High school sports team cannot be for boys or girls, under the leftist ideologies demanded by Joe Biden while he was in office, ideas that President Donald Trump now is purging from the government. They had to be “equitable.”

So had to be hiring practices even for jobs that demand extraordinary skills, such as military positions.

Federal grants, likewise. Literally everything had to be “equitable.”

So with Los Angeles facing a massive rebuilding program after wildfires destroyed an estimated 12,000 buildings, mostly homes, the mayor’s priority is to be “equitable.”

“The owners of Palisades better get those recall petitions ready,” explained one social media post about the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of mega-fancy homes and properties, as Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, a longtime leftist, “plans to hire an outside consultant to rebuild Palisades ‘in a more equitable and environmentally sustainable way.'”

The mayor of LA is going full communist.

Elon Musk warned, “The mayor of LA is going full communist,” while citing reports of her intention to rebuild through an “outside consultant.”

“Recall her before it is too late,” he warned.

Others cited evidence of her mismanagement.

A report from the Independent Sentinel noted she’s made her decision “without any consultant with the residents.”

It explained, “The firm will represent the city’s interests in the wildfire recovery process, including performing damage assessments, monitoring air and water quality, interacting with various federal agencies, and ensuring that the city gets as much federal reimbursement as possible, according to chief recovery officer Steve Soboroff.”

Soboroff also hinted that the city would control any federal money allocated, the report said.

President Donald Trump recently, visiting the stricken zones, said people needed to be allowed to get to their properties and start work as they wish, more or less immediately.

A commentary at HotAir explained that the city’s response to the catastrophe has been so bad that its mostly leftist residents are revolting.

In fact, the report cited a polling that said 43% of residents now would consider Republican leadership in the city. While still 46% said no, the support for the GOP is at the highest level in years.

“Rather than follow predictable partisan patterns, voters in LA are fed up with failure and are demanding more competence from their elected officials,” said Madison McQueen, of Owen Brennan. “Clearly there is an opportunity for new leadership, new ideas, and new direction for Los Angeles. Across LA County, most voters say fire hydrants running dry should be cause for political leaders to lose their jobs. Voters also blamed one-party rule for the lack of sufficient water storage.”

It was KABC’s John Phillips who had editorialized about L.A. and its politics: “No water in the reservoir? That’s global warming. Forgot to tell the fire department that there’s no water in the reservoir? File that under, ‘Global warming is worse than you think.'”

The polling revealed only 37% approve of Bass’ performance, and 54% give her a thumbs-down.

There’s already a new recall campaign against Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The report said, “There are limits to what people, even California Democrats, are willing to put up with. Mayor Karen Bass may have exceeded those limits this month.”
