Soccer?
Yeah who cares?
Some years ago, I visited a vendor in LA. My plane landed in Ontario CA where I stayed in the Holiday Inn.
On the third morning as I waited for my ride, I saw mountains. Serious and seemingly close mountains.
On the two days before, the mountains were obscured by smog. LA was ther but I couldn’t see it
I’d love to see ICE raids showing up in the background of Olympic events.
I’m glad I saw San Francisco when it wasn’t covered in feces.
So send the World Cup elsewhere already.
Cue the Netflix documentary(ies) about the alternative “street art culture” and famous “artists” that enrich everyone’s environment...
It would be a good gesture for Trump to move the LA part of the world cup to Mexico.
Although the decline of Southern California began with the election of Tom Bradley as LA mayor in 1973, it was still a great place to live until 1991 when George Deukmejian, our last conservative governor, left office. The decline accelerated after Proposition 187, a measure prohibiting illegal aliens form access to public facilities which was passed overwhelmingly by the voters in 1994, was overturned by a liberal judge.
Bass The Useless is useless
Let’s be honest, LA is a blight o America. LA is an embarrassment.
Oh, wait, this isn't from the Babylon Bee.
Smog in LA is not nearly as bad as it was in the 1950s-1980s when “eye irritation” reports were included in weather reports.
Au contraire.
She’s very useful to the Deep State.
That’s why they installed her.
LA didn’t vote for this.
bass is lying about the grafetti only showing up after the ice protest...
It’s been getting worse for probably the last decade, along with all the homeless living everywhere.
The ice protest were only really around the downtown area - the same area she called for curfews for...
The rest of the city is grafetti covered, because, like they do with shoplifters, robbers, etc, they won’t prosecute or punish anyone
Sure, on tv, the downtown l.a. area is pretty clean and grafetti and homeless free....
for about 2-3 blocks around city hall.... then it turns to doo doo
It’s all smoke and mirrors
San Fran cleaned up quickly for the Chinese …. I imagine of LA really wanted to , they could…. Especially for something as valuable, relatively speaking, as the Olympics. The fact this retard said this out loud basically guarantees the vandalism will only intensify.
Maybe some author can pen a comparison of the Rise and Fall of California to the rise and fall of say Rome. I personally witnessed the final push to the top, perhaps the successful apollo program and the ride down from the crest. It started slowly down, almost imperceptible but then wow, like a rolling stone. Declining academics, immigration, but perhaps even more so “tolerance” over pragmatism; liberalism over conservatism. Whatever, I don’t feel the genie can be put back in the bottle there. Worse, I am less hopeful it can be done nationally now given the recent BBB fiasco.
I remember being in Paris in 1994 and EVERY SINGLE BUILDING in central Paris was covered in graffiti from the street up to about arm’s length above your head. And most of it wasn’t words, it was just a bunch of squiggly lines painted on the buildings in different colors as if to say, “I don’t have nice things so I’m going to damage your otherwise nice building.” It was disgusting and I have no desire to go back.
“...it was just a bunch of squiggly lines painted on the buildings in different colors ...”
That was Arabic..............
Taggers should be shot on sight.
Well, what’s she doing running her mouth instead of out there with a bucket of soap and water cleaning up her peaceful protests. Arriba, arriba!
