Monique Pindling has the gall to say the PLP of yesterday under her father SLOP was a better PLP! It was her corrupt father SLOP who paved the way for the corrupt FNM and PLP governments led by Ingraham and Christie, respectively, starting in 1992!! Try as she may, Monique Pindling cannot re-write history and change the cursed course that her father SLOP charted for our country!!! These Pindlings all have a warped sense of righteous self-entitlement and elitism that they refuse to relinquish no matter how many times they are named and shamed for their involvement in conflicts of interest, corruption and wrong doing. We really need to rename our main airport back to Nassau International Airport at the same time we get rid of that white Christopher Columbus statue on the steps leading up to Government House!

Minnis is anything but an astute politician. He has yet to understand and appreciate the significance of the fact that the overwhelming majority of votes received by the FNM in the last general election were from voters who could not stomach the PLP anymore rather than from voters who are fervent supporters of Minnis and the FNM. By turning his back to the Bahamian people and kowtowing to the interests of Haitians illegally residing in our country, Minnis is committing political suicide not only for himself, but also the FNM party. There is already a fast growing large secretive block of FNM voters in the Killarney constituency, now numbering in excess of 1,300 registered voters, who say they will vote for anyone but Minnis the next time around, even if it means casting their vote for a PLP candidate. Minnis is going to learn the hard political lesson that the Bahamian people do not tolerate betrayal and its something they will never forget.

**everyone please be quiet! Now cup your ears with your hands and listen very carefully. Can you hear that constant swooshing sound in the background? That's the sound of mega millions and millions of U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars leaving our country every year for Haiti, South Florida and Montreal, Canada.** This enormous yearly outflow of monies from our country is attributable to Haitians illegal residing in the Bahamas who purchase hard currencies with their Bahamian dollars to send abroad to their family members living in Haiti, South Florida and Canada. And to think our PM and Minister of Immigration appear supportive of this enormous ongoing drain of financial resources from our economy! Small wonder our Minister of Finance (K P Turnquest) has his hands full with the the grave repercussions of the slowing velocity of money in our economy. Small wonder too that our Central Bank is unable to maintain foreign currency reserves at the recommended minimum level equal to the expected value of imported goods & services for the next three months. What a joke!!!

Pindling, Ingraham and Christie all played a big role in allowing our public healthcare system to fall apart at every seam. Minnis, having previously served as Minister of Health, will unlikely do much as PM to change the ongoing steady decline in healthcare conditions. But we can count on Minnis and Sands using the failed state of our public healthcare system as the perfect excuse for borrowing many more millions and millions of dollars to be dished out to the 'chosen favoured few' under heavily padded contracts that will, when all is said and done, do little if anything towards the betterment of healthcare.

A reminder of the deplorable standard of living for many Bahamians today, not to mention our failed public healthcare system. We are a 'banana republic' producing disease and hardship for our people instead of bananas for export.

If Frankie Campbell's purported Bahamian father, whomever he may be or was if now deceased, had no involvement whatsoever in the application process for Frankie's Bahamian citizen, then the application must be found to have been fatally flawed, in which case Frankie has never held Bahamian citizenship. Frankie's purported Bahamian father would have had to, among other things, produce required original documents to evidence his (the father's) Bahamian citizenship and also swear an affidavit and/or produce an official or certified copy of Frankie's birth certificate naming him as Frankie's father. If this did not happen, then there is no way Frankie can claim to hold Bahamian citizenship by virtue of his father purportedly being a Bahamian citizen. Ergo, Frankie was ineligible to be nominated as a candidate in the last general election and is not a sitting MP.
