Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is under fire this week after a Los Angeles Times report claiming she successfully altered in her favor a critical after-action report on the devastating southern California wildfires that killed 31 people.
While Bass has repeatedly denied that she interfered with the report, the Los Angeles Times reports, citing two sources, that Bass was concerned that the city could be exposed to legal liability for its lack of preparedness and removed or softened language implicating the city.
One of the key changes, according to the Los Angeles Times, was altering details about failures to fully staff and deploy resources leading up to the fire, an issue that has drawn intense scrutiny over the past year.
**SNIP**
"Mayor Bass has been unequivocal for months — she reviewed an early draft of the report and only asked the LAFD to make sure it was accurate on issues like weather and budget," the mayor’s office said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"She and her staff made no changes to the drafts. The Mayor has been clear about her concerns regarding pre-deployment and the LAFD’s response to the fire, which is why there is new leadership at LAFD and why she called for an independent review of the Lachman Fire mop-up. There is absolutely no reason why she would request those details be altered or erased when she herself has been critical of the response to the fire — full stop. She has said this for months. This is muckraking journalism at its lowest form. It is dangerous and irresponsible for Los Angeles Times reporters to rely on third hand unsourced information to make unsubstantiated character attacks to advance a narrative that is false."

That's the one. Lock 'em all up.
Didn’t she have to leave and go on some taxpayer funded boondoggle to Somalia or somewhere?
Nothing will change. There will be no accountability for Bass. Because, to be brutally honest, negro Bass is the officially sanctioned choice of a Negro and Whigro progressive-left city. Let LA sleep in the rotting bed it has made for itself. Best you can do is move away from the rot.
This pretty well sums it up. Of course the course of action might be to fire quite a few of the California bunch, up to & including Newsom. Then they would need some rapid elections or appointments. I’m not sure how many new people would want to be saddled with the mess that crew left, but who knows? It might be a golden opportunity to get that state straightened out. But it would be a big job for someone(s).

I like the way you think, FRiend. With GOD’s help... no job is too big for Him!

...and? Do any of these types ever get charged or otherwise punished? Even by the voters? Big nothing-burger.
LA Bass, NYC Mamdani, Minneapolis Frey...trifecta of EVIL. What can be done?
“Of course I didn’t change the drafts. It was the FINAL report that I changed.”
Ghana, as I recall.
I'm really surprised the LA Times would publish this against one of their own.

They’ve already got one even further to the left of her already lined up to take her place.
She lied?
Say it ain’t so . . .
....And again, AMEN!
Bass is a good example of what being inept means.

That’s not a bug, that’s a feature.

A leftwing communist who chose the satanic cult of homosexuality actually lied?
That’s hard to believe..../s
Serious investigations into fraud, unforgiving prosecutions, and merciless sentencing. That’s what should be done but Republican DOJs are cowardly wussies..
No Progtard Demoncrat runs for or gets elected to office intending to properly and responsibly perform the functions of the office and serve the citizens.
It is all about power for them and the party, as well as how much of the public treasury they can they loot for themselves and their allies.
When Reality, as in the forms of man-made and natural disasters, asserts itself, they have no intention of facing or solving the problem. It is simply and unwanted interruption to their power grab and looting that is going to be ignored.
If you are unfortunate to live in a city or state under hegemonic demoncrat control, are not nor did you vote Demoncrat, and assuming you are unable to leave, the rules for survival are simple:
1. No one is coming to save you.
2. Everything is your responsibility.
3. Save who needs to be saved.
4. Kill who needs to be killed.
5. Never stop working.
If you voted for the Progtard Demoncrats and live in a city or state under hegemonic Demoncrat control, you absolutely deserve the government you elected, and you deserve to get it good and hard, airtight, with cheese graters for condoms, and 24/7, until the Demoncrats have taken your possessions, your freedom, your life, and whatever sacred honor you may have possessed.
Embrace the suck, bask in the warmth of collectivism, live in chains, and die in place, because THIS is what you voted for. Whatever you do, DO NOT go elsewhere, fouling up your new home as badly as the squalid mess which YOU created and where you now exist.
