Unity in face of adversity

I am constrained to admit that apart from loving black cherry ice cream, I just love and, most of the times, respect my people of The Bahamas.

Freeport is snakebitten

GRAND Bahamians weren’t surprised to learn from Lucayan Renewal Holdings Limited that the Electra America Hospitality Ltd deal to purchase the Grand Lucayan Resort had fallen through. After repeated delays to get this deal done, it became apparent that nothing would materialise.

It is firearm possession, Minister

It is commendable that, in his search for answers to our vexing crime problem, Minister Wayne Munroe would allude to the complexities involved in sentencing and would point out, rightly, that, contrary to the opinions of some, we actually have comparatively stiff sentencing for a variety of offences.

Zero logic on electric vehicles

So lowering the Duty and the costs to land electric vehicles was a priority in these times when Treasury needs all the money they can find?

Journalists in fear

It is horrible that journalists in Zimbabwe are living lives of fear.

Davis is a strong negotiator

It was written by an ancient Roman philosopher hundreds of years ago: 'Ut Ameris Amabillis Estol' which translates into: 'If you wish to be loved, you must be lovable'. This quote aptly describes our esteemed and world respected Prime Minister, the Most Hon Philip 'Brave' Davis, MP, KT. Some hold the bogus concept that leaders who are 'feared' as opposed to 'loved' have a better rapport with their citizens. I beg to differ.

Corporal punishment

“Corporal punishment is not abuse”, says Bishop. The Tribune featured a story, “Corporal punishment is not abuse” says Bishop. Where is the Tribune trying to lead us? The newspaper presents some strong statistics, such as 90% of Bahamians identify as being Christians. From a social point of view, it seems we are truly failing as a nation.

Beyonce’s blasphemy

BISHOP Patrick L Wooden of the Upper Room Church of God in Christ in Raleigh, North Carolina has taken grave exception to Beyoncé Knowles-Carter’s “Denial” poem. The poem was penned by a British poet of Somali extraction, Warsan Shire, and is featured in the Beyoncé 2016 “Lemonade” album as a prelude to the second tract “Hold Up.”

Two questions for our leaders

I just want to send two questions to Prime Minister Philip Davis, Minister Keith Bell and Minister Michael Halkitis.

Stop playing victim over climate change

Until I read the letter in Tuesday’s column written by one Porcupine, I was beginning to think that I was alone in being both embarrassed and amused by Rochelle Newbold, our government’s special advisor on climate change, “calling out” (ie begging) “developed countries” (ie white ones) for their supposedly lopsided contribution to global warming.

We live in a crazy world

I used to play cowboys and Indians as a child, and dressed up as a highlander, corporal in the Canadian Forces (went to Army Surplus Store), a Sufi in dress, and a British gentleman with bowler hat and all. Cultural appropriation, eh?

Delay over public service jitney buses

I have been relying on the service of the jitney for the better part of 15 years and I must admit that there were many days that I feared for my life just riding on those buses.

Bosses already scheming around minimum wage

I would like to thank Prime Minister Philip Brave Davis for increasing the minimum wage from $210 to $260. This is something that the Free National Movement should’ve done after increasing VAT from 7.5 percent to 12 percent. In an age of inflation and VAT on breadbasket items, the extra $50 is a much-needed help.

The terrible truth about marital rape

First of all, rape is not about sex. Sex has little to do with it; sex becomes the weapon, the vehicle to accomplish the desired result, which is to harm, control, embarrass, and humiliate the spouse.

And how are we biting the bullet?

According to The Tribune, government official Rochelle Newbold spoke at the Rotary Club, echoing the PM’s proclamations regarding climate change.

Injustice that affects Bahamians

Countless Bahamians are being and have been left behind due to societal and economic discrimination, across the political divide and economic diaspora.

Good riddance to a bad Act

Government is to be commended for its decision to repeal the Commercial Enterprises Act, an egregious piece of legislation passed by its predecessor.

Crime wave by Haitian shamans

I believe the case can be made that certain officials danced around the issue of law enforcement officers being assigned to the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) nearly a month ago.

Bermuda trip

A whole bunch of otherwise idle people with nothing better to do, have been getting all bent out of shape because of alleged expenses which may have accrued as a result of a delegation led by the Prime Minister over to Bermuda recently. It seems that some of these same people are questioning whether or not the administration or the political party, the PLP, paid in full or in part for that journey and abode.

Bishop is not the right choice

As a devout Christian and a man of deep faith, with no political affiliations or agenda, I have been sickened by the repeated innuendos that our honourable prime minister may in fact be considering a bishop for the position of governor general.

No surprises from the FNM

In a letter published in your column on the 26th October, a Mr Felix Sands laments that the Free National Movement “(chose) the wrong side on the price control issue”.

The history of cricket in The Bahamas

The purpose of this letter is to seek the assistance of those influential Bahamians, who have either played cricket, were fans or were involved to prevail on persons planning our 50th Independence Anniversary in 2023 to include cricket on the Sports Agenda.

After the voting is done

I have been surveying globally the way politicians and its leadership have been behaving and as I begin to move things around, lumping together the similarities – surprisingly, I have found a common thread - pointing generally deceitful posturing, more or less? The promises made during the campaign trails, connoting the initiatives, programmes intended to pursue on behalf of constituents, but in actuality what have we seen?

The recent successes of prosecutors

Previously we voiced our dismay about the inordinate delay in prosecuting matters and the inadequate and sometimes incomprehensible sentences given to those found guilty of committing heinous offences. We demanded that matters be prosecuted more expeditiously and we demanded sentences that are commensurate with the crimes. In recent days we have noted considerable improvement.

Will crime kill tourism economy?

As many people have expressed concern in the newspaper about the high crime robberies and murders in The Bahamas, President of the Hotel Association Robert Sands and Vice President of Baha Mar stated the government needed to urgently address the high crime rate before it impacts tourism.
