Wilchcombe fears crime is ruining nation’s reputation
Oh. Now you are concerned? Where was this concern when those dimwits put up all those friggin billboards in largely touristic areas, advertising the murder count? Anything to get into power right? Teach these people they have to work for a living. Help them become educated so they can make a more meaningful contribution to this nation. Set an example. All of you who go into parliament poor, come out filthy rich and are held unaccountable for not one thing while amassing this wealth in questionable fashion, are teaching them that they are entitled to everything, even when they didn't earn it, and that they are answerable to no one. This has been the order of the day for decades, and only God knows how to reverse this animalistic mentality.

Baha Mar files Chapter 11 'viable framework' reorganisation plan in Delaware
As I posted over a month ago:
There is a difference between being bankrupt/insolvent and filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection. Bankruptcy protection simply means that a person, or an entity, is protected from its creditors while being given the time to restructure. For some unknown reason this difference seems to be lost on the majority of people here in The Bahamas… Did American Airlines, for example, stop flying after it filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection?
If Baha Mar's Chapter 11 bid had not been refused, by now they would have been well on the way to completing the resort, and much closer to repaying their creditors.
A lot of time has been wasted because of The Bahamas government's [and its judiciary's] myopia.

UPDATED: Rosewood bids to quit Baha Mar as govt argues for wind up petition
You are absolutely right. Another operator will take over the leases tomorrow. Baha Mar will be open by October. Crime will stop because people will realise how stupid it is. The guns will be donated to BAMSI to make ploughshares and unemployment will drop to 1%. The Haitians will all leave by September, everyone in the Bahamas will be making $50,000 a year by November, and maybe Jesus will come and rapture the PLP.
How could I be so stupid not to see this???? It must be the work of Satan in me. My relatives are not having problems making ends meet. My aunt doesn't need a wheelchair that costs over two thousand dollars. She needs a healing at the PLP headquarters. There is nothing wrong with her. It's all in her head.
How could I have been so blind, as to not recognise that our Dear Leader is not all wise. And our unmarried cabinet ministers are so masculine that woman are afraid of them. And the chairman could have been a Rhodes scholar if he could have found the right road in his youth. And the cauliflower ears of the attorney general are that way from the wisdom that drips from her orifices. Dear me. I am so wrong.
How could I have been so blind? Quick, cut my head open, and implant the chip before I change my mind.
No my dear Tal, you chide me because I voice your secret fears. And you do not have the intellectual honesty to admit it.

Mitchell to Sarkis: Conform or leave
Tal, your comments are stupid as always. Ingraham telling his Ministers to stay away from the corrupting influence of Peter Nygard is not the same as Ingraham threatening to throw Nygard out - which he didn't do. Mitchell is threatening to throw out the largest investor in the country's recent years while the man has an ongoing court case in this jurisdiction. If you can't see the obvious problem with this, then you and the PLP minded people like you are just the biggest idiots in the Bahamas and your dangerous stupidity is going to destroy our country, as we know it. Bahamians, the time to kick this good for nothing government out of office is well beyond time. Call the election. Demand an election! We cannot survive their stupidity any longer.

Pastors' plea to US on gay rights
I wish that these so-called ministers would emulate Jesus. He hung out with tax collectors, sinners and prostitutes. He welcomed the poor and marginalised. He accepted everyone. These ministers are charlatans who skew the old covenant words of an inexact book to raise their own profiles. They have no right leading people, leeching off them by collecting money and preaching hate against a group of people who cannot help the fact that they are gay. The ministers are despicable human beings who preach hate under the guise of religion. They should be banned.

Excellent writing and commentary once again. I truly hope the politicians read and understand what you have said in this article. The amount of people from the middle class that are thinking the same as you is astounding. Those with children they have hopes and dreams for are bailing out in droves. What politician can be proud when the people they are supposed to be working for abandon the country because of their (politicians) actions/inaction? The supposed leaders of this country have squandered their chance at greatness, shame on them!

Stop pandering to your base who you have lost anyway, they are not as fool as you perceive them to be. The desperation is palpable.

General Allyson Maynard-Gibson, QC, said there is no need for concern, adding that Bahamians should “trust” that negotiations are being handled by the “capable hands” of Prime Minister Perry Christie.
I don't think they get it, the fact is we don't believe he's capable of developing or executing any strategy to lead the Bahamas into the future. Based on past experience, BTC, BAMSI, PHA, BOB, NHI, Blackbeard's Cay, Nygard Cay, Bahamar, gaming referendum, we believe we have been sold out once again.

There was financing set up to pay the employees through the Chapter 11 filing, but instead the government blocked that so that they could use the employees as their own pawns.

Obie: Drop resort wind-up petition
The fact is that they were never mediating objectively in the first place. Now that someone in the administration has understood the scale of the calamity, they want to try actual mediation for the first time. They are only saying this because the reality of collusion with CCA and CEXIM is about to slam the government in the face in the local and international media and our reputation, as a serious FDI center, will be seriously tarnished.
The government of the Bahamas has exposed itself to charges of collusion and corruption and Baha Mar will take this all the way in the courts unless a settlement that they can agree to is put forward. In siding with the Chinese so strongly, the government has already made a critical mistake and the truth is going to come out. Heads need to roll. This entire government should resign. Failing that, we need a full Commission of Inquiry and MPs need to go to jail for their corruption and collusion with the Chinese. We need Interpol or the Americans to investigate if undeclared payments were made to senior politicians in other jurisdictions through shell companies or other fronts. It is time to get serious as the bribes would have been in the millions for the top ranking government personnel.
The government of the Bahamas is the only entity in the country that can and has put our sovereignty at risk through this debacle. Their exposure to Chinese interests is patently obvious now. The PLP once sold us to drug lords. Now, they are selling us to the Chinese government at the risk of damaging our relations with the Americans. There is nothing wrong with doing business with China, but there is something very wrong with our politicians being in thrall to China.
