Barack Obama spent eight years of his presidency dealing with the issue of citizenship. Then after his first term he decided to let their detractors have their say. But no one could disprove he was a citizen. Remember Donald Trump was one you led these protests. Major distraction is all they are.

Two things went wrong with Carl's Jr. 1. It lost its taste appeal to Bahamians (remember the crowds when it first opened)? (2) The international concern about Carl's grilling method being unsafe and (probably) cancer causing. The jury is still out on whether Popeye's is just a trend, whose bubble will eventually burst or if its here to stay. Many Bahamians live off fast food not realizing they are not healthy and do not contain the same nutrients as home cooked meals. For some when they get the craving they just have to have it.

But yet there are legitimate questions that need answers. For example a young man who was born here to Haitians parents and been here for 21 years. His status is not confirmed but he has never been to any other country except The Bahamas. So now is he to pack up and go to a country he never knew? Then there is the question of children of illegals who now have children in the Bahamas. What is the status of these children? (They are Grand children of illegals) but born in the Bahamas second generation. They definitely don’t know anything about Haiti or even Jamaica in some cases. The law does say children of illegals must follow the parents. But do they get a chance to apply at the age of 18?

Not to worry about what the prime minister may have said yesterday. The big , yellow school bus was on the road bright and early. And, as usual , immigration officers were stopping people on their way to work asking for proof of citizenship. And those who break off running was chased down and put on the bus. Detention center.

So where are the FNM...aren't they suppose to be grabbing headlines to distract and draw attention away from the convention?. or maybe they feel its no big deal since they have more than four years before the election. And the PLP still itchin from the cut hip they got in May 2017 Election. But still the FNM needs to be strategizing now to win two terms. 2022 is too early to let the PLP back to the reins of power. The FNM needs two terms to ensure that all the corrupt dinosaurs are gone forever. And one way to do it is to keep the PLP weak and straggely as long as possible.

Sheeprunner : when you refer to people’s children as pigs and hogs it could only be because you are a hog yourself. And to try qualiify your statement by trying to interject my family makes you even less credible. We have had many years of illigimate children and many children born out of wedlock or to single parents. If this was the single or major cause of crime in this country the problem will have manifested itself in the family islands. You are no more credible than Toronto Gal who claims she knows many Bahamian men with up to 20 children and up to 10 different baby mommas. But why Toronto Gal ain’t say what the fashion trend is in Toronto? For single white women to have ‘mixies ‘ or children with black men. So they come to the Bahamas, Jamaica and other Caribbean islands and get pregnant for native (black) men, some women do it two and three times over. And they parade strung Toronto and the world with these mixed black children, not unlike a pedigree poodle of some other prized pet. Then what happens when the child turns 16-16? They start asking for their father. And in many cases the mother cannot answer because she didn’t document who the father was or keep in contact with him. And in many cases the children come to the Bahamas, Jamaica or some other island looking for their daddy. Just recently a young man came to Freeport from the Maple 🍁 Leaf looking for his daddy. The Bahamian man had married and lived with the Canadian woman for a number of years. Then one day he came home to meet the house cleaned out and his wife and children gone. He spent many years and a lot of money back and forth to Canada trying to find his family. Then he took I’ll fr the stress of losing his family. The son met his father 3 days before he died. The sons last words before leaving the Bahamas was ‘I don’t care to see my mom again. She destroyed me and made me nobody.”

And your snout!

@sheeprunner you should have thought about that sterilization rule when y’all was forcing slaves to breed like farm animals and then breaking up families and selling them like cattle. Yes fathers abandoning their children is learnt behavior but the hogs are the ones who forced them to breed. Look at your hands.

Toronto Gall “I know of so many men who brag about having 25-30 children ‘. You and the truth are strangers. Your lie is a bold face one. And if you don’t have credible substance to contribute you should keep quiet. The latest murder victim, like many, had a father who was taking care of his son and actively involved in his life. When he realized his son was caught up in the crossfire of different gangs he called out for help. His pleas went unanswered. The father took his son out of school to avoid him getting in conflict only to have him ambushed and killed just a short distance from his home, from police headquarters and from the hospital. You and the facts are strangers. You are a dirty stranger to the truth. Many of these young boys being killed do so trying to avoid gangs and gang activity. Like you, gangs are foreign to the Bahamas and once the police get a grip and squash this foreign element then the murders will cease and the young men and everyone else in the country will be safe.

Kudos to those police officers who uncovered a cache of weapons and ammunition hidden in a refrigerator being imported into the country. And on further investigation found more weapons and ammunition in a home. Several persons are now in custody and hopefully the law will not smile brightly on them. Time this weapons smuggling and sales be exposed.
