How are all these people getting crown land in a protected habitat? And how can all of them express dismay at being able to destroy a barrier island protecting Nassau from storm surges? "*music and junkanoo bands*". We must be the dumbest people on earth. How many people on the eastern shoreline could be killed for their greed? Wonder if any of their children live in the area, how appropriate, or would be like the police crying about nobody being safe from gun violence, decrying the number of criminals being released on bail then accepting 10s of thousands to aide release of said criminals to wreak havoc on them

When you think of it how moronic, not only moving a pig sty to a marine habitat but they cutting down the hills that acts as protection for Nassau for centuries. The person who did this should be made to pay millions in fines. This needs a Commission of Inquiry, what is National Security if not this?

And where is Brave Davis? Nobody knew again?

Birdie, honestly. This mother did not give birth to the thousands of missing persons in the US, she gave birth to Taylor. As happens sometimes with families who face these kinds of difficulties they might go on to develop or support larger causes.

For the moment, her concern is *her* child and like any mother human or animal, she will fight to the death for her child

"*Prime Minister thus called for “robust global frameworks” to govern AI’s development and ensure it generates only positive benefits*

More nonsense. Next to climate change.

And no I'm not talking about the initiatives themselves, I'm talking about the breathing time and air used up and wasted listening to these empty words

"*“That is the key barrier island for Fort Montague and Eastern Road,” he told this newspaper. “That’s the only thing between us and the ocean. You get that coming into Eastern Road and we’re really all in trouble. It’s crazy. It really is off the chain. Nothing should be developed on that island. It’s in the middle of a Marine Protected Area.”*

I honestly dont understand this. What is so difficult to understand? What will our *Climate Change* Prime Minister do if the eastern end of the island is flooded? Blame climate change or will he point to absolute corruption, laziness and greed?

You cant make this up. At least this time the Transformer/Autobot tell us who's responsible and nobody have to say dont call Sun Oil name

**Btw, than you Jade Russell for using the word "*faction*", I'm tired of hearing people speak of political, union and junkanoo "*fractions*". PLP divided by FNM?**

"*I am not a pessimist, I don’t believe in what ifs.*"

Mr Sands is smarter than me but the "*what ifs*" spoken of has nothing to do with pessimism and everything to do with Risk Management.

What happens in the Bahamas is we've been sold nonsense that everything is great! The worst of which is "*crime is down but murder is up*" it's the most nonsensical mantra ever heard yet they repeat it over and over again as if its a positive. Spinning crime, who knew? Marketers could get a master class from us.

To be a little pessimistic, the crime they want us to know about is down. Or is that also realism?

A few years ago we were told that we were "growing" because 1% is growth and people talking about "real" growth didnt know what they were talking about! But on the ground people were saying, this dont feel like growth and why they running after taxes like hounds and finding all these schemes to tax air? Because, we werent really growing, we were for all intents and purposes, stagnant, and saying so wasnt pessimism, it was realism.

I drove around for a bit yesterday and was totally dismayed by the view of hundreds of Bahamians crammed onto maybe 2miles of beach space but where the view allowed, you could see stretches of hundreds of miles of clean unoccupied white sand, "*high water mark*" another Jim Crow relic they want us to swallow, and saying so isnt pessimism, its realism. This is while Adrian White revealed that someone is being allowed to mow down trees in the marine protected area around Athol Island!

The cruise port just revealed that they're opening a water park. And they say they "*want tourists to explore Nassau*"? Nassau already has two water parks. Tell your guests about them so they can "*explore*". We must open our eyes, our country is being sold off wholesale to the cruise industry. they want to take every penny out of the tourist pocket before they hit the back of the straw market. I wonder why none have proposed purchasing Bay St as yet and placing it behind a gate... well, parliament is scheduled to move... is it the canary?

Pessimism or realism?

Exercise some "*stealth*"?? Brain misfire

Yes birdie we believe that. Because we've heard not one, not 2 but numerous incidents of people being shot while in front of or in their homes by people coming "*out of the blue*". Some lived to tell the tale carrying multiple bullet wounds and others died.

For once birdie I agree with one thing you've said, Scotland Yard should **investigate everybody.**

**Because its virtually impossible for one man to orchestrate and execute this alledged scheme, nobody notice anything strange? Nobody ask any questions?** Nobody had any phones tapped after man on bail mysteriously gets shot one after the next? **Because the public has certainly been asking for more than a year whether these ankle monitor locations were being revealed with ill intent in mind**. Nobody in leadership was even curious? The national security minister nor the PM ever posed the question? Noone? Noone in cabinet said we need an internal police probe? I know I've personally said something was wrong that so many police officers were being caught in crimes. It's all documented in the Tribune. The most serious was an officer caught trying to run from a getaway car after being involved in a drive by shooting targeting a man on bail.

**At minimum the requirements to enter the police force have to change.** This is not the place to stuff with rejects who cant find a job. The mysterious physical damage to prisoners at police stations where nobody know what happened has to stop. The assaults at traffic stops dont ask questions have to stop. If the police force becomes a rogue organization where exactly are we headed as a country?

**I'm still baffled that two men had the temerity to hold Brave Davis and his family hostage at his westridge home. I mean imagine who would consider that? Anyway, they're both dead now, shot while on bail.**
