HELLO PNO followers. UPDATE:
by James “JB” Bryson Where do I start but by saying “WOW“!! I have to tell you that even after service to my country, this battle and the psychological effects it is having on the world is unprecedented in my lifetime. I want to begin by saying I hope that …
EX-PATS in the American Market. “Hold onto your socks!!!”
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson I think many people that are retired or approaching it, would gladly take a week in bed with the flu as opposed to seeing what is occurring every day in their 401K or personal brokerage accounts. Wall Street continues to take a brutal beating as …
Coronavirus affects the Bryson household.
OP ED: by James “JB” Bryson So as this worldwide panic attack continues, the anxiety surrounding air travel has hit home, as our dear friends who had planned to visit us for the first time from Richmond, Virginia have chosen to cancel their travel to Tocumen for next weekend. Given …
Hoping all PNO couples had a pleasant Valentine’s weekend.
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson Sorry for the sporadic posting lately, but much has been going on behind the green Oz curtain over here. Not only are we following some corruption cases pretty closely, but we are trying to organize a fundraising function for WOUNDED WARRIOR in Old Town over …
Nito “triples down” on the actions of his administration.
https://www.prensa.com/politica/el-presidente-laurentino-cortizo-evalua-hoy-a-su-equipo-de-trabajo/ OP ED: James “JB” Bryson: My 3rd post on this, so obviously I am fascinated by the quotes coming from Cortizo. He’s backing himself into a corner and drawing a line in the sand with his insistence that all the bullshit of the past Political officials, Ministers, Comptrollers, Assembly …
This should be STUNNING!! C’mon Nito….Open Your Eyes!!
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson: I hope all my readers and any visitors to PNO.com can take the time to go back in our archives and see what a STAUNCH supporter of Nito Cortizo we were during the past year. OPENLY supporting him. I am not foolish enough to imply …
Indigenous of Panama: Native inhabitants fall victim to religious “Bubba Miseh”
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson- As my readers know, I am not a member of the Jewish faith, yet my granddaughter is being raised between two faiths, as her father is Jewish. That is how I first learned of the Yiddish term of Slavic origin above. “Bubba Miseh”, as I …
Apparent thief in lawless Bocas. Help me “OUT” this piece of SHIT.
OP ED: by James “JB” Bryson Over the course of this past year, I have been able to meet and correspond with quite a few locals in Bocas del Toro. Of course it was generally not talking over a good subject, but some of the people (“some”) have been pretty …
World should be WOKE to tragedy in Australia. Hoping all can help.
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson: Of all the shitty things that happened in a shitty week, it is this horrible event that has me the most upset. Australia is literally going through an extinction level event with these wildfires. A country so unique with an abundance of animals and fauna …
United States UPDATE: Recent Trump statement implies de-escalation.
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson- If some of the military Ex-Pats over here have not stayed in immediate attention, the 12 land based missiles that hit US appropriated military installations in Iraq resulted in ZERO casualties. This is being universally viewed as a coordinated saving of face in light of …
Back from the Holidays! PNO trying to stay positive for 2020.
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson– So my first “official” post for 2020 is going to try to be positive. 2019 ended,,,,well in a word “stressed” for me. The time spent in Florida whether on a boat, on the links, or playing chess with my granddaughter was appreciated and needed beyond …
Swedish girl compelled to promote climate measures is chastised by my President. #asshole
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson- I find it so crazy that “any” leader, can find “any” issue with what this young lady has done to promote conversation over climate change. When most “tweens” are wondering what is happening with the Jonas Brothers or the newest PlayStation game, this one is …
A possible better option than Paper Straws to replace Plastic.
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson- As much as the bay surrounding my condo in Panama makes me sick to my stomach, coming home to the states I am reminded in full how pollution once it hits the seas is not relegated to the 2nd and 3rd world nations. Quite the …
Posting few and far between for PNO. Home for the Holiday’s
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson– Taking a moment while looking at the Atlantic ocean on a beautiful day today just to reflect. The overwhelming conclusion I come to is ” I have much better shit to do then open this site every day“. We are staying in the US for …
PNO Thanksgiving checklist: Varelaleaks, Bocas del Toro, and Steven.
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson– In taking this time to truly be thankful, I really have to scrub my brain to find some things that made sense for me. I say that because overall, this year has been a bit of a “pain in the ass“!! My simple past time …
I hope all can feel the joy I have in this. Better than picking Super Bowl winner.
