Wildfires Devastate Huge Swaths of Los Angeles While Mayor Karen Bass Parties in Africa
Mayor Karen Bass has been on an mission-critical taxpayer-funded junket to Ghana while her city burns.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass went on a junket to Ghana as part of a Biden administration delegation to President John Dramani's inauguration despite indications that fire season was about to begin.
Bass is reportedly on her way back as of Wednesday morning and "should return to the city within hours," according to Newsweek.
Obviously she cut the budget of the fire department. As I said, we'll find out all these cuts were required to pay for illegal aliens' shelter and health care.

Karen Bass cut fire dept funding by $17.6M.
That was her 2nd biggest cut.
There are reports that fire hydrants are empty, so firemen can't spray down the fires. Apparently California passed a ballot initiative ten years ago mandating the building of additional reservoirs and aquifers so that the state would have ready reserves of water. But of course they were never built. Building reservoirs would apparently impact the very important snail darter, or was it the delta smelt? Not sure which critical fish was threatened.
Not only didn't they build more reservoirs, they refused to fill the inadequate number they currently have.

#BREAKING: Los Angeles fire hydrants are OUT OF WATER because the county REFUSED to refill reservoirs, per Rick Caruso
"You can't fight a fire without water!"
The Mayor did ZERO prep despite the advanced warning of winds and fire risk.
This is EXACTLY what happened on Maui!

California fails to manage brush and refuses to follow through with new reservoir builds so it can protect a tiny fish and wildfires happen, almost always started by humans.
Libs: "This is climate change."

Governor Gavin Newscum refused to sign the water restoration declaration put before him that would have allowed millions of gallons of water, from excess rain and snow melt from the North, to flow daily into many parts of California, including the areas that are currently burning in a virtually apocalyptic way. He wanted to protect an essentially worthless fish called a smelt, by giving it less water (it didn't work!), but didn't care about the people of California. Now the ultimate price is being paid. I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean, fresh water to FLOW INTO CALIFORNIA! He is the blame for this. On top of it all, no water for fire hydrants, not firefighting planes. A true disaster!

Power lines are sparking against trees. The power company doesn't pick up the line when citizens attempt to report the danger.
An ugly leftist woman -- is there any other kind? -- celebrated the burning of James Woods' home, apparently unaware that most of Los Angeles is even more leftwing than she is and their homes burned too.
Someone posted this highly informative instructional meme to her.
Obviously the mayor and fire chief are DEI hires who have prioritized moar DEI over doing their actual jobs.
It's just a sea of female Persons of Color and diverse lesbians as far as you can see.
It's like The Terminator:
That's an evacuation of nursing home patients.
