Photo of The WeekCONFUSION INDEED: the facsimile of the National Review page of the Nassau Guardian. The Guardian even had an editorial on the same issue last week. The Tribune had its own version. The Government when it talks says that its doing a great job. Well we think not. But then again Prime Minister Hubert Minnis is a genius and we are all fools. Our photo of the week of the National Review of The Nassau Guardian describing on Wednesday 23rd October 2019, the decision to change command at the Royal Bahamas Defence Force in mid hurricane relief as a wave of confusion.

We extend condolences to the families of the 8 people who died in a plane crash on Independence Day as they flew for a pop band gig in North Andros. It is devastating for the country. This follows on the heels of the death of four people in a car crash last weekend and then a devastating fire in Bimini where four families are out of homes.
There is an appeal to rationality here. These things are not witchcraft or a curse on the country as some FNM trolls have begun to say. There are reasons they all happened and the investigations will reveal what happened.
The police already think they know what happened in the car crash. The driver has been charged with manslaughter in their deaths.
Flamingo Air, the airline that flew these folk to North Andros has had a history of bad flights and incidents and mishaps. People will rightly want to know why they were still allowed to fly passengers.
Let us await the answers. Right now we sorrow.

The Free National Movement, the major opposition party in The Bahamas, opposed independence in 1973. Fifty three years later, no one is sure that they actually support it today. Every time they open their mouths, they are supporting foreign interests against Bahamian interests. In Grand Bahama, folks looked around and thought that no one from the Opposition showed up at the ecumenical service for the country. The thinking was that they were boycotting events. Later there was a picture of the Leader of the Opposition Michael Pintard with his charming wife Berlice with their daughter in Bahamian gear at a public function. So maybe there is hope for them.
Down in St Lucia, the struggle for the deeper relationship of the dependent territories of Britain, the Netherlands and France, with CARICOM continued in the 51st regular meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government, chaired by Philippe Pierre, Prime Minister of St Lucia from 4 to 8th July 2026. There is resistance for granting full membership to Bermuda, British Virgin Islands and Turks and Caicos Islands because they are not yet independent. The lawyers are jumping through hoops and saying that what these territories want is inconsistent with the provisions of the treaty, its meaning and intent. Lawyers of course can write anything you ask them to write and interpret how they want or you direct them so you should not depend on them for an opinion on what is a political decision. The CARICOM countries independent as they are have an obligation to move the independence project along, and deepening the relationship with CARICOM for full membership for those three territories is the next step in the process. It should be done without regard to sophistry and artificial constructs and hindrances.
There was a Defence Minister’s conference taking place last week for the hemisphere in Peru. All the countries of the hemisphere and the Caribbean sub region were there, and the question was what would the declaration be in the end document? Everything was fine except when the US intervened they wanted this paragraph taken out: “The recognition of the fundamental role and men and women in international peace and security and the importance of women’s full, equal and meaningful participation in defence institutions and decision-making processes, including through the peace and security guided by United Nations Resolution 1325 (2000) and its subsequent resolutions, in accordance within national policies and frameworks”. Totally innocuous but the U S insisted that it go and the conference capitulated. These are interesting times.
The Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago Kamla Persad Bissessar came to the CARICOM conference of Heads of Government armed with a 22 page letter laying out the case for disappointing the able Secretary General Carla Barnett. The Trinidadians have a bee in their bonnet about the SG for a matter that she had no say over and it has turned personal. While they have dressed it up in legalese, they simply don’t like the woman and accuse her of things that she had nothing to do with. That didn’t stop the Heads from capitulating to the wishes of Trinidad and Tobago for peace sake. They have agreed to have the matter of reappointment of Carla Barnett referred to the CCJ, the court that settles disputes on the treaty that governs CARICOM. What a complete waste of time and money.
Prime Minister Philip Davis led the delegation of The Bahamas to the Heads of Government conference of CARICOM leaders in Gros Islet, St Lucia from 4 July 2026 to 8 July 2026. The following statement as issued by the Prime Minister summer up his time in St Lucia:
As the 51st Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of CARICOM comes to a close, I thank the Government and people of Saint Lucia for their hospitality and for the care with which they hosted our Community.
This meeting gave us an opportunity to address the issues that matter most to our people: climate change, climate finance, regional security, Haiti, Cuba, economic resilience, and the future direction of CARICOM.
For The Bahamas, my focus was clear. I came to Saint Lucia to advance the interests of the Bahamian people and to ensure that our country’s voice is heard on the matters that affect our homes, our borders, our economy, and our future.
