Paraphrased from a cnn.com article, Trump asked his staff not to have him in photos with disabled veterans because it doesnt make him look good. When he saw a disabled vet singing the national anthem he wanted to know who invited him. John Kelly also said Trump has been untruthful about his stance on right to life and Christianity. In response to prospect of Trump 2024, Kelly concluded "God help us". Another former staff member called a Trump presidency the greatest threat to America in history.

These characterizations are vomit inducing, and these the people who worked with him

There will be the argument from Education that with the new grading scheme, a D isnt a D. Each grade has some meaning signifying the students level of understanding of the material. And that's fine, give everybody a "T", **but** the important thing is, what does a "T" translate to outside the country? Or is a T only to be used in country to tell an employer that while Johnny couldnt add and cant read well, if you give him verbal instructions, he'll be able understand and do the job.

I understand the intent, but I'm not sure that enabling the bottom to look at the bottom in a positive light will make students want to do better

When I heard Hanna Martin's contribution, I honestly thought there was dramatic improvement. But it's TRUE that positive movement is better than negative movement

@it I'm not demonizing gay people. If you recall AIDS at one point was devastating the gay community then it jumped to the heterosexual community. You cant get AIDS by touching someone. The most likely transmission mechanism was bisexual activity.

In regard to mpox, I'm not basing my statement on speculation. The WHO actually said they would drop all language about predominance in gay communities to prevent targeting of those communities.

This never made any sense to me. Never heard of a medical campaign that ignores the source of the infection.

As to a cursory google search, the story was on cnn.con about this virus long before Dr Darville made a statement and it showed a picture of an infected *child*. My first thought was, "*has it already jumped*". Its transmitted through mucus membranes. children rub their eyes, put things in their mouths etc, it makes sense, adults have sex, that also makes sense

Doesn't matter. I mentioned *50 years*. 50 years of using BEC as somebody's private cash wooly mammoth.

The only reason Ramsey was convicted is because the intel came from outside the country. I believe this is the foundation for the resolution of the corruption that runs in this country from top to bottom. International prosecution. Who knew about CCA emails telling Chinese construction workers to "*fake work better*" before the Delaware Bahamar case?. Metayer in Miami triggered the investigation of the police force. Someone sent a financial transactions spreadsheet on FTX to Coindesk. The local police still saying they waiting on evidence to charge Sam with something

Not surprised. With major league cricket started in the US there'll be high school and college divisions and cricket scholarship opportunities to come.

"**Furthermore, *understanding the transmission mode is essential* in establishing effective measures to combat Mpox**"

Which is why its extremely puzzling that all reference to high number of cases among gay males has been removed from all alerts. I suppose they'll wait until its rampant within the heterosexual community via bisexuals or undercover lovers to point this out.

"*following a major blackout that plunged half of New Providence into darkness on Thursday night, Energy Minister JoBeth Coleby-Davis said efforts are underway to prevent a recurrence and enhance power reliability*"

According to Brave Davis the problems were a thing of the past fromJuly when Franklyn Wilson showed up mysteriously with 2 new generators.

**This the same salty carrot they be selling us for 50 years to enter into one bad contract after the next. Fred Ramsey was the only person convicted of entering into bad contracts by way of bribery**

This new contract which **gives away all of BECs assets to a company with literally nothing and a valuation of 200m based on nothing** is another example of such. They will leave BEC just as broken as it was the day they secretly entered into this bad deal. The investors will make out like bandits and continue to tell us how wonderful their money making is.

"*but if the government’s gambit in its BPL shake-up does not work, we will have wasted time and may very well have given our resources away at a value less than their true worth.*"

It's already shown signs of failure. Last night should no TV have happened. Brave Davis told us the outages would be a thing of the past as of July.

I dont think these people have any plan other than to fund purchases with other people money and hike up prices to make insane profits. Then charges the govt and arm and a leg to buy back a jacked up, still broken system

When he made the announcement that the problems would cease as of July and Frankie Wilson had 2 generators arrive in July. I said to myself, thats the fix? this *look like* Fred Ramsey, Desmond Bannister and 50 years of self serving money deals all over again.

Trump is a brain dead degenerate who appears to have no policy other than self enrichment. The last thing the Bahamas or America needs is 4 more years of him.

Truly a ruinous day in the Bahamas when the "*smart young people*" make the claim that character doesnt matter and money is everything. Just how we get in this mess
