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 and electricity costs and why states that were counting on these projects now face serious uncertainty.

The explanation offered by the Trump administration raises questions that deserve closer attention.

I also turn to the Justice Department’s release of Epstein related files and why the response has been anything but settled. After months of anticipation the release has intensified scrutiny instead of quieting it.

The issue is not just what was made public but how it was handled. Shifting redactions missing context and confusion around released materials have angered lawmakers survivors and legal observers across party lines.

I talk about why these reactions matter and what they suggest about unresolved accountability and trust in institutions that claim transparency while controlling what the public is allowed to see.

When decisions like these are made and explained this way, the effects do not end with a press cycle. They carry forward into jobs, energy costs, legal accountability, and whether the public believes the system is working for them or protecting itself.

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 raises serious questions about ownership, legacy, and whether anything public is still treated as untouchable.

I then turn to the U.S. military, where legal guidance and chain-of-command expectations are colliding in a way that deserves public attention. The language being used sounds calm and procedural, but the implications reach deep into how unlawful orders are handled and who bears responsibility when lines are crossed.

This isn’t about theory or hypotheticals. It’s about how silence can be encouraged without ever being formally ordered, and what that means inside institutions built on accountability.

I also address a recent televised address to the nation delivered by the president. The speech was framed as significant, and I walk through why its structure, delivery, and internal contradictions matter in ways that go beyond ordinary political disagreement.

These stories are not identical, but they connect. Each one involves authority, pressure, and the reshaping of norms that once felt fixed.

This episode doesn’t offer comfort or easy conclusions. It asks what we are being trained to accept, and what happens if we stop questioning it.

This is A World Gone Mad.

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 outcome will be the result of a deliberate choice.

I walk through a House fight over ACA healthcare relief that should have been straightforward and was anything but.

This is not about party slogans or cable news noise. It is about who controls the process and what happens when leadership refuses to let the system do what it is supposed to do. A vote matters, and when votes are blocked, accountability disappears with them.

What makes this moment impossible to ignore is who pushed back and how far things escalated. Quiet negotiations happened. Warnings were issued. Even unlikely voices inside Congress said this was going too far.

When those efforts failed, lines were crossed that almost never get crossed, and that tells you everything about how boxed in some lawmakers have become.

This episode is really about power and how it is being used. This is not gridlock and it is not confusion. It is leadership deciding that protecting control matters more than protecting people.

When the process itself is shut down, regular Americans are the ones left absorbing the consequences while Washington pretends it is all normal.

In the second half of the show, I turn to a closed door Judiciary confrontation involving Jack Smith. This is not about transparency or routine oversight. It is about pressure, intimidation, and the signal being sent to anyone who might consider enforcing the law against powerful figures.

I explain why this moment matters far beyond one hearing room and why it should concern anyone who still believes the rule of law is supposed to apply evenly.

What ties both stories together is the same sickness running through the system. Accountability is treated like a threat and loyalty is treated like a requirement.

When enforcing the law becomes dangerous and preventing harm becomes optional, something fundamental is broken.

This is A World Gone Mad. I say the things others will not because the truth does not need permission, and the consequences of silence are already landing on the people who can least afford them.

The holidays are rapidly approaching.

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 advocacy, but as a writer and director and his creative partner whose lives ended in brutality.

I talk about who they were, why their work mattered, and why violence like this should never be turned into noise, entertainment, or ammunition.

As the investigation moves forward and facts continue to emerge, I look at how people across the country reacted, from celebrities to politicians to people who knew the Reiners personally.

Some showed compassion. Some showed restraint. In moments like this, what people say matters more than they realize.

Then I get into Donald Trump’s response, and why I believe it crossed a moral line no leader should ever cross. What should have been a moment for empathy instead became something darker.

I explain why Trump’s response matters and what it reveals about leadership and accountability in this country right now.

By the end of this episode, I lay out why this tragedy matters beyond one crime or one reaction.

