Palisades Resident Destroys LA Mayor Bass'
Narrative, Describes 'Bureaucratic Hell'
Following Wildfire

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 6/1/2025 9:07:07 PM

Uncontrolled wildfires raged through Los Angeles in January, all but destroying the neighborhoods of Pacific Palisades and Altadena. We at RedState covered extensively the mistakes made before the fires and after they broke out—including empty reservoirs, a missing mayor, a failure to clean out forests, a fire department that was as focused on social justice as much or more than it was about fighting fires, and more. But now we’re in the aftermath. Despite Mayor Karen Bass’ excited updates about how well it’s going, one Palisades resident begs to differ. In fact, he said recovery efforts are going extremely badly.

Comments:

I believe the affected residents before I believe the pompous politician who couldn't even be bothered to be in the country while her city was burning!!

In the totally Dem run city, how could anyone imagine anything else but a bureaucratic hell?

"Karen Bass became the first woman and second Black person to serve as mayor of Los Angeles." Elections have consequences.

All part of the evil plan to burn out/eliminate residents, as in Maui. And an intentional bureaucratic obstacle course before issuing rebuild permits to prevent humans from moving back in.

I suspect many residents have simply walked away from the hellhole that is LA and will never rebuild there.

What happened to all the money raised by the benefit concert? "Uncontrolled wildfires raged through Los Angeles in January. . ." It sure looks like from the pictures, that the fire was more controlled than uncontrolled.

As we expected. Her qualifications were race, lesbianism and of course DEI assisted employment. She could skate along and collect her $311,879 per year but when a real job requirement came up - Nada.

Why is Bass still in office? It wouldn't be because she's black and has a D after her name, would it?

I wonder if the nearby reservoir is still as dry as a bone. With summer on its way it will soon be dry and fire season again.

A Michigan antisemite was plotting to massacre kids at a Jewish daycare and tried to illegally buy assault weapons after hurling threats at the preschoolers, federal prosecutors have revealed. Hassan Chokr, 35, was out on bail when he drove through the parking lot of Temple Beth El in Bloomfield Hills, outside Detroit, and shouted antisemitic slurs and threats as parents dropped off their kids in December 2022, authorities said. He pleaded guilty to federal gun charges on May 28. US Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon Jr said Chokr’s attempted gun purchase was part of what authorities believe was a larger plot “to follow through on his menacing threats against parents and preschoolers

The suspect in Sunday’s antisemitic terror attack in Colorado hoped to pull off a mass shooting, but his immigration status prevented him from buying a gun — and he now faces up to 624 years behind bars if convicted in the horror, officials said Monday. Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, admitted to a detective that he initially planned on gunning down his victims, even taking a concealed-carry class where he learned how to fire a weapon, authorities said. But the Egyptian national was blocked from purchasing the weapon because his US visa had expired, Judicial District Attorney Michael Dougherty said at a press conference Monday afternoon in Boulder.

Author and political commentator David Brooks sparked outrage and calls for the defunding of PBS after outrageous comments about Elon Musk. The New York Times columnist likened the billionaire Tesla CEO to infamous mass murderers in history on “PBS Newshour” as he blasted the cuts to USAID under Musk’s leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency. “So far, 55,000 adults have died of AIDS in the four months since Trump was elected; 6,000 children are dead because of what DOGE did. That’s just PEPFAR, the HIV. You add them all up, that’s 300,000 dead, and we’re four months in,” Brooks claimed.

Republican strategist Scott Jennings pushed back hard when podcast host Tara Palmeri claimed during a Sunday debate that political violence was an equivalent issue on “both sides” of the aisle. Jennings said on “The Tara Palmeri Show” that one recommendation he would give Democrats is to dispose of their “violent tendencies,” noting the vandalism against Tesla that spiked due to Elon Musk’s involvement with President Donald Trump’s administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Palmeri interrupted to refute his claim that political violence is a left-wing problem by bringing up the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, but Jennings noted that it was “one bad day” rather than a pattern.

Leaked medical tests reportedly show that Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who won Olympic gold as a female boxer in Paris last year, has “male karyotypes” and may not qualify as a female for the 2027 Olympics after the new gender test requirement comes into force. Khelif dominated all female opponents to win the gold in women’s boxing at the 2024 event. Still, the win was marred by controversy because the Algerian had been disqualified from competing as a female in 2022 and 2023 by the International Boxing Association (IBA) due to concerns about the validity of Khelif’s gender tests.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) made multiple false statements on President Donald Trump’s economy and the Republicans’ proposed changes to Medicaid and Obamacare spending, prompting a fact-check from the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). Speaking on the Mornings with Zerlina radio show last Thursday, Jeffries repeated the already-debunked lie that “about 13.7 million people will be flown off their health care” due to the reconciliation bill the House passed last month, which is now under the consideration of the Senate. Jeffries claimed: Well, it’s a reckless extreme budget that Republicans are trying to jam down the throats of the American people, lifting up a whole host of right wing ideas

Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called on outgoing Trump administration official and Tesla CEO Elon Musk to apologize for measures taken by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). “He says he’s in a bind,” Schumer said. “The American people are in a bind because of what Musk did. His DOGE, which, you know, didn’t go, didn’t do as much as he wanted it to do, but still did huge amounts of damage in terms of the firing of employees, the decimation of agencies like health care, like going after, making sure drugs and food is safe, nuclear energy is safe.

