Not just Minnis and Christie, but brent symonette too!

My, my, oh my. Just look at Christie in the above photo to this article. You can almost hear him softly saying: "But I only have wanting eyes for you."

Sears as PM would be the equivalent of turning the keys to our country over to the numbers' bosses. Can you just imagine the likes of Craig Flowers and Sebas Bastian running our country through their puppet Sears?!!

A letter of intent (LOI) is never a binding commitment until it has been duly approved and executed. No such LOI was ever entered into as it would have required written approval by the Minister of Finance and in all likelihood a parliamentary resolution of approval given the financial amount involved. Only then could it have been signed by one or more duly authorized signatories of the government. Wells signing the LOI with no authority to do so in any circumstance had no significance or consequence for Stellar Energy from the stand point of creating any kind of binding commitment. The same goes for any government correspondence discussing the feasibility or likelihood of the waste project coming into fruition. Whatever Stellar Energy and its principals may have foolishly done without having a binding commitment in hand from our government is their business. Their lawyers should have advised them that certain protocols are required to be followed by our government in approving and authorizing any such commitment as a matter of Bahamian law. They should therefore be suing their lawyers who appear not to have served them well, but as for suing our government (the Bahamian people), that's a whole different bowl of malarkey for which they should be laughed out of court!

The white haired poodle is indeed an annoying yapping antagonizer lacking in political clout. If throwing him a bone to chew on does not help quiet him down, then he may need instead a good dowsing of highly effective flea powder. His over-sized Cornell fed ego occasionally gives him an incredibly irritating itch resulting in spontaneous fits of yapping!

You obviously don't know the real Minnis. There is a side to him you are very lucky not to know. Our financially crippled country is on life support and barely surviving under Christie; it would not survive one year with Minnis as PM! The safe bet in the next general election is to vote for the independent candidate running in your constituency or not vote at all. Just don't support any existing or wannabe politician with ties to the PLP, FNM or DNA; they're all corrupt incompetent dead beats.

Court judges who are content not to hold in contempt those who have clearly decided to disobey the Orders of the Court as set out in their rulings should be made to resign. Justice Isaacs and Justice Evans are apparently two such judges. This particular matter appears to be but one shining example of numerous other instances where these two judges appear to have "conveniently" failed to discharge their sworn duty to uphold the laws of our land. By failing to do so, they are showing the Bahamian people and the whole world that we have sitting judges who contribute to the current dysfunctional nature of our legal system thereby jeopardizing our entire system of government. It is bad enough that the corrupt Christie-led PLP government and the current Attorney General (Allyson Maynard-Gibson aka the Wicked Witch of the West) have repeatedly abused our judiciary in most unseemly ways for their own political purposes; we certainly do not need to add to the woes of our legal system sitting judges who simply refuse to discharge their duties by allowing individuals (whoever they may be) to hold our Supreme Court in contempt! It is shameful that not one of the QCs in our country today, nor any senior representative of the Bahamas Bar Association, is willing to speak out loudly about the harmful effects that untimely court rulings and unenforced court orders are having on our legal system and the public's trust and faith in it.
