Los Angeles is on fire. Outside the night sky looks orange. The current scale of fires appears unprecedented and we’re still heading into some of the worst winds overnight. (If you don’t see further updates from me, it may be because the power is out.)

And Mayor Karen Bass, the social justice candidate whose election was lubricated by some of the most obvious ballot stuffing since the glory days of Chicago is… in Ghana.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass will be part of the four-member presidential delegation attending Tuesday’s inauguration of John Dramani Mahama as Ghana’s president.

Shalanda D. Young, the director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget, will lead the delegation to Accra, Ghana’s capital. It also consists of Virginia E. Palmer, the U.S. ambassador to Ghana, and Frances Z. Brown, special assistant to the president and the National Security Council’s senior director for African affairs.

As a congresswoman, Bass chaired the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights and International Organizations from 2019-22.

Bass is no longer a congresswoman. She took a job running a city. And decided to go off on a likely taxpayer-funded jaunt.

There were warnings of ‘life-threatening conditions’ from the National Weather Service. Bass chose to have her vacation in Africa. And with ballot harvesting, voters don’t matter, only activist groups do, resulting in a catastrophic leadership that openly shows disdain for the people it’s supposed to be working for.

This is the best government ballot harvesting can buy.
