California Governor Gavin Newsom passed the buck when asked during an

state’s poor response to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.

As much as I despise Newsom (and he does have things to answer for), Mayor
Karen Bass has the lion's share of the blame when it comes to these fires.

She is just wildly incompetent at her job and just not very bright. She was
only elected because of DEI factors-- back, female, etc. Not because she's
smart, capable, or had ever run anything in her life, let alone something as
complex as the nation's second largest city. But none of that mattered because
the media and the Democrats got run headlines about "the first female mayor...
oh, and she's black, too! Yippee!" As if any of that matters a damn. And now
that half the city is destroyed and all her dumb decisions are showing us why,
we get to see what voting for stupid people based on the "correct" skin color
and sex organs gets you.

If the woman had even an ounce of self-awareness and sense of dignity, she'd
apologize for her incompetence and resign.
