Requests for repairs unanswered

There is something that having the environment around you, especially the derelict and rundown state of anything can and does to the human psychic, which in the least is not encouraging and even Father God has a major problem with this kind of tolerance.

Spin, spin, spin

One thing with the Davis Administration they are good at spinning events and so-called political interventions – the redundancies at Freeport Container, a perfect example.

Whitewashing Majority Rule

Recently, I listened attentively as a 5th grade student gave the meaning of the colours in the Bahamian flag. She said that the black in the flag stands for the strength of the Bahamian people. I was surprised by this. When I attended school during the tumultuous 1980s, we were told by our teachers that the black stood for Black Bahamians. Nothing in the flag represents the White minority.

Whose business is this?

Recently the print media has been reporting, albeit anonymously, divorce/family proceedings held in the Supreme Court. Such reporting appears to be novel as over the years one rarely expected to read about proceedings held in the family division of the Supreme Court.

Pindling name fades in the PLP

I wasn’t surprised that Dame Marguerite Pindling took the opportunity on Majority Rule Day to publicly upbraid executives of the Progressive Liberal Party for the perceived wrong done to her late husband’s name.

Waiting for RBC

Calling if not the leading commercial bank one is told calling their Client Service there might be a delay – what is a reasonable delay I have to ask?

Nothing is changing over NIB

On this Majority Rule Day, I think of things relating to the “true true” meaning of the word ‘majority’ particularly after reading a newspaper article that yet again references another immediate call for action relative to the looming depletion of the National Insurance Board (NIB) funds in a mere few years, whilst da gubment dem ain taking “the lazy way out” but are “being creative and finding additional ways” to mitigate any depletion - whatever that might mean!

Davis taxation

This is an Open Letter to Prime Minister Davis on Bahamian Suffering:

Warning on crime

I had written several Letters to the Editor in 2022 in The Tribune newspaper giving great recommendations and suggestions to deter gangs, reduce guns and prevent crime in the Bahamas.

Embassy on COVID in China

OVER the past three years of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Chinese government has put people first, prioritised saving lives, and has taken a science-based and targeted approach in its pandemic response.

Modus operandi

Would someone please tell Financial Secretary Simon Wilson that it is easier to catch flies with honey than with vinegar. And maybe he could send a less aggressive photo of himself to The Tribune for any further utterances he might be making.

A Junkanoo Festival

If there is one thing the recent Junkanoo parades have demonstrated to us is that they are too long. Beautiful, spectacular, but long. Twelve and thirteen hours for one event is too arduous for both the Junkanoo groups and the public who come to enjoy the spectacle that is Junkanoo and to cheer on their favourite group.

Show faith in police

The Bahamas government, Bahamian and residents must find ways to demonstrate their faith in the performance of our Law Enforcement Agencies, in particular the Royal Bahamas Police Force.

Lives of service

The Bahamas is a great little nation despite the challenges and obstacles which confront us every so often. 2022 was a good year for many and I, for one, thank the Lord Jesus Christ for having assisted our people with successfully emerging into 2023. Some of us did not, unfortunately, make it through. Many of us did, however, and as a people and individuals we must now put our shoulders to the wheel and develop ourselves on a personal level and the nation collectively. We have any number of distinct role models.

Priority projects must be rolled out

In short order, 2022 would have rolled out and many of us will be greeting 2023 with great expectations and open arms, as we should.

Banking problems

One has to take what the Central Bank and the Commercial Banks tell us with a pinch of salt I think.

Age and climate change - the real time machine

AGE/AGEING is the real time machine, created by God Himself and not by man’s ingenuity. Like climate change, to which I am a recent and reluctant adherent, age and aging are real phenomena.

Stop borrowing and start taxing

Bahamian governments have borrowed literally billions of dollars in the last few years. This money will be paid back by the poor, at whose expense wealthy individuals and corporations will also continue to live essentially tax free. That is the outrageous reality of Bahamian fiscal governance.

FTX email response

This letter to the Editor refers to the Editorial published in The Tribune of an email from Sam Berkman-Friedman, CEO of FTX, asking Attorney General Ryan Pinder of the Bahamas permission to liquidate assets held by Bahamians or residents of the Bahamas. He further tells Attorney General Ryan Pinder that if he does not get a response he is going to do it anyway and the amount mentioned is $100,000,000.

A child in the cold

The birth of a child has been most dear to me, and I see no difference between each light of joy, Jesus or any other.

Unfair on Bay Street businesses

Erecting bleachers on Bay Street two weeks before Junkanoo parades is a heartless blow to Bay Street merchants. We have to find a better way. The fourth quarter in the retail cycle of most businesses worldwide is critical to their profitability. I must assume that it’s the same for Bay Street owners and sales clerks.

LETTER: Ride out your storm

Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leaves you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing and listen as heaven whispers, “Do you like it? I did it just for you.”

LETTER: If He had not died

Many people are bent out of shape over the true meaning of Christmas. Some say that it represents a pagan season. Others say that the birth, death and resurrection of The Lord Jesus Christ are merely mumbo-jumbo. Yet, a few more alleged that Christmas is representative of “the day of the Sun“. If any of the foregoing is true or false really means nothing to me one way or the other. The facts are the facts.

LETTER: Pop Band is unfair competition

I am a Grand Bahamian singer, song writer, musician, entertainer, artist manager, record producer, former collective bargaining agency leader and a concerned citizen.

LETTER: Keeping children safe

While the holidays are a joyful time of the year for many of us, however, this is also the time of the year when a child is more vulnerable, and at an increased risk of being abused.
