well if the tourist can't come, drillin for oil will not be a bad idea...

The real concern may NOT be most of the American (tourists) coming here, BUT the number of Bahamians who will travel to Florida and elsewhere and not practice safe distancing practices and etc. And if an infected tourist does come here and stay for a while, he/she may encounter 10-20 Bahamians (ok locals or natives) even before they reach their hotel room. Now multply that times the percentage out of 6 Million tourists that may be infected. "Houston we have a serious problem", very serious.

Do you think police can enter a home in the dead of night in the United States and kill every Black male in sight? Even those who were begging for their lives, between sleep and wake and hiding for cover? Do you think a person who witnessed this slaughter can also meet her demise to a jail of bullets and it doesn’t raise red flags? What about the young man who was on his way to work and was gunned down in a hail of bullets, being hit 18 times by an officer who had a checkered past? Police abuse, victimization false arrest is endemic in this country. The number of fatal police shootings under the last commissioner clearly confirms that. Over 13 in one year and no police officer suspended, fired or brought up on charges. And Juan Q Public would say , ‘leave the police alone and let them do their job!’ But are they really doing their jobs or are they instigating and driving crime in the country? To help paint the picture that The Bahamas is a violent, crime ridden, drug infested place and this is the personality of Black peoples around the world. And hey, ninety percent of the police force consists of honest, upright, dedicated and hard working officers. But the 10 percent can destroy all the good the others are doing. It can destroy the country and the future of the country. Every police and their actions should be up for scrutiny and investigation. By an independent body.

Accusations of rape has been used by Americans to justify evern the most heinous crimes committed by the establishment, and especially against Black peopleZ. It was used regularly in slavery, even by white women who wanted a certain slave killed. After slavery the accusation of rape of a white women by a black man was used to destroy one of the most successful Black economies in America. How many successful Black men have been accused and even convicted of rape? And even now some of the most powerful or wealthy people of any color have been brought down by rape accusations. The man who stands as president in the White House has had numerous charges of sexual improprieties levied against him. In fact even the Bible tells how Joseph while serving Egypt with his best abilities was brought to his knees, thrown in jail and almost lost his life because of accusations of rape. They say rape is like murder because it destroys the victim forever. False victims of rape is just as powerful because the public cannot ever see the accused with all their clothes on again. The shadow of doubt and public shame will always hang over them.

If Minnis did not accept the resignation, which should have been accompanied by hefty times for those that entered the country without proper permission, then Minnis would have to refund all those convictions of poor Bahamians, who were going to the pump for water, stopped on the way home to purchase food or even water, went to check on a sick relative or take them medicine. And the now infamous case of the young man who was heavily fined for selling coconuts, And what may eventually be revealed about the arresting officer in relation to this matter. However the focus should now be on the US and Especially Florida that are having surged in new covid-19 cases. And be alert to BRAZIL that now has more new Covid-19 and deaths daily than the USA. In fact will it be safe to open the boarders to the US come July/August if that country is still having spikes in its cases and deaths.

It is a disgrace what government/customs is allowing the Gladstone Freight Terminal to do to its customers. They are charging storage on shipments that came in since the Emergency lockdowns began in March up until the day customers pick up these goods. These freight charges can amount to hundreds, even Thousands of dollars and small businesses that have been closed for two months will find it difficult to pay these additional storage charges. The manager at the terminal claims they have been open ‘straight thru’ the pandemic and the fact that importers could not pick up the goods has nothing to do with them. Goods that arrive in The Bahamas are supposed to be warehoused by customs if they are not picked up after 6 to 10 days. However customs seems to have become complacent in warehousing freight and so this is become an additional source of income for the freight who make millions annu from storage fees. So government warehouse remains practically empty while these greedy and heartless freight companies Hogg up everything.

The silence on this page is deafening. May God reveal the true nature of their deaths and may their souls find eternal peace

Three years ago more or less, Donald Trump told Black America, ‘you have nothing to lose by voting for me.’ And three and a half years later, Black America has even less to lose. And not only that, but most of White America and Brown America also find they have less to lose. Many are unemployed and the lockdowns due to the Corona pandemic has killed the spirit of America. And the president, who had the opportunity to starve off this crisis chose instead to take a bully stance, threatening that looters will be shot and anyone coming close to the White House will have vicious dogs set on them. But as soon as angry mobs got close to the White ahouse and set fires, Trump, either willingly or willing was whisked off to a safe underground bunker, leaving the country basically leaderless and to fend for themselves. And now if an even greater concern is that many of the looters and instigators of violence and property destruction are not locals but have been in close contact with local unsuspecting protesters who may have been exposed to the Corona virus.
