Furious Los Angeles residents tore into their absent Mayor Karen Bass, who was 7,400 miles away in Arica on a political trip as raging fires turned the City of Angels into an apocalyptic hellscape Tuesday.
“RESIGN! WHY ARE YOU IN GHANA?!,” one person commented on an X post by Bass’ office giving an update on the wildfires
Bass traveled with three other people to Ghana for the inaguration of President John Dramani Mahama, who was elected last year.
“Hey Karen! How’s Ghana?” another person asked. “LA you ask? Yeah it’s burning to the f–king ground but it’s better you’re not here anyways because you’re useless.”Others demanded that Bass, who took office in 2022, resign from her post.
“You’re a disgrace & embarrassment to our country,” one comment read.
“You need to resign you incompetent fool,” said another.
According to Fox LA, Bass was heading back to Los Angeles.
Former US Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell also noted Bass’ absence in a post on X, writing, “The national media hasn’t even mentioned that Karen Bass is in Africa while our city is literally burning to the ground.”

PolitiFact, a disgraced, fake, far-left, unofficial propaganda arm of the Democrat party, is already melting down over the bombshell news Tuesday that Facebook will no longer allow them or any of the media’s fake fact-checkers to censor and blacklist conservative opinions.
We can now discuss things like “gender” and “immigration” openly.
Mark said so.
Tuesday morning, Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg told the corporate media to kiss his ass in a video where he announced an end to “censorship” on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Further, more than once, he referred to the corporate media with the red-pilled term “legacy media.”
“We’re going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms,” he said. “More specifically, here’s what we’re going to do. First, we’re going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes similar to X, starting in the U.S.”
“The legacy media pushed to censor more and more,” he said. “After Trump first got elected in 2016, the legacy media wrote non-stop how misinformation was harming democracy.”
Zuckerberg claims he is not only reversing these policies, he will work with incoming President Trump to “push back on governments around the world going after American companies and pushing to censor more.”
Before we get to PolitiFact crybabying, allow me to sum up what’s happening here… For the first time since the creation of mass media a hundred years ago, we are witnessing an end to the bad guys having control over the flow of information — control over what debate is acceptable, what questions are asked, what is and is not covered, what does and does not matter. In other words: The Narrative.
We all saw it yesterday on January 6, as the corporate media pleasured themselves pretending that a mostly peaceful protest where no one brought weapons was an “insurrection.” Nobody listened. No one cared. The media are Chubby Checker still singing “The Twist” in 1991 while Normal People focus on what matters — the future at the hands of a president who actually loves his country.
Yes, we should be wary of Zuckerberg’s transformation into a red-pilled believer in free speech, but maybe — just maybe — this is who he really is. Maybe Trump’s reelection triumph in the face of 100 percent media opposition showed Zuckerberg that the media’s hold on power is an illusion. Maybe Elon Musk thriving in the face of 100 percent media opposition drove the point home again. Whatever his intentions, Zuckerberg had a clear choice between MAGA and the legacy media, and he not only chose MAGA, he called the media and their fake fact-checkers “censors” and “biased” and announced a total end to their influence on Facebook and Instagram, two of the most powerful communication tools ever created.
So, of course, the fascists at PolitiFact are butthurt. No more can they tell a billion-plus Facebook and Instagram users that lies are truth. No more can they intimidate Normal People from speaking a truth or floating a crazy idea (Biden’s dementia) that might actually turn out to be true. No more can they control the debate, the questions asked, or what we as free people wish to discuss and how we wish to discuss it.
PolitiFact and their big daddy backers at the fascist Poynter do not give a damn about democracy or free speech. What they want is to empower the state by disempowering the individual’s right to be an individual.
Therefore…
This. Is. Glorious…
The bad guys are finally-finally-finally losing.
They are losing so bad, you can listen to the lamentations of their women:
No one’s watching CNN or MSNBC.
The Washington Post is collapsing.
The New York Times is beholden to its far-left subscribers and lives in that echo chamber.
The Los Angeles Times is openly courting Trump supporters.
And now, Xwitter, Facebook, and Instagram — the public square — are free of the legacy media’s evil and corrupt influence.
If villains like PolitiFact can no longer control how we talk to one another online, they have nothing.
Everything changed today. We must remain vigilant with Bond villains like Mark Zuckerberg, but everything changed, and the lamentations of their women prove it.
John Nolte’s first and last novel, Borrowed Time, is winning five-star raves from everyday readers. You can read an excerpt here and an in-depth review here. Also available in hardcover and on Kindle and Audiobook.
President-elect Donald Trump revealed Tuesday that he would not rule out using military force to annex Greenland, leaving many Americans asking: “But why?”
In fact, the ice-covered Danish territory, the largest island in the world, has long been a hot topic among strategists in Washington and elsewhere — despite Copenhagen’s insistence it is not for sale — due to its location along vital shipping routes and the presence of key raw materials that are rarely found anywhere else.
“Why? A few critical reasons,” a source close to the Trump transition efforts told The Post on Tuesday when asked about the president-elect’s goal. “Sending a strong, deliberate message to Beijing. Not just talk. Action. Making America Ambitious Again.
