So when is the Health Department going to start cracking down on these liquor stores that sell stale beer and Guinness. They are mostly Chinese and they clean off the expiry date off the product. Some customers don’t realize they are purchasing expired products and others look for the expiry date when the product has a funny taste only to find there’s none. Are they still checking food stores for expired products as well? For example you go in the major food stores during the Christmas and their coolers are filled high with ham and turkeys. Only half of these sell and the rest remain in the cooler until the next Christmas. Then they are mixed in with the new product. Some of those must be 5 or 6 years in the cooler.

breaking news: with 38 States in the US plus Guam, Hawaii and Puerto Rico legalizing medical Mayans another 5 or 6 States making recreational weed legal, President Trump has promised to quash these laws and enforce Federal laws that make marijuana illegal. This has come as a shock to many states as Trump made a campaign promise not to interfere with individual states decisions to legalize marijuana. WEED has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry in the US And was a tactical response to America’s failed war on drugs. President Obama gave states the right to legalize or at least decriminalize the posesssion of small amounts of marijuana because many found themselves getting hefty fines or heavy jail sentences. The drug possession laws did not favor Blacks or other minority’s and many believe this is part of the reason Trump is refunding Obama’s laws. In addition, many feel Trump is pandering to his big business friends who are in the cigarettes and alcohol industries. Many states have wowyto fight the attorney general’s ruling.

Does anyone else realize New Providence has gone through the longest period of time with the least amount of dump fires since the last Waste management company quit more than 13 months ago? So whoever is at the dump now and doing what they are doing and keeping the dump fires under control not only needs to be commended for their excellent job, but also needs to be made a part of any new management team that comes in. This proves Bahamians can perform even when foreigners fail.

Make it clear...I am not an advocate of legalizing marijuana. Not on the surface and not for recreation. For medicinal use, yes..It is a natural substance and has far more less side effects than most man made drugs on the market. Young people have enough traps set for them to fall in without weed. That being said marijuana, as a contraband, has destroyed more lives i the past 30 years that it would have done if it was legal or at least decriminalized. Again I don't advocate legalizing it for recreational purposes, but decriminalizing it with strict guidelines. Reality hit home a few years ago when a family member was stricken with cancer. After they stopped responding to chemo and all other medications, their doctor mentioned (off the record). Give them some marijuana to aid with the pain and make their lives more comfortable in their last days (gender is intentionally not being mentioned) Of course this family member, you couldn't approach them with the ideas of marijuana and worse for smoking. fortunately their time on earth was cut short and their suffering was minimal. ANd while legalization of marijuana may not be on the FNM's government agenda by choice, they will eventually have to face the music. If the substance becomes legal to the North West of the Bahamas and to the South and East of the Bahamas. how can they dodge the bullet? They cannot bury their heads in the sand and say "nobody can see me."

Tal said he has been on Hypo Weed for the last 10-15 years and anyone who even attempts to comprehend, his weed-induced gibberish, after several failed attempts, must also be high and/or a complete jack ass!

This article again begs the question: If Junkanoo is all, (ALL) that is is said to be, research, development, planning, design, creativity, constuction, performance and whatever, man hours that are unmentionable and cannot be compensated for, why is it still being showed so much despise and disrespect..Why is it being forced into a box?. More like casting pearls before swines...?
"In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast. ye your pearls before swine, **lest they trample them. under their feet**, and turn again and rend you.
Matthew 7:6 -">
Not those that attend and appreciate Junkanoo, mind you, or even watch it on tv or somehow otherwise contribute to its existence and its continuation but those who are trying to force-fit it or even do away with it.

@bahamama...then the purpose and intention for making the law is false and based on fraud. If you have no data, how can you dare say it is a major problem in the country? There are hospital records and other means to verify the incidence of rape in a marriage. Then there are marriage counselors and clergyman and even divorce lawyers hardly any of whom have come forward to say, yes marital rape is a serious problem in this country. In fact the contrary is true. When couples file for divorce the claim is that one party or both have been withholding sex. Once you start to fritter away the rights of marriage, you make it, less sacred and less of a necessity.

So where are the police statistics to confirm that marital rape is a major problem in this country? Where are the scores of married Bahamian women (without hyphenated last names) who are lining up for this law to be passed so they can bring charges against their husbands? Why would this government go a whoring and listening-to and being guided by some foreign woman who will disappear as soon as the law is set and won’t be around to see the devastation it will cause. And since the church is responsible for the administration of Holy Matrimony what and where is their input? Will the wedding wows have to be changed to say a married couple no longer becomes one flesh? Will the man no longer have to wow to love and cherish his wife? And will the married woman no longer have to promise to submit to her husband because she can call the police and have him charge with sexual assault or attempted rape if he tries to get her in the mood? Do married couples now have to put cameras and/or listening devices in their bedrooms (males especially) to protect their innocence? Does this country now need to remove the preamble from the country as it now seeks to tamper with the laws of God?

And while Donald Trump is still gabbling about building a wall on the Mexican boarder do you know 80-90% of crops in California andyhe South West States are being harvested by illegal Mexican immigrants? They cross the border during the planting season then most of them go home and return for the harvesting.Why isn’t immigration rules enforced against farmers and illegals workers? Well from time to time farms are raided and farmers get small fines. But the economics of blocking these migrant workers completely or hitting farmers with heavier fines will send food prices through the roof.

The bitcoin is trading at 15,000 (Fifteen Thousand Times) it’s original value. It was created tongue in cheek as toy money to pay’fun’ debts one incurred over the internet. Of course it climbed off the computer and intermingled with true currency and real trading. Persons have become filthy rich trading in the bitcoin. The wiser have converted their gains to real currency. So while one cannot ignore the existence of the bitcoin and other crypto currencies these have no value backing them. Take a chance if you want but many iare going to be left holding empty bags. Remember that boomerang game where you wound up this ‘bomb’ and passed it from person to person until it exploded..there you have it
