Comment of the week

THE LOONEY TOONS HAVE REALLY TAKEN OVER THE FNM

05/24/26 1:35 PM

We have been warning the population for weeks that the FNM was being led and taken over by a set of nut cases.  The campaign that they ran for the general election was devoid of policy and large on nastiness and invective. Michael Pintard led the crazy party in the last general election. He has the support a cast of loonies from Rick Fox, the former basketball player, to the boy from Long Island who used to be PLP. They and their leader are a set of political nut cases.

It is really unfortunate that the PLP did not put more resources into fighting the Marco City seat. They essentially gave this fellow Pintard a bye. He was able to range up and down the country like a wild animal seeking to devour prey.

The same can be said for Long Island. The PLP had its best chance to win Long Island ever but the candidate turned out not to be acceptable to the people of Long Island and so we now have a looney toon elected to office whose stock in trade is political harassment.  A man who is well trained but has turned himself into a national fool.

Then there is Rick Fox, the basketball player. He still thinks he is playing basketball, where trash talking gets you far. He is acting out his frustrations on the stage. He is starting fights where none exist. He is disgracing his father who was PLP to the core but whose son has walked away from that legacy and is wallowing in the substandard creed of the chief looney Michael Pintard.

Bottom line is they are a sorry bunch and no amount of ex post facto patching up can help with their reputations.  The FNM is a lost party. The loonies have taken over the FNM,

This does not mean that the PLP can relax because you’re never sure about this Bahamian public. They have gone for the loonies before but we must not allow that to happen ever again.

THE MAD MAN FROM LONG ISLAND

05/24/26 1:11 PM

The PLP made a mistake allowing Andre Rollins to get back in the House of Assembly. The Leader of the FNM Michael Pintard has made a mistake allowing Andre Rollins back into his caucus. The House of Assembly hadn’t even started yet on 20 May 2026 when Mr. Rollins disrupted the proceedings by shouting the equivalent of “penitenziagite” from his seat. The disturbance was ignored this time but both the Speaker and the House majority ought to understand what they are in store for as Mad Max from Long Island is now in the House.

KWASI THE QUIET SHAMES US ALL

05/24/26 1:07 PM

The man with the dulcet tones, the face of an angel and a voice to match, was the one who started the disruption in the House of Assembly by FNM members when they were being sworn in.  He was standing behind Kingsley Smith and Kwasi Thompson, FNM MP for East Grand Bahama started mumbling something under his breath about answering questions.  They were taunting Mr. Smith in the face of rumours swirling in the public arena about some politician that the Americans claimed held a suspect meeting in the House of Assembly.  Mr. Smith has nothing to answer but that does not stop the propagandists from the FNM from making the accusations.  Of course they have nothing to say about the fact that Marvin Dames, the FNM’s candidate for Mt. Moriah, his partner was caught allegedly with 200 kilos of cocaine going into Miami.  They have nothing to say about that.

THE WOMEN FNMS VOTE AGAINST A WOMAN SPEAKER

05/24/26 1:05 PM

Michaela Barnett, the Killarney MP for the FNM, went to the press shortly after she was elected on 20 May 2026 and said that she expected to be and would be a champion for women. We wonder that she did not see the irony of her casting her vote in the House of Assembly to oppose the choice of a female as Speaker of the House. She and the other FNM MP woman Frazette Gibson both cast their first votes against the choice of a woman for Speaker of the House.

PARLIAMENT OPENS IN SPLENDOUR

05/24/26 12:54 PM

It is a time honoured ritual, the speech from the throne.  Dame Cynthia Pratt and the nation’s uniformed forces turned up and put on quite a show at Atlantis on 20 May 2026, where the ceremony was moved because inclement weather was expected but never showed up.  The new MPs were dressed in their finery as were the workers who helped to get them there and the officers of the state.  This is supposed to be a serious and solemn state occasion but in the traditions of the African population that we have it was quite a raucous affair punctuated by loud applause and affirmations of the new government.

ONLY 14 VOTES BETWEEN THE PLP AND FNM IN GRAND BAHAMA

05/24/26 11:45 AM

The Free National Movement keeps claiming that they are FNM country in Grand Bahama. Here are what the stats show in Grand Bahama in the outturn of the general election. Across all Grand Bahama seats the following: PLP 8955, FNM 8969, COI 2102, Independents 30. That means that there were only 14 votes separating the PLP from the FNM in Grand Bahama, island wide. Put another way, when combined with the COI, there are more people in opposition to the FNM than support them. Further, rounded off in per cent, both parties are at 44 per cent of the popular vote.

