Maurice Moore - Tribune - July 7 2016:

He's nothing if not consistent... ly on the wrong side

"*Moore also **praised Dr Minnis**, saying one of his strengths is being a “**common man who keeps his common touch**” and can interact with people.*

*He is somebody that **is approachable** and what he has done for the last four years, he has visited all the islands, he has visited all the constituencies, he is one of the few fellows in front line politics who can go Over-the-Hill anytime, anywhere and everyone knows him and they have the greatest respect for him. He **knows how to talk to people** and I believe that **it will be a great day for the Bahamas to have a prime minister like Dr Minnis.**”*

*Yesterday, Mr Moore commended Dr Minnis for not hitting out at the dissenting MPs in the face of their public critiques.*

*He has handled it correctly. The measure of the man, **he will never say a word against any of those six. You notice he has never said a word against them, even though each one of them on their turn just lambaste him on matters that were half true or were not true at all, or was taken out of context.”*

Is that appropriate for a commissioner to bring up that issue and his deep pain at his swearing in? Will that pain cause the police force to be used for revenge? Not saying that it will happen, I'm saying he should have left it unsaid so noone speculates that it could.

This is no surprise. It's the exact same train that mortgage backed securities road in on. Big big money nevermind the underlying asset. In this case there is no underlying asset. That train jumped the tracks in 2008 and almost led to the bankruptcy of the 5 big banks. They had to be bailed out by Bush/Obama just to hang on by their fingertips

I am really shocked that the Securities commission allows so many people to get on air and encourage low to middle income barely making it people to invest in this stuff. This is no different than Pineapple Express.

Scaramucci says he had 2000 persons at his conference. If the ticket price was 5000 a head, he made 10 million dollars in 2 days. this has nothing to do with any "new" opportunities. Its all selling services to the congregation, like the preachers who come with all their merchandise fir sale.

There were only 4 teams. I dont blame the girls. It's a Bahamian thing, we act like we're going to win because we're the Bahamas, it's only after the team returns that we hear all the reasons why they performed at a less than impressive level.

I remember watching a fight with Elisha Obed, and this account is no disrespect to him, I've heard tales that but for his fast lifestyle, he was a super talented boxer (this is why I worry about Jazz, I wonder if he has the grounding to overcome the flash, fame and money or will he be another super talent we talk about with regret). Anyway, this fight with Obed happened on the tail end of his career, he was in his 30's(?) fighting boxers half his age and at that time it was alleged that his vision wasn't good. So the odds were against him. The broadcaster asked the New Jersey boxer about his expectations and the guy spoke a bit about what he knew about Obed and his strategy to win. They then interviewed Obed and Obed said, "*well, I don't know anything about this guy but whatever comes I'm ready*". He wasn't. And that's our approach to sports.

"*Asked yesterday if the police involved were wearing bodycams at the time of the incident, Supt Peters replied: “From all indications, that is the case.”*

That is a non answer. They either were or they weren't. Yes or no, along with *we are currently reviewing the footage*.

Completely off topic, policemen shouldn't be allowed to wear jewelry. One military issue watch and that's it. Anything more looks crooked coppidy

"*would have to be tested under Bahamian law which says that abandoned wrecks belong to The Bahamas unless the country has granted rights to someone else. That law dates back to 1965, and has never been tested by the Spanish*"

Since I doubt the lawyer had to fight for Spains right to wrecks in Spain, it may not matter "*where*" the wreck is, but more so "*whose it **was***"
