TRUMP YET AGAIN EMBARRASSES… A NEW LOW
It appears that Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has his way in that country and the most recent example is that of the appointment with the advice and consent of a craven Senate of a Judge to the Supreme Court who is alleged to be a rapist. This is the second time […]
WHAT THE HELL IS WITH DUANE SANDS
If you didn’t know any better, you would swear that Dr. Duane Sands was born to great wealth and privilege. He was born to the son of parents from modest beginnings who went on to do well but should have grounded their son into the fact that their father came from Lyon Road in Freetown. […]

Clint Watson Has A Go At Peter Turnquest
It appears that Deputy Prime Minister Peter Turnquest went a step too far when he personally attacked Clint Watson, the News Director at Eyewitness News. Mr. Turnquest described the work of Mr. Watson as propaganda. Mr. Watson was having none of that and struck back on TV. Candia Dames, the wicked journalistic witch of the […]
Earl Thompson Dies
Death is the great leveler and Earl Thompson who was buried followed a state recognized funeral service has gone into the great beyond.

We wondered what was going on. Now this week, The Tribune, headed by the journalistic […]
McAlpine Doesn’t Take Any Last From Prime Minister Minnis
It was Dr. Minnis who started it. Remember his first attitude was that you simply ignore the PLP and ignore the critics in his own party. No more. He went down to Crooked Island ostensibly to explain why he was at the UN in the last week in September. Inevitably the talk turned to domestics […]
