instead of this response, why not say i'll be speaking to the matter at time 'x' which then gives opportunity to go away and craft a standard wishy-washy politician's statement? Minnis has to appreciate that even if he indeed has no personal view, that is a position..

i wonder as we consider laws to delve into this sort of thing, if a wife or husband takes $20 from the other's wallet/purse, are they liable to be charged with stealing?

under Trump, the new America foreign policy doctrine is more stick based than carrot it seems.. you will either tow the line and sing from the same song sheet or you will pay a price. i hope our people at the UN take note and vote to protect our national interest... we are small and insignificant, so as admirable as it may be, we may have to concede some principle positions from time to time in our national interest..

traffic police should be placed at key intersections at peak times tasked with ensuring traffic flows in an orderly manner. the 'yellow box' you find in some 1st world countries, needs to be introduced at major intersections and traffic cameras installed that will automatically take a picture of traffic in the box when the light is red. a hefty fine should follow. when was the last time a traffic count was done to help with deciding how long the light should be green? because of our mostly single lane roads, only one side of a signal should be green at one time.. how often traffic cant move on the green because the car at the front cant turn due to opposite side traffic? how about synchronizing closely spaced lights like on Shirley street? one can write volumes on this.. ultimately, we just need enforcement.. once folks realize you are serious, they will fall in line.

glad to know we aren't the only ones smuggling.. reading the papers, you could get that impression sometime..

if you open fire on the police, you get what you deserve. i congratulate these officers on their excellent marksmanship and wish them all the best.. keep up the good work and make the Bahamas great again...

Socrates says...

sounds familiar.. everywhere in this country a lack of effective oversight exists thats why, for example, the OECD, EU, and other imperialist organizations refer to the lack of prosecutions as proof. Are we to believe all the folks in numbers, casinos and off-shore banks are saints? Wonder how many local 'experts' are available to do this job, after all, haven't we been led to understand all the expertise we could ever need for anything is already here?

Socrates says...

'nuff said i guess..😁😁

there is only one route from haiti to this country. if we had the air assets in Inagua that already cost us millions, and patrol boats that cost us hundreds of millions patrolling the southern border 24/7 in the SE Bahamas, i dont see how 5mph sailboats could possibly get in... this seems to be an easily solved matter to me.. we need to quit with the excuses..
