Cowards like you will always bow and scrape, eager to swallow whatever the Americans dish out—no matter how bitter or degrading—because deep down, you've accepted their view: that we're nothing more than “shithole people from shithole countries.” But let’s be clear—these genocidal, racist Americans don’t have friends; they have pawns and dependents. Friends don’t piss on you and then threaten you when the stench becomes unbearable. They respect your sovereignty, your dignity, and your right to choose what's best for your people. Until then, stop dressing up subservience as diplomacy.

Before Washington trots out another tired “debt-trap” sermon, it should recall that a first-class hospital in Nassau will treat not only Bahamians but the millions of American tourists who flood our shores every year. If the United States cannot match the financing, speed, or scope of China’s offer, its diplomats would do better to respect our sovereign right to choose the best deal rather than scold us with thinly veiled threats. Shared interests—not paternalistic lectures—should guide neighbours; until America can put a competitive package on the table, it might refrain from playing the insecure overlord.

Invoking the tired trope of a “Chinese Communist Party debt trap” insults the intelligence of the Bahamian people and obscures who truly wields coercive power in our daily affairs. The governments most loudly repeating that phrase are the same ones that restrict our visas, issue implicit threats when we pursue independent policies, and contribute little beyond the occasional shipment of second-hand police gear. By contrast, Chinese engagement has produced infrastructure with real, measurable value to our economy: the Freeport Container Port anchoring maritime trade, the Airport Gateway road upgrade streamlining ground transport, and the Baha Mar resort expanding our tourism portfolio and employment base. These projects arrived without the punitive conditionalities that so often accompany Western assistance - if any. In short, labelling China’s tangible investments as a “debt trap” while ignoring the far less generous conduct of its critics is not analysis—it is propaganda, and as a Bahamian you should know better.

... number on speed dial, and ready to make this right.

... And we sure do love our Papa — no question about that. But sometimes, you're better off siding with your enemies, because the ones calling themselves your friends turn out to be far worse.

"There are two things every one of us possesses — and one of them is our opinion. Now, allow me to put it plainly: Torch Out — All Through the Country."

Again: The reality is stark: the party’s grassroots are demoralized, its traditional base is fractured, and its messaging lacks conviction. Core supporters — particularly in once-reliable constituencies — are no longer inspired, and many are prepared to sit out the election altogether. But let us be clear: this voter apathy is not born of indifference; it is the product of betrayal, disillusionment, and the bitter taste of neglect.

And just remember this: when you piss on people, don’t be surprised when the stench rises — because eventually, your own piss starts to stink.

The current leadership of the Free National Movement (FNM) would do well to save themselves and the nation from the impending embarrassment by initiating an internal inquest rather than proceeding with what is shaping up to be a fragmented and uninspired campaign. The delays in candidate ratification, the publicized discord within party ranks, and the sidelining of influential figures such as former Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis, signal not progress, but political regression.

The reality is stark: the party's grassroots are demoralized, its traditional base is fractured, and its messaging lacks conviction. Core supporters, particularly in constituencies where loyalty was once a given, are likely to sit out the election entirely. This voter apathy will not arise out of indifference, but from a sense of abandonment and disillusionment.

Should this trend continue unaddressed, the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) — under Prime Minister Philip Davis and Deputy Chester Cooper — will secure another electoral victory not through the strength of their governance, but by default. A divided and disorganized opposition serves no one — least of all the Bahamian people, who deserve a credible, stable, and visionary alternative. If the FNM cannot present itself as such, then it may be time for a reckoning rather than a rollout.

> ***“Torch Out” — All Through the Country***

The once-proud symbol of the Free National Movement — the torch — is now dimming, flickering out not with dignity, but with disarray. From Grand Bahama to Inagua, the sentiment is spreading fast and wide: Torch out. Not because the people no longer believe in change, but because they no longer believe this FNM knows how to deliver it.
