Answering communism’s siren call

We narrowly avoided a Vice President Karen Bass—South Koreans weren’t so fortunate.

Despite the LA riots being a direct manifestation of Joe Biden’s open border policy, they prove there is one decision he made (if, in fact, he was making them) in 2020, which we can appreciate—and recent political history in South Korea reveal why.

In August 2020, after considering several prominent Democrats for the position of vice president on his ticket, presidential candidate Biden selected “word salad” expert Kamala Harris. As a female and a minority member, she met his DEI requirements. But another DEI candidate making his shortlist was Karen Bass–the current mayor of LA.

Setting aside the leadership incompetence that Bass has exhibited both in dealing with the wildfires that impacted LA earlier and the current riots, most disconcerting is that Bass has, for decades, held an established record as an open communist sympathizer and supporter of the late Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

That anyone with such a background would even be considered as a potential vice presidential candidate is outrageous. Fortunately, she was not selected. Undeterred by her non-selection, Bass has continued to hold on to her far left and communist-leaning beliefs. It is no wonder the city today is a mess as evidenced by its debt of nearly one billion dollars, under-manned police force, and social unrest—just the kind of influences upon which communism relies to tighten its grip.

Accordingly, the FBI is now investigating reports that the LA riots are being funded by the Chinese Communist Party and other groups with communist links.

Saddening is the fact that the turmoil LA residents are suffering has been self-inflicted—the result of voters answering the call of a communist sympathizer to lead their city. While other cities, like Seattle, have incurred similar fates due to naive voters

I don’t remember the media mentioning that Karen Bass was the southern California leader of the Communist Venceremos Brigade.

We seem to have forgotten that Mayor Bass presided over the first American pogrom against the Jews just a year ago. It was reported that Mayor Bass refused police protection to the attacked Jews.

Gotta admit it’s alluring to the non-thinkers. The Kenyan was masterful. Then there’s BJ. Charisma for starters. Then make one feel good-more important than making them think. Easier too.
