FNM mandarins, shut up!
I so wish that the so-called mandarins of the FNM would just stop talking nonsense. Frank Watson started the silliness when the FNM passed up a great opportunity to elect Loretta Butler Turner and get rid of Dr Hubert Minnis who is dragging the party down.

Persecuted in my own country
I am a Bahamian of Haitian descent currently residing in New Providence.
