You back on this is what is obviously bullshyt??? Do you know there were four shark attacks on Abaco this month alone. All tourists. And dozens of shark attacks on Florida beaches where there is no fishing. The major problem is because of the high temperatures waters, a lot of shoals are ‘bleaching) dying. These shoals are feeding / breeding grounds to smaller fish that are food for sharks. So instead of sharks now swimming out to deeper waters to find food, they are coming in closer to shore and having encounters with humans. Just hope it is a shark that attacked this person and he wasn’t run over by a boat or something else. The injured ear sounds inconsistent with a shark bite.

The government killed the local economy with too many shockwaves. That coupled with what is going on internationally. And Bahamians decided they will not let anything interfere with their summer travel plans . So they took off faster than Davis could parouge the parliament. Leaving the local economy high and dry . They will face the music when they come back.

The government says they want to build Freeport without assistance from the port.

The article and subsequent editorial is being mostly ignored because Bahamians with common sense know the article is pure garbage juice without barely ba taint of reality. It is a suit tailored for the cloth and the agenda is marital rape. UB is known for putting contaminated band biased information/material even since they put out a ‘story’ that said one in three students at UB (then CoB) carried the AIDS virus. Laughing clowns, the bunch of them and their research.

Until you change the mindset,even if upcoming generations, the genocide and carnage will continue. Who benefits when young men are murdered almost daily for trivial ,no stupid,girlish matters? Gals with guns.

The days of Bible prophecy are here: msn must work a week just to eat bread. So most cannot buy anything else. The Bible also says ‘ I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their seedbed for bread.’ And so far even though Bahamians are paying higher prices, the country is still adequately fed. And yes, you must thank people like Rupert Roberts and other grocers and farmers and pharmacies and fishermen who try o keep food and medicines available at prices the market can bear.

cles from Saharan dust can irritate the skin and eyes. Smaller particles from Saharan dust can be inhaled and cause respiratory disorders and cardiovascular events. Some claim there are benefits of this red. Saharan dust. The iron it contains helps the sea life including plankton and some believe this vast mass of dust moving through the atmosphere helps remove more harmful pollutants. It also shields some of the most harmful brats of sun during the hottest time of the year.

This is a dumb, idiotic and fully misinformed post. On most Family Islands, fishermen clean and gut fish less than 100 yards from where the islanders swim. And even though there may be regular shark sightings there are literally no shark attacks. Compare that to Florida where there were seven SEVEN shark on the same beach in one week. And for the record, the cleaning of fish on this beach is prohibited.

Don’t worry the US state department is back up to their dirty, nasty tricks, trying to sabotage the Bahamas tourist industry, especially where it involves Bahamians trying to earn an honest dollar. Why don’t the US State Department broadcast that FIFTY persons lost their lives to murder on that country’s Independence Day. One was a seven year old boy who was caught up in the crossfire over an argument about a jet ski, ironically. Both the young boy and his grandfather were shot as they tried to escape the area of the beach where the argument over the jet ski was taking place. AND some cruise lines, including Disney, have made efforts to start and operate their own water sports businesses, including jet skis! Don’t let the US force Bahamians out of this business. They have more violence on their beaches , including shots being fired, in one day than the amount of violence that happens here in a year, especially any involving tourists.

We’ll Bell doesn’t get in trouble for lack of trying. Must give him that. His unorthodox ways of doing things and overreaching his powers is what does. And, apparently the politicians who are most active seems to come under the most fire. What would have been the outcome if bus loads of Chinese, who were brought here to this country, under normal circumstances of legal immigrant workers find themselves , through no fault of their own being bused to and detained at the detention center? Sometimes it takes as long as six months just to get a letter of good standing from NIB to complete the application for work permit renewal.
