Bizarro world was one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes. It was the story of Elaine meeting three new friends and entering a parallel existence where everything was the polar opposite of Jerry, George, and Kramer. She was torn between the dysfunctional friends that she was joined at the hip and the better civil versions. Many of us are experiencing the opposite of Elaine’s dilemma. We like and enjoy the civil, everyday life we have lived for decades and want nothing to do with the bizarro version of Joe Biden and the Progressives. We are fighting hard not to switch. Can we hold on?

Why do people like Biden, Harris, Cortez, and Sanders dislike America so much, and why do Americans send them to Washington repeatedly? I think there are two primary reasons. Probably many more, but two are significant. The first is that these people lie, especially Joe Biden. They campaign and give speeches convincing Americans that they are the same. They talk about their roots and how they feel our pain and have solutions. It is all a charade. They don’t have solutions. They have an agenda, but they want you to believe the former, and people are naïve enough to buy it, vote for them, and even send them money. People are scraping to put food on the table and keep the home warm, yet they are sending these millionaires cash to keep them in office. As I said, it is a bizarro world.

Look at today’s issues that explain the conundrum many of us feel. Millions of Americans who didn’t go to college and work hard to make ends meet are asked to pay the college loans of people who graduated with a useless degree and cannot afford the student loan payments. Until recently, you had to be Vaxxed and wear a mask to deplane and enter America. At the same time, thousands of unvetted and Unvaxxed people from around the world were wading across the Rio Grande to get a piece of the American Dream. We have rising crime and homicide rates in many of our major cities, but Progressives want to defund or dismantle our Police forces. We are housing illegal aliens in $500 a night hotel rooms while we have active military on food stamps and veterans living on the streets. We have a President who shut down our pipelines and declared war on the fossil fuel industry and petroleum executives while using our money to help mining and drilling in enemy countries like Venezuela and Iran. We are pushing people to buy electric vehicles while telling them not to charge them as brown-outs darken our cities. There are dozens of examples, but I think you get the message. The Biden administration and Progressive politicians conflict with themselves and think that is a better state of mind than the one we enjoy. It is a bizarro world.

There are so many unanswered questions. Why do these politicians want to destroy the America many of us love? Why do teachers teach our children to dislike America and disavow its history? Why do teachers want to discuss alternative sex lives and promote gender reassignment to children in elementary school? The Democrats blame Russia for interfering with every election they don’t win while they are working on getting illegal immigrants the right to vote. We have a President whose policies are destroying economies worldwide yet says he never pays attention to the Stock Markets. You cannot make these situations up. But they do exist. Nobody is coming forth with the why, but they are doing their best to keep us in the dark about the process.

Feelings of futility are overtaking our psyche, and we feel hopeless about stopping the new world order thrust upon us. We cannot let this happen, for that is part of their plan. If we give up, it will allow them to put into place all the ideas they have to transform our world into the one they envision. Our forefathers and all the patriots who followed never knelt to the pressures of the irrational people who wanted to tear down this great country, and we are not going to be the first to take a knee. Stay strong and God bless our efforts.
