"Arrr! Mayor Karen Bass declared to the NY Times in 2021, 'No foreign voyages fer this captain while I steer L.A.!'"

Arrr, in the year of our Lord 2021, Captain Karen Bass, seekin' the mayor's treasure in Los Angeles, did proclaim to the fine folk at The New York Times, "If I seize the crown, no more sailin’ the seven seas fer me!" Aye, a landlubber she’d be!
Ahoy mateys! Gather 'round as I regale ye with the curious tale of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, a lass who once proclaimed, “Nay will I voyage beyond the seas!” But lo and behold, whilst the flames danced like scallywags upon her fair city, she found herself gallivantin’ in Ghana!Back in 2021, the good mayor declared, “I be bound to stay, only to D.C., Sacramento, and the likes!” But, with a wink to the skies, she set sail to the shores of Mexico and basked in the glow of Paris not once, but thrice! As her city smoldered, reporters bombarded her upon her return, questioning her absence amidst the chaos. “Do ye owe an apology?” they cried, but the mayor kept her eyes glued to the ground like a guilty deckhand.
Her spokesperson claimed she was all about keepin’ the good folk safe, but many a landlubber wondered why she chose Ghana over the fiery blazes back home. The irony was thick, as she was once quick to chastise others for abandonin’ their posts in troubled times. Alas, her grand promises have been shattered like a ship upon the rocks! Arrr, what a ruckus!
