We Are Living in Bizzaro World
We Are Living in Bizzaro World

Every day we are assaulted with more and more absurdities, irrational claims, government pronouncements and policies that make no sense at all. Eight months into the second Trump presidency we are witnessing the implosion and collapse of the Democratic Party as Trump places his stamp on the Republican Party which means we will see more flip flopping, outrageous bombast, threats, contradictions and gaslighting.
It’s as if
we somehow got sucked into another dimension and we are now living on Bizzaro World.
Some of you may not know what Bizzaro World is, it is a fictional place in the DC
comics universe one of Superman’s nemesis created. Bizzaro was a sort of Frankenstein
Superman who was created by the mad scientists/criminal mind Lex Luthor, but Bizzaro
was so flawed he was a caricature of Superman. Bizzaro later created his own
world an upside-down place where everything was the opposite of what was
happening on planet earth.
Bizzaro had super powers like Superman but his
thinking and behavior was as we used to say was “throwed off”. Normal people dealing
with Bizzaro faced a major challenge because Bizzaro presented a reverse,
inside out, upside-down version of everything they were accustomed to. When Superman travelled to Bizzaro World he
had to make major adjustments when he confronted Bizzaro because the situation
was so bizarre.
America in 2025 is very much like
Bizzaro World. We have a president who claims he is for peace yet he supports
wanton genocide and supplies hundreds of billions of dollars worth of weapons
in an ongoing proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, he makes vague threats and
provocative statements against China then backtracks or postpones what he
threatened. He postures and boasts about America prowess when in fact the US is
at a severe disadvantage geostrategically, economically and militarily!
Plus, Trump’s buddy Benjamin Netanyahu
who is waging a unrelenting campaign of ethnic cleansing and genocide against the
people of Gaza who in July launched an illegal and unprovoked attack on Iran that
Trump supported and joined is going to nominate Trump for the Noble Peace Prize!
This is pure Bizzaro World stuff.
Here are a few examples of Trump’s Bizzaro
World antics. Trump claims the US economy is doing great under his watch yet anyone
paying attention to consumer prices knows things are not great, inflation is
still high. Trump wants to replace Jerome Powell the Chairman of the Federal
Reserve Bank because Powell won’t lower interest rates, an act most economists
know will generate continued inflation! Meanwhile Trump says absolutely nothing
about the steadily escalating rise in M2 the US money supply which is the real
cause of inflation! We are being gaslit
on this issue.
Trump claimed he would end the
Ukraine war as soon as he was inaugurated in January. Well, here we are seven
months later and the war is still raging. Trump held a much ballyhooed meeting
with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week promising great results. Prior
to the meeting Trump threatened more sanctions if Putin didn’t agree to his
demands. But the meeting ended quickly with no deals, no resolutions, no ceasefire
nor any concrete prospects for peace. To add insult to injury Putin continued
to pound Ukraine hard before and after his meeting with Trump! So much for Trump’s diplomatic acumen and deal
making.
Next, Trump called a meeting with Zelensky
the president of Ukraine, but Zelensky brought his European supporters who seem
to want the war to continue to the meeting with him! The Europeans and Zelensky
made demands they knew Putin would never accept, thus ensuring the war would go
on. Even comic book creators couldn’t make this stuff up. We are indeed living in
a real live Bizzaro World.
