Karen Bass out of town for yet another major LA fire
masn ^ | 06/22/2026 | ny post

Karen Bass was out of town for a major fire that affected the entire LA region.

No, we’re not talking about the Palisades Fire of January 2025, when she was, infamously, in Ghana to represent the Biden administration at a foreign presidential inauguration.

We’re talking about the Boyle Heights fire, which continues to rage in East LA, and which has spewed black smoke into the summer sky.

The emergency caused smoke to hover over the World Cup match between Iran and Belgium in Inglewood, and over the Dodgers-Orioles game in Chavez Ravine.

It’s a major international embarrassment, evoking bad memories of LA’s smoggy past, as well as the wildfires last year.

Bass was out of town...attending the opening of former President Barack Obama’s presidential center in Chicago.

She’s giving the moron voters of LA every example of why she is a horrible candidate and the voting public is just too dense to change the leadership running the city.

It’s what the people of LA demand. A woman of color who lives like a baller, and ignores responsibility. It’s what they aspire to become themselves.

There was too much news getting out about America’s greatness and the loving nature of the American people.

IMHO, this could be deliberate arson to dampen the spirits of Americans and foreigners visiting for the first time.

This is what she does. Californians are ok with this. They are voting her back into office

Bass received 34% of the vote, followed by Raman with 29% and Pratt with 26%.

"town...attending the opening of former President Barack Obama’s ..."

Chicago is not your place of work, Karen. If Obama had chosen LA for his (Library), that would be different. He specifically chose to not build it in LA, and that alone is the reason you decline attending the opening as part of your official duties.

So? Not as if she isn’t going to be re-elected.

Yeah, well... thanks to leftist Democrat voter/election fraud... it is no longer true (or fair) to accuse folks of being “ok” with leftist Democrats being elected. After all.... most Americans did NOT for for droolin Joe O’Biden in 2020. Yet... there he was, stumbling around the White House for four seemingly endless years.

Additionally.... it’s the larger cities, like Los Angeles, that have been taken over by leftist Democrats, that always vote for the Democrat. And Spencer Pratt proved that there actually is a contingent of voters in Los Angeles with working/active brain cells that did NOT want Bass as mayor. If not for voter fraud, Pratt might have won, but we will never know... now.

Don’t blame Karen Bass for anything she does as mayor. It seems that a huge majority of LA Residents still want her regardless. They deserve everything they get.

It’s either a country by the people or it isn’t. Not both

Voters allow cheating in the first case. The corrupt government is in charge if it’s the latter

In either case the bottlers have allowed it

We are not putting up with voter fraud in the general elections watch what happens

Lis Angeles, that’s a different story. People pick up and run away to other states. If tgey turn Texas blue we’ll have a real problem

All this fuss when you know that Bass doesn't give a damn about you people in LA. But, go ahead, put her back in office. Like they say:

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

This behavior makes it hard for the rest of us to feel sorry for the residents of LA.

Nithya Raman won't be any better, and, in fact, might be far worse.

LA loses either way - the vote fraud machine had to knock Spencer Pratt out of the way so Bass could have an easier opponent.

Nithya Raman came in 3rd in her own district - yet we're to believe 40% of the vote coming in after the election in other districts was for her?

“”We are not putting up with voter fraud in the general elections watch what happens””

We let them get away with stealing an election in 2020. What makes you think anything has changed re: that and it won’t or can’t happen again?

“”Lis Angeles, that’s a different story. People pick up and run away to other states. If tgey turn Texas blue we’ll have a real problem””

They’re trying and if, or rather when, another DemocRat admin gets into power, Texas will go the way of the Dodo bird as a free and sane state and as one of the last bastions of sanity and non-leftist values. They will import yet more illegal scum, flood the state with more foreigners, enact amnesty and the GOP will forever be a lame duck party.

The main problem we have right now is stupid people that are allowed to vote... for what they think is their own best interests (free everything)... when it’s really voting against their interests and their future to vote for Democrats. That, and the problem of stupid people that believe the BS they’re being fed by lamestream media.

We’re there running fire trucks? All great questions! What was learned and addressed by Mayor Big Mouth Bass?

It can. But I think it won’t
