Most people in the US only become tangentially aware of politics during presidential elections in the US; off year and midterm turnout is much, much lower than presidential years. Nobody but the politically attuned really cares about this, and everyone had their mind made up a long time ago about Trump anyways. The honeypot from Jan 6th is not the big deal that US Pravdas are trying to spin it to be, especially considering the "summer of love" that happened beforehand. People are not stupid.
What people do care about is their wallet and with out of control inflation plus a recession (that quite frankly might go into full blown depression depending on how things play out in the coming months), nobody is on the Biden run right now. Those of us who were warning about all of this are being vindicated in real time, and no amount of "redefining" will improve the economic prospects in America. The Emperor has no clothes and everyone knows it.
The Bahamas has a massive culture problem, and this problem is never going to go away until that issue is addressed (which it won't be, because there is too much pride to admit that there is a problem).
They are so comfortable in the stupidity of the average Bahamian that they are flaunting it in our faces now, trying to tell us what those of us who have been paying attention knew all along.
One question that needs to be asked is where are these people getting the money to pay these smugglers from? These journeys cost thousands of dollars, and this run was easily a six figure trip for the captain.
Haiti is a failed state that should quite frankly cease to exist, the only explanation is that they are getting money sent from the outside. Maybe we just need to ban money transfers into Haiti until some country willing to shoulder the burden of taking over steps forward.
Who decides whether a group is "fringe" or not? The vast majority of Bahamians would support the reintroduction of capital punishment if polling were conducted right now. The justice system is a joke in this country, and these killers know that and don't take it seriously.
Stagflation is here to stay. I called it from Jan 2021, Jimmy Carter 2.0 (but senile). America's pain is self inflicted, you cannot just freely print money by the millions and not expect inflation to spread like wildfire. Canceling Keystone XL really came back to bite America in the backside as well. Pissing off Russia, Saudi Arabia, Venezuala, Iran & co. while curtailing your own production is a sure fire way to end up with the crazy gas prices we are seeing today.
I advise everyone I know to leave America. The economic problems are only going to get worse, I fully expect to see 1920s and 30s breadlines in the near future, and they are in an undeclared war with Russia. Get yours sons and daughters out now if they have a US passport, because it isn't worth it to die as drafted cannon fodder in some Eastern European craphole. There is going to be no putting the Russian bear back in the cage once he is provoked out.
I agree with that assessment on the surface, but remember that the Bahamian economy is not structured in a traditional way as well. The idea with having tariffs as a big revenue generator was to avoid having an income tax, which was itself born out of the need to market the Bahamas to wealthy Westerners looking for a tax haven. Needless to say that plan worked very well, and despite the destruction of the offshore banking industry, we still are a leading choice for wealthy Westerners looking for a jurisdiction to live in for tax purposes. The real estate industry is booming right now due to all the Americans fleeing the Biden disaster and I even know Canadians that are biting the bullet of conversion fees and moving here to escape the Trudeau dictatorship in Canada. If anything, we need to have even more incentives to attract big money here because the big money is trying to get out of the US right now.
IMO the tariffs should have been lowered drastically after the implementation of VAT, and we should have completed the WTO accession process while negotiating during the accession to protect certain industries from foreign competition. The whole idea of implementing VAT was to be a stepping stone to WTO accession, but needless to say I don't think that will happen in any of our lifetimes.
I do not consider homosexuality a mental illness, it is more of a perversion in the same vein as gluttony, fornication, alcoholism, etc. Everyone has their own struggle, some have issues with drink, fornication, greed, anger, pride, and some just happen to be attracted to the same sex for whatever reason.
That being said, transexualism is without a doubt mental illness. You have to be completely insane to want to cut your dick & balls/breasts off. A million surgeries is not going to turn you into the opposite sex. A male transexual is still going to have male pattern baldness no matter how much estrogen he takes. Biology does not lie.
Read that Twitter thread if you want to find out about the horrifying BS that these people are trying to promote. This is what they are trying to sneak into our country and I will be damned before I let it happen.
