Comment of the week

INGRAHAM IS BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE

05/10/26 12:32 PM

Well its looks like the saying when you’re dead you’re done does not apply to the FNM and Hubert Ingraham. It certainly seems that every goodbye is not gone. There he was dragged out and tired, huffing and puffing on the public stage. He was so lost in his mumbling commentary that he couldn’t remember the names of the people he was talking about. He needs to go back to Delores and get some nurture.

Last week on Wednesday 6 May 2026, Hubert Ingraham, the former Prime Minister made a cameo appearance on the public stage in Nassau and the next day in Abaco. He used the opportunity to spout his usual bile at any and every one. He used a fake narrative on immigration. He claimed he was concerned about passports, and then launched a begrudgeful attack on Sebass Bastian, the numbers man and the PLP’s candidate for Ft Charlotte.

This is a man, Hubert Ingraham, who was our Prime Minister three times and he now wants to block others from getting the job. What a sour puss.

The point made by PLP Chair Fred Mitchell is most relevant to this debate. Hubert Ingraham is not running for anything. What he is engaging in is tedious irrelevance.

What we want to know is what Pintard is saying, not Ingraham.

That’s all folks.

PINTARD HIDING BEHIND INGRAHAM’S GOWN TAIL

05/10/26 12:29 PM

You know the FNM is absolutely desperate when they drag Hubert Ingraham and his tired old ass and put him up on a public stage to repeat the drivel that he did last week: passports, Sebass and fake narratives about immigration. What a shame. The talk from the candidates of Michael Pintard is that they are running on fumes. He is unable to raise any money to fight his campaign. Perhaps his haplessidate for Fox Hill said it best when he got up on the public stage and said in three languages that he is tired. The FNM is tired. They are on track to getting a good cut ass.

A REGRETTABLE CONFUSION AT PARLIAMENTARY

05/10/26 12:25 PM

The Parliamentary Commissioner’s office has been making too many mistakes. The problem is that whenever they make a mistake, the drama queens at the FNM cause a huge row and then blame the PLP when in fact the PLP has nothing to do with it. This caused the Chairman of the PLP Fred Mitchell to issue the following statement, a facsimile of the letter written to the Parliamentary Commissioner:

6 May 2026

Mr. Harrison Thompson

Parliamentary Commissioner

Nassau, The Bahamas

Dear Sir:

I write on behalf of the Progressive Liberal Party to express a concern about the manner and timing of communications from the Commissioner’s office to our party’s representatives to your office.  Our representatives report that there was short notice for what was a routine election procedure on Tuesday 5 May 2026. This short notice resulted in a regrettable confusion at the site of the police headquarters.

We do not share the view that the public drama at the police headquarters was necessary but this is what we have come to expect from Opposition parties who appear to be on a mission to discredit the office when in fact your office has been a study in excellent cooperation.

However, it would be useful to seek to avoid any such further opportunities for them and adverse criticisms on our party, if there is an agreed strategy of reasonable and early communication between us and all other parties involved in the processes.

Our concern is that every time there appears to be a default, it is the PLP that is being blamed for the issues when in fact we bear no responsibility for it and like other parties to the matter have similar concerns.

We however chose to and will continue to cooperate to make the system work and not seek to over dramatize any default.  However, we make the point that communication on a timely basis would avoid any such future controversies.

Yours sincerely,

Fred Mitchell

Chairman

A STUPID STATEMENT BY CARLYE BETHEL ON THE FNM STAGE

05/10/26 12:22 PM

When you get up on the rally stage, one of things you do not do is get carried away with the noise in the crowd. That is the propensity that Carlyle Bethel, son of the former Attorney General, has. He is loose with his mouth. The latest is a snide remark about the U S President from the rally stage on Wednesday 6 May 2026. Here is how the Minister of Foreign Affairs responded:


7 May  2026

We want to make it clear that The Bahamas government  dissassociates  itself with remarks by an irresponsible  actor on the FNM stage on 6 May  2026 about the sitting President of the United States. That FNM actor suggested that the President of the United States was involved in what he called a stop the steal elections campaign in that country.

