Staff Reports
In a tragic display of failed leadership, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has proven herself more invested in photo-ops abroad than in the well-being of her own constituents. While she was off rubbing elbows at a Ghanaian presidential inauguration, her city was battling a catastrophic fire. Homes were scorched, families displaced, lives upended—all while the person elected to lead them was 7,600 miles away, prioritizing political clout over common sense.
Local leadership is about showing up and making tough calls in crises. But in Karen Bass’s world, it seems virtue-signaling takes precedence over basic responsibilities. She slashed the budget for the fire department to fund so-called progressive projects, leaving first responders ill-prepared and under-resourced. What does she care, anyway? She checked all the diversity boxes to become mayor, so actual competence wasn’t really on the agenda.

Her silence speaks louder than any statement she could have made upon her clueless return to L.A. Unfazed by the chaos she let unfold, Bass has yet to grasp the gravity of neglecting her core duties. Public safety and order were thrown out the window like yesterday’s talking points, much like her half-hearted attempts to blame her staff for her own blunders.
Those on the left continue to tout their tolerance and inclusivity, yet they’re quick to let America burn when it means showcasing their global allegiances. Perhaps pleasing the international crowd is all that matters, as long as the liberal checklists are completed—real people don’t seem to factor into the equation.
Karen Bass, focused on defending her failed reign by revising history and deleting emails, should ponder whether running for re-election is about finishing a rejected agenda or simply holding onto power. Can Los Angeles afford a mayor more concerned with riding the progressive parade float than responding to the alarms ringing in her own backyard?
