Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, a Democrat, cut more than $17 million from the fire department’s budget. But she allocated tens of thousands of dollars for “social justice art” and $100,000 for a “transgender cafe.”
The “Midnight Stroll Transgender Cafe” was meant to provide a “safe haven for unsheltered transgender individuals in Hollywood.
It could also be a cafe where you order a tuna melt, but the waitress brings you a cheeseburger that identifies as a tuna melt.
Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) blasted Mayor Bass as well as Gov. Gavin Newsom, accusing the government of failing the citizens of southern California. Watch the entire interview below.
“Just seeing these scenes of absolute total destruction, these apocalyptic scenes. I mean, it is it is shocking. It is surreal,” the congressman told me on my Newsmax show.
Kiley said California needs to get back to basics: “Manage our forests. Store our water. Maintain our grid. Build our roads. Fund our police and fire. Do the things government is supposed to do, do them well, and do nothing else.”
“It is the culmination of years and years of policy failure in California, where we’ve had absolutely insane forest management policies, insane water policies. We haven’t adequately prioritized support for firefighting. We’ve had an insurance crisis that’s been spiraling out of control,” he said. “We have by far the worst homelessness situation in the entire country. And and homelessness leads to a lot of fires as well. And all of this has gotten much, much worse during the Newsom administration.”
