On Wednesday 15 October 2020, the Leader of the Progressive Liberal Party Philip Davis appeared one on one with Clint Watson on Beyond The Headlines.  The programme was a one hour tour de force of the life, work and times of Philip Davis and what we can expect from him in the government. This is a fitting pushback on all the propaganda about Mr. Davis about his work as an attorney, the lie about his inability to travel to the United States and the fact that he is a totally different man from Perry Christie. The Christie era is over

Navigating through the Lynden Pindling International Airport to travel to another island in The Bahamas is a nightmare. Can you imagine in this year of our lord 2020, the common era as some say, we have to now fill out elaborate paper work; you now have to get a visa to travel from one island to the next within the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. It gets worse than that. They also now require that you, a Bahamian citizen, must get a  negative test for Covid before they will allow you to get back into the country. Imagine that. Bahamian citizenship

When looking at the reports of the news that that U S President Donald Trump was Covid positive, we all thought “ good for his ass”.  We told you so.  In The Bahamas, we would say: “you too stupid”.  But when you watch the coverage in the U S media there is this false equivalence; one supposed that they are trying to be even handed, even though the man is so antagonistic and unfair to them. Joe Biden for example who is running for President and was interrupted rudely time after time by the imp in the White House  offered

During the past week, there was a letter circulating on line and in what’s app groups which purported to be from one of the aspirants for candidacy for the PLP in the next general election.  No one knows whether the letter was genuine or not but that did not stop the FNM sites from leaping on the letter as evidence that there was something nefarious or amiss about the selection process for candidates for the PLP. The FNM was also promoting the fact that they had the PLP scrambling or so they said, to think that the Prime Minister Hubert

The late Ena Hepburn, the mother of Athama Bowe, the retired tourism executive used to say: “ You can’t put a goat on a board floor, it will prance.”  It is another way of saying that no matter what you do with some people, no matter what office they get or what station in life they rise to, if they are simply crude and not fit for purpose, then they simply are. That is the conclusion that many have now come to with regard to the Prime Minister Hubert Minnis.  The monks who taught him at St Augustine’s must be

The Prime Minister Hubert Minnis, wife and grandson are in Abaco this weekend. The reports are that he joined several ministers of the Government up there. The Prime Minister went to Grand Bahama earlier in the week to make an announcement that counteracted what the PLP Chairman was doing in Grand Bahama the week before. The Prime Minister is in campaign mode. The rules say you must quarantine when you go to these islands from New Providence. Do these ministers and the Prime Minister do so? Certainly there was no evidence that the Prime Minister did so in Grand Bahama. 

If ever a time the phrase from the poem The Second Coming “: things fall apart” can be used  for The Bahamas, it is now.  This is like the situation where the dyke keeps springing holes and pretty soon the Government of Hubert Minnis is going to run out of fingers to plug those holes. The rules of the anti Covid regime in the state of national public emergency are so arcane that even the most practiced lawyer cannot understand them or appreciate them. The public officials seem to be in a state of national confusion. The borders of the