“And the president-elect is laying out the early framework of the ‘Trump Doctrine.'”
The US is currently locked in a three-cornered fight with China as well as Russia over the Arctic region’s natural resources — such as lithium, cobalt and graphite, according to the Wilson Center, a foreign policy-focused think tank in Washington.
“There are two main reasons [to annex Greenland]. The first is the large deposits of rare earth elements needed for critical defense and electronics manufacturing,” Atlantic Council nonresident fellow Alex Plitsas told The Post.
“Second, Greenland has a legitimately large claim to the Arctic and that would provide the US with a stronger position as competition there heats up for navigation and resources.”
As the 40th anniversary of Yitshaq Ben-Ami’s Yartzeit has just passed, the chasm between father and son reveals a painful and dramatic betrayal. Their differing approaches to Israel advocacy demonstrate how the once united cause of support for Eretz Yisroel has fractured across generations, culminating in Jeremy Ben-Ami’s stark break from the ideals his father so ardently upheld. The tale of the betrayal can be read in a newly released book entitled, “J Street UnMasked.”
Facebook is to scrap its fact-checking programme after founder Mark Zuckerberg pledged to “restore free expression” on the social network.
Mr Zuckerberg on Tuesday promised that parent company Meta would “get rid of fact-checkers” and replace them with a system of “community notes, similar to X”, echoing the approach of rival billionaire Elon Musk.
It follows the exit of Sir Nick Clegg, the former deputy prime minister and Liberal Democrat leader, as the tech giant’s head of global affairs, a role in which he led a crackdown on hate speech.
Sir Nick has been replaced by the former Republican Party operator Joel Kaplan, who will lead Facebook’s public policy operations.
In a further sign of the company’s shift towards the Right, Mr Zuckerberg this week appointed longstanding Donald Trump ally Dana White, the chief executive of Ultimate Fighting Championship, as a board member.
Mr Zuckerberg said: “Fact-checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they have created.”
He added that Facebook would “get rid of a bunch of restrictions” on topics including gender and immigration amid a wider corporate backlash against diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Mr Zuckerberg said: “What started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions.”
The Facebook founder said the technology company had gone too far in tackling “disinformation” in the wake of Mr Trump’s election victory in 2016, amid fears over Russian meddling and fake news, adding that “we’ve reached a point where it’s just too many mistakes and too much censorship”.
He has previously accused Joe Biden’s White House of pressuring Facebook to censor content around coronavirus, saying: “I regret we were not more outspoken about it.”
The decision to ditch some of Facebook’s core moderation policies comes after the departure of Sir Nick, previously one of Mr Zuckerberg’s key lieutenants who was closely involved in the decision to suspend Mr Trump from Facebook in 2021.
Fact checking by experts will be replaced with something like the community notes system pioneered on X, where users can add their own checks to controversial statements.
Speaking to Fox on Tuesday, Mr Kaplan said: “Instead of going to some so-called expert, it instead relies on the community and the people on the platform to provide their own commentary to something that they’ve read.”
He added: “We have a new administration coming in that is far from pressuring companies to censor and [is more] a huge supporter of free expression.”
The loosening of online moderation follows Mr Musk’s takeover of X, formerly Twitter, and his decision to implement a system of “community notes”, where users fact-check posts and videos on the social media site.
Currently, Facebook relies on a network of third-party fact-checkers and news groups to report and flag posts that are spreading disinformation. These include news agencies like Reuters and AFP and smaller groups such as the UK’s Full Fact.
The changes will raise questions over the future of Facebook’s “Oversight Board”, which was set up to review the tech giant’s moderation decisions and is made up of public figures including the Alan Rusbridger, the former Guardian editor.
It will also raise questions over whether user-generated community notes will be enough to tackle coordinated disinformation campaigns by hostile nations.
Mr Zuckerberg admitted the changes would mean Facebook will “catch less bad stuff”.
In a statement, the Oversight Board said: “The Oversight Board welcomes the news that Meta will revise its approach to fact-checking, with the goal of finding a scalable solution to enhance trust, free speech and user voice on its platforms.”
Mr Zuckerberg added that Facebook planned to “work with President Trump to push back on governments around the world that are going after American companies and pushing to censor more”.
It comes as Britain prepares to implement the Online Safety Act, starting in March.
The bill proposes a 60-day timeline to implement these sanctions and seeks to halt U.S. funding to the ICC.

The detainees, none of whom have been charged with a crime, will be resettled in Oman as the Biden administration moves to wind down operations at the notorious detention facility.
“Although different processes, each of the Yemeni detainees underwent a thorough, interagency review by career professionals who unanimously determined all detainees as transfer eligible consistent with the national security interests of the United States,” the Department of Defense said in a statement.
The Pentagon noted that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin notified Congress in 2023 of his intent to repatriate the 11 Yemeni detainees to Oman.
“The United States appreciates the willingness of the Government of Oman and other partners to support ongoing U.S. efforts focused on responsibly reducing the detainee population and ultimately closing the Guantanamo Bay facility,” the DoD said.
