The last time I checked, it is not President Trump's job to care about the Bahamas. He is the President of the United States of America, not the Prime Minister of the Bahamas. His people are his concern, not us. I don't think any Bahamian really expects him to care about us.
That being said, you fail to comprehend that Trump's policies have a neutral at worst, and beneficial at best effect, on our country. Foreign investment here has only increased since he has assumed office, hence contributing to our economic health. Anyone with an adequate knowledge of Bahamian history quite frankly knows that the state of our economy is directly dependent on the state of the American one, and the American economy soared to unprecedented heights prior to COVID-19.
If the worst comes to past and Biden assumes office, rest assured that his policies will be nothing but detrimental to the state of our country. The worst case scenario involves a normalization of relations with Cuba that places further economic strain on us following COVID-19 and Dorian, plus an increase in taxes in America + other domestic initiatives that prompt American money to stay home and not invest here. Economically speaking, we are nothing more than a vassal state of America and it serves our best interest for investors to have a high degree of confidence in both their domestic market and ours.
Please stop drinking the orange man bad kool-aid and think rationally. We need a lot less emotional thinking worldwide, with a lot more logical.
Those of us with a brain and the ability to comprehend our long-term economic prospects aren't.
Edit to add : We can only pray that God works a miracle and exposes all of the corruption what took place. Any Bahamian who cares for our country needs to pray for Trump to be the one getting inaugurated in January.
And what does that have to do with the fact that we are going to suffer a major revenue hit if (when) it reopens? You should be very well aware that the development of the Bahamian tourism industry directly coincided with the closure of Cuba, so don't try to understate the impact that the reopening would have on our country. We are a very expensive tourist destination that offers a rather limited product. Jamaica, Dominican Republic, etc. all offer sun, sand, and sea as well. Throw in the fact that Cuba is a far cheaper destination offering much better entertainment, and we are going to be hurting.
Lol. Trump certainly is not a perfect man, but don't pretend that Biden or Harris are somehow any better. Does the name Tara Reade ring a bell? Biden has no room to talk on Trump being bigoted when he didn't "want his kids growing up in a racial jungle".
While I certainly agree with you in principle that one should be a citizen before being able to vote in a national election, I will have to point out that you are factually incorrect in saying that it happens in no other country.
Bahamians are technically able to vote in the United Kingdom due to the fact that we are citizens of a Commonwealth nation. That is just one example, a citizenship requirement to vote is not uniform across every country.
Any Bahamian that is looking for a Biden win is working against their own interests. Our tourism brand is going to take a hard hit if (when) Cuba ever opens up. We need to start re-marketing ourselves and creating a new product now.
Trump's only path to victory right now lies in PA + NV. I am almost certain that he is going to win PA, and he is only behind 8,000 in Nevada (which is not counting until tomorrow for some weird reason...). Arizona is still in play despite what everyone else says as well, mostly Trump votes left to tally up.
No way he is going to win Michigan with the amount of vote left in Wayne county, it is PA + NV or AZ + PA, or it is game over for him.
Given that we are in the Bahamas, the predominant faith is Christianity (of various denominations). There are other faiths here, but given the context, I think that it would be safe to assume Christianity should be the focal point of discussion.
When I referred to disease, I meant the LGBT movement. It is a cancer that destroys the fabric of society. If we want to be technical, homosexuality was at one point listed as a mental illness by the DSM as well (removed for political reasons).
Lol. I do not know a single person that is afraid of a homosexual, I only wish that they keep whatever they do in private to themselves. This is the thing that the LGBT zombies do not get, no one really cares what you do in the privacy of your own home; however, there is a line drawn when it comes to pushing your degeneracy on everyone else. If walking around in a dress is your fancy, go ahead, but do not expect me to play along with your delusion and then try to charge me with "hate speech" for calling a spade a spade and not wanting my children to be a part of your lifestyle.
