  1. Source, no mention that Albert Bryan, knowing that he has an empty message, has reneged on an agreement to debate Mapp?
    The fact tht the Source is showing the same favoritism for Bryan like they did for DeJongh cements the fact that Bryan-Roach-DeJongh is out to destroy the VI again with fake job promises, 8 percent cuts, unpaid refunds, disasterous rum deals, and back door Hovensa betrayals.
    Shame on you Source for your partial reporting.
