First Hubert Minnis has been packing the courts with his FNM friends. So justice is not what it ought to be, soon it will turn out to be for FNMs only. Now he further perverted the system by choosing a largely FNM corps to join the ranks of the Queen’s Counsels. This is supposed to […]

THE STRANGE CASE OF THE JUNKANOO RESULTS
So the Junkanoo results this year remind you of the saying “ not every good-bye is gone”. On Boxing Day 2019 the Junkanoo Corporation (JCNP) announced that the Valley Boy’s A Group had won the parade. They did so by a hair’s breadth. The Saxons were hard on their heels. The Corporation said that the […]
BAD SERVICE IN THE BAHAMAS AT AIRPORTS AND ON AIRLINES
The traveller’s in The Bahamas are not well served by the airlines that fly them around, nor by the regulator that is to be looking after their safety.

JOHNNY RODGERS IS WRONG ON EXCHANGE CONTROL
Dr. Johnny Rodgers was in a sense to the manor born. He is now a successful businessman, built on top of a successful career in eye medicine. He is the son of another Doctor Rodgers. He has two well to do sisters both successful in their own rights having retired from the public service. On […]
MINNIS SAYS THAT WE ARE TOO DUMB TO UNDERSTAND
The country already has the experience of the Prime Minister seeking to fool people by signing that Oban Deal for Grand Bahama with a 5 billion dollar investment tag and it turned out to be as phony as a two dollar bill.
ANOTHER REASON FOR THE MINISTER OF HEALTH TO GO
If the Prime Minister has no confidence in the Ministry of Health, then that means really he had no confidence in the Minister.
EVER TRIED REACHING AN RBC MANAGER?
Have you ever tried to reach someone at a Branch of the Royal Bank of Canada or Finco in The Bahamas? You should try it for yourself even if you are not “a client” as they say of the Bank. You dial a number in Nassau and someone in Jamaica picks up the phone. You […]
MARVIN DAMES PUTS HIS FOOT IN HIS MOUTH ON C O P
The Progressive Liberal Party has asked several times for the resignation or dismissal of Marvin Dames, the Minister of National Security. The cry first came out because he was condemned judicially by a magistrate for interfering in the case against Frank Smith, the former MP and Senator. He has also shown time and again that […]
BRIAN MOREE AND THE GOVERNOR GENERAL COLLECT A TITLE
The pompous Brian Moree, who is now the Chief Justice of The Bahamas, ( god help us all ) is now Sir Brian Moree. Now that he has the knighthood, he can probably retire and go back to his practice. For good measure, the Governor General C A Smith now has another title to add […]
MINNIS SAYS HE HAS SEVEN YEARS ( DREAM ON BROTHER)
In his New Year’s statements to reporter Leandra Rolle of The Tribune and published in 2 January 2020, the Prime Minister Hubert Minnis said that he has seven years to fulfill his campaign promise to fulfill his campaign promises.

The Congos Are Seen Off By Senator Fred Mitchell
GLENYS HANNA MARTIN’S ACTIVE POLITICAL COMMENTS
We repeat a series of posts by Glenys Hanna Martin, the Shadow Minister of Transport, from her Facebook Page.

We have constitutional protections as citizens in a democratic […]
THE BIG DRONE RIP OFF
That Marvin Dames is a political nitwit and an insensitive twit, the world knows it. The part that they do not know is that he is a spendthrift. Last year he signed a two million dollars contract to install something called shot spotter technology which was supposed to spot gunshots in the town and stop […]
UH OH! MICHAEL PINTARD: YOU CAN’T BE HALF PREGNANT
From The Tribune13 December 2019 (Editor’s Note: we print below the report from The Tribune of the statement in support of Prime Minister Hubert Minnis by Michael Pintard MP.

BORIS AND LUNACY IN THE U.K.
The people of the united Kingdom have surely lost their minds. They have now given the Government into the hands of an imbecile, albeit one educated at Oxford.
Yamacraw Branch Hears From Fred Mitchell | 9 December 2019
WHAT DOES HIRING KAY FORBES SMITH MEAN POLITICALLY
The dirty deed has been done by Hubert Minnis, the Prime Minister. He passed a whole act to create a superfluous hurricane relief agency, just to create a sinecure for Kay Forbes Smith, to whom he owes the slogan: It’s the people’s time.
THE SAD TALE OF A SCUM BAG NAMED OMAR ARCHER
The question everyone is asking and in answer to which all FNMs from the Hubert Minnis own down are blind, deaf and dumb, is how is that a man who is obviously a damn fool, wacky in the extreme, a crooked bad a criminal, continuing to be on the public payroll dissing officials of the country and there appears to be no one who can govern him?
JOAN SAWYER A SAD AND PATHECTIC CREATURE
Dame Joan Sawyer was not the best jurist in country; in fact we was one of the worst. She had a reputation for seizing a side and then bashing counsel disrespectfully in the courts.
THE JUSTCE SYSTEM MESS
The picture shows the now discredited Jonathan Ash, the star witness in the concocted case of the Crown against Shane Gibson. This big grown man who claimed to be a born again Christian came to court hiding like a little bitch behind seven policemen and sung for his supper, that is, got immunity to tell […]
BIASED HEADLINES IN THE PRESS ON GIBSON
This is but one example of the tendentious and inflammatory headlines by the press over the course of the Shane Gibson trial. They were obviously designed to create prejudice against the defendant. There is no press council or legislation to provide redress for this and the Judge on the case Carolita Bethel refused to do […]

THE FAKE AND PHONY RIGHTS BAHAMAS
So the fake and phony Fred Smith front organization was offended this past week because someone, who they didn’t name and couldn’t seem to identify, published what they claimed were lies about the principals of the fake and phony organization that were unflattering and defamatory, so they said. In an angry press statement, they claimed […]
FAKE STORY BY DUANE SANDS ON THE PUBLIC HOSPITALS
The headline in The Tribune last week was as startling and it was untrue. According to Dr Duane Sands, the PLP put in place a contract with a vendor called All Scripts, for the installation of a Health Management Information System.
