“Bass was in Accra this week as part of a delegation to celebrate the inauguration of Ghana President John Mahama.”

I have to admit that I’m a bit perplexed at the connection between the Los Angeles Mayors Office and the swearing in of a new President in a third World country.

The KTLA link is working very slowly. I wonder if half of LA is reading it right now.

I heard that Mayor Bass was in Ghana to recruit more unqualified DEI folks for Fire Department command positions. Of course I could be wrong.

” . . . inauguration of Ghana President John Mahama.”

Any relation to Yo Mahama? - might explain why she had to go. (sorry - couldn’t help myself))

Was she there before or after the fires started?

Bass was in Congress for 20 years, where she was on the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and Chair of the Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, and Global Human Rights.

So “Momma Africa” was a her schtick, her song-and-dance, her make-believe area of expertise. I remember Ted Kennedy fashioned himself as an “Irish expert” and often interjected himself into Northern Ireland politics and USA-UK-Irish relations. Similar thing.

For Bass, these connections may also allow for opportunities for influence-peddling and money-channelling. She’s in Ghana to keep up the connections and promote the ruse

LA constituents be damned.