On climate change, I made the case that small island states need finance that matches the reality we face. We cannot continue to carry the cost of stronger storms, rising seas, and repeated recovery on financing terms designed for countries that do not face our level of risk. The Bahamas will continue to press for fairer access to climate finance, stronger disaster-risk protection, and practical tools that help countries recover faster when crisis comes.
I also updated my colleagues on The Bahamas’ role as a country partner in the Sustainable Markets Initiative’s work on private capital mobilisation. This is about getting governments, development banks, and private financial institutions to work together on real projects, with real financing, that can help countries like ours build resilience and protect our people.
Ahead of COP, I also supported a stronger CARICOM approach to climate negotiations. The Caribbean must be clear about its own priorities. We value the platforms through which small island states work together, but Caribbean concerns must be placed clearly and firmly on the table.
On security, I reminded colleagues that The Bahamas is a frontline maritime state. Our geography is a blessing, but it also places us along routes used by traffickers and criminal networks. We must continue to strengthen intelligence sharing, maritime cooperation, border security, financial investigations, cyber readiness, and joint training across the region.
The security of The Bahamas is tied to the security of the Caribbean. No country can meet these threats alone.
On Haiti, I reaffirmed that the stability of Haiti remains central to the stability of our region. The Haitian people deserve peace, security, and the opportunity to rebuild their institutions. The Bahamas will continue to support responsible regional and international efforts that help restore order, provide humanitarian relief, and respect Haitian sovereignty.
We also discussed the situation in Cuba. The Bahamas supports continued dialogue, respect for sovereignty, and practical cooperation with Cuba in areas such as health, education, disaster response, and technical assistance. We remain concerned about the hardship facing ordinary Cuban people and support efforts that ease that burden.
I also reported on The Bahamas’ engagement with CARICOM’s Associate Members and Overseas Territories. We support their fuller participation in the work of the Community, including the membership pathways being pursued by Bermuda, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the British Virgin Islands. CARICOM is stronger when every part of the Caribbean family has a meaningful place at the table.
I leave Saint Lucia clear about the work ahead. Our region faces serious challenges, but we also have the ability to act together with discipline and purpose.
The Bahamas will continue to protect our people, advance our national interest, and work with our Caribbean partners to build a safer, stronger, and more resilient region.
The last time the PLP got in the FNM’s business it was to help Hubert Minnis win the race for Leader of the Opposition. Money was found to help him stave off the race against the Brent Symonette UBP faction in the party. That proved a serious mistake on the PLP’s part because when Dr. Minnis got to office he turned on the PLP with a vengeance, charging Shane Gibson, Ken Dorset and Frank Smith, all former PLP MPs with criminal offences that were a tissue of lies, all politically motivated. Now we see another opportunity. This time it’s Mad Max from Long Island, the nickname of the MP for Long Island Andre Rollins. He is on a tear to destroy Michael Pintard as Leader, even soliciting people who are to run as part of his team. If we have a choice between Rollins and Pintard, then we choose Pintard, although it’s a choice between the cretin and the fiend. The last we heard from Dr. Rollins was the run of bad luck by BPL last week and before the lights were out good, Mad Max was in the press attacking BPL and the Government. Where was Pintard in all of this?
Chairman of the PLP Fred Mitchell will be the lead speaker at the cemetery of the Catholic Church in Clarence Town to honour the founder of the Progressive Liberal Party Sir Henry Taylor who is buried there. Sir Henry served as Governor General of The Bahamas from 1988 to 1992. It is a public ceremony and will be followed by a reception at Town Meeting at Rowdy Boys Hotel in Clarence Town.
Tragedy struck Bimini on Wednesday 9 July 2026 not in the sense that there was loss of life but there was the destruction of the family quarters of five families in that island by fire. It is a usual pattern of events. Bimini is built in close quarters with wooden houses and many not up to any kind of code. When the fire broke out, the machines could not be brought in to effectively fighting the fire and so the buildings were destroyed. There needs to be some systemic address to all of these issues. This is perhaps the third or fourth fire of this kind in a decade in Bimini. This should stop happening. We have the public services signing into help but in the longer term it would be more useful to crack down on code violations and building practices and firefighting equipment than having to depend on social services.
Every Independence, I look forward to the celebrations at Clifford Park, the display of aquamarine, gold and black throughout the islands and across the world, and yes—even adding another outfit to my Independence wardrobe. But patriotism is about more than wearing our national colours. It is also about preserving the values that shaped our nation.
