In the ad, someone solemnly declares that DeSantis has supported efforts “to raise the national retirement age to 70 (it is currently 62 to get some Social Security benefits).” The voice then states that DeSantis “has voted to defund Social Security and Medicare.”

As you may have read in the OpEd by fellow Bahamian researcher, Candace Fields, last November, a crisis is developing for the Bahamian scientific community.

Let us go to Galilee

THE angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He has been raised, as He said.

STATESIDE: Is this the answer to what put Trump in the Oval Office and may keep him there?

We all know someone who’s really smart. Maybe we know these smart people from school or work, or maybe they’re someone from our own family. Sometimes, they are celebrities. We see them on TV or read what they write in the newspaper, online or in a book.

INSIGHT: Nassau Life - Sanity not hysteria, for the gaming business

I went over to a new Island Luck gaming site the other night and opened an account in the windowless single-purpose room, lit mainly by dozens of computer screens.