Moath Hamza Ahmed al-Alwi, an alleged al Qaeda fighter and bodyguard for Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan, was one of the 11 men released.
An unclassified 2016 US intelligence file on al-Alwi warns that as a GITMO detainee he “has made several statements since early 2016 that suggest he maintains an extremist mindset.”
The file also notes that al-Alwi has committed a number of disciplinary infractions while in detention that were “pardoned” as part of an “incentive for detainees to improve their conduct.”
Suhayl Abdul Anam al Sharabi, another alleged bin Laden bodyguard, was also released.
Al Sharabi’s 2020 intelligence file notes that he “may have been associated with an aborted 9/11-style hijacking plot in Southwest Asia” as a member of al Qaeda.
The nine others being released to Oman are: Uthman Abd al-Rahim Muhammad Uthman, Khalid Ahmed Qassim, Hani Saleh Rashid Abdullah, Tawfiq Nasir Awad Al-Bihani, Omar Mohammed Ali al-Rammah, Sanad Ali Yislam Al Kazimi, Hassan Muhammad Ali Bib Attash, Sharqawi Abdu Ali Al Hajj and Abd Al-Salam Al-Hilah.
The latest batch of transfers follows the Pentagon’s December announcement that detainee Ridah Bin Saleh al-Yazidi had been resettled in Tunisia.
Fifteen detainees remain at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, of whom three are eligible for transfer and three are eligible to have their detention status reviewed, according to the Pentagon.
Another seven inmates are involved in the military commissions process and two others have been convicted and sentenced by military commissions.
The Biden administration offered plea deals last year to alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and co-conspirators Walid Bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi. All three men have been held at Guantanamo Bay since 2003.
The deals, slammed by 9/11 families, Republican lawmakers and the defense secretary, will spare the alleged terrorists the death penalty.
Interviewing Schumer on Sunday, NBC News’ Kristen Welker played a clip of him in February claiming President Biden’s “mental acuity is great” and calling any suggestion otherwise “right-wing propaganda.”
She prodded Chuck to explain himself: “What do you say to Americans who feel as though you and other Democrats mislead them about President Biden’s mental acuity?”
Someone with an ounce of shame (or sense) might take the opportunity to grovel or at least apologize, but Schumer opted for a fresh whopper: “We didn’t. Let’s look at President Biden. He’s had an amazing record . . . He’s a great guy, and when he stepped down he did it on his own because he thought it was better, not only for the Democratic Party, for America.”
Did it on his own . . . with Nancy Pelosi’s knife to his neck and the party’s donors on strike.
And still no acknowledgment that Biden had been clearly, painfully, publicly failing for months even as Schumer & Co. insisted he could do four more years (as an animatronic figure, maybe).
Sunday, Chuck dodged “I’m not going to speculate” on whether Biden could’ve served a second term, when months earlier he was part of chorus insisting Joe was “sharp,” “detail-oriented” and “on his game” and denouncing the “right-wing propaganda” to the contrary.
Even though White House aides have now admitted to The Wall Street Journal that they started hiding Joe’s mental decline on Day 1 of his presidency.
Even before the disastrous debate, the truth was obvious to anyone watching the prez at any public event.
Yes, Chuck in private reportedly told Joe to drop out of the race in July. But he’s still in public denial.
It’s one thing for Schumer to drone on now about all the wonderful things the prez achieved, another entirely to pretend he wasn’t part of he obscene coverup.
He met face-to-face with Biden throughout, as he had with past presidents. One way or another, he had to realize the truth — but chose to play along with the lies.
Schumer’s not scrambling to salvage Biden’s legacy, but his own image.
By trying to re-peddle a fantasy that fell apart months ago, Chuck’s only proving that he and his party still can’t be trusted.
Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn’t there
He wasn’t there again today
Oh, how I wish he’d go away . . .
— Hughes Mearns
By Martin Gurri
January 20 will see the conclusion of the most extraordinary episode in the history of the American presidency. For the last four years, the supposed president, Joe Biden, has been the man who wasn’t there.
Bloody and historic events — Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Hamas’ pogrom in Israel and the subsequent five-cornered Israel-Iran war — have shaken the world, yet Biden wasn’t there.
Millions of non-Americans of every description, including terrorists, criminals, and members of the Cuban Communist Party, have swarmed over the Mexican border and flooded into our urban centers, costing billions of taxpayers’ dollars to support — and still Biden wasn’t there.
And speaking of money: Trillions were spent by a ramshackle administration that built nothing and achieved nothing, but did manage to trigger an inflationary spike, making food, cars, and housing less affordable to ordinary Americans — though Biden wasn’t there for this, either.
The president of the United States is supposed to preside — I mean, it’s in the title.
Biden didn’t because he couldn’t.
From the start of this term, we are now told, old age had grievously enfeebled his body and dimmed his mind — and the latter, let’s recall, never burned with particular brilliance.
The controllers who manage Biden worked hard to keep him away from his job. He spent 40% of his time in office on vacation, much of it slurping ice cream cones on the boardwalk at Rehoboth Beach.
Great gig, if you can get it.