This is about decency, responsibility, and what happens when cruelty replaces humanity at the exact moment it’s needed most. That’s your Monday Fallout.

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 the ongoing fight over healthcare, including negotiations and positioning that could have real consequences for coverage and affordability.

The episode also explores a proposal involving Donald Trump and U.S. currency, and what decisions like this reveal about priorities and influence inside government.

Is this economics or ego?

The Friday edition concludes with News From the Edge of Sanity and a bizarre real world crime story that adds a dose of absurdity to an otherwise serious news cycle.

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 another problem waiting for you. You try to check a prescription and the system’s down. You try to reach a human being and the phone tree traps you in circles. You show up for an appointment and they say it was canceled but can’t tell you why.

Even the places that used to run like clockwork are now tripping over their own shoelaces.

And it’s not just one industry. It’s healthcare. It’s banking. It’s retail. It’s technology that keeps failing at the exact moment you need it most.

You stand in lines that don’t move. You get messages that contradict the last message you got. You try to solve one simple problem and end up trapped in a maze where nobody knows anything and nobody can help you.

This episode digs into how incompetence has become the new national default. You see it everywhere. Fast food. Airlines. Doctors offices. Apps that ask you to do the work the company used to do.

We’re now living in a country where helping yourself is the only way to get help.

A culture of incompetence doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It spreads. It’s taught. It’s absorbed. People are overwhelmed and undertrained. Systems are overloaded.

The smallest problem becomes a chain reaction because no one has the tools or the bandwidth to get anything right the first time anymore.

This episode digs into that connection. How millions of people were taught that effort’s optional. How compassion’s weakness. And how that mindset’s helped collapse basic service and basic responsibility across the country.

If you’ve ever wondered why everything feels harder, slower, more chaotic, and more broken than it used to be, this episode’s for you.

It’s raw. It’s honest. It’s every frustration you’ve swallowed this year finally being said out loud.

And it all leads to one question. How do we fix a country where competence left the building and has no plans to return?

This is your Wednesday WTF episode.

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 far beyond one presidency and straight into the structure of American government.

Congress is also playing games again. What looked like a routine move on health care turned into a reminder of how quickly promises fall apart in Washington. Some lawmakers are hoping voters won’t notice the fine print or the delays.

Two senator’s moves could change the entire conversation about the future of health care subsidies. A vote expected this week has both parties acting uneasy for very different reasons.

Marjorie Taylor Greene stepped back into the spotlight with a message that stunned even her own audience. Her sudden shift raises questions about loyalty, fear, and what happens when political alliances crack in public view.

At the same time Trump rolled out a sweeping plan on artificial intelligence. His order is already sparking concern among states, tech leaders, and anyone watching how quickly AI is reshaping daily life.

Plus a notable Democrat just made a move in Texas that could have long term consequences. It caught more than a few observers off guard.

This is your Monday Fallout episode.

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 forced the release of long sealed records and a federal judge agreed to open the door. These documents have been hidden from the public for years and the names connected to them are not small. What is inside these pages could shake a lot more than headlines.

A military operation from earlier this year has suddenly taken a darker turn with new information that changes everything we thought we understood. What looked murky before now looks even more disturbing. I walk you through what officials admitted this week and why it matters.

Political fallout continues as the vice president brushes off growing questions about his personal life. It is not gossip. It is about transparency and power and the reaction from the administration tells its own story.

And while all that is happening a massive shakeup just hit the entertainment world. A deal that nobody predicted has now rewritten the future of some of the most iconic studios and characters on earth. This is not just corporate news. This is a cultural shift.

I wrap this episode with News From The Edge of Sanity where a bizarre little story from rural Scotland somehow steals the spotlight. Trust me you will want to hear this one. It involves a shop. A camera. And a very surprising customer who knows exactly what she wants.

If you want the full story and all the context you will find it here. No spin. No filters. No pretending things are normal. Just the truth the absurdity and a world that keeps getting stranger by the hour.
