Inhumanity of separating children
I am a Bahamian who swore that because I am not American I would have nothing to say – pro or con – about US president Donald Trump.
Barbados govt theft?
An article, Banks Facing Billion Dollar Hit, in Barbados was making the rounds on Social Media this past weekend and it is an example of theft by government. No more, no less.

I had decided to stop writing letters but after watching the local news tonight I am so disgusted that something has to be said.

Feeling unsafe

Bahamian hypocrisy
THE amount of outright hypocrisy and double standards that exists in this country we call the Commonwealth of The Bahamas is truly astonishing.
Silence on renewables
Remember pre-election, hard mouthed the FNM were, on renewable energy especially solar? Where is it today? Silent as a house mouse.
Where is the BNT?

Where’s the money going?

My right to spend
IN 2013, my wife and I were at odds about the Gambling Referendum, but we agreed on one thing — it is Bahamians’ right to spend their money however they felt. I believed then, as I believe now, that gambling is a past time.
