They i guys i I'm a racist because I don't like Newsom he needs to be fired from being the governor of San Diego California he is a piece of shit and I im a old white woman
My cousin she doesn't care about the rich people whose houses had burned down.She only cares about the people that are not rich.And I told her that is so fucked up
That is beyond messed up. They are human, too. They are hurting, too. I don't know why people think rich folks are immune from hurting. Some may have more resources than us, but they are atill affected.
Karen Bass is a black racist with a anti white agenda. Whites living in California need to take a hard look at the socialist democrats that have destroyed California.
Only people making it about race are these black conservatives and their white leaders. They are ALL saying the exact same thing. All they talk about is DEI and their own black people. These ppl are a disgrace fr
When you get right down to the brass tacks, people in the government are the employees of those they govern, not just at the local level but at the federal level, too. Our taxes pay their wages, and we need to hold them accountable for their actions.
@@christianramir6147 The most criticized person on the planet? Democrats cant handle criticism. They have extremely low expectations of their leaders apparently.
She's the one that asked to be put in that position, no one forced it on her. If she can't take the criticism from all the citizens she represents no matter their color then she needs to resign.
It really is!!!! It makes me so angry. It's like we shield mediocrity as long as the one being mediocre is one of us. That makes it hard for the world to take us seriously!
It's not about non accountability... it's about the blame game going on BEFORE anyone knows anything. Let them get this under control and find out what hairnet do they can deal with it. You start blaming people before you even know the complete facts... that's what's wrong with this country.
Thank you so much for saying this. I’ve been called racist so many times for just saying that black culture is destroying the black community. It’s not a good thing to be a single mother, and it’s not cool to keep it real.
I was annoyed of the race card in the 90’s, at this point it’s just beyond annoying. She literally cut the fire budget and wants to play victim!!!! 🤦🏿♂️
She's the mayor for all, not just blk people. Her r@ce card is declined. Answer the questions, Mayor. It's the least you could do for the people you let down. People need answers.
I was born in California and I lived 29 years in Northern California and half of my family lives in southern Cali! My house burned down before I moved to NYC a couple years ago and when you loose everything it’s traumatic. California was an amazing place, but things have changed so much. I don’t care what gender or color you are if you are not the right person for the job get out. This is becoming ridiculous
Incompetence doesn't have a skin color, it comes in all forms. Karen Bass is one of them. If that makes me racist, oh well, that word means very little these days.
I called out Karen Bass on the Los Angeles subreddit a few months ago and got downvoted into oblivion. They couldn’t say much though because I was right and I’m a _”P.O.C.”_ 🤓
@@rickysession2031 no... they actually shouldn't. I live here and seeing it from HERE. WATCHING it live all day. You guys don't know what you're talking about.
It would be more racist to not hold her to the standards we hold other races to. If she were a white man, the same criticism would be warranted. If we held her to less stringent standards, we would be openly saying that we don’t believe she’s capable of the same levels of leadership
Kamala was fun to laugh at… all the memes 😂….. Karen bass on the other hand is just disgusting gross and a complete joke! She is by far the most hated woman on the west coast and the most hated man is Gavin newsom
The fact that she didn't even have a prepared statement was mind boggling; you mean to tell me she thought she was going to get all the way to her office and not be ask a question.
Incompetence knows no race... but it wasn't even ABOUT race until people started planting that idea into everyone. I can remember when identity politics wasn't constantly on everyone's minds... I don't understand what happened.
So true! Let me tell you something about Karen Bass. In the 70's she traveled to Cuba multiple times to take part in a group connected to Castro, that was teaching leftist/communist Americans like her things like bomb making, creating social unrest as well as indoctrinating them with Marxist ideologies. Idk how someone like that ever gets elected to office in this country, but it is California. The same state that just blew most of its budget on the "homeless" problem, although none of the money can be accounted for. And when the fires first began, she was on her way to Africa, almost like she was creating an Alibi. It really makes you wonder, what's really going on there. Especially because Governor Newsom is complicit in creating this disaster by neglecting the areas prone to wildfires. While also destroying almost all the dams on major river sources that provide most of LA's water supply. Then you hear stories of homeless people running around with blowtorches and flamethrowers, who are either responsible for the fires or are just exacerbating the situation. Even when you see some of the aerial photos, all the homes are destroyed, but the forest surrounding them is perfectly fine. It makes no sense...,
New man was talking to the governor of Hawaii about his possible real estate adventures in LA. Hawaii governor was giving him pointers. New man was moving from side to side as if he was elated. Now imagine, someone asking to buy your property while the embers are still burning. I smell something.
