It looks like we are finally near the end of the nightmare which the United States voters imposed on the world.  The elected an idiot, a man sick in mind, a racist, a liar and a mad man.  He was helped by a group craven senators who would rather bow to his nonsense than fight […]

The Progressive Liberal Party’s Shadow Attorney General issued the following statement after the news that despite the promise of the Government to resist the trifling application of Fred Smith QC, the Government has now conceded that the action can proceed without the demand for security for costs: 15 January 2021 The government’s decision to forgo […]

The nerve of these wicked FNMs to say it’s about our future. But we guess they are right.  It is about our future. That’s why we will vote them out.

The disappointing news came from the Courts that despite the fact that the Court would not stop the exploratory oil drilling from proceeding by Bahamas Petroleum Company, the Court was going to allow the judicial review of the decision of the Government to licence the drilling to proceed.  This is most unfortunate.  The dog and […]

Merceline Dahl Regis M D So the first thing is you want to congratulate all those who got these British honours from the Queen on the 31st December 2020. So this comment is not about their service but about the silliness of these British honours. Amongst them is Merceline Dahl Regis who saved the backside […]

Some white Bahamian business people who live in Peter Turnquest’s East Grand Bahama constituency were all exercised a couple of weeks ago about the way Hubert Minnis is running the Government that they were for the first time considering, they said, a vote for the PLP. We all know that because of racism, they could […]

The FNM has been circulating a video with the man in the picture who they are crowing to the rafters about as a former PLP, now FNM. This is the same fellow who not six weeks ago, he was slamming an FNM MP for being hopeless. There is plenty parking space up there in that […]

Dear Editor, I was shocked to hear Renward Wells, who is the leader of government business in the House of Assembly, publicly berate David Forbes, the clerk of the House, for allowing a Private Members Bill to be read for a first time. Even though Minister Wells was seated at the time, in the moment […]

In today’s Bahamas this is what we have come to. You have people who have not been working for nine months or more.  There is no social safety net for any emergency. So there is constant demand for food, for housing and get this for burying your loved ones. Every step you take, there is […]

When a ministerial colleague resigns, the mood in the cabinet is like death warmed over. One day you are sitting in a powerful seat and making decisions, with policemen saluting to you.  The next day, you are gone.  That is the case of Peter Turnquest.  Only one colleague has spoken up for him that is […]

Bill Cosby, the American comedian, is sitting in jail, an old man, his reputation in ruins for a rape that he did not commit. But he is there because the usual protection for a Black man unjustly accused in the United States did not come to his rescue.  The Black community instead of coming to […]

At the end of the movie “The Prime of Jean Brodie”, the young woman who she had mentored but who had turned against her is walking away in satisfaction at the work of undoing Ms. Brodie her former mentor.  Ms. Brodie shouts out: “Assassin! Assassin!” That is the cry one could give to Michael Scott […]

It must be his days as a monk that informs his sanctimoniousness.  We are talking about Brother Joseph Darville, the anti PLP campaigner, who is dressed up in environmental protection clothes. He is the other half of the ventriloquist and the dummy team of Fred Smith, Q C.  So this week he is in the […]

So a Bahamian posted a note about Rick Fox and his success. Another Bahamian immediately wrote and trashed Rick Fox claiming that he had done nothing to help The Bahamas along with Klay Thompson and his dad Mychal Thompson. This is what Lynden Pindling used to call “begrudgefulness”. The fact of Rick Fox’s success is […]

The Nassau Guardian and The Tribune continue to give in its pages aid and comfort to a jackass and a slimy coward who cannot even sign his or her own name to the articles they write. They want to take jabs in the arena but like the sniveling coward he or she is are hiding […]

Donald Trump, the United States President, is living in a world of unreality.  The General Election results are in and he lost the election.  He can count his reign in weeks.  He and a few of his cohorts like the Secretary of State of the United States are the only ones that don’t seem to […]

Since the pandemic started, the Bahamian population at large accused the Bahamas Government of applying two sets of rules, one for the rich white foreigners and the other for the local Black Bahamians.  So people were saying that Albany the exclusive enclave out west in New Providence operated like nothing had changed, so did the […]

Politicians end up sometimes saying the most stupid things. The statement by Peter Turnquest, the Minister of  Finance, to the House of Assembly on Wednesday 4 November 2020 that turtles and sharks were proving to be a nuisance to fishermen ranks among some of the most stupid statements.  It shows his ignorance.  Maybe he was […]

Marlon Johnson is the Acting Financial Secretary. Instead of policy being discussed, he is consumed now in controversy over the fact that he does not believe in God. His name was never called but by deductive reasoning, an address by Bishop Neil Ellis last Sunday in his pulpit led to the conclusion that the atheist […]

So Diane Philips, the public relations lady, parades herself around as this sweet charming figure who cannot hurt a fly.  Certainly works on some but there is a darker side to the portrait.  She is allied with Fred Smith, the Q C in Grand Bahama and that is not a good thing. She proved that […]

Politics is an all or nothing game, sometimes.  You cannot be half pregnant and you cannot straddle the fence for long. We say that in the context of the double declarations made Dr. Duane Sands MP, sacked by Hubert  Minnis as Minister of Health, and now desperately searching round for a role in life. From […]

This pandemic is a serious matter but we be having jokes every day with these folks in the Free National Movement government. Peter Turnquest who is under attack for stupidly and ill advisedly taking on a 600 million dollars US loan at the exorbitant rate of 8.95 per cent was in the House of Assembly […]

So after days of speculation in the social media press, the Prime Minister Hubert Minnis finally fessed up with this line of bull to defend the fact that the number two man on the Covid Task Force and the Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr. Delon Brennen had disappeared from New Providence and  was said to […]

The following is an analysis provided to us anonymously of the Government’s 600 million dollars loan and the report of the Government’s Economic Recovery Committee.  You will see from this that we have been badly served by Hubert Minnis, Peter Turnquest and the whole FNM administration.–  Editor Any right thinking Bahamian must be very exercised […]

Some people in The Bahamas are in a state of frenzy because of a documentary they put together by the activist and preacher Lincoln Bain about the aragonite resources in The Bahamas. It appeared on the television station Eyewitness News om Friday 16 October 2020. We ask people to take this stuff with a grain […]
