Chicago earned the dubious honor, named Orkin's "rattiest city" of 2023, beating out Los Angeles and New York respectively for the ninth straight year. Orkin's list is released annually as the weather gets chillier, the time when mice and other rodents look for warm places to nest.’. That is the list for the world and not just the USA! And since few Bahamians frequent Bay Street these days, for obvious reasons ( they may get charged with harrassior even live in close proximity to Bay Street, the source of the rat infestation could be easily identified. And hence government should solicit tge support of the cruise port and other businesses on Bay Street in not only getting rid of these pests tgat carry germs and cause illnesses. How many tons of garbage and refuse come off the cruise ships on a daily basis and how long are they left laying around before they are dumped? And if the rodents come off the ships with the garbage, dies it also follows that tge cruise ships are infested with rodents?

Sad to say, but reality confirms it, the biggest selling point for The Tribune on a weekly basis is its obituary section and not its front page headlines. The Want Ads section isle is also a good draw, but most of the ads are security officers, maids and gardeners. And the maids and gardener jobs are mostly just to fill immigration requirements that the jobs be advertised to Bahamians before a work permit can be issued. Most Bahamians tend to shun the bews and the newspapers because they say, ‘ the news is too depressing these days, especially with all these murders And the Tribune can confirm its readership is dwindling dat by day.

Hold up!!! Only three of the Tribune’s FOUR bloggers responded. Someone ( besides Birdie) is missing!!

The only way Michael Pintard will see the PM’s chair is if he has a friend who becomes PM and they allow him to sit in The Chair for 5 minutes ( or less). More than five minutes and he may pull a Donald Trump and not wanting to give the chair up. And that was even before he refereed to the PM as a dictator in his efforts to save these ‘haters’ from destroying the Bahamian economy. The FNMs and the Bahamian people don’t feel the road Michael Pintard and Duane Sands feeling the path they are trying to take this country down and definitely do not support them. The Tribune likes to use words like ‘arrogance’ and ‘bigotry’. And whilst the dialogue about the PM and The PLP continues , what is the justification for Tge Tribune continuing to print negative headlines and sensationalize the crime problem when they admit they know the effects their treasonous actions are having on this country and it’s economy. And Pintard jumps in the fray either to support or defend their behavior to score cheap, cheap, cheap political points. Common sense should say to him ‘ Michael , ole boy, let me look closer at these rape allegations in the island I represent and see the motive behind them and the powers that be that are behind them and this sensational and negative reporting. Michael should say to himself, you know Grand Bahama suffered through the hurricanes and the pandemic and the people of Grand Bahama were long suffering and resilient. NO accusation if any visitors being mistreated or violated. None Now as redemption and recovery draweth nigh, two men are accused of drugging and raping two tourists. Something has to be very wrong with that picture. And Pintard should not allow himself to be used as a political pawn to call the prime minister a dictator. Especially by a media group that has less fair, more negative and less balance than the state owned ZNS!

Your ways are not my ways and your message is not my message. My drugs is reality, and yes sometimes it can be dangerous when facing people like you. What drugs are you on?

Your ways are not my ways, hence reality and even an inkling of the truth appears like a drug to you. And it is dangerous to your agenda because yours is a wicked one.

Do you know at one time Canada had what was known as a ‘fruit machine?’ It was a device they used to test males employed in government and in the military to determine if they were gay. In short the subject was forced to watch porn and his bodily responses like sweating, eye motion, twitching etc were all monitored. Then a determination was made ( by the machine ) if he was gay or straight. The bottom line is Canada is now a country that has opened its doors and is eagerly welcoming gay people. After subjecting it’s military and it’s government workers to that humiliating experience and firing or dismissing hundreds of them.

Maybe that was the Tribunes editor’s intention. Add fuel to the fire. Then run back to his hometown whilst the country ‘burns’ too. Even to find a more raging fire where he runs to.

‘ 34Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 37I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word. 38I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father. b ”

The real news story should have been ‘ The Police say they have solved 50 percent of the murders occurring in 2024 AND a number of the murders were connected.’ Meaning there was no outright increase in crime and now that the persons involved in that incident have been arrested and have ( unfortunately) lost their lives, the crime situation should deflate to usual levels . But for The Tribune, it’s attack on the prime minister was a bigger headline in a moment where the country was in crisis and many people where in sonic and the international press was feeding on the situation, Snd for those who question my sanity, maybe you should question the rationale and agenda of the management of the Tribune media who had their cackling hens focus on their fight with the prime minister rather than the real news headline that could help put this country back on its economic feet, turn things right side up and restore the surety of safety amongst the tourist population. And a quick research will confirm that when it appears that talk show hosts are being dictated to at a micro level, not only do those hosts loose credibility and popularity, but their show audience fry up and the show disappears within a matter of months . That is not just here in The Bahamas but the industry standard. The Tribune’s only FOUR bloggers are so use to coming here posting hate filled and disparaging remarks about Bahamians and The Bahamas, their feathers become ruffled when their comfort zone is interrupted. So carry on smartly. The Tribune’s management had clearly demonstrated their intentions.
