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.

Foulkes’ Newspeak
In his bid to mislead and manipulate the public/taxpayer Mr Foulkes, Minister of Labour says “The government plans to introduce a mechanism that ensures consumers in The Bahamas benefit from duty reductions on certain goods,…”
The truth in Trump's comments
A MOTHER with a bare foot, nappy headed child with a dirty nose would be embarrassed if one states the obvious and would want to fight if comments are made with Trump’s characteristic bluntness. But her stirred emotions do not make the comments less true.
Number houses
I supported the legalisation of numbers. I actually think all gambling should be legal for Bahamians. I do not think there should be one standard for foreigners and another for Bahamians when it comes to this.
Acting the part
HAVE you noticed that since May 10th, 2017, the majority of new appointments to senior Civil Servant positions are all “acting” and not permanent?
Roads a mess
The condition of Nassau’s roads especially after the recent heavy rains is appalling.
Hard work to give NIB easy money
This is an open letter to Ministers Brent Symonette and Dionisio d’Aguilar,
We must fix the civil service
I WRITE, this letter with consternation after an exchange yesterday with an employee at the Ministry of Tourism and Aviation.
