Thoughts on bail and crime

The Commissioner of Police has once again complained that the courts must take a look at the issue of the granting of bail to persons who are accused of committing serious crimes.

Administer justice now

What I try to do nightly is to find the time to watch the Bahamas’ evening news, because you know, just so much going on in the country, rather on New Providence Island.

NIB hike will be detrimental

As we watch the Laffer curve effect make its way into our economic system, there is one economic behaviour shared amongst politician’s past, present and aspiring is this PUBLIC CHOICE THEORY (how elected officials, bureaucrats and other government agents can be influenced by their own perceived self-interest when making decisions in their government portfolios).

Don’t blame Junkanoo for empty pews

I have read remarks in the media about President of the Bahamas National Baptist Missionary and Educational Convention, Rev Philip McPhee – concerning Junkanoo and its impact on watch night church services in the capital.

Search for solutions on crime

The brand-new year 2024 rolled in, fireworks barely subsided, and the country is seething with a high volume of senseless murders. There has been one murder a day. One murder is one too many.

No one is safe unless everyone is

No one is safe, unless everyone is safe. Ten lives have been lost to senseless bloodshed during the first 11 days of 2024, leaving families mourning for their loved ones.

Pride and progress for Abaco?

It doesn’t take a village; it takes a country.

It has often been said that ‘Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad’.

Junkanoo integrity in question

Kindly allow me space in your valuable columns to express an opinion as to why I believe the integrity of junkanoo is compromised.

Concerned with Mount Tabor pulpit

As I approach my 70th birthday this week, a milestone I greet with both gratitude and reflection, I find myself compelled to write to your publication for only the fifth time in my life. My words today are born not out of joy, but out of a deep sense of disappointment and concern for a community that has been an integral part of my life for over two decades – the Mount Tabor Church.

Time for govt to act on crime

I would like to say Happy New Year to every Bahamian across our archipelago and across the world. I hope that this letter reaches you all in good spirits.

Brave, true words at Lyford Cay

Having seen excerpts from the Prime Minister’s speech at Lyford Cay last week, I am left with the hope that we may finally have a government that understands the basic interests of The Bahamas and Bahamians for the first time since that of Lynden Pindling.

Pope is not follower of Jesus Christ

During the week of Christmas a prominent Baptist YouTuber uploaded a video on YouTube in which he criticised Pope Francis for a controversial and heretical statement made during his Christmas Day address at the Vatican.

Are we really the best little nation?

Over Christmas we heard again the saying ‘We, The Bahamas, is the best little country in the world’!