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson- I’m just saying being “RIGHT” about a topic is so much better than being “WRONG”. All the shit I took in looking at the Martinelli case with open eyes has been vindicated. Even more so now as I live here and learn the patterns of …
This was fairly hidden from Ex-Pats. At least this one….
OP ED: “JB” Bryson- There is not much scientific to what I post here daily. I generally peruse the local papers in English format and find topics that I want to opine upon. Not rocket science. I was alerted to this story by some readers in America, and found it …
RE: Conde’ Nest . Panama spending $6 Million for Tourism campaign.
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson- It is apparent that Panama is interested in getting more visitors to come here, but as my son in law mentioned and I have echoed constantly. Where is the contribution to get people to STAY? I/E Why do the Ex-Pats and the land issues and …
Just a little tidbit for PNO followers, as “privacy” is ruling the day.
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson: Since all of us are now reading of the Martinelli “punctures”, and now Varelaleaks, I still have some lingering questions about the “who” and the “why” behind certain things myself. Though admittedly not nearly as high profile. As I post each day with my own …
Varela claims Martinelli behind leaks……….NO SHIT you filthy Judas!! Opus Dei mistress having MFer.
OP ED: Sorry people, but did Varela state from Shanghai, that he feels Martinelli is behind his leaked communications???? Did he hire Scooby Doo and Shaggy to handle the case? My reaction is one of “No Shit”. The guy benefits from serving as VP. Fractures the party. Immediately turns of …
Evo goes to the old playbook. Seen before.
OP ED: Nothing new here. Seen before all over the world. The Shah of Iran, Marcos, Duvalier, Mubarak, all to name a few. Some would say here in PANAMA also. Plunder your fill for the country and constituents you represent, and then golden parachute your way in the world. Maybe …
PNO says a “Thank You” to all US Veterans.
PanamaNowOnline is taking a small blog moment to send a sincere and heart felt “THANK YOU” to each and every Man and Woman that has in the past, is currently, or will be in the future, SERVE in duty of the United States of America. Any PNO.com visitor that feels …
Dovetailing off Steven’s post: PANAMA #1 destination of Conde’ Nest. Bocas: Get your shit together.
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson: Timing is everything. Just the other day my son in law posted his first OP ED not relating to legal about his recent travel and the possibility of seeing more of Panama. Well the world seems to think that there is much to see here …
Porcell revealed as FRAUD. Acted as a personal shield for Varela with ODEBRECHT.
https://www.laestrella.com.pa/nacional/191106/191107-consejos-recibia-varela-ministerio- The way in which the then President Juan Carlos Varela and the current Attorney General of the Nation, Kenya Porcell , were inexplicable. It extended beyond a parallel hand of justice, as this newspaper revealed in a series of reports detailing the Executive’s interference in criminal cases investigated by the Public Ministry . It was more …
No reply from Varela- “former President is at a Trade show in Shanghai”.
OP ED: No shit, we showed him flying there MONTHS ago. LMFAO. One of the benefits of granting multiple billion dollar contracts to China while in office. Martinelli went to Miami after ending his term, why is old Carlos settling in a Communist country on the other side of the …
Once again….PNO has been all over this shit. Are you kidding me?
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson– Now I have spent the better part of the past 6 months explaining to various sorts that I am NOT a journalist. Just a guy that likes to write and has an interest in some very distinct topics. POLITICS being one of them. And with …
You ever have one of those days people? Today is one.
OP ED: by James “JB” Bryson– To my critics and consistent advice givers, e-mailers, and comment makers. “JB” is gonna go eat some lunch with the wifey. My feeling today is the following sentiment posted above. Get back to all you PNO visitors when I feel like it.
PNO delivering direct response from Red Frog Beach/Bastimentos Holdings.
OP ED: James “JB” Bryson: To those that have been keen to keep contacting me in regards to this 12 year old issue between two groups battling over land in Bocas, I am providing to you the following. Below is a direct response from Mr.Joe Haley, CEO of Red Frog …
Even “New” Panama, still guilty of selective moral high ground.
https://www.laestrella.com.pa/nacional/politica/191010/malo-raul-saint-medida-revocan OP ED: James “JB” Bryson- As they usher yet another high level scumbag out of court in handcuffs, with the appearance that Panama is cracking down on BRIBES and PAYOFFS, I do have to laugh. Look, I am certain this MFer is guilty and complicit with ODEBRECHT. Not my …
Quick post while away: Support for AWF continues.
by James “JB” Bryson– Visiting family in states, and have been PNO banned for a few days. I did however see this blurb on YAHOO, where it shows one of my actual heroes. While other celebrities and those of influence are not very involved, the Royal Family of the UK, …