This is why San Francisco is in the state that it's in. London Breed did nothing for the 6 years she was mayor of that city. No one criticized her for the same reason. Mayor Bass needs to resign. And black women should not take this personally. It's not because she is completely incompetent.
Every leader in California needs to resign not just Karen bass or newsom. The chief of firefighters needs to resign, anyone who had a part of this destruction. That gay firefighter had one main job make sure the fire hydrants was filled with water
Most didn't have insurance because the insurance refused to cover them due to California not clearing brush and cleaning up the forests. From what I've been listening to, governor newsome passed the bill that did that. Just putting it out there in case you haven't heard.
It was actually more that insurance companies couldn't charge the premium they needed to charge once they considered California wasn't clearing brush and the forests and so forth. Insurance companies will insure very high risk properties and do so all the time (I've seen premiums equivalent to around $34000 USD on $400 000 USD homes). If the cost works out, they can do it and do, regularly. All over the world. The premiums would have been sky high because of the mismanagement, but they would have been at least an option. Instead, there was no option. You'd be surprised how many people pay high premiums. At one point my company actually put a cap in of no premiums above $20K USD, because they thought no one would pay it on a $400-600K house. They removed it and allowed full premiums to be charged within I think 6 months because too many people paid it.
To quote A Bug's Life: first rule of being leader, everything is your fault. Seriously though, If an emergency happens, it require diligence and nonstop concern for the safety of the people. One life lost is too many.
I’m a General contractor and people invest their entire life savings and entrust it to me to build their house. I don’t blame things on other people when things go wrong I fix the problem! She is not a leader in my opinion. I do a lot of work in California and often for many different colors and cultures of people and also crew members. Virtue signaling doesn’t work when things are not getting done and sometimes I have to make tough decisions to get the job done regardless of who I am dealing with.
This is a very smart lady here. I'm the first one to stand up against racism, however, the legitimate complaints against the Mayor of LA are understandable considering the facts.
Using race or sex or sexuality as a shield against criticism leads to bad choices being made and it’s the hole community and in some instances the country that is going to be paying for that being allowed . Everyone who runs and gets into whatever office of government is going to face criticism it’s how you respond to that criticism that matters.
And it's why I didn't vote for Kamala. I don't like Trump but I couldn't stomach a country where a "black" female won and everything and anything critical said against her would result in me being vilified flor being a racist and sexist for four years. People are tired of this shit in 12 different ways and if the dems are too stupid to dig deep on why they lost? Too bad.
My dad is black & my mum is white , so does that make me grey? Im sick of people playing the racist card when things dont go their way or they play the victim .
Something people forget it’s how hard it is to get your birth certificate, passport, ids and social security ones you lost everything! It took me years it was horrible
At first, I was outraged by the typical non-performance of the California Democrat politician. Having spent a better part of a decade dealing with that particular group. Honestly, you have to have your own bailout plan. Checking into fireproofing your roof and utilizing fireproof paint. I had a swimming pool when I lived in Southern California it had a fire hose pump attachment. Yes, the politicians in California are complete epic failures and this won't be the last time. At the house I owned I had replaced the roof it had the old-style shake shingles that burn super fast. I also did the clearing of my property of old dried-out brush. I sought out plants and details that were fire-resistant. I had an old-style pump house for a well and I got the crap fined out of me on that. I had to convert to county water. I did the conversion but kept the pump house for my lawn and it had a fire attachment for hoses and fire trucks. California politicians and bureaucrats are the absolute worst. Over time I got tired of it and finally moved. PS. If someone uses the race card with you obviously that person sucks so much that is all they can contribute.
This is why the community will always be in competition or behind other groups that are fresh off of the boat. They don’t let their own mistreat them and abuse their power and not hold them accountable like we always seem to do
Everything you said is correct. Karen Bass should not be running the city. She has no idea what she is doing. LA needs a politician who actually cares about the city and the citizens.
So sad that these people have to go through this tragedy, this is the reason when these people ran for these positions, there should be a committee hearing, because the responsibility that these job carries should be someone competent and trustworthy about the seriousness that these positions carries, if I was in her position I would just resign, to many people are hurting and she refused to speak, great video
Fun lil tid bit i heard through the grape vine: supposedly a lot of LA residents weren't even able to get fire insurance because of a bill being passed that capped insurance prices, driving out providers from the state considering premiums would have to be high there. This basically means it wasn't even really an option if you could even afford it.
