‘I, Hubert Alexander Minnis, is the leader of the Free National Movement ...” Cringe.
EDITORIAL: Time for Dr Minnis to step down

A COMIC'S VIEW: The rise and fall of Branetta
Well, it was bound to happen. In a world that has given us infamous couples like Bennifer (Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez), Brennifer (Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston) and Brangelina (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie), it was only a matter of time before we spawned our own super couple.

For the past two years or so, the Drake rejuvenated expression “what a time to be alive” has been the go-to expression on social media.
A YOUNG MAN'S VIEW: Revolt in the ranks leaves FNM in political no man’s land
In the wake of yesterday’s coup d’état within the Free National Movement (FNM), the political landscape in the Bahamas has shifted. The FNM is in a state of flux, it is in a state of alarm.
