I don't often agree with Fred Smith, but in this case, his comments are spot on!

Now if Dr. Minnis would just stop issuing press releases, that no one reads just and get up off his arse and file the necessary documents we may actually get the PLP to account for what they are doing with our land and money.

"Meanwhile, Mrs Butler-Turner also questioned the timing of the government’s Baha Mar announcement, insisting that it was a ploy to distract Bahamians from Moody’s Investor Service downgrading this country’s credit rating one notch to Baa3 from Baa2".

I agree that this is the real reason for the announcement. Again to deflect. That's the real M.O. of this Government.

Guess the PM was expecting everyone to sing and dance at the latest of his many "soon come" announcements. I can't think of anyone who is happy or excited. He's been duping us for far too long. I guess he's now the proverbial "boy who cried wolf".

No shock there. Minnis is a has been. The only idiots who believe he can beat the PLP are those who are going over the cliff with him. Carry on smartly! Dead Perry will shuffle into another term and the sad reality is the idiots who insist on keeping him won't realize it til it happens. Child all I could say is run for your life!

He brought hundreds of Scotiabank's non-performing loans for a consideration of $6,654,883.55 by a Transfer and Assignment of Mortgages dated the 4th day of May, 2016 from Scotiabank (Bahamas) Limited to Gateway Financial Ltd. The document is recorded in Volume 12568 at pages 315 to 322 - The document in recorded on the public record for all who search to see.

I was just about to post a similar comment but you beat me to it!

Listen, this Government is very good at deflecting. How is it this announcement is being made at the same time that Moody has announced another downgrade. I agree. I smell a rat! A big rotten one!

I'll believe this when I see the imprint of the nails and feel the piece in the side.

Looka here. Whether she fell, dived, ran through, jumped or crawled; whether it was planned, intentional or her legs gave out and she just happened to fall over the finish line before the American, it doesn't matter. What matters is that it was a LEGAL win according to the olympic rules. Some people really need to make google their friend and use it more often. Haters gonna hate but she won the gold. Full Stop! #proudtobebahamian

I must have screamed all my lungs out last night. Giri Shaunae I am soooooo proud of. you!! Some things are just worth being a Bahamian for and this is one of them! Congratulations!!!

Well written and clearly from first-hand experience. It's good to see that persons in the public arena can appreciate the true meaning behind Mr. Lightbourn's comments and understand that they actually came from a place of wanting to help and not the so-called "racism" the politicians and pundits and trying to make it out to be.

"women overwhelmingly rejected it"? Thought it was the voters - comprised of both men and women.

“Also we believe if you have a steady job of, let’s say, at least five years, you pay taxes, you have no criminal records, and it is not an activity that Bahamians are interested to do, why deport these people?”

Tell me, how do you prove you have a steady job for 5 years if you entered the country illegally? Are you paying National Insurance which is a tax for those 5 years? If so, how can you qualify for a national insurance number without a work permit? If you got a work permit, how did you get it you cannot prove you entered the country legally?

Did this man think before he spoke? Why do the leaders of these illegals continue to encourage them to break the law or insist that we reward them for doing so?

I guess the whole idea is to break the law and migrate to ANY country that will take them no matter the cost. The mindset is mindboggling.
