You're not including the people

I watched the Prime Minister last evening…an interesting address badly put together, but we expect that of OPM Communications who seem to constantly have a failing grade.

The petrodollar is a system where oil is sold in United States dollars exclusively.

Pay up or feel the wrath

So some of the Web Shops are not compliant (have not paid) the required licence fees/taxes…big deal Minister…simply issue a judicial warrant on the offending businesses and seize their assets and, of course, immediately close them down not to open til every dime is paid…

It's a question of tenders

All procurement tenders or RFP’s are controlled by the Financial Secretary - whoever holds that position sits as Chair of the Tenders Board. Tenders Board overseas all tenders of Government.

Not the First Lady

Before this gets out of hand - empathically the wife of the Most Honourable Dr Hubert A Minnis is not the “First Lady” nor is she a holder of the title - “Lady”.

Erase this yes, sir, boss mentality

What is WTO? It is the World Trade Organization comprised of some very large countries and organisations controlling the economies of smaller countries. Is that not colonisation?

Play us straight, sir

Finance Minister Peter Turnquest acknowledges some difficulty in collecting Gaming Taxes from the Number Houses. I support the government in its effort to collect any and all legitimate taxes.

PLP hypocrites

What hypocrites these PLPs are!

D+ max for FNM

Pre-May, 2017 we heard such pious words and promises - every second allegation against the then government so now two years in I wish to sum up my report so far for the FNM. A max grade of “D plus”.

Evil always prospers

Kindly indulge my compulsion to respond to Bishop Simeon Hall’s clarion call to pray for 30 days without murder.

Relays were no loss

This weekend if the decision of the past was maintained Nassau would have had the IAAF relays, but fortunately this time it went to Japan.

When illegals can be a bonus

There are few subjects that evoke as much emotion as that of immigration in Bahamian society. I would like to focus on illegal immigration.
