A WORLD GONE MAD

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW Episode 200 matters, not because it’s a celebration, but because it exists at all. Most podcasts never make it this far. They stop when the audience is small, when the work outweighs the reward, when life gets complicated and silence becomes easier. This episode exists because I didn’t stop. I kept going through frustration, isolation, and long stretches where quitting w...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW In this episode, I’m talking about Crazy Donald Trump and a moment that feels unstable in ways we can no longer pretend are normal. From the movement of U.S. warships toward Iran to the language coming directly out of Trump’s mouth, the contradictions are piling up fast. What he says publicly does not line up with the risks being created, and that gap is starting to matt...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW Democracy isn’t an abstract idea anymore. It’s being tested in real time, day by day, hour by hour, while too many people stay silent, distracted, or disengaged. In this episode, I speak openly and bluntly about what’s happening in this country, the nonstop chaos coming from Donald Trump, and the growing danger of treating all of this as normal background noise instead o...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW A lot of people are feeling off balance right now. Not because of one thing, but because everything feels louder, sharper, and less stable than it used to. This episode opens by acknowledging that moment and the need to stay grounded before diving in. From there the focus shifts where it belongs. The news. The decisions being made. And the consequences that follow when r...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW This episode opens with a simple demand that keeps getting avoided when power uses lethal force. Tell the truth. Not the press release version. Not the after the fact justification.  The truth that comes from reports, witness calls, and what actually happened in the moments that mattered. The Renee Good shooting is examined through that lens. What was claimed versus what...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW In this episode of A World Gone Mad, I’m talking about what happens when accountability starts to quietly slip away and the public is told to accept official answers without real scrutiny.  Recent developments suggest that something fundamental’s shifting, and not in a reassuring direction. I begin with the shooting in Minnesota, where Renée Nicole Good was killed during...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW This episode looks at what it means when the United States moves fast to seize oil abroad while freezing child care funding at home. The focus isn’t on policy debates or legal fine print. It’s on how power gets exercised quickly for resources and slowly, if at all, for people. Donald Trump’s role in these decisions is front and center, along with the broader pattern of a...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW America crosses a line that was never supposed to be crossed. The United States seizes control over another country and treats it like an asset instead of a sovereign nation.  This is not theory or symbolism. This is power exercised without restraint and without explanation. When a democracy stops feeling the need to justify itself, something fundamental has already shif...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW This isn’t a recap. It’s a reckoning.  As 2025 closes, this episode takes a clear look at what actually happened and why it felt different from just another rough year. This wasn’t chaos or confusion or bad luck. It was a pattern. Power exercised openly. Norms pushed until they bent. Damage done in plain sight while people were told it was normal. There were no dramatic...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW This episode talks about two important stories happening right now. One centers on housing and promises that are being sold as reform. The other revolves around documents that keep surfacing at the most convenient moments. Together they reveal a system that survives by delaying accountability. I break down what’s being claimed about housing affordability and what’s quiet...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW This is not the usual Wednesday WTF episode. With Christmas Eve and Christmas Day landing right in the middle of the week, this episode takes a different approach.  It is about showing up, staying consistent, and acknowledging the moment without pretending the world suddenly stopped being complicated. As the holidays arrive, the pressure people are feeling has not gone a...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW In this episode I focus on a major decision involving offshore wind projects already under construction along the East Coast and why the sudden halt has set off alarm bells well beyond the energy world.  These were not future proposals but active projects with money workers and infrastructure already in place. I look at what this move means for jobs regional power demand...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW In this episode of A World Gone Mad , I cover three separate developments that together paint a disturbing picture of where power, accountability, and public institutions are heading. I begin with the Kennedy Center. A national cultural institution created as a memorial to President John F Kennedy has become the focus of a sudden and controversial shift. What’s happening...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW On this WTF Wednesday episode of A World Gone Mad, I take a hard look at a decision in Congress that is about to hit millions of people where it hurts most. This is not an accident and it is not bad timing.  Washington knew this healthcare deadline was coming and leadership chose to let it happen anyway. When premiums rise and coverage becomes harder to afford, that outc...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW In this Monday Fallout, I talk about a violent double murder that should have stopped this country in its tracks. Two people were killed in their own home, and no matter who they were or what they believed, this is the kind of moment where basic humanity should take over. I focus on the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle Reiner, not as public names or voices of a...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW This episode takes a closer look at several political and policy decisions that are drawing attention across Washington and beyond. It begins with the FDA, and a warning so serious from them that it has sparked concern, confusion, and debate inside government and among professionals who follow federal health oversight closely. The discussion then moves to Congress and th...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW This WTF Wednesday isn’t just a rant. It’s a full autopsy on why basic competence has collapsed in America.  I’m talking about the simplest tasks. Calling a pharmacy. Scheduling a doctor. Upgrading a phone. Everything that should take minutes now takes hours. And for millions of us, it feels like the entire country forgot how to function. Everywhere you turn there’s anot...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW The Supreme Court just sent one of the clearest signals yet about how far it may be willing to expand presidential power. The tone of today’s arguments should alarm anyone who still believes in real checks and balances. Independent agencies that were designed to stand outside political pressure suddenly find themselves on the edge of a major shift. The implications reach...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW The week ends with a stack of headlines you almost have to read twice to believe. The Supreme Court has stepped directly into a constitutional fight that could reshape the country and the political world is holding its breath. I break down what it means and why the timing is no accident. Then I take you inside the latest chapter of the Epstein investigation. Congress for...

The shock hits instantly and the implications for American justice are impossible to ignore.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW James Comey and Letitia James get pulled straight back into the national spotlight as the courts make a ruling on the indictments brought against them, raising serious questions about how their cases were launched and who was put in the driver’s seat.  The choices behind those decisions say a lot about the motives powering the legal chaos. That chaos circles right back t...

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOW Something big was supposed to happen this week. Leaders promised it. Headlines pushed it. Supporters waited for the moment the truth would finally drop.  Instead the country watched the entire build up collapse into silence and excuses. The episode opens with a look at the distance between what powerful people say and what they actually deliver. Cameras roll. Statements...
