If I get our Prime Minister right, one of the only values worth defending is transphobia? But we don’t have strong views on any of the wars in the world? No views on the humanitarian crises? No strong views on pushing for reparations?

Trans Jamaican deserves the same opportunities to exist. We will not be erased!!! Andrew Holness

Why introduce a socially divisive issue about a vulnerable group of people in a fiscal policy speech ? What policy objective does it serve? Still so perplexed by Andrew Holness comment " a man is man and woman is a woman".

Once you see it. You can't unsee it. The leader of the opposition made anju' feel bad about his values RE the whole Cuba thing ..and the his response was to shift the conversation on values to trans people..the weakest, most vulnerable,.most suicide ideating queer pop everywhere

This is what homophobic laws are designed to do. They radicalize society, legitimize hate, and turn ordinary people into perpetrators of violence against innocent people. Senegal is now echoing Uganda’s deadly example, where young lives are being lost in unclear circumstances

We had an American woman walk into Ghana and propose a rice project. The government handed her $20 million in loans and guarantees. She bought a $1.1 million house, a Rolls Royce, a Bentley, a Jaguar, and two Mercedes. Not a single grain of rice was ever grown. A US court

They’re not even subtle.

Libya negotiated. Let's be precise about what happened to Libya. In 2003, Muammar Gaddafi made a strategic decision to abandon his weapons programs, open his country to international inspectors, and normalize relations with the West. He paid reparations for Lockerbie. He

Interesting how wars are named after the country attacked: Vietnam War, Iraq War, Afghanistan War, Iran War... That's because if they were named after the attacker, it would be too confusing, since 80% of conflicts would be called the US war.

Oh. Now I see why UHWI didn't apply for a TCC. It was due to 'delinquency'. I wonder how a small business manager would fare in such a circumstance, wonder if they would get a tax write off. Another 'everybody knew' story. Ex the public. Truly disgraceful.
