Kristin Lems, who will perform one of her classic songs and a new song about Trump ("Like a Duck"). Tune in to learn more about a surprising First Amendment violation halted speedily in Illinois by FFRF constitutional attorney Ryan Jayne. The show includes a first-hand report on the International Conference on Sharia, Segregation & Secularism, a comment about Einstein's "ungodly" auctioned letter, and a recap of FFRF's irreverent Winter Solstice displays countering Christian nativity scenes in public forums around the U.S. Outro music includes a selection of songs with lyrics written by the thoroughly secular Ira Gershwin, in honor of his Dec. 6 birthday.