The LGBT drones need to understand that they would have life a whole lot easier if they just kept their mouths shut, nobody really cares whether you are gay, bi, etc. It is when they start pushing their lifestyles and delusions onto everyone else, and charging everyone who voices opposition to your lifestyle with crimes, that people start to get pissed off. Most of them have a massive persecution complex, and end up creating issues for themselves.
Based on what data is able to be collected, it appears the pedophilia is a much more rampant issue in the various Protestant denominations. The educational system also has a problem with it as well, yet we only hear about one organization in particular constantly in the media spotlight. I will put two links below, the research study is a lengthy read (I don't blame you if you skip through it)
For the record, I don't support the hiding or covering up of any abuse what goes on. When it is discovered, it needs to be quickly dealt with and the offender made an example of. At the same time, I think we should keep things in perspective about the scale of the issue. It is a problem for many organizations, yet the media only seems to cover it in the Catholic Church.
It is important to note that the Pope was not speaking ex-cathedra, or on behalf of the Church, when he made that statement. That was his own personal opinion, which he is entitled to have. Whether that was a wise idea or not, we will see. It certainly has created a lot of confusion among the faithful.
I do not think that you will ever be able to create an irreligious society, the concept of God is as old as humanity itself. All the ancient Greek, Roman, Phoenician, Egyptian, etc. societies all had a concept of a god(s) to worship, belief in a higher power is the default natural state of humanity. Even in Europe, the dethroning of Christianity by secularism has only resulting in the growth of Islam on the continent. Someone will always fill the power vacuum.
Did I ever imply that religion is guilt free? The Church is comprised of sinful humans, of course there are going to be waywards that end up giving it a bad name. I would encourage you to compare the rates of reported abuse in various churches, and then compare it to the general public. You will realize how easy it is to fall for a certain agenda that the media pushes. You only hear about it in certain places and not the others...
When it comes to FGM, I do not know a single church in the Bahamas that condones the practice. You can correct me if I am wrong, I have not canvassed every church in the country. Some church in the backwaters of Africa may support the practice, but I highly doubt that it would be condoned here. If a church does support it, shame on them. No where in the Bible, or in any Church teaching, have I ever seen/know of support for the practice.
I can post a million links here if I wanted to. Same sex marriage was legalized on the federal level by the Supreme Court in 2015, and the pace of the descent into this filth has only accelerated since then. You are 100% right that Europe is divided East vs. West when it comes to the LGBT movement, and I support nations such as Poland, Hungary, and Russia 100% when it comes to protecting their nations from this vile disease. It wasn't enough for these people to keep their perversions private, they had to force it on the children as well.
Fooling around with the LGBT movement is like opening Pandora's box; once you open it, there is no putting it all back in. We would be very wise to keep that box closed.
I always marvel at how quick the rabid anti-religious types come out of the closet anytime the BCC makes a public statement, you would think that we are living in the Christian equivalent of the Islamic Republic of Iran or Saudi Arabia with how quick they are to spew vitriol towards all things religious. Please wake up people, no religious institution has any say in legislating over your lives in this country. No church is forcing you to live your life a certain type of way.
When it comes to same-sex unions, please take a good look at how corrupt and degenerate the United States currently has become to the point where pedophilia has started to become openly pushed, in addition to extending this "transgender" demented foolishness to young people. It always starts off as wanting to be accepted, and then it is same sex unions, and then marriage, and then it is having men in dresses share the same bathroom with women, and then it is injecting your kids with hormone replacement therapy and puberty blockers while mutilating themselves through surgery to only die a horrific death by suicide when they become adults in most cases. Please wake up and see that the degeneracy will never end, it is best not to give into it in the first place. They are already trying to normalize pedophilia with films such as Cuties and using innocent-sounding terms such as MAP (minor-attracted person), and they will push bestiality and necrophilia as the next items up for acceptance when they are finished. We have enough problems as it is with our Bahamian society, we do not need to import the worst of America over here to compound our issues.
