Expect More Disasters From Democrats Who Replace Competence With DEI Credentials

Nobody cares whether you are the first female, black mayor of Los Angeles if you’re incapable of leading through the crisis.

For more than a week now, residents of Southern California like myself have been on the receiving end of texts and calls from friends and relatives confirming we were out of harm’s way from the fires ravaging Los Angeles County.  

I received such a text from a friend who lives in Alabama. After I told him we were south of the fires and safe, he asked how such sweeping tragedies could happen in a place like Los Angeles. Unable to resist the opening, I told him the government in California generally, and in Los Angeles County specifically, had become bloated, wasteful, and sclerotic and was no longer capable or interested in serving its citizens. The fires and the government’s inability to respond to them were tragic and heartbreaking but in the end, not surprising to anyone who has been paying attention. California had been staggering towards some sort of disaster for some time.
