We do so now. This is because it seems to us that President Joe Biden has not learned one of the lessons […]

The column of last week quoting friends of Hubert Ingraham and his decision to oppose Brave Davis in the next election, excited an immediate response for one of the spokesmen for Mr. Ingraham, in the secret place of the almighty.

The DPP has filed charges against two policemen for stealing money alleged to have come from an armed robbery.

We congratulate the Utilities Regulation Competition Authority for seeking to injunct the Grand Bahama Port Authority from reviewing any applications on utilities and in Grand Bahama. They have no jurisdiction to do so. The amended law on the matter is clear. The Grand Bahama Port Authority persists in their treachery. URCA has taken too long […]
For three years the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) of the United States ran an operation to entrap Bahamians in a conspiracy to import drugs and firearms through The Bahamas and into the United States.
