Sometimes things go another direction, and the perfect opportunity arrives.

I wanted to speak about how I get news sources for some time, and I also thought it would be an injustice to not touch of some of the most important current events. When scheduling conflicts kept a guest off the show, lemonade from lemons!

This week I hit REAL news, inflation, The Supreme Court (or rather, I don't), the Senate's budget bill, and a brief look at why we may have entered the fray against Iran. Hold tight!

Juneteenth just passed, so, yeah, I am a bit late. I had mentioned wanting to cover the history of "Woke," and adding Juneteenth seemed perfect, if a few days late.

This is a shorter episode, but very important none the less.

The Mad Centrist plays off of the famous Kurt Vonnegut quote "A sane man, to an insane world, must appear insane." Recently this seems even more apt.

The world is hitting new levels of insanity, and we must be Mad to be so sane!

Arresting Federal Marshalls? Not able to bring back Abrego Garcia, until of course we are able to - only to make him stand trial for made up charges?

Do I have this right? The largest breakup during Pride month was Elon Musk and Donald Trump?

Revel in the Insanity in this episode. No show notes, this one is off the cuff!
