Neil Hartnell, the British muckraker, who runs the Business Edition of The Tribune went looking for dirt in the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) report on our country’s economic performance. He found it. The dirt was that the IMF said the Government was forecasting a .9 per cent of GDP deficit in its 2023/24 budget, but the IMF thought that a more realistic budget deficit was at 2.9 per cent. So old Neil Hartnell claimed that this blew a hole in the Government’s financial plans. Two plus two where he went to school equal five. The fact is the report praised
Pintard whose party the FNM is in disarray following his defeat at the polls in West Grand Bahama and Bimini on 22 November 2023, tried to take on Prime Minister Philip Davis when he said that he was shocked at the IMF’s report on the deficit spending of the government in their most recent country report. He claimed that the Prime Minister should not have been shocked at the information. But of course Mr. Pintard misread what the PM was talking about. The PM was saying that the IMF met with him and not once mentioned to him that they
The governor of the Florida Ron DeSantis is an idiot. This man has twice gone off in what is charitably called an unfortunate analogy. In his crazy rhetoric to defend the murderous campaign of Israel against the Palestinian people, he claimed that Israel has the right to defend itself. He said that if The Bahamas were firing rockets at Florida, the United States would flatten the place. The fact is The Bahamas has no rockets unless they are hidden on the U S base in Andros. There is no ill intent toward the US. The Bahamas spends over a billion
Last Saturday 25 November 2023, the drought ended on Harbour Island. The island, which is an enclave of the rich and famous on holidays or long vacations, was without government water from the reverse osmosis plant in Eleuthera for four days. No one sent the alarm to the government in Nassau, and the efforts of the Water and Sewerage Corporation, in the face of the resignation of its Chairman the MP for Harbour Island Sylvanus Petty, made feeble efforts to get the water back on. This was complicated by a power failure as well. The result was a huge public

This was posted by Fred Mitchell on his FB page: It was a real honour to meet Ray and Laurie Meadows who are Bahamians who live and work in Dubai. She works as a pilot for Fly Dubai. It was a pleasant surprise as we stepped off the plane in Dublin, 13.5 hours from Orlando, and be greeted by two proud Bahamians. The third proud Bahamian is Ambassador Tony Joudi, our Ambassador to the Emirates. 28 November 2023

Interestingly enough, The Tribune ran a front-page story about the allegations by someone who was taken in by an alleged Ponzi scheme foisted upon him by Ricardo Grant, the Bishop, that the FNM is trying to foist upon the people of Grand Bahama and Bimini. The man said he wanted his money back. He paid 500 to the dear Bishop and his wife. They got nothing back. He demanded and got return of 300 dollars. Now he needs his remaining two hundred dollars. Ricardo Grant said he would explain to The Tribune the whole thing but never called them back.Â
Peter Nygard, the sleaze bag, that used to have a house in Lyford Cay, is now in big trouble. Last week a Canadian court convicted him of assaulting young girls in his capture. The FNM was trying to tie this to the PLP but the Prime Minister Philip Davis said far as he knew Mr. Nygard had contacts with both political sides in The Bahamas. But may he rot in jail all the same. Meanwhile another resident of The Bahamas is going to jail. Sam Bankman Fried who was busy giving away money down in The Bahamas is convicted as
It was crazy enough that she cost the PLP hundreds of thousands of dollars that it didn’t need to spend on useless political race for Chair of the PLP. But then after the fact she comes to the PLP banquet to mark 70 years as a party and what does she do at the ball, she shows up in a red dress at a PLP banquet. These people must be living in an alternate universe, and after that salacious campaign her friends ran, what mischief could be caused by the story of with whom and how the appearance was made. But
