Trump, despite promising only good times ahead, despite being the man in charge of the US economy is shrugging off the coming recession as necessary to wean America off her government freeloading.
Trouble is alot of those middle class and/or just making it Americans buy cheap cruises to the Bahamas and worse never leave their ‘all you can eat buffets’

Take away guaranteed incomes and benefits, add higher prices for everything from cars to eggs and phones, even cheap travel won’t be in the cards

Where are Mr Maura and Davis&Co dreaming up these numbers?

And let’s get real guys, Nassau doesn’t even rate amoungst the top 100 “busiest transit ports in the world”!!

Mitchell “urged the government to uphold the country’s moral’s values”
And here we thought Old Freddie had no sense of humour!!

Seriously the ‘Great Dealmaker’, the harbinger of corruption and chaos?!

Davis&Co have just about finished gutting this country’s institutions,
Trump & DOGE are just getting started!

Unfortunately data shows that 24% of suicide attempts are made less than 5 minutes before and 70% made less than an hour.
Hopefully her car will be throughly inspected to rule out foul play or faulty brakes etc.
My sympathies to Ms Young’s family.

Goodness me! If the Bahamas only had the US financial crimes watch & anti-money laundering bodies to worry about!

We’ve squandered all our goodwill as usual,
In 02/2020 we were at last off the EU’s non-cooperating countries tax watch followed by the French one in 03/2021 and by 12/2020 off the FAFT blacklist for money laundering & counter terrorism financing.

Davis&Co had reversed that accomplishment by 2022, somehow coming up with a “software glitch” (?) for their breaking the rules of conduct.
Last year partial relief came but given this report, Davis&Co’s refusal to play by the rules or by international finance laws (and Bahamian!) and regulations.

This government is a very bad joke.

Of course the defendant chose to remain silent since the sound of his voice would incriminate him!
I hope the prosecution played the interview in which the voice notes were replayed to compare them with his voice.

Further there is no acknowledgement in these confessions of the harm the pain he caused his own daughter only a selfish attempt to mitigate his own crimes.

And let’s be very clear- this young lady is very brave. She’s had this abuse hanging over her for over a decade, she’s suffered not only her father’s lack of remorse but his and now publicly his lawyer’s attempts “to get rid of her” and deny her justice.
Disgusting

The Bahamas reputation for drug trafficking and financial crimes has gotten worse under Davis&Co and as a banking center it would have seemed prudent for this same bunch of miscreants to walk their big talk of laws, acts, guidelines etc etc.
For if there’s one thing Bahamians know- what the law says and what the laws does are two entirely different subjects!

Darville is correct that such a plan might bring savings ‘on the back end’-but only if the PLP can keep their mitts off it.
Yet as Dr Sands points out (and anyone knows) it’s the front end that requires the funding and work to make it happen, Davis&Co haven’t done the work and since they’ve robbed the cupboard bare…!

Since Ms Shepherd doesn’t seem to realize the irony and silliness of her remarks, perhaps reading them in print is needed.

While she scoffs at the fact that Bahamians must place their “trust” in their health and safety inspectors to ensure the eggs are safe for consumption, Ms Shepherd highlights the current fears over Avian Flu and the corrupt reputation of our own inspection systems.

For despite her admonition that “our farmers know how to grow eggs” can our inspectors honestly work to ensure the public health safety for Bahamians?

Nailed it!