The Bahamas government does not comment or involve itself in the internal affairs of the United States. We work in the best interest of our country. We have advised all of our public actors to refrain from commenting on U S domestic policies.

The Leader of The Opposition should discipline his member’s mouth lest he and his colleagues put us all in jeopardy by loose talk on a public stage.

THE FNM HAVE BECOME POLTICAL DRAMA QUEENS

05/10/26 12:14 PM

Every day, there is some emergency press conference and manufactured crisis by the Free National Movement. When the dust and smoke clears, it turns out that it was much ado about nothing. Fred Mitchell, Chairman of the PLP issued the following statement after Michael Pintard claimed in an emergency press conference late on Thursday 7 May 2026 that the Parliamentary Commissioner and the government were trying to pack the register with people who were unqualified to vote. That is a lie. Here is the Chairman’s statement:

8 May 2026

We thank the Parliamentary Commissioner’s office for clarifying the issues relating to the register. I have cautioned PLPs that whenever Michael Pintard issues a statement, please count to ten and backwards before you believe anything be says. He is becoming the country’s greatest crier of wolf since that fairy tale  was first  written.

The facts are exactly the opposite of what he has charged. He claimed that there was some vast conspiracy to pack the register with unqualified voters. It was highly irresponsible of him and alarmist in the extreme to throw out the numbers that he did, knowing that the truth was nothing of the sort.

The truth is quite different. What has happened is there are folks who have valid voters cards, purple cards and biometrics cards and their names have not turned up  by misadventure on the  certified list. Unfortunately, it appears that the law does not provide an instant remedy.  It was thought that there must have been a way to remedy it administratively. That is the advice sought. We are advised and  verily believe that there was no attempt to get around the law.

The policy of the voting laws is that a voter should at all times be given the best opportunity to vote and not be disenfranchised by resort to technical rules.

It appears that the list if not amended would disenfranchise the voters who are otherwise fully qualified to vote but for the mishaps. The numbers are not statistically significant.

It may require a private citizen who finds themselves in this position to move the courts for an order of rectification if they anticipate that when  they turn up to vote and they are refused or directed to vote on a coloured ballot.

The PLP or the government had nothing to do with this matter and like all parties were notified by the Parliamentary Commissioner of the issue and we sought to ensure that the rights of Bahamians to vote were protected and not denied them like the Leader of  the Opposition and his colleagues were insisting.

This is yet another attempt to create a pretext for their losing campaign.

THE FAKE PASSPORT STORIES ARE LIES

05/10/26 12:06 PM

The FNM has nothing to hold on to, so all they do is get up on a public stage and repeated nonsense about passport fraud. There is no widespread passport fraud. There has been no issue with Bahamian passports. There have been seven people brought before the courts and convicted. That is out of 210,000 voters of no statistical impact. Hubert Ingraham raised the issue again on the public stage with his characteristic shadow boxing and innuendo. He claimed on Wednesday 6 May 2026 on the FNM stage that he was concerned. Concerned about what? His passport is absolutely secure and not fraudulently obtained as far as we are aware, unless he is not telling us something that we don’t know about himself.

INGRAHAM BEGRUDGEFUL

05/10/26 12:02 PM

The Free National Movement in their not so quiet desperation decided that they had to go to the graveyard last week and resurrect their last saviour, a man named Hubert Ingraham who was their former leader and three times our Prime Minister. He limped onto the public stage on Wednesday 6 May 2026 and with his characteristic huffing and puffing attacked one target after the next. Curiously enough, he started off by saying that he had promised to stay out of the race and give Brave Davis a shot but he came back because Sebass Bastian, the numbers man, is running and he wants to stop him from becoming Prime Minister.  Now we hold no brief for anyone. The question of who becomes Prime Minister is not for Hubert Ingraham to settle. It comes off as begrudgeful. He has had the job three times but he wants no one else to have it. There is no particular magic to becoming Prime Minister. In fact it is often luck of the draw. If Hubert Minnis became Prime Minister then anyone can.  Certainly in law anyone who is Bahamian, over 21 and of sound mind and is not bankrupt and gets elected to the house qualifies. So Mr. Ingraham should go quietly back into the good night.