THE STRANGE CASE OF A PREJUDICIAL UNITED STATES AFFIDAVIT

05/24/26 11:14 AM

On the day of the general election a plane took off from Abaco to fly to Grand Bahama with a pilot Ian Nixon on board. He ended up putting the plane down in the waters off Melbourne, Florida with 11 passengers. The passengers were going to vote in Grand Bahama. They never made it.  The U S Coastguard picked up the survivors and instead of taking them to The Bahamas they took them to Florida. The passengers were processed and then the U S detained one of them, a man named Eric Gardiner, a building contractor in The Bahamas. He was later spirited away and charged with conspiracy to import drugs into the United States from the Southern District of New York, the one that the US President Trump said was politically influenced.  Mr. Gardiner has not been allowed access to Bahamian consular officials up to this time.  The arrest was based on a report by a Drug Enforcement Agent of the US that claimed that there was a meeting with an unnamed politician in the House Of Assembly and the suggestion is that the politician was involved in this scheme with Mr. Gardiner that they have alleged. The problem is it is all hearsay and untested. Yet the Bahamian press goes rushing down headlong putting questions to politicians about whether they are the unnamed politician.  Here we go again. This is complete nonsense and we agree with the MP who issued a statement saying so. They claim that 30k in Bahamian cash was found on the plane and the unnamed politician’s name was on the envelope. Then they put two and two together and to make five when in fact it is likely the money has nothing to do with any drug conspiracy at all. Stupid Duane Sands, the FNM Chairman, got in the mix by saying that somehow 30k in cash on Election Day was a mystery. What a fool. Good that he lost the election.

Beyond Party Lines: Building the Bahamas We Want

05/24/26 11:02 AM

– ABAGAIL CARTWRIGHT FROM DEAN’S BLUE HOLE

The Opening of Parliament last Wednesday marked more than the beginning of a new administration in The Bahamas. It was a reminder that our democracy is alive, evolving, and deeply woven into our culture.

From the elegant dresses to the signature hats, tradition remained firmly on display. Politics in The Bahamas has always carried a cultural rhythm of its own.
But beyond the fashion and ceremony, many Bahamians were listening closely for something more important: vision.

I spoke with four professional women in their forties, all of whom had voted in previous elections. Interestingly, each said this was the first time they intentionally listened to the Speech from the Throne. Why? They wanted to understand the direction of the country and whether the government’s plans reflected the realities of modern life.

When asked their impressions of the government’s agenda, their responses were telling: “modern,” “progressive,” “relatable,” and “forward-thinking.” One remarked, “This agenda is focused on year six and beyond, not just year one.” Another noted that the government appeared to understand the pressures families, businesses, and working people are facing in a rapidly changing world.

That observation matters.

The Bahamian electorate is changing. Citizens are no longer driven solely by party loyalty or tradition. More people are educated, globally exposed, and paying closer attention to governance itself. They expect policies that prepare the country for challenges such as crime, healthcare, immigration, economic opportunity, energy reform, artificial intelligence, climate change, and public sector modernization.

What stood out most to me was the recognition that these issues are connected to everyday life. The agenda acknowledged the struggles of small businesses, the concerns of an aging population, the urgent need to feed ourselves, reform in multiple areas that affect working people, the importance of Grand Bahama and the Family Islands, the dignity of working Bahamians, and the need to modernize education and the electoral system.

Nation building cannot rest on government alone. Right-thinking Bahamians must also commit themselves to the work ahead. If these goals become national benchmarks rather than political slogans, then every citizen, professional, entrepreneur, public servant, and young person has a role to play in helping The Bahamas thrive in an increasingly competitive global world.

Letters to the editor

Michael Pintard Miscalculated

05/24/26 11:08 AM

– FELIX SANDS WRITES FROM FREEPORT

In the run up to the May 12th, 2026 general elections, FNM Leader, Michael Pintard  wrongly calculated that he would win the General elections by default;  the Bahamian people usually changed the government every 5 years for the past 25 years . His dogmatic approach in choice of candidates was uncompromising and self-serving instead of building capacity with a competent team ready to govern on day one; instead, he chose novices.  Finally, he did not remember the patriotic principal:  politics ends at the border, or the high watermark .  There is only One Bahamas.

The FNM is comprised of three groupings: the Oligarchs who fund the party; Wallace Whitfield’s faction; and, to the lesser extent the Ingramites who are the outside children that were never fully accepted into the family but tolerated in order to win government.  Together, they form the FNM coalition.
Mr. Pintard somehow became estranged from his reliable financial base, the oligarchs; it was whispered that he had found new backers like the Port Authority and Foreign outside money backers that never materialized.  This was reason his campaign was dead before it started.
In summer 2025, it was an open Secret in the city of Nassau that the Davis Administration, by early fall of 2025, would be rocked by allegations of corruption, and indictments would follow at the highest level.  This was supposed to be the tipping point for the scales in favor of the FNM. On the basis of those beliefs, the FNM did not do the tedious work of putting together a proper road map for the future in a Manifesto.  Instead, they began a relentless campaign of throwing mud up against the wall and making numerous allegations of corruption against the PLP.   The Bahamian people was not fooled!   If the PLP was in fact the devil, they were not prepared to trade the devil for the lesser Imps which they perceive the unpatriotic FNM to be.  Therefore, the FNM lost badly.

On the island of Grand Bahama, the PLP received a total of 8,955 votes cast on Election Day; the FNM received 8,969 votes cast, a difference of 14 votes.  The political base of the  FNM  evaporated because of their stance with the Grand Bahama Port Authority.

Finally, Mr.Pintard got one thing right in this political cycle, he solidified his base inside the party structure and, therefore, cannot be moved as party leader until he is ready to leave on his own terms.  He will no doubt recalibrate, learn from his mistakes, and prepare to fight again
