Halkitis is a clueless dunce when it comes to the likely adverse impacts of the global tariff wars simply because his small mind is incapable of connecting all the relevant dots. For him to suggest we have little to worry about because we don't export much to the U.S. is really quite laughable.

And even cheaper eggs will soon be coming our way from Haiti. All egg cartons will of course be clearly labelled "Eat at Own Risk".

LMAO. No one believes a word Hanna-Martin says about anything.

You can bet how the Bahamian government influences the Bahamian courts in this is now under the watchful eye of the new U.S. administration. Any involvement by the Bahamian government's favourite "go to" judge in this ChiCom matter will undoubtedly set off alarm bells in D.C.

> Mr Griffin added that all suppliers are legitimate and have been verified by their governments as providing high-quality goods for export.

LMAO

LOL. No one has to worry about being charged with anything in this matter because the crucial evidence (the one-hundred thousand U.S. smackeroos) has long since vanished into thin air.

Does Pintard even understand and appreciate the extent of the illegal activities that the Office of The PM stealthily engaged in under the guiding hand of the very corrupt Tony Ferguson? Why is he allowing Tyrant Minnis to steal his voice as leader of the opposition on the more critical aspects of this most grave matter?

Corrupt Davis was caught red handed in a fraudulent crony capitalism scheme involving thousands of acres of prime seabed property around the Exuma islands that is owned by all Bahamians as Crown Land.

The crooked scheme was designed (stealthily disguised) as a PPP by none other than the very corrupt Tony Ferguson with the clear intent of unjustly enriching himself and a crony investor group with a monopoly business venture. The venture would have seen only a token amount of tax being paid into the Public Treasury on the huge amount of mooring revenues collected, with the lions share of the profits pocketed by Ferguson's crony investor group.

And by refusing to provide the public with any reasonable explanation for their wrong doings and illegal actions in this matter, both Davis and Ferguson have effectively admitted their guilt. The entire deal had Davis's blessing, and if Davis were an honourable man, he would have by now resigned as PM and Minister of Finance in the circumstances.

As for the conniving Tony Ferguson, the financial and other regulators in our country should be holding him fully accountable for the role he played in stealthily devising such a devious and corrupt financial scheme intended to unjustly enrich himself and his crony investor group.

It is fundamentally wrong that a crony investor group of wealthy capitalists led by corrupt PM Davis and equally corrupt Tony Ferguson should be given a moorings monopoly by way of an illegal lease of thousands of acres of Crown Land (seabed) so that they could be unjustly enriched to the exclusion of the Bahamian people, including established businesses and rental properties in the mooring areas.

Our government should contract out the development and maintenace of the mooring areas to various unrelated investor groups in a transparent bidding process that ensures the Public Treasury gets its fair share of the annual mooring revenues through both taxes and seabed lease payments. And the seabed leases should not be automatically renewable but rather open to another public bidding process at least once every 10 years, with each investor group being annually audited by an independent accounting firm so that the government is better able to verify the remittances that benefit the Public Treasury and thereby the Bahamian people.

For obvious reasons, the greedy marauder Tony Ferguson should not be involved in the bidding processes and that includes no involvement whatsoever in the drafting of requests for proposals from interested investor groups.

> Long Island MP Adrian Gibson said his constituents saw bright lights and heard thunderous sounds “like the ground breaking”.

>“I am deeply concerned about the potential for debris to cause damage to homes, property or even result in injury or death,” he said in a Facebook post.

Gibson is clearly not the brightest crayon in the box. He should be concerned about the tons and tons of highly toxic debris that was scattered over a vast area of the Southeastern Bahamas with untold devastating consequences for our marine environment. He should also be gravely concerned about the highly toxic particulates that this disaster released into the atmosphere over our nation that rained down on many Bahamians who foolishly believe they cannot be harmed by what they cannot see. They forget many Bahamians succumbed to the COVID-19 virus that could not be seen and many Bahamians will no doubt be afflicted with cancer and other ailments later in their lives as a result of this incident.

And not a peep from our Green New Deal Carbon Capture PM and his DPM about this national disaster, not to mention crickets from all the environmentalists and the BNT.

For decades our corrupt politicians have been allowing the US publicly listed cruise ship companies to pollute our territorial seas and the air we breathe with impunity, and now these same corrupt politicians remain silent while the residue of highly toxic shiit rains down all over us from rockets launched from the US and boosters recovered in the Bahamas. And to think Davis is always spouting on about how pollution is causing climate change, rising sea levels and health risks for our people. Nothing said by Davis has the least bit of credibility.

> He {Darville} noted that the NIB Chronic Drug Prescription Plan provides free medication to just over 44,000 Bahamians, primarily government workers and their families. The government now plans to transfer the initiative — currently managed by the Ministry of Health — to the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA).

> “Under the complete universal primary healthcare package, NHI patients would see the doctors *FREE*, get the labs and diagnostics *FREE*, and very soon all medications for chronic non-communicable diseases will be provided *FREE* of charge for both private and public patients at healthcare facilities across the country that accept NHI,” he {Darville} said.

They are having to carve the NIB Chronic Drug Prescription Plan out of National Insurance because NIB is now, for all intents and purposes, essentially a bankrupt Ponzi scheme that will not be able to meet its obligations to future retirees. This is a first step towards the dismantling of our bankrupt National Insurance scheme. The pension plans of government employees are also now being operated as Ponzi schemes because of their huge unfunded obligations to future retirees. Accordingly, they too will eventually have to go through some kind of dismantling process as a result of successive corrupt governments having robbed and left bare all retirement cupboards.

This means most working Bahamians under age 56 today are not going to receive in their retirement years anywhere near the level of benefits they will need to financially survive. And it is laughable to hear a corrupt politician like Darville repeatedly telling us that these proposed legislative changes to our existing benefit schemes will ensure that we receive all sorts of alternative "free" benefits. Only a most corrupt politician like Darville is capable of telling anyone over and over again that they can be assured of getting something for ***"FREE"***.
