Ahh, so Davis is going around taking the “chickens”—no wonder I don’t see them running around the neighbourhood. But that Pintard “confidence” joke? Look around; no one is laughing.

Michael Pintard and the FNM aren’t offering a clear plan. Their message doesn’t connect, and there’s no vision to win back old voters or attract new ones. Calling for a general election now looks like a shortcut, not a fix. A by-election costs less than a nationwide vote, and the law sets the timeline. The PLP can hold the by-election, keep governing, and serve its full five-year term.

"Voters need results, not stunts."

“The Progressive Liberal Party’s shortcomings are evident; however, the Free National Movement does not presently constitute a credible or attractive alternative.”

America’s disputes with China are America’s alone. The Bahamas neither seeks nor welcomes imported hostility. We value peace, sovereignty, and the right to chart our own course. If your presence offers conflict rather than cooperation, then it has no place here—keep it, and yourselves, far from our shores.

> Report: Justifying BPL Nuclear
> Conversion and Cost Benefits for the
> Bahamas

In light of recent revelations, the transformation of the Bahamas Electricity Corporation (BEC) and Bahamas Power and Light (BPL) becomes an urgent necessity. This report aims to comprehensively justify the conversion to nuclear energy for BPL and highlight the substantial cost benefits that such a transition could bring to the Bahamas.

Current Landscape:
The annual reports spanning 2016 to 2020 have illuminated BPL's precarious financial situation. Negative cash flows, operational losses, and maturing obligations raise concerns about BPL's sustainability. In a climate of economic volatility, BPL's financial challenges magnify the urgency of finding a viable, long-term solution.

> The Vision of Nuclear Energy
> Conversion:

The prospect of nuclear energy conversion presents an unprecedented opportunity to alleviate the financial burdens faced by BPL and pave the way for sustainable development in the Bahamas. Let's delve into the compelling reasons behind the nuclear conversion:

1. Financial Stability and Predictability:
Nuclear energy provides a stable and predictable source of power. By transitioning to nuclear energy, BPL can mitigate the volatility of fuel costs and operational losses outlined in the annual reports. With an annual revenue of $380 million from 108,000 customers, the potential for financial stability and growth is evident.

2. Substantial Cost Savings:
The transition to nuclear energy promises to revolutionize BPL's financial landscape. The cumulative cost of providing energy to 108,000 customers over 10 years, estimated at $3.8 billion, underscores the scale of potential savings through nuclear energy conversion. These funds could be redirected toward sustainable development, infrastructure improvement, and socioeconomic progress.

Cost Analysis:
To ensure a convincing and detailed case, we've conducted an in-depth cost analysis over a 10-year period, comparing the current scenario with the potential nuclear energy conversion.

1. Customer Payments Over 10 Years:
Based on the annual revenue of $380 million and 108,000 customers, customer payments over 10 years amount to:
$380 million * 10 years = $3.8 billion

2. Estimated Fuel Cost Over 10 Years:
Considering BPL's annual fuel cost of $300 million, the total fuel cost over 10 years is:
$300 million * 10 years = $3 billion

3. Estimated Cost of Nuclear Plant:
Based on estimates, the cost of building a new nuclear plant is $1 billion.

Cost Comparison:
Now, let's juxtapose these figures for a comprehensive understanding of the financial implications:

Cost Comparison Over 10 Years
• Customer Payments to BPL | $3.8B
• Estimated Fuel Cost | $3B
• Estimated Cost of Building a New Nuclear Plant | $1B

Why is The Bahamas the only country in the world experiencing this crisis—skyrocketing fuel charges and power bills—when there is a global glut and fuel prices are at their lowest on the international market?

Police work is difficult by choice, not an excuse. The badge binds you to protect every person you encounter, including suspects and offenders. If an officer draws or fires a weapon absent an imminent threat to life, he ceases to be a guardian and becomes indistinguishable from the criminal he claims to oppose. The role is not an outlet for ego, fear, or confusion about public duty. When misuse ends in death, it is abuse, not policing.

On the Bain ruling, the message is clear. A jury saw the evidence and called the shooting what it was. Accountability is not a morale problem. It is the point of the law. Body-worn and security footage, medical findings, and witness accounts are the standard. If your story breaks on those facts, your story fails.

Policing is not a game. If you cannot keep your finger off the trigger until the threat is real, turn in your weapon. If you lie, the cameras will expose you. If you kill without necessity, expect prison. Your firearm is a test of discipline and character. Pass it or step aside.

Reserve Police Constable 3099 Franklyn Armbrister, this is simple. A man was shot in the back and died. No gun was recovered. A witness saw no weapon. Surveillance shows flight, not assault. The autopsy tracks an upward path through the spine, lung, and trachea. These facts are before the court.

Own your actions. Stop the story-shifting. If you fired without lawful cause, say so. Enter a plea, accept judgment, and ask the Bain family for forgiveness. Thank the public for footing the bill your conduct created. Do not waste the tribunal’s time. Every dodge only deepens the stain.

> Warning to serving officers:

Police work is not Grand Theft Auto. A badge is not a shield for bravado. A pistol is not a prop. It is lethal force under law. If you cannot keep your finger disciplined, your temper contained, and your judgment clear, turn in your weapon and your warrant card now.

Follow the use-of-force ladder, or be ready to face prison. Control distance and time. Give clear commands. Keep your body camera on. Preserve scenes and evidence. Render aid the moment the shooting stops. Write reports that match the footage. Tell the truth the first time.

If you treat lives as a game, you are in the wrong profession. If you lie, you will be exposed. If you kill without necessity, you will be sentenced. Choose the standard or step aside.