NOTE TO CANDIA DAMES

05/10/26 11:58 AM

Don’t be such a nitpicker. The latest snide attack on Latrae Rahming does not become you. The Parliamentary Commissioner issued a statement. Once the statement gets into the public domain, what the eff is the difference who circulates it. So to make that point of contention is just silly.

STUPID DR FOX FNM CANDIDATE FOR FOX HILL DOPING SCANDAL

05/10/26 11:55 AM

So it appears that the FNM has not just one but two loony tunes with the last name Fox running for them. We know about the antics of Rick Fox. But now comes the candidate for the FNM in Fox Hill, who happens to be a Fox as well. He is caught up in a doping scandal on camera hawking growth hormone to athletes. He says that is fake news but he is right there admitting it. Then after threatening to give a prescription to his opponent in the PLP, he is on the public stage saying he is tired in three languages. What a dope. The following commentary was contributed anonymously on the issue of doping, the scandal in which Nicholas Fox, the FNM’s candidate is now involved:

DR. FOX CAUGHT ON HIDDEN CAMERA ALLEGEDLY PROVIDING BANNED ATHLETIC DRUGS TO AN ATHLETE?

Let’s give Dr. Fox the benefit of the doubt for a moment. He has stated that he was never charged with any crime, and while the substance in question may be banned in athletic competition elsewhere, it may still be legal in The Bahamas, there are still serious questions that deserve answers.

When a patient visits a doctor, does the patient tell the doctor what medication they want? Or is it the doctor’s responsibility to first examine the patient, make a diagnosis, and then prescribe medication based on medical need?

That is the concern here.

Even if the substance itself was legal locally, many people believe it was still wrong to provide drugs to someone without first conducting a proper medical examination and diagnosis.

So the question becomes:

Why was Dr. Fox chosen specifically?

Was he recommended because he was known to provide certain drugs upon request? If so, for how long has this allegedly been happening?

There is a clear difference between medication properly prescribed after medical evaluation and drugs handed out without proper examination. Any trained medical professional understands that distinction.

At the end of the day, these allegations raise very serious ethical concerns, and the matter deserves a full investigation, and Dr. Fox is not fit for office, not even his own medical office to be quite honest. Ya can’t trust him.

The Choice Before The Bahamas: Why the PLP and FNM Are Not the Same

05/10/26 11:52 AM

Over the past few weeks, I have heard a phrase repeated over and over again: “Both parties are the same.”

But anyone who truly understands the history, philosophy, and priorities of the two major parties knows that this simply is not true.

The differences are not cosmetic. They are ideological.

The Progressive Liberal Party was born out of struggle. It emerged as a movement against inequality, exclusion, and oppression. It was created to give ordinary Bahamians — the taxi driver, the straw vendor, the domestic worker, the fisherman, the single mother, the young man from the inner city, and the Family Island child with big dreams — a voice in a country where power was once reserved for a privileged few.

That philosophy still matters today.

The PLP is, at its core, the party of the working class.
It is the party that fights for minimum wage increases because it understands that workers deserve dignity and empowerment, not survival wages. It is the party that pushes training opportunities, entrepreneurship, and pathways for small business ownership because it believes economic opportunity should not belong only to the wealthy and well-connected.

The PLP recognizes the realities facing modern Bahamian families. We are an aging population battling chronic diseases, rising healthcare costs, and economic pressures that weigh heavily on ordinary households.

That is why the PLP introduced National Health Insurance. Not because it was politically convenient, but because healthcare should not be a luxury only the wealthy can afford.

