Bimini. The Tribune carried an article where a boat captain said "everybody" know and anyone can get in, get a loan for a boat if needed. "*Everybody know and everybody in it*" he said, the police just dont know. Nobody move nobody get hurt

Oh there was another story this week where the policeman was helping Columbians was it(?) unload cocaine from a plane. In Nassau two policemen were caught brandishing unlicensed firearms, one after ditching the getaway car from a drive by shooting.

I guess it's like when the inspector on the illegal gambling "raid" said the presence of a spinning wheel doesnt signify a gambling operation. Police cant uncover all crime.. Nygard spirited away with his assets against a court order because the police find the gate locked..

It is curious. The only visible difference is Fox a, partner in Island Luck at the time, was not linked to any migrant deaths. He also claimed to have only done it ~once (or some such simlar statement that characterized his involvement as minimal )and stopping immediately after almost getting caught.

"*Demeritte, who bought the horse last September as a two-year-old.*"

Is he the owner of the Saratoga? Doesnt matter, well done either way. (Who is "*Justin*"?)

"*the idea is to ensure insurance against the global north's assault on the diamond industry.*"

I guess the "*global north*" would never be able to figure out that the diamonds really came from Botswana. Because... diamonds are mined in the Bahamas! *Great idea Brain. That's right Pinky, we're taking over the world!*

"*create jobs*"

Doing what. Moving boxes around? Please stop the nonsense. These people always selling dreams to poor starving island people. Oil industry, Home porting, space travel (that was a doozie, they surpassed themselves on that one), climate change ambassador

I use bad grammar too! it's just when I hear someone say "*people of his ilk*" in praise of someone, it's like fingernails scraping over a chalkboard. I've heard alot of people using it lately

I confess though that I did have someone in mind for the slimy shifty eyed thief lol (unrelated to this story!)

Lol...Frozen

Based on which study. I hope theyve hurricane proofed everything. Hurricanes are the main cause of Freeports demise, even the weak hurricanes

Sorry this is totally unrelated (and not targeted at you) but its one of my pet peeves.

I've heard a number of people use the phrase "*men of their ilk*" with clear intent to portray something positive about a person. The word "*Ilk*", is almost always used to relay shared **negative** characteristics. You'd for example talk about a known slimy shifty eyed thief and men of his *ilk*. When speaking positively about group traits it's better to use "*men of his character*".. maybe even add an adjective, good character, exceptional character or upstanding character etc... words with positive connotations

"*persons frequently offered and/or made under-the-table payments to officials to expedite permits and approvals that were being held-up without explanation or for no obvious, valid reason.*"

This statement from the association president makes this corruption almost sound innocent, suggesting that contractors are only payinGB for expediency to move rightfully awarded contracts.

The word on the street is it's the reverse, those in control of contract awards demand payment or else you een getting this contract, something more akin to extortion, or award to people who already know "*how the game is played*" regardless of whether the contract is awarded to a competent contractor.

This isnt "just" the word on the street, check the US State Dept report with US contractors claiming theyve been asked to pay bribes in order to be awarded a contract
