I really respect the comments of Brensil Role. Minnis is trying to force himself back. He has learned nothing.

These old politicians are just like booga on the end of your finger....hard to rub them off ....

Oh the DRAMA

Minnis had his chance and failed, can he just enjoy his comfortable retirement and let a new, hopefully more competent FNM lead without his constant interference ?

Interesting article

The media can be a dangerous tool to influence the masses.

If Brave is endorsing Pintard ...... FNMs should take serious note of its implications.

No one supported Churchill for PM ahead of World War 2. And look what happened after that.

Minnis was soundly rejected during the last election and he lost a leadership race since that. What has he done that would make him think he has support?

"*if Brave is supporting Pintard*"????

Didn't the PLP just give Minnis a warm and resounding welcome to Parliament as the "real" leader. You've just given us breaking news that that was all a show meant to deceive Minnis and boost false confidence as Brave, and I guess by extension, the PLP party are really behind Pintard!

Mr. Foulkes puts the party's main objective in perspective, i.e. 'beat the P.L.P.'

Village Road's Comrade Branville McCartney, has a view of himself as the colony's **"alternative deputy premiership in waiting".** — And everything and everyones' else is like this and that – Convention delegates - along with Comrade Thomas Desmond Bannister, are being snubbed scrubbed! --- Yes?

I think Bran sees DPM as his way in. I dont see him playing second fiddle for long... but... I could be wrong.

The PLP has been good for the average Bahamian the FNM makes sure the rich gets richer the shipping port can increase their fees the cost of living is. Affected by the cost of shipping

Fool

I do not comment to foolishness, but this is the most unintelligent, ignorant, lack of common sense and blind political statement ever made.

Birdie, are you insane?

I sometimes fluctuate between thinking birdie is an intelligent person hiding their identity under a facade of pure unadulterated dumbness to being horrified that these statements could be pure creations of a birdie brain

Who is worse Mr Pintard or the doc Pintard may not go all over the world calling the Bahamas corrupt

-

May be more approachable he is the toggie and boggie man how low will he go. Remains to be seen

But we are corrupt from the head down to the toe

**Possibilities to grow membership byTenfold in the Coalition of Independents' (COI)..** Invest in setting up a **1 June stall** out at Baha Mar Resort as a membership recruitment tool to attract a fair number of disgruntled RedShirts' convention delegates and attendees' --- Switch over to (COI). --- Yes?

These FNM ex-Cabinet members are playing possum ........ no one knows who they will vote for on June 1.

Pintard is a tin foil hat tyrant ........... so, they are telling him what he wants to hear ahead of the "convention"

> Dr Minnis, who believes he kept the country stable despite the massive challenge posed by Hurricane Dorian and the COVID-19 pandemic, has said he has unfinished business.

This nasty, evil, demonic and tyrannical lout is as delusional and full of himself as they come. Surely by now even the most loyal FNM voters in the Killarney constituency must realise that come the next general election they would be doing the FNM party and the country a great favour if they stayed at home or at work rather than cast a vote for this most cruel monster.

Time for Dr. Minnis to go quietly this time. He's past his sell date.

As a Kilarney constituent, I will not be voting if Dr. Minnis stands for the Hilarney district. I will not vote for this man -- EVER AGAIN! His record speaks for itself, and his underhanded nasty ways even flounder. He does not promote nor encourage new leadership, but clings to his old selfish egottistical ways -- not for the betterment of the Bahamas. Please, Dr. Minnis, go away!

... I would take COVID over Minnis any day! Worst, most authoritarian PM ever!

Bulla, what you smoking?????

You ain't living in Nassau under the New Day, hey????

Stumpy Davis, unlike Demonic Minnis, does not yet have his hands stained with the blood of thousands of Bahamians. But the hurricane season will soon be upon us and we do know that Stumpy Davis and his Cabinet of the Most Incompetent have done absolutely nothing to prepare our country so as to minimise the great loss of life that occurs both during and in the immediate aftermath of a Cat 4+ hurricane.

