Comment of the week

MAMAGUYING MICHAEL PINTARD

06/07/26 9:26 AM

Mamaguying is a wonderful expression from Trinidad and Tobago to describe someone who is good at fooling people about their intentions. That is the way to aptly describe the actions of Michael Pintard, the Leader of the Opposition. He is faking and feigning that he now intends to consider giving up, after setting up things that he knows will lead to his not giving up.

The lawyers call the strategy: stall delay and defer.

So he had the pack of 7 who support him in the House say that they support him, even though he knows he should have resigned as soon as the defeat was known in the last election.

Having secured their support, then he called the FNM governing Council together and had them agree in violation of their constitution to postpone a convention from this year until 2027.

How can we forget to mention the fake town meeting in Freeport on Thursday 4th June 2026 to show he has the support of the people?

As a sop to his critics, he said he will hold a conclave, a secret meeting to do a post mortem on what went wrong. We don’t need a conclave to tell them what went wrong. He went wrong and he needs to go.

He said that after the conclave, he will decide whether it’s time to go.

We said it best the man who wrote the book on Politricks is at it again, the master political deceiver: he intends to go nowhere.

We call it what it is: mamaguying.

DUANE SANDS GETS ENOUGH CUT ASS

06/07/26 9:20 AM

The Chairman of the FNM, the mender of hearts Dr. Duane Sands has thrown in the towel. He says that when they hold their next convention, he will not be running for Chairman of the FNM. Thank the Lord for that.  He is now 1 for four in general election contests. So let’s hope he got the message from the Bahamian people. Now we need to hear that he will remove his face from front line politics and go where his skills are actually needed in the hospital and fix some hearts. So long bye bye.

CARTWRIGHT BRAYING FROM THE OUTSIDE

06/07/26 9:13 AM

It is a sad spectacle to see the now seatless Deputy Leader of the Free National Movement outside the House of Assembly, braying from the sidelines about one cause or another. He should have gotten the FNM nomination for the safe Killarney seat but they gave it to the daughter of one of the party’s upper class. He was not from the manor born. In the FNM, it’s a family affair.  When the House of Assembly last met, he was outside in his cap in the hot son, talking about some politician number one but the real deal was going on inside the House of Assembly and later in the Senate.  The man who threw the mace out of the window in an affront to the legacy of Black Tuesday, was not even appointed as the Deputy Leader of his party in the Senate.  It shows you what kind of man Michael Pintard is. Mean and spiteful.  It shows you what kind of party the FNM is: mean and spiteful.  Not one of them spoke up for Mr. Cartwright. So there he is braying from the outside. So sad.

LABOUR DAY: THE PLP SUPPORTS LABOUR

06/07/26 9:08 AM

Nassau

Freeport

The Progressive Liberal Party turned up in their thousands collectively in Freeport and in Nassau on the annual Labour Day march.  The Prime Minister Philip Davis led the parade in Nassau and the Deputy Prime Minister Chester Cooper led the parade in Freeport.  It was a joyous occasion, adding to the joy of course was the fact that the party had just won a general election.  The FNM and their leader who have been missing in their uniforms for the past two years, decided that they had better come out this time in their colours.  They showed up in both places glad handing and flashing their V sign.  It was pitiful.  Here’s our take on what is happening.  Michael Pintard has decided that he is not leaving as leader of the party. He is digging his heels in, even though convention says having led his party to disaster, he must resign. He hopes by stalling and deferring and appearing to be un-phased that he can stay on as Leader of the Opposition. That will be possible so long as he has the support of the members of the House. That is why the PLP cannot relax for one moment. As of 20 June 2026, there are 59 months left before the next general election due 20 May 2031. Don’t forget it..

FREEPORT: THE PRIVATE SECTOR LETS US DOWN

06/07/26 9:02 AM

There was a time in Grand Bahama and in Freeport in particular, you could not stick a pin at Port Lucaya, the fake market built by Edward St George to give tourists something to do in Freeport.  It became a mecca for the young and the restless and a good time was had by most. Young Bahamians gathered on weekends. The bars were full. The tourists liked to join the natives cavorting in the Port’s market place. Not anymore.  A new group came to the government about fifteen years ago with British capital and promised the world in its redevelopment. They failed and what you see today is yellow tape with do not cross lines.  Recently a fence was put up to stop wandering traffic from falling into the sea on the rickety boardwalk and docks. There are no customers. Not on Thursday in front of a public holiday and not on Friday night in front of Saturday. The private sector has not done what it should do to keep things going and Port Lucaya’s investors are an example of that failure.  They have a reputation for extracting rents from the straw market vendors and throwing them out if they don’t pay but the evidence of investment and promotion is sorely lacking. They have let us down.

