The attacks on men and Christianity know no limits. Why is the source a mystery? Why is the source of the Corona virus now being questioned, and Chinese media are suggesting it originated in either India or Italy. Those who haven't read the book "1984" by Orwell, need to do so. It is free online. Hurry before it too goes down the memory hole.

Young men in this country get the short end of the stick. Wind up in jail and have lifetime police records. They have no fathers. I have asked the government year after year to outlaw the importation of Father's Day cards into this country - but they refuse to do so, instead playing along with the pretense like a scene in Hamlet.

Tribanon, you must not be aware of the extraordinary power of the Abaco Haitian Pastor's Association. Their flock need work, and they have more flock there now than before Dorian. They are now all over the out islands such as Hope Town and Green Turtle and Guana etc, along with their new town in Treasure Cay. Guana is the new Mudd, and some are even calling it Guana Mudd (LOL). This phenomenon is also striking Eleuthera from end to end, and Andros.

Does anybody know how these Haitians are obtaining food and water while Bahamians are going to bed hungry? One reason is the NGOs are helping them, but that's not the only reason. Go to Abaco and look where the NGOs are doing the bulk of their work. It is rumored that foreign home owners are hiring them left and right. And, sad to say, even many Bahamians are likely hiring them, since it is said that they did in the past.

it is said that if a starving Bahamian found a slice of bread on the road and picked it up to eat it, but two Haitians happened to be passing by, he would hand it to them for their nourishment.

They are just like the Chinese. There is no stopping them. I don't know why the government even spends money printing Bahamian Passports anymore. What value are they?

This is so very very funny. As I predicted, this December thing would be a non-starter. Now they talking about first quarter - LOL !!!! So funny. There won't be no first quarter or second quarter pick up in tourists as long as we have this stupid health visa and other red tape preventing both tourists and Bahamians from moving. We can't even go from island to island.

Now government is just eyeing big money on these freezers they wanna get one for each island - LOL. The money never stops on their side does it?

Get rid of the health visa and get rid of the test requirements, or we can all starve together.

Tribanon, you are totally correct. Perhaps it is a good thing that this Covid came and is showing us that we are surviving without the cruise ships. This is because we actually survived without them anyway because we got next to nothing from them.

More and more Bahamians are waking up and realizing the true value of things and learning that all that glitters isn't gold.

Rest assured though, the government will not allow any new industries to flourish here because they won't be able to control them. This aragonite thing that Lincoln playing with will be quashed right away - no way the government gonna let ordinary Bahamians get their hands on any real amount of money.

If you allow a slave to earn enough money to buy a horse, he will buy one and ride away on it.

Maybe he can speak with his good buddy Loretta Butler (LOL) and start a brand new political party? LOL.

To me, he will always be known as "the man who couldn't find the VAT money."

"Where the VAT money gone?" We will never know.

"However, in an interview yesterday, Dwayne Woods, Bahamas Utility Services and Allied Workers Union president, said BUSAWU was aggrieved for various reasons, including reportedly not being given adequate notice to allow workers to plan not to receive the bonus."

Plan not to receive it?????????? What planet these people been living on. So, he is suggesting that the government might have to pay the change date fee on their airline tickets that they already bought to Miami???????????? LOL.

These people must never notice the homeless people living on the sidewalks as they drive to and from work. Bear in mind that a chain (and a society) is only as strong as its weakest link. As long as we (and the USA) have homeless people, hungry people, we will always be at the mercy of the Devil's whims. The Devil is now preparing to send China (that atheist dictatorship) here and to the USA to do his bidding. They already have roots in the Bahamas and even bigger roots in the USA, so the hard work has already been done. It's going to be easy for them to make mince meat out of both of us. Notice how nothing can be done against Rep. Eric Swalwell, nor the TikTok app. They have everyone under their thumb. Even Bahamians go to "the Chinese" for their "little grocery". All that "little grocery" adds up to big money transferred to Beijing to buy weapons to use on us.

Even today it was reported that Canada had agreed to allow Chinese military to come in to be be trained in "cold weather" tactics at the base in Petawawa. Rest assured, those few remaining officers in the Pentagon who gave the order to Canada, are about to be swiftly removed on Jan 21st, once Biden sits in his chair. The will just begin their training in late January instead. I believe we are past the point of no return now, and the entire western world will be crushed. But, yeah, that $700 could be a big deal - LOL.

Mr. Ngumi, hopefully someone in Nassau will pass you this message:

1. Do not allow your lawyer to appeal the case for more money. The same thing was done with the Japanese guy, I have never heard that he actually got any money. If the govt has been ordered by the Court to pay you over 600 thousand, take it as soon as they can give it to you. Of course your lawyer will take his cut, but you will still have more than most can every dream to have.

