Why are there deposit limits on international bank cards here?
GREETINGS and oh boy every day it is something else challenged by, but you know it is all good. I just have a query for the probing minds and power that be.
GBPA has not made GB better
IT IS disheartening and downright selfish for a foreign company that has been operating in the Bahamas from about 1955, and with nothing to show how it has improve the lives of Grand Bahamians, or its economy, to still want to stay hogging up all the profits, as its monopoly has become strained over decades, leaving many Bahamians to wonder about what percentages of its revenues were being exported to Europe, and now by the minute?
Who benefits from Ukraine proxy war
RECENT weeks have seen calls by the French President for “European troops” to directly join the conflict in Ukraine, a declaration by US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin that a Russian victory will lead to a direct Russia/NATO war and revelations that German generals have been complicit in planning terrorist attacks inside Russia.
Crime is not out of control
HERE in our wonderful nation a lot of people are up in arms, pardon the pun, over crime and the fear of crime. Basically, despite the perception, crime is NOT out of control. Yes, there are challenges but nothing insurmountable, in my considered view.
A year later, how is egg programme?
TOWARDS the end of last year l asked the question: What is happening with the big time expensive PR promised/ plenty talk and fanfare openings of the $15m Golden Yolk Programme throughout our Family of Islands?
Haiti a failed state since start
EVER since, if not before, it successfully declared its independence in 1804 following her defeat of a contingent of the Napoleonic army, Haiti has been and remains to this very day, the classical case of a ‘failed state’.
Obeah not a cultural norm here
Junkanoo in Paradise: Having seen the subject musical, I would surmise that the naming convention of this Bahamian production is not quite appropriate.
Pledge must be more than words
JUST a little while ago, I came across a lil video clip which took a deeper look at the Pledge of Allegiance in the USA. It was a rather unorthodox look at those patriotic words, and it spurred on thoughts of look-ing at our national ideals in an out-of-the-box way. It makes a world of a difference when words have meaning.
Nation building begins with our children
I WOULD like to share my experience with you and the public about a conversation I had with one of the top inspectors at Physical Planning.
Physical Planning not helpful

Corporal punishment is not abuse
I must respond to the letter entitled "Physical Punishment is no Answer".
Bahamas must turn and repent
This is a somewhat different version from the usual and laden with a series of promises by the Almighty God for the citizenry of The Bahamas, if they fail to repent and be returned to Father God, a message that I have no choice in delivering.
Critique of Laroda clarified
IN A government that boasts of progress and proactive governance, Myles Laroda’s tenure as Minister stands out, but for all the wrong reasons.
Biden has been bad for Bahamas
A COLLEAGUE of mine told me that his aunt, who has been residing in New York since the early 1980s, complained bitterly to him about the soaring costs of food in her area.
Laroda so far is ineffective
