> FREE National Movement (FNM) incumbent parliamentarians are not guaranteed a nomination in the next general election, FNM chairman Dr Duane Sands said yesterday, adding that every potential candidate will undergo a selection process.

This politically tone deaf and most foolish man is basically saying the voice of the voters in a constituency does not matter to those who control the FNM party.

> The interactive sessions will cover topics such as history, the FNM’s values, principles of governance, and politics.

Forget these most ridiculous interactive sessions that tend to favour more lawyers or doctors! This daft doctor and the others who govern the administrative apparatus of the FNM party fail to appreciate that what our country needs most is a slate of electable political candidates of known integrity who are possessed of a demonstrated history of both business and common sense. The last thing our nation needs is more lawyers or doctors in parliament, especially of the kind that owe their stature within the FNM party to cronyism or, even worse, nepotism.

> Dr Sands said local and international agencies will vet participants to assess their fitness to serve in the House of Assembly and represent the FNM.

Is Sands for real....did he really say "international agencies"??!!! Who the hell is he talking about here. Since when did our nation, and more specifically the FNM party, start allowing outside foreign agencies to have a say and sway in who the Bahamian people can and cannot vote for?!!!

> “We have a strict non-disclosure approach, and so I am not minded to tell you who has participated to date, nor am I likely to tell you,” he said. “Understand that we are dealing with a very spiteful and vindictive administration, and there are persons who could lose their job, people who would find themselves victimised, and so I’m not going to go down a slippery slope.”

Talk about a lame and bullshiit excuse for keeping all of the skullduggery and underhandedness that now goes on at the executive committees and central council away from the eyes and ears of the party faithful who truly deserve some degree of transparency in the candidate selection process.

Sands has been and continues to prove himself to be a dismal failure as Chairman of the FNM party. And this is one of the main reasons why so many of us are now praying for many more independent candidates to throw their hat into the political ring across all constituencies.

Bottom line: When it comes to an abundance of incompetence and corruption, both the PLP and FNM governments alike really take not only the cake, but also the icing, the crumbs, and everything else, leaving nothing but abject misery and suffering for the many struggling Bahamians today. Enough is enough!!!

2:00 AM in the morning......young driver driving at very high speed.....loss of control of vehicle.......vehicle demolished on hitting a sturdy tree....jaws of life needed......thankfully the deadly out-of-control vehicle did not kill anyone else.

The wickedness of this most evil and despicable creature is boundless. She has done the Izmirlian family a great disservice. Satan must be drooling at the prospect of soon receiving her lost soul for all of eternity!

Everyone knows a plp or fnm govt changes nothing......but a govt's inability to borrow is about to take the worst kind of toll on the families of every voter who has ever supported either one of these two most corrupt political parties......brace yourself!

> For her part, Minister of Education Glenys Hanna-Martin reflected on her own mistakes, emphasizing the value of self-forgiveness and the lessons learned from them.

The Devil himself will make it a point to be at the Entry Gate to Hell in order to personally welcome Hanna-Martin when her time in the flesh expires.

> Fred Mitchell, the PLP’s chairman and minister of foreign affairs, in a recent note to the party’s supporters also said The Bahamas “is in a tight economic squeeze” and that the Government is “seeking to pay as we go, not to borrow if we don’t have to”.

LMAO. The lenders have all run for the hills knowing that this most corrupt Davis led PLP government will soon have problems in finding buyers for even future issues of its shorter term B$ denominated debt instruments.

Did anyone see Tyrant Minnis in Marsh Harbour and High Rock with his blood stained hands raised in prayer feverishly praying for all the souls of the dead taken by Hurricane Dorian to stop haunting and tormenting him?

Can't help but wonder how many Bahamians today know that the developer of Pinewood Gardens was none other the insatiably greedy and most corrupt Snake.

The comments to this news story are more pathetic than the story itself.

> “The issue is not who got what donations and who got what money, because there is a system of donations in the country, and some of those donations are tied to, you don’t know, confidentiality interest. If he wants to do that, that’s his business.”

This most sleasy, slimy and disgusting SOB knows full well that the leaders of both political parties, PLP and FNM alike, have been 'selling-out' the interests of the Bahamian people to the interests of highest greaser of their own personal financial interests for decades.

And for scummier than scum Fwreddy Boy to suggest that the illegal bribes paid to political leaders that have become the norm in our country are nothing more than donations impressed with confidentiality, really takes the cake!!