**A convention win for Pintard can still be a LOSS!** --- Even those delegates are not **openly** identifying with the Minnis/McCartney camp– doesn't mean they're **prepared to ride a Pintard horsey** into another by or general election. --- Yes?

Look at all these comments about politics in The Bahamas.
What some call divide and conquer flies swiftly over our heads.
What change has ever come about by voting here?
Look at any statistic concerning the current state of this country.
Economic, social, educational, fiscal. criminal, judicial
So, what is it that could be attributed to this unmitigated and complete national failure?
Does anyone think this is a healthy country poised to offer such promise to our kids?
Some, such as myself, must call it for what it is. We are circling the drain.
Decade after decade, we continue to choose people who enrich and engorge themselves on OUR money. They steal it by a thousand cuts.
And yet, what gets us engaged are a bunch of people who have gotten us to where we are today. No real solutions, (read PM's comments on BPL today's Tribune), just more empty words.
So, Tribune commenters, why are we still in this lowly state of affairs where a handful of people are enriching themselves while the rest of us scramble to make it at all.
Is it that we just can't find the right "leaders", or, is there a much deeper social explanation for our unarguable failure as a nation?

I'm with you. I'm voting for Disney next election. Let them buy or manage the country and come in and make this country one big profitable resort.

I guess you don't know that Disney is now effectively owned by the ChiComs. Never have the costumes of the official Mickey, Minnie and other Disney characters been adorned with so much ornate yellow gold. Then again, may be you do know.

"*or, is there a much deeper social explanation for our unarguable failure as a nation?*"

Theres as deeper social issue.

A very large percentage of the Bahamian population see nothing wrong with engaging in illegal activity if you can make a profit. If the US were to release the tapes I'm sure we'd find a good percentage of businesses and the *forward* advancement of individuals was funded by the 80's drug era. Then came illegal gaming with these men allowed to not only hold on to the proceeds to crime but to ascend to high office, some representing the Bahamas. Then we get the politician accepting rolex watches as gifts, and demanding 5000 dollars or more from contractors for every low cost home contract awarded. You cant make this up. We simply cannot distinguish between good and bad if money is involved. Look at FTX I'm "almost" sure Brave would have sold New Providence and everybody's first grandchild into slavery if Sam had asked him to. Something was also up with Oban, Minnis was acting like a crazy person trying to pull that over the finish line by himself, you'd almost think he was poised to make millions if it went through.

Bahamians call these people "*smart*". And the 17 year old boys in the inner city (or wherever they are) with automatic rifles, killing people and robbing banks want to be just like them. Rich fast.

That's why we're failing.

Check the record history will show that the PLP has done more to lift up the average Bahamian NIB University of the Bahamas free high school education. NHI cuss me uponeside and down the other facts are stubborn the Fnm party enriches the rich and they say wait for the trickle down what it is wait for the crumbs from the master table

birdie,
Who do you write these comments for?
Who can understand such complete nonsense?

I very seldom bother to waste my time reading (much less replying to) anything posted to this website by either @birdiestrachan or @TalRussell. From my standpoint, their gibberish should always just be completely ignored for what they themselves intend it to be, i.e. nothing but meaningless and uninteresting gobbledegook lacking in even amusement. Some think they are ChiCom planted robot trolls. LOL

Minnis’ leadership through Covid started off as being rational….and then the power-players came and he cringed and said the nation needed to get vaccinated. Now look at the apologies from Pfizer, the statistics on the outcomes, the rapidly rising turbo-cancer rates, the retraction oof mRNA usage by various governments because of vaccine/ clot related morbidity, the studies that damn such experimental biowarfare, etc etc…..do I trust him? NO I DONT! I know more Bahamians who have died or nearly died because they got the vax than I ever heard of in COVID! But THIS present government got ta go man! Still no transparency! Still got corruption! Still wanna talk about the climate problem but buying BMW! I am sick of career politicians. Time for new blood. Time for service to the people. Time for transparency. Time for true independence and not more debt!
