Comedians and Act Your Age co-stars Yvette Nicole Brown and Kym Whitley are standing behind Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass amid the wildfire crisis, and they believe the harsh criticism she's receiving is race related. 'Let me tell you something, she's got a spine of steel,' Yvette told TMZ outside a grocery store on Saturday. 'And she's also been a Black woman in America for a long time, so none of this is new to her. We are mad, because we're tired of it.'

Surprised? Shouldn't be. The citizens of LA voted for the Bass. They voted for Do Expect Incompetence. Just like state wide, they voted for the Slick Ball. They again voted for Do Expect Incompetence. Do not complain when your communities go up in flames. You all voted for their lack of action. Do not complain and do not come to Florida.

Sorry girls. But that BS mantra you are spewing, as they say, "that dog won't hunt no more." The times they are a changing. And thank God for that. California, recall Newsom, now! LA, recall Bass, now!. And vote like your lives depend on it, cause as you can see, they do.

LA has severe Wildfires. Bass was AWOL when she KNEW the fire danger was going to be high. The management for dealing with these fires, that happen regularly, is all screwed up. She is incompetent. What color is her skin and why should anyone care? Or that she is female. Or what her sexual preferences are? The only thing that matters and that she has proven she can't accomplish, is DOING HER JOB! The same is true (incompetence) for Newsom and he isn't Black or a woman. Nice hair though.

According to mouthy black women, everything is race based. If Mayor Bass had been lilly-white she would still be a stupid, clueless, sexually-confused, fat, incompetent loser not fit to run anything but a small kitchen that had been stripped of sharp objects.

Sweden has the highest sexual assault rates in the EU. When researchers tried to unravel the cause of the sexual assault epidemic in the country they discovered that “first- and second-generation immigrants constituted the majority of the rape offenders”. Over half of immigrant sex offenders came from the Middle East and Africa. In Malmo, the largest ‘Muslim city’ in Sweden and Europe, where a quarter of the population is Muslim, the study found that 71% of the convicted rapists were immigrants. Swedish authorities tried to prosecute the female lead researcher for releasing those numbers. [SNIP] Muslims have been responsible for some 40,000 sexual assaults in a country of only 10 million.

Just a year before she took office, Bass pledged to the New York Times that if elected, “Not only would I of course live here [in Los Angeles], but I also would not travel internationally — the only places I would go would be DC, Sacramento, San Francisco and New York, in relation to LA.”

At this point, you kind of wonder whether the citizens of Los Angeles want Mayor Karen Bass back in Ghana. As you may recall, the prominent California Democrat — former head of the Congressional Black Caucus during her time in the House of Representatives and a potential veep pick for Joe Biden in 2020 before her fondness for Fidel Castro and the “Church” of Scientology derailed her — was over in the African nation for the inauguration of a new president. [SNIP] Bass refused help from the New York Fire Department — even though the city was willing to pay for airfare to bring firefighters out to Los Angeles.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom sent a letter to President-elect Donald Trump on Friday, inviting him to come see the effects of the wildfires in Los Angeles for himself. In the letter, Newsom invites Trump to come see the damage, meet with first responders and displaced victims and thank firefighters and emergency personnel for their work. "In the spirit of this great country, we must not politicize human tragedy or spread disinformation from the sidelines," Newsom wrote. "Hundreds of thousands of Americans — displaced from their homes and fearful for the future — deserve to see all of us working in their best interests to ensure a fast recovery and rebuild."

Gavin Newsom is coming under fire for slashing California's funding for wildfire and forest resilience by $101 million less than a year before devastating fires tore through Los Angeles. The Democrat California Governor signed the budget cuts into law in June 2024, severing funding from seven programs focused on preventing and battling potential wildfires in the state, reports Newsweek. Cuts included a $5 million decrease to the CAL FIRE fuel reduction teams, which included funding to pay for vegetation management work by the California National Guard, an analysis by the outlet found.

This cut is already on top of $17.6million of cuts in her latest budget. The extra cuts, requested just days before fires broke out and devastated swathes of Los Angeles, would have shut down 16 fire stations and crippled the department's ability to respond to emergencies, sources said. [SNIP] The memo is dated January 6, only a day before the devastating Palisades Fire started.
