During their time at the port, the Ambassador and his wife were guided through the piers and key operational areas, where they were introduced to the daily functions that sustain one of the Caribbean’s leading cruise hubs, shared a media release. The visit reportedly offered a closer look at how the port manages its high volume of passengers and maintains its standards of service.

Herschel Walker is a Black MAGA who lost his bid for the Senate because he is one of Trump’s sycophants who is also anti black. That’s why black Americans hate him and rejected him. This job is a bit of a sweetener from daddy Trump as a repayment for his loyalty and a**e licking. Not sure why Bahamian people cosying up to him. He’s probably scouting for sites in the Bahamas for Trump to build a casino and golf course.
Wow wonders never cease. I have not seen Mr. Walker since his ill-fated Georgia Senate campaign against sitting Senator Raphael Warnock.
Though I am a staunch believer in redemption and second chances, I am also a stickler for staying in one’s lane and the concept of qualified candidates.
Walker, in the role of US Ambassador to the Bahamas, is right out of Comedy Central casting. It would appear that his legacy ties with the US President is still paying dividends.
Mind you, I am fully aware that the US leader has every right to choose whom he may for the role of Ambassador; however, there is a good chance Walker will fumble this role, ultimately resulting in a certain letdown instead of a wishful Hail Mary touchdown.
“fumble this one”… “hail Mary touchdown” … I see what you did there
(Walker used to be in the NFL – for those who missed the reference…)
During the election for a Senate seat in the State of Georgia, I listened to this guy in a debate against his Democratic counterpart. The guy could not even put two coherent sentences together. It is said that Burger King & Diet Coke Don surrounds himself with the who genuflect and bruise their knees before him. Herschel Walker is one such case as he could not get that post on merit. No wonder t
America is falling apart. Oh, how far the mighty has fallen!
