A sad reflection on 50 years of Majority Rule
YOUR editorial today, January 30 2018, is another very sad reflection on our fifty years of Majority Rule and Independence and National Sovereignty, and to be honest, we are very lucky that the US Embassy and/or others don’t publish a travel warning to their citizens vacationing here, that they best stay inside their rooms, lest they get hurt and have to go to this God forsaken place for medical help.
Problems at PMH
I read your editorial on PMH with great interest.

Dr Minnis' archipelago of opportunities
The experience that best prepared Dr Hubert Minnis for the job of Prime Minister just might be his stint as a businessman.
Use the lights we already have
LIGHTING up Fish Fry... easy, the Minister of Agriculture needs to speak to the Minister of Transport and allow agriculture to use the spanking brand new tall aluminium LED lights, some six-eight of which were installed at the refurbished Traffic Inspection location at Ft Charlotte.
Our nation needs real change
THE Prime Minister is to be commended for his attempt to lure Foreign Direct Investment to the Bahamas, but I have one little problem with the approach.
US crime alert
I WISH to give my feelings about that latest warning/advisory coming from the US State Dept by way of the US Embassy here in Nassau.
PM’s trip to Texas
PM to Texas: good try but the recent Trump massive Tax Bill probably killed that initiative.
Minnis and his unwise comments
The Prime Minister, God bless his soul, is not a lawyer so he may not have fully appreciated his public assurance to the so-called Cabbage Beach Protesters last year when they were arrested and charged for assorted alleged criminal offences.
