OP ED: “JB”- Been a minute or so since I have been able to expand on some stuff, but we know that happens with this “shitty little blog” from time to time. I was back in FLA for a bit and when there I just kinda unplug. Catching up on some e-mails and such, and…
“JB”- So many, many years ago when I just thought I would have some bullshit to ype to people back home about our retirement decision, I was blindsided into a “Hatfield“ and McCoy” type blood feud in Bocas del Toro. Please feel free to go back and read thr archives, and see that I was…

Kennedy certainly thought so when he said, “I would rather be accused of breaking precedents than breaking promises.” In a world where politicians notably and consistently don’t keep their word, it is easy…
“JB” – so yeah, more FRAUD, FRAUD, and more FRAUD.
