We need new leadership
It is relatively clear that politicians think that in order to become prime minister, one only has to remain leader of the Opposition long enough for a real or contrived scandal to hit the governing party.
Thou shalt love thy Chinese neighbour as thyself
I would like to commend the Chinese Community Association of The Bahamas for the generous food donations to the Red Cross, which will undoubtedly go a long way toward feeding many hungry Bahamian families in Nassau.
President of UB should have pension
THE revelation that the prestigious and highly responsible post of Presi- dent of the university is not pensionable is at once amazingly surprising and utterly astounding!
A poem to Duke Smith
PLEASE publish this birthday poem that I wrote for my oldest brother, Duke Bradley Smith.
Diversity and politics
THE lack of diversity in politics today is both troubling and wrong in a representative democracy.
Brave Davis in the Same Ole Place
BACK in the day the “Same Ole Place” was a popular eatery and political watering hole in Nassau. Nowadays the “Same Ole Place” appears to be emblematic of where Brave Davis has driven the “new” PLP.
Taxpayers paid the most
As we come to the final chapter, the coda or epilogue of the FNM government, one of its damning consequences has been that taxpayers have paid the most for the FNM corruption.
This is not masterful governance
A country where sub-standard governance is called masterful and excellent.
Loretta should run
I am compelled to raise a political question what if? What are the possibilities if Loretta Butler Turner had not left or moreso was excommunicated from the ranks of leadership of the FNM and had stayed in place avoiding the bad advice she was given to challenge the leadership of that party. I believe everything is based on exact divine timing. I am convinced if she were still in place, now would be the perfect timing for her to challenge the leadership and perhaps become the leader of that political entity.
Life and death
These people through Brown’s Alley/Benneby Alley, here off Kemp Road, are being allowed to ruin another evening, another Sabbath Day.
Praise for Bahamian entrepreneurs
It is refreshing to hear and read about Bahamians who are excelling in the business and professional world here in our wonderful nation. We have been so caught up in the woes of Dorian and the body blows inflicted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that often times I would wonder: ‘Where is the good news’?
Greed and double dipping
Last week, my friends came to visit me from the USA for a week of fun in The Bahamas.
Law failure
When a law enforcement officer only knows one small part of the law we are in trouble.
Follow the rules and avoid deaths
I see that government publishes a regular report on the number of Covid-19 cases throughout the 15 islands of the Bahamas.
Recalcitrant lawyers
Many years ago, I was disbarred for a gross act of malfeasance – commingling a client’s funds with my own. This is what lawyers call it but it is pure and simple the unauthorised use of a client’s money. In the real world it is called stealing, but not with the intent to deprive the client permanently of his/her funds. Lawyers do this as a matter of routine, especially when there is a slow down in the economy. I am talking about lawyers across the board, regardless of race; colour or creed.
