What happened to all of Minnis' millions? Oh yes, that's right - when he became leader of the FNM he told the donor's committee that he is not putting any money into his party and that they need to get and give him whatever money is needed to keep the party going. He has his minions crying about white people, but wants the white donors of the party to make sure he has a party to keep and ruin.

Now that's leadership for you, right?

> Do they have any sort of public relations background, particularly the Bahamian kind? Where are all the smart people who are supposed to be helping them!? Wow.

Good question!

This was a bad statement by Sands. His political acumen is zero.

This is supposed to be a lead news story, but of course what is truly critical to the country does not sell papers, so...

Truth. PLP Ministers have given contracts through Minnis to council members to keep them loyal to him at the convention.

I must say though, that FNMs constantly doing this sort of thing in the press is beyond exhausting.

> THE conviction rate for Supreme Court cases up to April of this year was 71 per cent, a dramatic improvement from the 31 per cent that was recorded by the end of 2012,

It is painfully obvious that the media must have a pact somewhere which guarantees that nothing politicians say in this country be qualified.

Indeed. Everyone who knows, knows that he cannot read the national budget, does not understand it and never has - yet wants to run the country. Mr. Christie also has serious problems with being able to process and have a handle on the national budget, but for different reasons.

This has been Minnis' performance at Committee Stage of the Budget process every single year of Opposition. Nothing new at all, which speaks to what a disgraceful state the country is in, in terms of the State of the Opposition in a democracy.

This man is positively revolting.
