It was disheartening, but not shocking, to learn that financially powerful people were funding Loretta Butler-Turner in her attempts to unseat Hubert Minnis as leader of the opposition and head of the FNM party. Butler-Turner admitted that Izmirilian provided her funds for the convention to challenge Minnis for the leadership post, among other things. She further admitted it was not her idea to send the letter of no confidence to the governor general that resulted in Minnis being removed as leader of the opposition. But she went along with the others, some who had only recently been kicked out of the PLP. How can you ever elect someone back to high office who has politically and openly prostituted herself in this fashion? Taking actions that almost totally destroyed the elected opposition and the official opposition party as well as the second opposition party in the country. Imagine if she was ever prime minister. She would sell out the country and the Bahamian people. There is no forgiveness for Butler's action, at least not immediately. She is a traitor, a dangerous one. Her popularity and trustworthiness is shot and the election results will prove it. And whilst she was busy at work, trying to cut a pound of flesh from nearest Hubert Minnis heart, the biggest political harlot, dressed in red even, a roaring wolf in sheep clothing, Rodney Concur. He was busy at work trying to destroy Minnis in the public's eye. And his claim was that he was instructed to do so by former prime minister, Hubert Ingraham. This Concur political animal spent weeks and months attacking Minnis about a lease agreement that existed under both the PLP and FNM governments. A lease that continues because both governments admit that there is no other suitable building to replace the one under the lease. Then for months Rodney Concur drove his sheep to the slaughter, telling them not to register and begging them not to vote. Begging them not to vote. Then at the ninth hour, after the register had closed, this political deviser, removed his sheep's disguise, endorsed Perry Christie, for another term as prime minister, and marched with him to nominate. This was despite claiming to still be an FNM, and after accepting a senate appointment from Loretta Butler, who herself, had been publicly deceived and politically derailed. So in essence Butler-Turner appointed a member of the ruling PLP government to sit in the opposition's senate seat. A man who was praying openly for God to send a tidal wave to wash Bah Mar into the sea and out in the ocean. Yet this deceiving hypocrite was seen toting rolls of French bread and chocolate from Bah Mar as fast as the bread come out of the oven. And now he is the mouthpiece for the PLp on every propaganda media they have after the lights in his own show have been shut off and the microphones silenced...finally, after creating so much political mischief and misleading so many.

Wasn't this event supposed to be next week? How did it come to clash with the Exuma Regatta and cause chaos with travel, hotel bookings, ground transportation and everything else? A good opportunity gone bad. Hopefully it will be re scheduled

Perry put Bernard Nottage in one of the most strenuous posts (national security) and kept him there. This is to ensure that when Christie goes, Nottage goes with him. No more forming a new party, no more chances at being PM. It's from here to the rocking chair. Last night was not only hot but very humid and most likely Bernard Nottage suffered what the old people called a heat stroke. Pressure , age and heat will bring these on. He should not seek to stay in that post for another five years. Especially with the ghosts of over 600 murder victims calling out for justice.

@ Birdiestrachan..check your facts, the boy was not black.

John says...

So did BJ suffer a mild stroke last night of was he just suffering from exhaustion. He needs to stop following Perry Christie and go into retirement. Not that his performance as minister of national security is at all impressive. Go home ole boy and get some rest. Look how they are falling one by one. Didn't Miles Mumford tell you that?

What would be the cost of holding a commission of inquiry versus the benefit? Most commissions are inconclusive as to whether a crime has been committed and will only recommend police action based on the preponderance of evidence. And by the time the commission is done sending for persons and papers and bring out dirty linen here and there millions of the people's money will have been spent with no tangible benefits. So someone must have the fortitude, yes testicular, to act on the commissions recommendations But in the alternative, many of them, like Perry Chrisite, Bernard Nottage, Allison Maynard-Gibson Alfred Gray will never seek to be elected to public office again, should they get kicked out on May 10, if only because of age constraints. Then you have the Shane Gibsons' and the Jerome Fitzgeralds' and others who will be too tainted to run again and win. At least in the interim. So they really get away with robbing the public purse and/or enriching themselves.

If you ride past the pm's residence you will see only PLP posters. But if you look closely you will see remnants of FNM posters that have been torn down or covered with PLP posters. If you drive in Fox Hill around the park, the same thing. If you pass on Carmichael From Gladstone Road going West, every single DNA poster, that has been place high up on the lamp pole pout of ordinary reach, has been torn in half or completely ripped down and in other areas PLP posters have been torn down or defaced or covered up. The FNM seems like a happy bunch, who feels they are headed towards victory (some say 22 17, others say 20-17-02., but the 17 PLP seems constant),and will not do anything stupid to jeopardize their victory. The DNA is a more quiet bunch. Self motivated and knocking on every door, getting their message out and prepared to accept the outcome of the elections. The PLP is a bunch of sour grapes. Many are aggressive rebel rousers. They seem to have already tasted the agony of defeat and seems determined to wreak havoc on everyone else.

Obviously they did not read the full bible. Christ says "behold I have told you everything." The bible says the end shall not come until all the prophecies are fulfilled. It also says the son of perdition Satan) must also be revealed. The great harlot that sits on seven hills will be identified, and Mystery Babylon (the empire that sits on many nations) will be destroyed (that country is no longer a mystery. The bible also identifies UFO's one thas been hovering the earth since the 1930's and may have caused a president his life because he wanted to make it public, "This was the appearance and structure of the wheels: They sparkled like topaz, and all four looked alike. Each appeared to be made like a wheel intersecting a wheel." Do you know why the earth is tilted 26 degrees off its axis? The bible also why there are two sets of Jews, one set are vastly rich and controlling the majority of wealth of the worlds, and the others are dirt poor, been taken to a strange land in great ships and put into slavery, are in prisons around the world, are plagued with diseases, have children, but never get to see some of them grow to adults, marry women but have other men come sleep with them, are borrowers and not lenders, but continue to serve the Lord. And when the true choosen people of God are redeemed his promise to them; "I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars--I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you." Amen

The same can be said for America's war of drugs. been going on for decades and while hundreds of thousands if not millions of persons have been or are in jail for small amounts of drugs, the problem still exist. The US was even experimenting with legalising marijuana and growing it, but that seem to lead to other major problems including increases in other crimes and other anti social behaviours. So Trump says there will be no more legal recreational marijuana. But there is still the abuse of cocaine, crystal metg, opioids and other prescription drugs. So unless you eliminate the problems removing one or two players every now and then in not effective. is their economic situation driving young men to crime and other anti-social behaviour? is the government taking the right approach by waiting until the police has to get involved? why is there such a great usage/abuse of drugs and alcohol in this country and what is being done about it? what is being about gangs in the Bahamas and what is being to stem their growth and,eventually eliminate them? What is an effective deterrent to murder and how does government propose to stem the dangerously increasing incidence of murder/ what effect does urban sprawl have on peoples behaviour and how can government minimise the negative effects of urban sprawl especially in New Providence and Grand Bahama and also preempt it in Abaco, Eleuthera and Exuma? What effect does a change in diet have on Bahamian people, especially as it relates to Bahamians living in New Providence and Grand Bahama> Especially as it relates to the change from eating a balanced well cooked meal to eating unbalanced, unhealthy, processed and preserved fast foods that many contain goo's and are known to cause health problems?