“Never let a good crisis go to waste.” The phrase is often attributed to Winston Churchill, as well as former Barack Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin (D) is apparently taking that message to heart and is using Sunday’s tragic terror attack in Boulder, Colorado by a deranged antisemite against marchers from the American Jewish group "Run for Their Lives" to push for an agenda that has nothing to do with the assault: gun control. If only we could get rid of those dreaded "military style assault weapons," attacks like this wouldn't happen. The problem with his mind-boggling assessment? No guns were used in the attack.

Representative Maxine Waters' campaign has been hit with a $68,000 fine by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) after an investigation found that it accepted and disbursed contributions exceeding allowable amounts. The violations involved Citizens for Waters accepting $19,000 in excessive contributions from multiple individuals, exceeding the $2,800 individual limit, as well as making $7,000 worth of “prohibited cash disbursements” from a petty cash fund, all during the 2020 election cycle. The group's treasurer, referred to as the "committee" in the FEC filing, is accused of "knowingly accepting excessive contributions" and "failing to accurately report both receipts and disbursements made."

Enough is enough. Democrats have been demonizing and whipping up anger against ICE and other federal agents trying to do their jobs for immigration enforcement. It's despicable what they have been doing. They've had people like Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) referring to them as "Gestapo." Goldman also attacked ICE and federal agents for wearing masks during immigration enforcement. He even questioned them for wearing plain clothes in a bizarre attack - as though police marking down a suspect would/should wear police outfits that would scare off the person they're trying to arrest.

I know we've all felt an intellectual aridity in our lives since Kamala Harris's presidential campaign ended, along with her deep cultural insights that left us all in a state of awe. Who can forget the immortal words, "What can be, unburdened by what has been"? What was more head-scratching than that turn of nonsensical phrase was the repetitiveness with which she said it. I don't know about you, but my wife, in-laws and I turned it into a private intra-family laugh line, repeating it whenever we felt like cracking each other up in a group chat. Another inside joke was our, usually hopeless, effort to repeat Kamala's Churchillian quote:

Hundreds of peonies were vandalized at a University of Michigan garden at the peak of the flowers' bloom time. The vandalism happened late Saturday and was discovered Wednesday at the WE Upjohn Peony Garden in the Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum. The University of Michigan Division of Public Safety and Security said officers found that about 250 peony plants of the garden's roughly 800 peony plants had most of their flowers appear to have been intentionally cut and left behind on the ground, with the scene surprising both garden staff and visitors. University police say no group has been identified or taken credit for the vandalism, but

First the cliff notes version: There’s an important detail to remember. People are laughing at the long-range Russian bombers being left out in the open, vulnerable to attack. However, the bomber visibility is required as part of several nuclear agreements between the USA and Russia (SALT and START). Our U.S. long range nuclear capable bombers, covered under the same agreements, are also visible. Ukraine President Zelenskyy is playing with fire by targeting them, which also explains why Zelenskyy never told President Trump in advance. The U.S and NATO have provided the means. However, #1) did Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just exploit a vulnerability by targeting Russian long-range nuclear capable bombers?

The UK will build "up to" 12 new attack submarines, the prime minister will announce, as the government unveils its major defence review on Monday. The new conventionally-armed, nuclear-powered submarines will replace the seven-strong Astute class from the late 2030s onwards. The review is expected to recommend the armed forces move to "warfighting readiness" to deter growing threats faced by the UK. The prime minister is also expected to confirm the UK will spend £15bn on its nuclear warhead programme. Sir Keir will say that, alongside the UK's nuclear-armed submarines, the new vessels would keep "Britain and Nato safe for decades".

If the Biden regime hadn’t inundated the country with illegal migrants, and if leftist judges hadn’t done all they could to stymie the Trump administration’s deportation efforts, the Boulder terrorist attack on Sunday might never have happened. The attacker, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, screamed “Free Palestine” and threw Molotov cocktails at people who were peacefully standing for Israel in Boulder, Colorado Sunday night, injuring eight. Like Yasser Arafat, Soliman is a Palestinian activist who actually doesn’t hail from any Palestinian area: also like Arafat, Soliman is from Egypt. The Biden regime gave Soliman a visa, and he entered the U.S. on Aug. 27, 2022. By the time he carried out his attack,
