What suitable candidate in their right mind would want to serve as president of UB with the very corrupt and greedy Wicked Witch of The West (Allyson Maynard Gibson) serving as chair of the Trustee Board. Even the very qualified J. Hodder knows that UB has little chance of achieving the standards necessary to obtain international accreditation as long as the likes of the Wicked Witch of The West, Snake and the ChiComs remain involved in its affairs.

Pintard is much too easily distracted from staying fully focused on the most important unaddressed political issues. Wimpy Davis long ago figured out that Pintard, like Minnis, is a light weight in politics because he cannot resist skipping to and mouthing off on whatever much less important matter is thrown out there by the PLP as the topic du jour.

When was the last time he called for a press conference to remind the Bahamian people of the five or six most important matters that the corrupt Davis led PLP government have failed to address. In fact, as leader of the opposition, he should be holding such a press conference at least monthly.

Pintard has yet to realise that there is a reason why many of the world's most successful politicians often sound repetitious. It's because they stay focused on the most important unaddressed issues to ensure they are driven home in the minds of voters before an election campaign even begins. Even President Trump quickly learned this simple fact as a new comer to politics in 2015/16, but then again I guess he had plenty of experience in the art of branding himself through repetition long before entering active politics.

The politics for the day is controlled by the politician who sets the agenda for that day. Unfortunately Pintard tends to let his political zone for the day become too easily flooded by the governing party with no much resonating and sticking in the minds of the voters.

victor cooper should be immediately fired by the very person who appointed him - wimpy davis.

Tootie Fruity Fwreddy Boy is clearly having great difficulty digesting what he knows is coming his way like an unstoppable freight train. He and many other current and former corrupt politicians, together with their corrupt wealthy cronies and financial-backers, are going to learn the hard way that even a small nation's sovereignty, within the context of international law and order, cannot be used to shield them from facing the consequences of their many illegal activities spanning decades. The sad part is we, the Bahamian people, having put the governance of our nation in the hands of some of the most corrupt, incompetent and greedy politicians in the western hemisphere, are also going to pay a very dear price. Elections have consequences, both at home and abroad.

Investigative journalists in our main stream news media need to begin investigating exactly who among certain of our more corrupt senior government officials, including those with close financial ties to them, are deriving significant financial benefit from the abusive and illegal human trafficking schemes involving medical workers "recruited" from other countries like Cuba and Ghana. Start with Darville as our minister of health!

All government contracts associated with the procurement of these medical workers from other governments under coercive circumstances need to be fully investigated, especially as regards all of their housing costs and other living allowances.

Sadly many of these so called "recruited" Cuban medical workers are not as qualified as our corrupt government officials have led us to believe. The quality of healthcare training in Cuba and the entire Cuban healthcare system have significantly declined over the last three decades and the quality and standards of Cuban doctors, nurses, medical technicians, hospitals, medical schools, etc. are nowhere near what they once were.

The Cuba of yesterday is not the Cuba of today as evidenced by the fact that its corrupt communist regime cannot even provide the Cuban people with the essentials of everyday life like food, electricity, water, medicines, and yes, even basic medical care of an acceptable quality.

And the presence of the evil ChiComs in Cuba have done absolutely nothing for that country as is the case for most nation's that they seek to greatly exploit for their own purposes with little regard for the needs and interests of the indigenous people.

The Cuban medical personnel being recruited by our healthcare officials are for all intents and purposes seeking political asylum, but they are at the same time being taken advantage of (abused) by corrupt government officials in both the Cuban and Bahamian governments in what has been transformed into an illegal profiteering human trafficking scheme.

Our government must avoid announcing that it is willing to open our country's door to political asylum seekers as doing so could have dire consequences for our small nation with its very limited land and other resources, especially given our many existing problems associated with an already unsustainable population of illegal immigrants.

Keep in mind that the failed states of both Cuba and Haiti have enormous populations and telling their suffering and destitute people that we are willing to open our doors to asylum seekers would undoubtedly have disastrous implications for The Bahamas and the Bahamian people.

And let's not forget for one moment that the present U.S. administration is hell-bent on purging itself of illegal aliens by sending them back to the last country they were in before illegally entering the U.S.

The simple truth of the matter is the Bahamian and Cuban governments should not be involved in human trafficking activities for their mutual benefit that abuse the fundamental rights of the humans preyed on and made subject to the illicit trafficking. Such crimes against humanity are illegal under international law. It's really as simple as that.

And let's try not forget that the ancestors of many Bahamians had their rights seriously abused when they were sold to the highest bidder and trafficked across borders to become cruelly treated as slaves many moons ago.

Our brain-drain problem is a direct result of decades of failed social and economic policies because we, the Bahamian voters, have been foolishly allowing corrupt and incompetent politicians to seek elected office with the intention of feathering their own nests while representing the interests of their financial-backers and cronies rather than the interests of the Bahamian people.

Whatever the U.S. government may or may not do itself is irrelevant.

Whatever you say.
