Hubert Minnis, the Prime Minister, became the laughing stock of the country on Thursday 2 November when he announced that he would be giving all MPs a raise in pay come next budget year. This was a significant climb down from the position that he took as leader of the FNM in 2014 when the […]

FNM WRITER TURNS ON MINNIS AND HIS PAY RAISE
The following was posted on 4 November and is attributed to the former FNM amanuensis. We do not give attribution because we are unable to confirm that it is her. But the comment is valuable all the same. Life is interesting: 10 REASONS AN ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RAISES FOR MPs IS A SLAP IN OUR FACE […]
PLP CHAIRMAN ON CANDIA DAMES
Statement By Senator Fred Mitchell Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party On Response To The National Review For Immediate Release 1 November 2017 I continue to be amazed at the nastiness and low life journalism of Candia Dames and the Nassau Guardian. What a nasty, filthy comment she made this morning. It is no wonder […]

Statement from Office Of The Chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party For Immediate Release Comment On Labour Dismissals In The Country 1 November 2017 The PLP raises a concern about the alarming number of reports of dismissals or threats of dismissals of workers in the country.

PETER TURNQUEST MISLED THE HOUSE
That was how the Minister of Finance Peter Turnquest tried to weasel out of his misleading accusation against the PLP first that some of the money (42 million dollars) for hurricane relief had been lost or stolen or was somehow misappropriated. Then he said he wasn’t saying that, he was saying it could not be […]
MINNIS’ DOUBLE TALK ON SIR BALTRON BETHEL
Sir Baltron Bethel, the former Senior Policy Advisor to the last Prime Minister has been much maligned by friend and foe alike. The PLPs said he was too old and should not be working. The FNM said the same thing and said he was being paid too much. The election is gone six months now. […]
DARRON CASH FORMER FNM CHAIR ON MINNIS
Posted 4 November If I did not know better I would have sworn I was being punked. The news is simply unbelievable. Old people say that when you make your bed up hard you have to sleep in it hard. When a new government is striving to distinguish itself from its predecessors in office, a […]
We Are Watching Zhivargo Laing Pivot?
It has been slow and imperceptible. First a renunciation of politics and public life. The column in the Nassau Guardian told us. Then a radio talk show. Then his family said they would not support Dr. Hubert Minnis before the general election… Then he said that life for a politician was not a thankful one […]

Cry Baby Romi—Minister Of Environment
We had a good laugh at Romi Ferreira who is the Minister of the Environment. What with all the rumours of him and rehab and his predilection for sitting at Bars in Fox Hill, it must be a pretty sorry state. It took him too weeks to take notice of the potential oil spill down […]
Allyson Gibson Q C Answers Michael Foulkes MP
The news is that Michael Foulkes MP was disbarred in the state of Florida for issues relating to services to clients. He has never answered those allegations in the public domain, neither had the Prime Minister. Yet Mr. Foulkes stood up in the House of Assembly on Wednesday 1 November to accuse the former Attorney […]
Candia: Delilah and Jezebel
The Bible is a pretty well written book. It’s extraordinary for a text written thousands of years ago how they got it right in so many ways. Just examine the Book’s stories on two women characters in the Bible Delilah and Jezebel. When you read stories written by Candia Dames of the Nassau Guardian, you […]
Candia Dames’ Petty Brother Marvin Pushed Out Greenslade
Life is really a mirage or illusion in The Bahamas. People are to piss on us and we are to call it rain. That is how you see the elaborate dance that is being played on the public stage with the passage of the Commissioner of Police from the role of chief crime fighter to […]
Congratulations To The New Commissioner of Police
Anthony Ferguson is a cop in the old school. No fancy bells and whistles there, just good old fashioned policing, of Exuma stock. We congratulate him. Chester Cooper, the MP for Exuma and Ragged Island was there on 30 October to say congratulations on behalf of his constituents and so was Philip Davis, the Leader […]
Chester Cooper MP Says Congratulations
Minnis Just Doesn’t Know What To Say
At the official hand over to the new Commissioner of Police Anthony Ferguson on Monday 30th November, the Governor General Dame Marguerite and widow of the founding Prime Minister Sir Lynden Pindling, were all seated with the public officials. Everything was national in character, going swimmingly well. Then the nation’s Prime Minister Hubert Minnis got […]
The Preacher Who Runs Foreign Affairs
Darren Henfield is the Minister of Foreign Affairs shown in his brown suit. He was almost the Senior Pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church in South Beach. He gave that up to go into politics. He is now a hatchet man. He has fired everyone connected or suspected to be connected with Fred Mitchell or […]
Is The Government Trying To Bribe Greenslade?
Offering an advantage is a criminal offence in our law. This is a fancy expression for bribing someone. This is a scenario that we want you to consider. The Bahamas Government and the Minister of National Security wanted Ellison Greenslade gone as Commissioner of Police. They promised him the job as High Commissioner to the […]
D’Aguilar Is Lost In Space
The Minister of Tourism Dionysio D’Aguilar has been getting himself deeper and deeper into trouble. It is time for the Prime Minister to remove him from all matters having to do with Bahamar. He is hopelessly conflicted. The facts are that he is a former Director of the company that owned Bahamar when the failed […]
Freeport Dead In The Day And In The Night
The straw vendor said she talked to the Prime Minister Hubert Minnis when he came to Freeport on his walkabout at Port Lucaya. She explained what she explained to this correspondent about her day. The day she spoke on Friday 3rd November, she had been sitting there all day from morning and had not made […]
