What if he intend to fix Grand Bahama, while helping Dominica?
We don't know what tomorrow holds, today it is Dominica, tomorrow it could be us.
Cast your bread upon the water and it will return to you many days after. This scripture/ or folk tale that some might call is true.

I, for the first time ever, wholeheartedly support 'proudandloud'.

Is there a blind eye being turned to Grand Bahama?

How does this guy get a hard on for Dominica but totally abandons GB?

Good list, except for number 5. That money would go to the Port Authority and they need to pay for some of the things they did to G.B.

I can do it much faster than you....in 1 step. Watch:
1. Give it to the USA.
...er, that's it.

Looks like you want to go back before 1967 when Freeport was booming and every one who wanted to work had no problems finding a job!

They all look like a bunch of space cadets.

WTF is the Christian Council doing there? Hasn't Minnis ever heard of separation of church and state? SMT.

I heard the President of the BUT went too.

Maybe the BUT needed some aerial photographs so the teachers may be given geography lessons.

Short answer: Minnis needs someone with a big mouth in his corner.

He he I dont mean to laugh but....:)

I learned this from Rachel Maddow... lol

"*The unofficial rule against presidents wearing unusual hats is widely credited to Democratic presidential nominee Michael Dukakis, whose decision to wear a tank-commander’s helmet during a ride in an M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank has been widely ridiculed to this day. Obama himself acknowledged the rule during a 2013 visit from the Naval Academy’s football team, which presented him with one of its helmets.Here’s the general rule: You don’t put stuff on your head if you’re president,” Obama said, explaining his refusal to put on the helmet that had been fitted for him. “That’s Politics 101. You never look good wearing something on your head."*"

(And "yes", I know they didn't have a choice. To take the helicopter ride they had to wear the protective gear.)

**Education Minister Jeffrey Lloyd acted as prime minister in his absence.**"

Was Peter Turnquest off island?

* Rub-a-dub-dub,
* Three stooges in a heli-tub,
* And who do they think they be?
* All three of them just pretending to be,
* Like they come from a very rich country!

*Seeing Minnis in the above photo reminds me
*of that famous Snoopy Tank photo that did not
*portray U.S. presidential hopeful Michael Dukakis
*in a very good way.

So regardless of what we think, you are going to do whatever you want. PLP did the same thing. Don't make us give you the tamarind switch too. We will!!!!

Or cutlass cutass

It will be interesting to know did they sign any road contracts??

Funny!!!

Bahamians generally support helping Dominica ...............The obsessive overreach is the point that Minnis is missing ...... for political brownie points!!!!!!! .............. Just give them a donation (200K) and let us get down to fixing our own broken country (thanks to Hurricane Perry).

Watching Minnis fawn over Dominica for two weeks is beginning to piss off most Bahamians.

Amen

A country divided...and the ignorance Island cold heartedness is being unveiled like peeling an onion in the hot sun with pepper dripping in ya eyes. Minnis needs to put on turbot skin like Hubert Ingraham did ant not listen to the noise in the market.

Donald Trump is asking Congress to release $29 BILLION to help pay for hurricane damage in Houston, Florida and Puerto Rico . 29 BILLION DOLLARS..,

And guess what? The parts of The United States that weren't affected by hurricanes will have to help pay this bill. And even more Trump (who we all hate sometimes) wants Puerto Rico's debt written off so they can get a new start. And y'all sitting here crying like lil heartless wimps because the prime minister is reaching out to Dominica in ways that are within reason. Cry shame on y'all!

Umm... all 3 places are a part of the US. That's like saying the government of The Bahamas has to pay for the damages in Grand Bahama, Ragged Island and Long Island after Irma. <br/>To make matters worse, although 3.4 million Americans live in Puerto Rico, Trump has shown a clear racist attitude to those Americans of color. <br/> On no GOOD day, will Trump ever be a good example to draw from - http://edition.cnn.com/2017/10/01/opini…
<br/> While I don't see harm in helping Dominica, blog posters here have a point about helping our own that are suffering as well. <br/> You don't want a man having a wife and children with nothing to eat, going out and giving food to another family with nothing to eat. NO! Feed BOTH. I think that's the sum of what everyone is saying it seems.

Throughout the general election campaign, Minnis relentlessly hammered the PLP for many of the hardships facing the Bahamian people today, in large part due to our crippled economy and the dire financial predicament of our government. The incessant mantra from Minnis on the campaign trail was: "It's the people's time!" Fast forward and now we find PM Minnis preferring to be much more concerned about our role in CARICOM, the Caribbean Region and the World. Has Minnis lost his marbles? Have the 'elitist trappings' of the PM's Office and role gone to his head? Has he somehow forgotten the clear mandate Bahamian voters gave him in a landslide election outcome? Something is definitely amiss in Minnis's dismissive behavior and attitude towards our underprivileged and needy brothers and sisters right here at home. Minnis's doubling down on a past mistake he made in shooting-from-the-hip will not bode well for him politically or the Bahamian people socially and economically. Minnis must get off of his high horse and start doing what he was elected to do - the Bahamian people's business! And it is beneath the Office of the PM for Minnis to double down on a past mistake by using the 'Christian card', much like the 'race card' was used by previous PLP administrations. Minnis must get off of his high horse and start doing what he was elected to do - the Bahamian people's business!

HAHJAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA. . . .and the beat goes on. . .what a group of sour grapes. . .keep on keeping on doc!! By the way. . .dem "buckets" on they heads did look funny nah! But standard practice in them Americans helos or any of their planes is ware ya protective gear. . .now could yall stop talking crap and talk like yinna have some sense and are not just jealous of the doc and "picking" at every lil thing! All dem dumb crap about the freeport list of "to do". For example, open that road. . .why? so people dem can go on to private property and "tief" every thing that is not nailed down? And further more peanut gallery. . .that is private property. . .government can't close down nobody private road!!

Say it just ain't so!

Puerto Rico is a Caribbean island and ***unincorporated U.S. territory***. The Bahamas is still a part of the Caribbean and a sister country to Dominica. Most of what Minnis has pledged thus far to this country does not come directly out of the taxpayer pocket. In fact by bringing students here (only with immigration 'passes and education in the public or private system may result in greater benefits for this country. An while there is pain and suffering here in this country there are few, if any who hasn't received *any *assistance. The best way to help most is to get the economy moving, to create jobs, to get people employed and allow them to take care of themselves eventually.

Point to the initiatives that have been put in place to get the economy moving, to create jobs, to get people employed and allow them to take care of themselves eventually.

Do these Nassau politicians listen to the ideas given by Family Islanders?????? ...... We know what we need ........... and we need a hand up, not a hand out ........ Give them real Local Government and municipal autonomy ............ Get these carpetbaggers (PM appointed Administrators) out of these islands ........... Let the island/district mayors run their communities.