ROLLINS GETS IT WRONG ON PERMANENT RESIDENCE

06/07/26 8:56 AM

Andre Rollins, the MP for Long Island for the FNM, is feeling his oats and launched out into the deep on the issue of permanent residence and citizenship last week in the press. He claimed that the government was trying to pull a fast one by creating a new path to permanent residency and citizenship without the scrutiny of Parliament by placing it in the budget package. He is a silly Billy, a nitwit who doesn’t understand what the hell he is talking about. The measure announced by the government has nothing to do with creating a new path to anything. Right now if you apply for citizenship and you are turned down and the government grants you permanent residence instead, this is an existing power, there is no charge for that permanent residency. This is simply to equate the charge of 500 dollars for permanent residence if granted to that of the certificate of citizenship. It is a revenue measure. When you’re dumb you’re dangerous.

PRIME MINISTER FRIDAY RETURNS TO THE BAHAMAS

06/07/26 8:54 AM

Dr. the Hon. Godwin Friday is the new Prime Minister of St Vincent and the Grenadines. He came to The Bahamas first as a student of Professor Michael Craton in the 1980s. He wrote his Master’s thesis on the External Affairs of The Bahamas. He helped to do the research in the Bahamas archives about the history of The Bahamas for Professor Craton’s seminal work with Dr. Gail Saunders. He has fond memories of the place, living in the home of Dr. Johnny Rogers’ mother. He returned as Prime Minister and did the favour of coming to The Bahamas Alrae Ramsay Institute of Foreign Affairs (BARIFA), the training institute for Bahamian diplomats. The speech took place on Thursday 4 June 2026 at the Foreign Ministry. He spoke up in favour of the fight for climate change and multilateralism. Fred Mitchell welcomes Dr Godwin Friday to the BARIFA cohorts at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

BPL MUST KEEP THE POWER ON

06/07/26 8:52 AM

The Progressive Liberal Party under its Energy Minister JoBeth Coleby Davis has done well in its effort to reform the long term development and supply of power to The Bahamas. Kudos for that. The problem is getting there is uneven in that the power keeps going off and it’s pissing the population off. The issue appears to be the lack of communication about what they are doing.  In order to stop the power failures, they are trying to redevelop the grid that is badly in need of repair and upgrade. In the process, the power has got to go off. The problem is no one is told what they are doing, at least the public is in the dark. The point has been made to BPL. Let’s hope they improve their communication skills and that they get this job done by July as promised. They say there should be no problem with power availability this summer, the problem is the grid and they are working quickly to fix it.

Letters to the editor

The FNM and the Politics of Grief

06/07/26 7:30 AM

ABAGAIL CARTWRIGHT DEAN’S BLUE HOLE

Since May 12, I have been closely observing the political climate in The Bahamas, and one conclusion continues to stand out: the FNM has not yet come to terms with its electoral defeat.

To understand what we are witnessing, it may be helpful to revisit the work of Swiss-American psychiatrist Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, who introduced the five stages of grief in 1969: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

While originally developed to explain how people process loss, the model has since been applied to organizations, institutions, and even political movements facing significant setbacks.

Importantly, the stages of grief are not linear. People move between stages, often revisiting emotions before ultimately arriving at acceptance.

Over the past several weeks, the FNM appears stuck somewhere between denial and anger.

Consider a few examples:

  1. A social media post recently featured a young woman identifying herself as “Victim Number One” of the new PLP administration, despite the government barely being out of the starting blocks.
  2. Several FNM-aligned radio personalities continue to devote hours of passionate, hate-filled, angry outrage, unsubstantiated accusations, and campaign-style attacks, recycling narratives that voters clearly rejected at the polls.
  3. Another FNM commentator attempted to argue that the PLP is somehow a “minority government” because of voter turnout figures, suggesting that electoral victory does not equate to a legitimate governing mandate. (Clearly, they don’t understand, or don’t want to accept, how we are affected by the continuous voter register).

These arguments may energize a disappointed base, but they do little to explain why voters delivered such a decisive verdict – a sound rejection of the FNM.

More importantly, they distract from the serious reflection required after any electoral loss.

The healthiest political organizations eventually move beyond grief and toward introspection. The FNM may wish to consider that step soon.

Until then, perhaps the party should explore a national group discount on grief counseling. Because judging by the public commentary, acceptance remains a long way off.
