Dennis Dames declares war
As a Free National Movement (FNM) supporter since the 1970s, I am ready to cast my net on the other side. The party has been transformed in to a sweetheart political organisation – where the leaders appear to be following in the footsteps of their whore-mongering predecessors.

Behold the power of money
Three years ago, I was recruited by Island Television to host a radio/television show. I was the “darling” of the owners of that particular entity, or so I thought. Lo and behold I made certain references to the PM and a particular attorney-at-law. Within hours I was ordered to apologise to both of them. Needless to say I refused and I was summarily dismissed.

Farewell to a familiar landmark
My heart broke last week when I saw the cutting down at Town Centre Mall of the historic silk cotton tree that was once the glorious attraction to what was many years ago the “silk worm farm.” I don’t know how old the tree was because even then it was pretty ancient, and today — although myself a small child when it was in its glory, am also pretty ancient — so I know the tree was there long before I was even born – that’s a long, long time ago!

Why foreign influence and policy matter
In the US and other countries, we’ve heard about a popular word amongst political circles, simply called “Foreign Policy”. It’s usually the discussion on diplomatic, economic and military affairs with different nations and regions that are allied with your nation or are seeking to work with you on a variety of issues or open up opportunities.
We must get a grip on homicides and anger management
These are the days and nights of lamentations. Almost daily we read and hear of some unfortunate Bahamian – man, woman, boy and girl being killed in cross-fires or executed by rivals within the criminal communities. Several weeks ago an unprecedented horror unfolded on our streets.
Why home ownership in New Providence is cost prohibitive