The PLP sees the people others overlook.

It focuses on the elderly woman struggling to stretch her pension. The disabled citizen who needs dignity and support. The young graduate desperate for opportunity. The single parent trying to keep food on the table while building a better future for their children.

That matters.

In Matthew 25:40, Christ teaches that whatever we do for “the least of these,” we do unto Him. At its best, the philosophy of the PLP reflects those principles: lifting burdens, extending opportunity, and ensuring that the vulnerable are not abandoned by society.

The PLP understands that a nation cannot truly prosper if prosperity is reserved only for a small circle at the top. That is where the contrast with the FNM becomes impossible to ignore.

The FNM’s governance philosophy has often centered around protecting the interests of the powerful, the wealthy elite, and entrenched economic interests. Time and time again, working-class Bahamians are left feeling invisible while well-connected insiders continue to thrive. This creates a dangerous divide in society — one Bahamas for the rich and another for everyone else.

When wealth and opportunity become concentrated among a small group, the consequences ripple across the country: rising frustration, growing inequality, struggling communities, underfunded services, hopelessness among young people, and a shrinking middle class. A country divided between privilege and struggle can never truly move forward together.

The PLP offers a different vision.
A Bahamas where opportunity is expanded.
A Bahamas where healthcare is accessible.
A Bahamas where workers are respected.
A Bahamas where home ownership is possible for ordinary families.
A Bahamas where the government sees and values the people who wake up every day simply trying to build a better life.

On May 12, Bahamians must ask themselves a simple question:
Which party truly believes that progress should belong to everybody — not just the privileged few?

For many Bahamians, the answer has always been clear.

The PLP is not perfect, but it is the party that was born from the people, built by the people, and continues to fight for the people.

FELIX SANDS WRITES FROM FREEPORT

05/10/26 11:48 AM

A campaign based on Gloom and Doom; praying for drought so the crops in the field will dry up and die.  For every problem the Bahamas faces,  the Haitian people are blamed.  This is the campaign of Pintard, Sands, and Bain.  A 2026 campaign based on despair, instead of Hope.

Today Grand Bahama stands on the verge of a Renaissance.  US dollars are in widespread circulation and is being given for change in stores on Grand Bahama.

The Grand Bahama Port Authority, the colonial overlords of the island is being held to account by the Davis Administration. Michael Pintard, however, for his part have taken the posture of a Slave, defending ‘his‘ colonial Masters, clearly siding with the GBPA, which is the wrong side.

Today because of Pintard’s embarrassing Uncle Tom’s posture with the GBPA, along with internal fighting in the FNM, his Marco City seat is now in jeopardy, along with the once stronghold of Central Grand Bahama, could possibly fall.

Today, unapologetically, consistent with the slave mentality the FNM has set their eyes on putting the numbers boys out of business; hundreds of gaming employees could find themselves on the unemployment line.

The math of the Davis Administration given out as much as 300,000 citizenships does not add up with the amount of new register voters.  Clearly this was a lie to rile up the the prejudice against the Haitian people, how sad!

On Tuesday May 12th, the people are faced with two choices Hope and Progress.  The other side, a campaign struggling to find a message with a subservient leader trying to hold together a divided house with a message of  DOOM and Gloom.

We pray God’s Sovereign will be done.

LOOK WHOSE COMPLAINING ABOUT VOUCHERS

05/10/26 12:08 PM

Boo! Hoo! Hoo! Dr. Duane Sands, the man who gave a million dollar contract to the chief witness of the FNM in the trial of Frank Smith, the former Senator and MP; Dr. Duane Sands condemned by the courts for interfering with justice by appearing to be seeking to influence the chief witness, is now concerned that the PLP is giving out vouchers in Abaco for roof repairs. So here’s the deal: Fred Mitchell the Chairman of the PLP said that the people of Abaco don’t care about who is giving out the vouchers. In fact, he said the PLP should be giving out more vouchers if they have them. We agree.
