We have multiple reports Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass knew of the grave fire risk to her city before she abandoned it for a taxpayer-funded “diplomatic” trip to Ghana in Western Africa.
Here’s the timeline of what we know so far courtesy of Lee Fang’s Substack page:
Thursday, January 2: The “National Weather Service explicitly warned Los Angeles about “extreme fire conditions” over the next week
Thursday, January 2: “Jonathan O’Brien, a meteorologist with the U.S. Forest Service, spoke to officials and posted openly about the incoming threat.”
Thursday, January 2: “O’Brien noted that weather models for Southern California showed a ‘strong-extreme Santa Ana wind event starting Tuesday 1/7.’”
Friday, January 3: “Rose Schoenfeld, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service Los Angeles office… gave a briefing that warned that the lack of rain this winter season, coupled with forecasted strong wind, posed an imminent threat.”

Democrats LOVE STUPID PEOPLE!
Marilyn Monroe house was just designated as historic and now burnt up
Sad
She is making Nero look like a piker. History will likely be kinder in comparison as well.
What positive contribution could she have made by being there?
If she hadn’t have gone to Africa, this would never have happened!!!
The “MEME” generation ...... “F’ America!”
“Democrats LOVE STUPID PEOPLE!”
Isn’t that the truth? The stupidest of the stupid run for office. The stupid electorate elects those very stupid people.
I’m constantly amazed at the many nasty turds that rise to the top of the government septic tank, especially in the most liberal places. Just look at LA, California, Portland OR, Denver CO, Colorado, Washington State, Illinois. They are run by people who normally would not succeed at a lemonade stand.
Along with gruesome newsome.
You can blame the overeducated know it all holier than thou college indoctrinated baby killing feminazis for those fiascos.
Far kinder, I’d say.
You are a very un-seriousness person. You can stop with the strawman accusations and sophistry.
You would have people accept that leaders can do nothing in such a tragedy and should have no accountability even when it has been clearly shown her policies have contributed to this event.
Also, just keep ignoring she was warned this was a very bad time for the area and the potential of such fires.
Maybe stupid people should not be allowed to vote along with the illegals, dead people, et al.
I am hearing a lot of the hydrants were stolen for scrap?
This token hire wasn't going to do anything anyway. She's a puppet, merely there to maintain the illusion of voting.
Her Democrat handlers have blood on their hands.
You have a point.
We should send all the big city mayors to Africa—one way ticket.
Bye!
Why does the mayor of Los Angeles need to conduct diplomacy with another country. I thought treaties/diplomacy were reserved for the federal government by the constitution but what do I know.
As I understand it, the Biden administration sent her to Ghana to celebrate the election of a new Ghanian president. Why her? Because she’s black and mayor of America’s second-largest city and that might be impressive to the Africans. It certainly is impressive to democrats.
As to what difference she would have made had she been where she’s supposed to be, well, leaders are supposed to lead, aren’t they? Or is that too much to expect?