2. You need legal documents to be able to open a bank account to be able to put the money in. Speak with the United Nations Refugee people about getting you the refugee card. It is a legal document that is accepted here in the Bahamas as well. They will understand what a fool's errand it is for you to try and get documents from your country. Do you really think Kenya is going to help you? They will say they "lost your documents" or "lost your file" - it is a standard practice in government circles (we are familiar with this here as well). Many files are lost in the Bahamas at opportune times.

3. Tell your lawyer to don't jive around, and accept the Court's ruling and get the cheque and give you your cheque. In the meantime (cause only God knows how long it would be before Treasury cuts the cheque - they might lose your file a few times along the way LOL), let your lawyer show you documentation of his correspondence with UN and go yourself to their offices in Nassau and ask for assistance with legal identification documents that will allow you to open a bank account.

4. Buy a CHEAP duplex in the Carmichael area. Put on side on rent - but don't be in no hurry to find a tenant - good tenants are hard to find, especially now in this economy. Only rent to someone who works at Atlantis or Baha Mar, and have worked there for no less than 2 years.

5. Do not buy your duplex with a loan from the bank, pay cash. Buy one that is beat up and messed up quite a bit to get a low price. Anything like that is better than a car and you can fix it up slowly. Don't pay more than $70,000 cash for the duplex. Who don't want that can go scratch. Buy yourself a van instead to live in more comfortable until the economy affords you such a price. Talk to the banks for the repossessed properties, to get a good deal.

6. Put two thirds of whatever is remaining into fixed accounts that mature every 3 months. Tell the bank to put the interest along with an additional $3000 from it, into a regular savings account every 3 months and live off of that. It would be a LOT more than you've been living off of. Don't get greedy. Getting greedy is why so many Lottery winners are living on the streets today.

7. Get a business license for $100, but do NOT open a mechanic shop. Just go and work on cars at people's own driveways. Do not spend money on rent or anything like that for your business. It is a trap that will make you poor.

"The alternative of the nation descending into disorder and conflict is surely too ghastly to contemplate."

No sir. The fight is there to be had and to be won. Using your suggestion, the USA would still be under British rule because the thought of so much tea being spilled into the harbour would have been too ghastly to contemplate.

Freedom is never free, and every so often it has to be re-won when you have a significant portion of the population forgetting (or never being taught) how it came about in the first place. Forgetting history is not a good thing, This new lot wants to tear down statues which remind them from whence they came. Their youth will know nothing of the struggle, and will be sitting ducks ready to be taken advantage of by the upper class - and slavery will rise again. Slavery does not exist inside a statue, but inside someone's mind and their intentions.

Anyway, this whole discussion is really without any purpose, because I'm sure that China already has all the bases covered. Interesting that you should choose to have an article on China along with one on the election. Very appropriate.

"...and yes, perhaps fraud as well – but that these are judged to be insufficiently serious to justify overturning the election result. This would require the whole electoral process across many states to be cleaned up."

Why? Why clean up a process that has been pronounced thousands of times over the past month to be so clean and pure, without error, no evidence of fraud, a fair election - all these have been stated.

What instead should happen is the Congress should pass resolution encouraging each and every state legislature to pass a law forbidding any changes to election law or county election regulations and procedures for the next 4 years. Now that Republicans have become aware of the new rules of the game (the hard way), it is only fair to allow them to take advantage of these same methods in the next 2 elections (mid-term in 2022 and Pres in 2024).

Next time, in Republican controlled counties, Democrats can be kept 50 feet away from the tables (there is no need for a pandemic to do this, since the pandemic currently does not require social distancing of 50ft, but only 6ft). If the pandemic is resolved, they can still impose this (you just don't do it until the counting begins of course).

Extra ballots under the tables, truck loads of crisp ballots that clearly were never inside of any envelope or held by a human hand can be carted in on a whim.

It would be grossly unfair to change any of these wonderful regulations, preventing Republicans from taking advantage of them next time. I predict that in the 2024 election, our of 187 million eligible voters, we will have no less than 300 million ballots cast. Hooray.

"He said: “…We have to actually action it, not just talk about it like fixed election dates or a two-term limit for the prime minister and the ability to recall MPs, like this administration campaigned (on) . Likewise, the Freedom of Information Act, like you marched for with We March."

And also make election day a holiday, and the day after election day too.

Good point about the "We March" - that dude been pretty quiet up there in Senate chambers eh? All about the people he was. Uhm.
