Is this really the thing professional people should say? Just because you pullout Exuma to try give a pretty picture does not mean the picture is not bad. The things people say. And reporters need to hit back on these foolishness, and stop just printing the nonsense these people spew.

Im sorry Davis, but I was in Solomon's this week and the cost of eggs is $10. Where did it drop significantly from this new source that are clearly not be truthful about who found it? If the government found it then why didn't egg prices drop at all stores? Stop trying to take credit for what Rupert Roberts did just for his Super Value chain.
2026 cannot hurry up and come to remove this old new day government.
No, just visiting countries that people have put out propaganda on and discovering the truth for myself.
And if you don't believe it just look at how the African countries that finally ousted the European countries from abusing them are finally doing better.
Trump inherited a booming economy from Obama and drove it in the ground. He inherited a booming economy from Biden, and in less than a month is driving it in the ground. Have you not seen what is happening to the stock market with all his tariffs that only him in his mind believes other countries, and not US consumers will pay?
I hate to tear down people, but you are seriously delusional if you believe Trump is trying to turn anything around.
Whether he had lunch with him or not, do you not agree that trying to have people pay retroactive fees on something that you just now charge is ridiculous ?
I'm sorry, but the US is not trying to clean up an act. It is trying to be a dictator to all other countries to do what they want done or they will punish them. And now it is trying to run a propaganda scheme against Cuba. Old playbook trying to bring back.
Like Mandela said in essence, how can you tell me who my friends should be when you never lifted a finger to help me and they did?

How the hell Bahamasair is not charged and they use the same airspace? This is wrong and uncompetitive.

Who the hell changes the fee in the future and then wants to back charge on a new fee structure? That is like me going to the store when they raise the prices and they say i owe on the same things I brought for 4 years at the new price. These lack of intelligent agencies that operate in our country just make you shake your head.
