Bass's Ashes
The Epoch Times ^ | January 13, 2025 | Lloyd Billingsley

In California or Cuba, Karen Bass has no regard for the welfare of the people.

“Dick Van Dyke, Cher and Barbra Streisand are among thousands of Malibu residents who have been forced to abandon their homes as a fast-moving brushfire rages through Southern California,” reported the New York Post on December 10, 2024. The fires, fueled by strong winds, served as a warning of blazes to come. On January 7, 2025, with meteorologists warning that fire was on track to strike Los Angeles, mayor Karen Bass flew to Ghana to attend a presidential inauguration.

On Wednesday, fast-breaking fires were turning vast swaths of the city into an inferno, with residents fleeing for their lives and embattled firefighters running out of water. When Bass returned, she refused to answer questions about the water shortage and whether she owed the people an apology for leaving the scene of a disaster. In her brief statement, Bass did not acknowledge cutting the fire department’s budget by nearly $20 million. Her incompetence was obvious to all but the willfully blind, but there’s more that people should know. The California Democrat, once on Joe Biden’s short list for a black female running mate, is a member of her party’s Castro wing.

The LA native, born in 1953, graduated from Cal State Dominguez Hills and earned a master’s degree from USC in social work. In 1973, at age 19, Bass traveled to Cuba with the Venceremos Brigade, organized by Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), keystone of the New Left, and the Castro dictatorship.

You can’t spell Bass without...

Are we to believe those poor celebs who were forced into luxury hotels may now be expected to actually use toilets that have been used by OTHER PEOPLE?

It’s been a while since grammar school but shouldn’t it just be Bass’ ashes?

I’m not sick. But I know from working with leftist that they are beyond reasoning with. They have embraced irrationality.

Because of that you can’t pity them, nor show mercy. They operate under an internal logic that they believe is ALWAYS right even though they are almost always wrong. Facts don’t matter to them, only ideology

They will smile as they send you to the death camps. I want to wipe that smile off their face.

You need to realize that the antidote to irrational thinking is not reason but force. Better that force is a natural one than a civil war. You cannot negotiate, or reason with the left.

On Bass winning...

https://laist.com/news/politics/2022-election-california-general-live-results-los-angeles-city-mayor-bass-caruso

“...
The contest was a virtual dead heat on Election Night. Caruso pulled slightly ahead last Thursday, but since then Bass gained a steady lead...”

Sound familiar...?

I think there’s a decent chance that, no, they didn’t vote for this.
