Dis Is A Warning PM - It No Look Pretty

Graphics from a social media page showing
Min. Kerensia Morrison locked out of the Grand Gala.

My Dear Prime Minister

Mr Prime Minister, an earthquake could shake the seat of power at this time. The situation in the cultural ministry is providing fodder for those creative writers on social media. The matter of a new cultural and entertainment minister must be dealt with promptly. Personal ties, being grateful for support, maintaining the status quo and playing for time could be the time when the earthquake strikes.

The picture above tells a story that should not be ignored. It shows the junior minister in Miss Grange's Ministry locked out of the Grand Gala. This story has happened in the past but not with Minister Kerensia Morison. The rumblings on the ground are getting louder. I know that more than likely this poster was done by a PNP supporter, but it is worth taking note of it.

With all the good things Minister Grange has done, and some bad things also, protecting her can further divide the country and the party. She needs to take a walk for her own good, the good of her party, and the good of her country. She would not want to leave politics today and become a vegetable tomorrow.

Prime Minister, I know far more, but there is no need to dig up mess because it would not serve any purpose.

My Prime Minister, a beg yu sah, do wha yu haffi do quick quick!


Note To Readers

Please add your comments at the bottom of the blog so that the Prime Minister can see your views. You do not have to record your name. This matter is serious.

Watch Weather Disturbance - Be Prepared

 


The following information is provided by the National Hurricane Centre: 

Central Tropical Atlantic: A broad area of disturbed weather associated with a tropical wave is located a few hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands. Some gradual development is possible during the early to middle part of next week while the disturbance moves westward across the central tropical Atlantic.

Upper-level winds are expected to become much less conducive for development later in the week when the system approaches the Lesser Antilles. 

We should use the opportunity to cut back the trees. For those trees that are touching JPSCo lines, you should ask JPSCO to de-energize the line where you are cutting back these trees. Get your solar telephone chargers and other solar equipment. Ensure that your roofs are secure. Don't sit back and wait on the government to do something for you.

Those who are living on the gully banks are in serious danger if a hurricane hits Kingston. Secure your things and prepare to leave your homes if a hurricane threatens. Those living in Port Royal and who love the song, "I shall not be moved," should understand that hurricanes will even move your dead body.

Remember, there is now a disturbance, Disturbance 1, and it could develop into a hurricane and head for the Caribbean. Its approximate location is 10 ° 38 ' N 28 ° 51 ' W.

Minister Desmond McKenzie Should Be Back In Jamaica Tomorrow After His Medical Operation

Minister Desmond McKenzie

I have been reliably informed that Minister Desmond McKenzie had to leave the island recently to have a medical operation done. Suspicion was raised when he was mysteriously absent from the special sitting of Parliament for the Ghanaian president. It is expected that Minister McKenzie will be back on the island tomorrow.

We must share such information about members of the political directorate, or else creative social media writers will have a field day writing very creative stories that contain just a hint of the truth. Let me add that this operation has nothing to do with the recent pepper spray when a police officer sprayed it in his face.

Finally, as Mr Age steps up and plays its little games, we must consider stepping aside to enjoy some quality time with friends and families. You don't want to leave politics just to become a vegetable when your friends and families cannot enjoy your company.

Juliet Holness VS Sandra Golding Discussions On Social Media, Upstaging Independence Celebration

Contributed

What should have been a proud celebration of Jamaica’s independence has somehow been reduced, in some corners of social media, to a competition between two Black women and the dresses they wore to the Independence Grand Gala. That is unfortunate, unnecessary and, quite frankly, beneath us.

The Prime Minister’s wife and the wife of the Leader of the Opposition are two beautiful Black women. Why must one woman be torn down for another to be praised? Why has a national celebration become an excuse to decide whose dress was better, who looked better, or which woman is supposedly more worthy of admiration? And there is an even bigger issue that cannot simply be ignored.

For some time, the Prime Minister’s wife has been subjected to an ugly level of personal ridicule and disrespect from some PNP supporters. Political disagreement is one thing. Personal degradation is another.

She is not merely “the Prime Minister’s wife.” She is a public figure in her own right and serves as Speaker of the House of Representatives. By all means, scrutinize her decisions. Challenge her politics. Criticize her performance in public office. That comes with public life.

But what does attacking her appearance have to do with good governance? What does mocking how a Black woman looks have to do with holding a government accountable?

And how does putting another Black woman beside her and declaring one more beautiful, better dressed, or more “classy” elevate our political discourse? It doesn’t. It simply reveals how quickly political tribalism can descend into something mean-spirited and deeply personal.

The wife of the Opposition Leader should not be turned into a political weapon against the Prime Minister’s wife either. Compliment her dress. Celebrate her beauty. Appreciate how she presented herself at the Grand Gala. But why must the compliment come with an insult directed at another woman?

Two women can walk into the same national event looking beautiful without Jamaica having to crown a winner and humiliate a loser.

This obsession with comparing women—particularly two prominent Black Jamaican women—sends an awful message. We cannot preach about uplifting women and then participate in tearing one down because we dislike the political party associated with her husband.

PNP supporters should be able to celebrate their leadership without degrading the Prime Minister’s wife. JLP supporters should likewise be able to defend and celebrate her without insulting the Opposition Leader’s wife. Politics does not require cruelty.

The Independence Grand Gala is supposed to celebrate Jamaica—our culture, our achievements, our people, and our national pride. If the biggest takeaway some people could find was an opportunity to pit two beautifully dressed Black women against each other, perhaps the problem was never the dresses. Perhaps the problem is what political tribalism is doing to us.

There is enough room in Jamaica for both women to be beautiful, elegant, and respected. Celebrate one without tearing down the other. That should not be difficult.

JPS Power Outage

I understand that a truck ran into a pole on Ken Hill Drive last night. This resulted in several surrounding areas being without electricity for about half an hour.

 Who will be responsuble for that damage? Those JPSCo light poles are atteactive to these vehicles.

Earthquake Message From the Earthquake Unit at the UWI A Day Late!

Late Bulletin




According to the earthquake unit at the UWI, there was a minor earthquake on Thursday, August 6. This bulletin was not sent out until Friday, August 7. This is another place that needs to be investigated. They need to tell the government why it took so long to send out the notice. When did ODPEM get the message?

Suggestions have been made to improve the notices, but the experts at the unit apparently don't need advice from novices like us.
