California News:
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass just signed an agreement with Finland creating a partnership to confront climate change – together.
Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg announced Thursday that he will bring a resolution to the city council calling for a cease-fire in Israel and Gaza.
The urge to scream “Stay in your lane” to these mayors is strong. Especially when they are responsible for the horrific physical and social decay in both cities.

“The [Sacramento] mayor’s office said the resolution comes after months of discussions with Muslim, Jewish and other community members. The office calls it ‘a balanced approach to a complex situation,’” KCRA reported.
This “complex situation” is taking place in Israel – not in a Sacramento suburb.
As for the climate agreement LA Mayor Bass signed with Finland – a country 4,788 miles away – Mayor Bass said, “…with the current climate crisis, we know we need to take bold action. The City of Los Angeles is grateful for our partnership with Finland as we continue to explore innovative ways to confront the climate crisis and strengthen business, investment, and green jobs in our region. To achieve our shared climate goals, we need to lock arms internationally to accelerate our progress.”
What? And why? How will this agreement improve the lives of the people of Los Angeles?
For that matter, how will Mayor Steinberg’s resolution calling for a cease-fire in Israel and Gaza improve the lives of the people of Sacramento?
Quick answer – it won’t, and Mayor Steinberg knows that it won’t.
This resolution recognizes the importance of a safe and secure Israel and an independent Palestinian state, the mayor’s office said.
“The resolution contains language important to all sides,” Steinberg said in a press release. “It also includes some provisions that each side would write differently if they wrote it themselves. That is the nature of principled compromise.”
“We may not be able to create peace in the Middle East, but we can model what we want to see throughout the world here in our own city,” Steinberg added.
Neither the resolution nor agreement will lower taxes, crime rates, or utility bills. Neither action will make streets safer for residents, or get homeless drug addicts off of city streets or out of the parks. Neither agreement will improve traffic congestion or fix potholes, or update aging sewer systems. Neither agreement will erase the massive budget deficit each city has.
Neither Mayor Bass nor Mayor Steinberg has ever led anything, much less anything successfully. They must appear as if they are leaders and are doing something important. So they issue resolutions, they make proclamations and sign agreements with foreign countries.
“Darrell Steinberg is one of Sacramento’s most accomplished public servants, serving the Sacramento community for over 20 years,” his own bio claims. “Mayor Darrell Steinberg has delivered again and again on his promises to Sacramento,” he claims. Yet the lives of Sacramento residents are degrading, even as the city hikes taxes and fees, while lowering services.
Predictably, Steinberg got the local Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Sacramento Valley/Central California Executive Director to comment positively on his resolution.
However, missing from the press release is a statement from a local Rabbi or Jewish Community leader. Steinberg instead used a statement from former City Councilman Jay Schenirer, calling him a “Jewish community leader.”
At least Steinberg acknowledges the futility of this vanity project. The first line says:
“Nothing we say or do in Sacramento may change the course of the war for Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank.”
The same goes for Mayor Bass’s agreement with Finland – there is even a “non-binding agreement” statement in it:
“This Letter of Intent is a voluntary initiative that does not create any legally binding rights or obligations. The activities described in this Letter of Intent are not conditioned upon reciprocal actions by other Participants. Any Participant may, at any time, withdraw from this Letter of Intent by providing a written notice to the other Participants. This Letter of Intent will be construed and carried out in a manner consistent with all applicable laws, and is not intended to supersede local, federal, or international laws or obligations by which the Participants are bound.
Mayor Bass and Mayor Steinberg have once again demonstrated they are hopelessly incompetent and ineffective, making them mostly useless to the people of Los Angeles and Sacramento.