@scottodonnell7121 not sure... possibly one thats recieving a big enough down payment? Realistically, they're probably having some sort of low-grade but effecient level of insurance that doesn't cover fires. The bare minimum if you will.
If you pay taxes you deserve to complain about the public servants you pay for no matter what color you are and no matter what color/identity they are. Period.
Let’s face it..The Kardashians, whether people like them or not🤷🏻♀️they pay (all together) millions in taxes. They sure have the right to criticize. They have every right as tax payers.
I wouldn't be a great politician, mostly because I hate hate HATE the idea of being in the public eye, but even I would be a better politician than her.
Keep in mind people had insurance, their insurance was canceled months before this fire by the insurance companies. To say it’s on them when it comes to their insurance or lack thereof…no it’s not.
This is true...but that is only recently true. Some people didn't have insurance before the insurance companies pupled out. Secondly, I sould venture to say there are more renters in Cali than honeowners.But, your point is valid.
@ I’m from here, live here, born and raised here. Legally, we need insurance, most mortgage companies force you to pay your insurance and property taxes through them. Especially if you bought in recent years. Trust me, no one in that area did not have insurance because it was by choice. Either they were dropped or the insurance was so high they could not afford it. Some went from paying hundreds a year to thousands a year just for insurance. One guy mentioned his insurance was 500 a year a jumped to 7,000 a year in his area. My state is in shambles and yes I blame leadership at the state and local level. Yes, we have more renters and that’s because they make it impossible to own, just like New York City.
I'm white. I don't know her from Adam. But everything points to the fact that she should be criticized. I'm not racist. I just can't stand incompetence and smugness after the fact!
Thank you so much for bringing up the brush that has not been cleaned up for years. I have been yelling and talking about this for so long and it would have slowed any fire down substantially
In Norway, where I am from, a leader would begin with empathy rather than this approach! It is astonishing how little compassion is evident in the speeches delivered by Karen Bass.
Thank YOU for saying this!!!! She said that she would NOT leave on trips while she was in office when she was campaigning! No one has addressed this? What about all the people with electric cars that could not charge them with the power outages so they could not get out when told to do so??????? NO one has said a word about them!!!
Not everyone is calling her a DEI hire, but you are right...I have seen that sentiment and I will address that in an upcoming video because I am sick of that trend.
@ I love and have fought for my country but it’s dying cause people high and low won’t stop forcing everything to be about race. Sure there are race issues that need to be addressed but not everything.
I always say " Are you black enough to say that?" My woman is 25 % black and has been hated on more by Black people then other races. Just my reality and hers of coarse. Thx for shedding light on that.
Politicians should know that when it comes to blame,they're like quarterbacks. I remember Bush(W)being blamed not just for poor response to Katrina but in some corners for creating the hurricane. If you want the title,earn it,win it,but take on all that comes with it.

I did the conversion but kept the pump house for my lawn and it had a fire attachment for hoses and fire trucks. California politicians and bureaucrats are the absolute worst. Over time I got tired of it and finally moved. PS. If someone uses the race card with you obviously that person sucks so much that is all they can contribute.
Some of the insurance companies pulled out of California because of all these fires and price caps that was placed on the insurance policies
This is why the community will always be in competition or behind other groups that are fresh off of the boat. They don’t let their own mistreat them and abuse their power and not hold them accountable like we always seem to do
So if you're black you're a saint and shouldn't be criticized?
I wonder if the one drop rule still applies?
Are you serious??? It’s this kind of WOKE CRAP that lead to this disaster!!
$17 million didn't mean as much to me as hearing that it equals a 1/3 cut of LAFD's budget. 1/3 is a huge cut!
Everything you said is correct. Karen Bass should not be running the city. She has no idea what she is doing. LA needs a politician who actually cares about the city and the citizens.
Using skin color to dodge criticism , it’s not working
I think Mayor Bass thought her newly appointed Fire Chief would take care of things.
So sad that these people have to go through this tragedy, this is the reason when these people ran for these positions, there should be a committee hearing, because the responsibility that these job carries should be someone competent and trustworthy about the seriousness that these positions carries, if I was in her position I would just resign, to many people are hurting and she refused to speak, great video
Thanks so much. Why take a leadership job and not want to do it. Juat resign.
Her and Newsome both need to step down.
If you can't take criticism don't do the job. That's politics.
Fun lil tid bit i heard through the grape vine: supposedly a lot of LA residents weren't even able to get fire insurance because of a bill being passed that capped insurance prices, driving out providers from the state considering premiums would have to be high there. This basically means it wasn't even really an option if you could even afford it.