Years ago, I listened to an interview with former Governor General, Sir Arthur Foulkes, in which he observed that The Bahamas had lost its civility. He may have said it more than a decade ago, but his words are even more relevant today.
I often think about the Bahamas of my grandmother’s generation. She had only a fourth-grade education, but she taught me that “manners and respect will take you around the world.” It was a simple lesson, but it carried a profound truth. Respect was the foundation upon which every other value was built. When people respected themselves, they respected their neighbours, their elders, their communities, their work and their country. Every morning, my grandmother swept the yard because leaves had fallen overnight. No one paid her to do it, neither was she given any recognition for it. Keeping her surroundings clean was simply a matter of pride and respect for the place she called home.
Back then, elders were called “Auntie” and “Uncle,” even when there was no biological relationship. Neighbours shared with one another and looked out for each other’s children. Any adult could correct a child, and parents supported them because respect for elders was never questioned.
Disagreements certainly arose, but they were handled amicably. Sometimes the village priest would step in to settle the matter. Whether he was an actual priest or simply the respected voice of the community did not matter. Once the issue was resolved, life went on. There was no public name-calling, no violence, and certainly no loss of life because of a disagreement. Respect always came first.
Public servants dressed professionally, spoke properly, and carried themselves with dignity. Teachers, nurses, police officers and clergy were respected, and in return they honoured the trust placed in them. Homes, churches, beaches and even graveyards were cared for because people respected their communities.
Communities took pride in their surroundings, not because they were paid to do so, but because they understood that caring for their environment was part of caring for each other.
Work ethic mattered. Time mattered. Respect was the order of the day.
The Bahamas has made tremendous progress since 1973, and we should celebrate those achievements. But progress should never come at the expense of the values that built us. As we wave our flags this Independence, let us recommit ourselves to respect, civility, personal responsibility and pride in our communities. If we carry those values into the future, we will honour not only the nation we became in 1973, but also the generations whose character laid the foundation for the Bahamas we love today.
The Bahamas, my country, would not trade it for any other country in the world. We have come a long way in a short period of time,1973 -2026. By the Grace and Mercy of Almighty God. The quality of life for its 400,000-citizenry is unmatched. From Abaco in the North to Inagua in the south.
Winston Churchill was quoted as saying “Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time”..… The Bahamas in recent times system of government has been under attack: Both from inside our walls by a grouping of malcontents masquerading as social media influencers; attacking the very institutions that have brought us thus far, inclusive of attacking the Governor General, Prime Ministers, Parliamentarians, and the Judiciary; these small groups of malcontents labor under the delusion of self-hatred, and that black people can’t run anything with in our Gates. Sadly, the tearing down of these institutions leaves a vacuum for Anarchy in its wake to fill. We only need look South to Haiti and see what Anarchy looks like. Secondly, we have the attack from the Neo colonialist superpower such as the OECD, and alike, imposing its will on a defenseless people, so as to have their way with a sovereign people using the weight of blacklisting and sanctions. To be clear, Independence for The Bahamas is not about PLP or FNM leading a government; but instead, it is about a Sovereign people with a right of self determination and going in the direction that the people dictate. In matters of sovereignty, this country is stronger when there is no division on matters of sovereignty, that is, the “truth” must be our foundational principle. Finally, may the forces of Darkness who would undermine our institutions be scattered. Happy 53rd Independence Bahamas! We pray God’s blessings over these ‘Isles Of June’.
We gathered outside the Anglican Church in Duncan Town, Ragged Is to mark.the 53rd anniversary of the country’s Independence. I joined the MP for Ragged Island Chester Cooper.
From Ragged Is to the Rolle Town Festival in Exuma where I met former President of the Senate Kay Forbes Smith, her daughter Keith, and Chief Councilor Glen Davis, my friend Charlie and the head of the Commonage Committee of Rolle Town, Ken Strachan. Mrs Forbes Smith were with her sisters and she explained that her father was born in Rolle Town.
After breakfast on Independence 53 morning in Moss Town in Exuma at Kermit’s Lounge with Fox Hillians Sonia Kemp and Carl Kemp. The Kemps said the food passed the test. Happy anniversary The Bahamas.
Honouring the citizens of Exuma with their MP Chester Cooper on the 53rd anniversary of independence for The Bahamas on Regatta Park in Georgetown, Exuma
It’s the eve of our 53rd anniversary of independence from the United Kingdom. What better place to be than in Exuma with my good friend Granville Ferguson who owns the company Airport Rent A Car. I posed with Mr Ferguson and his beautiful staff to mark the occasion. Happy independence Bahamas!