How can you get a mortgage for a house that can't be insured? What bank would do that?
@scottodonnell7121 not sure... possibly one thats recieving a big enough down payment? Realistically, they're probably having some sort of low-grade but effecient level of insurance that doesn't cover fires. The bare minimum if you will.
Worst mayor ever period
If you pay taxes you deserve to complain about the public servants you pay for no matter what color you are and no matter what color/identity they are. Period.
She ran for office saying she would not take international trips. Been on 5 already.
Anybody that pays taxes out there has a right to criticize Bass. Saying white people can't do that is stupid and racists
Let’s face it..The Kardashians, whether people like them or not🤷🏻♀️they pay (all together) millions in taxes. They sure have the right to criticize. They have every right as tax payers.
Just stand there and pretend no questions are being asked.
I wouldn't be a great politician, mostly because I hate hate HATE the idea of being in the public eye, but even I would be a better politician than her.
Karen Bass left and her assistant governor was suspended! No one was in charge that in itself is incompetence !
Keep in mind people had insurance, their insurance was canceled months before this fire by the insurance companies. To say it’s on them when it comes to their insurance or lack thereof…no it’s not.
This is true...but that is only recently true. Some people didn't have insurance before the insurance companies pupled out. Secondly, I sould venture to say there are more renters in Cali than honeowners.But, your point is valid.
@ I’m from here, live here, born and raised here. Legally, we need insurance, most mortgage companies force you to pay your insurance and property taxes through them. Especially if you bought in recent years. Trust me, no one in that area did not have insurance because it was by choice. Either they were dropped or the insurance was so high they could not afford it. Some went from paying hundreds a year to thousands a year just for insurance. One guy mentioned his insurance was 500 a year a jumped to 7,000 a year in his area. My state is in shambles and yes I blame leadership at the state and local level. Yes, we have more renters and that’s because they make it impossible to own, just like New York City.
If criticizing Karen Bass makes me a racist, then a racist I will regrettably have to be.
Sorry everyone, looks like I'm a racist now.
Sooo good to see someone see's that we all bleed red! Screw up, get called out no matter what!
I'm white. I don't know her from Adam. But everything points to the fact that she should be criticized. I'm not racist. I just can't stand incompetence and smugness after the fact!
I love your centred and fair approach to issues. Always look forward to your videos. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for bringing up the brush that has not been cleaned up for years. I have been yelling and talking about this for so long and it would have slowed any fire down substantially
You are so welcome!
In Norway, where I am from, a leader would begin with empathy rather than this approach! It is astonishing how little compassion is evident in the speeches delivered by Karen Bass.
This is what true journalism is about! Keep doing the great work! 💕
Thank you so much!
Thank YOU for saying this!!!! She said that she would NOT leave on trips while she was in office when she was campaigning!
No one has addressed this? What about all the people with electric cars that could not charge them with the power outages so they could not get out when told to do so??????? NO one has said a word about them!!!
There are people criticizing her because of race calling her a DEI hire. Even though she’s terrible as hell at her job they bring up race.
Not everyone is calling her a DEI hire, but you are right...I have seen that sentiment and I will address that in an upcoming video because I am sick of that trend.
@ I love and have fought for my country but it’s dying cause people high and low won’t stop forcing everything to be about race. Sure there are race issues that need to be addressed but not everything.
The governor the mayor and the fire chiefs should go to jail
I always say " Are you black enough to say that?" My woman is 25 % black and has been hated on more by Black people then other races. Just my reality and hers of coarse. Thx for shedding light on that.
Precisely!!!!
Your true observations are noted. The mayor's pride goes before her incompetence.
The irony of people defending her incompetence just cause she's a black woman, and calling people racist for calling her out is INSANE 💀
IM A BLK MAN, AND NO MATTER WHAT RACE YOU ARE 🤔. YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO CRITICIZE THIS UTTER INCOMPETENCE 🫡!!!
KEEP MACKIN ✌🏾
DEI is more important than fires
Politicians should know that when it comes to blame,they're like quarterbacks. I remember Bush(W)being blamed not just for poor response to Katrina but in some corners for creating the hurricane. If you want the title,earn it,win it,but take on all that comes with it.
Unqualified DEI Hire needs to be recalled for gross negligence!
You can't call a politician out for incompetance unless your the same race as them? Ya,that makes alot of sense.
I’ve heard that a lot of people had their fire insurance cancelled by the insurance companies a few months ago
