Death penalty does not work in reducing crime
IT was rewarding to read this thoughtful editorial.
My experience at Accident and Emergency
After reading an article in The Tribune, about how tourists were treated at the Rand Memorial Hospital in Grand Bahama, I decided to write about my experience at Accident & Emergency at Princess Margaret Hospital in Nassau.
Applause for Minnis’ Humanitarian Gesture
Events well beyond our borders can shape the term of any government for better or for worse.
Fred Mitchell’s hypocrisy on Dominica
In two non-consecutive terms as Foreign Minister, Fred Mitchell never passed up an opportunity to travel to the Caribbean or to wave the Caricom flag.
Advisors left the PM out to dry
Remember the “Bend or break” speech? Remember the “I will prosecute their backsides to jail”? Sir Lynden Pindling and Sir Cecil Wallace Whitfield....comments never forgotten.
Rev McAlpine lacks good judgment
Given his narrow-minded and ungracious response to the Government’s proposal to welcome some students from Dominica in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, thank God Prime Minister Hubert Minnis did not appoint Pineridge MP Rev. Frederick McAlpine to the cabinet.
Honeymoon period is over for the FNM

Where our own Christian values have gone
AS our Prime Minister sheds tears in Parliament over the distress of the people of Dominica, and fellow MP Fred McAlpine, warns that charity begins at home (and presumably stays at home), and talk show hosts rail against the inhumanity of a few uncaring Bahamians, who would leave the people of Dominica to stew in their own juice, The Punch today carries a story that tells of where perhaps our own Christian values have gone.
Mayaguana
IF you ask Bahamians to state something they know about Mayaguana, most will respond by asking, what or where is Mayaguana? This southern island is often treated as the stepchild of The Bahamas. Due to the constant neglect by successive Governments, the island’s development has been a slow and painful process throughout the years causing its residents to gradually abandon their home one by one.

Minnis testing our patience
IT is extremely unfortunate that the Prime Minister received the blow back that he did from the Bahamian people concerning how he decided to assist post-hurricane Dominican students, however all of the criticism he received was self inflicted.
Symonette must stop illegal interrogation
Rights Bahamas is appalled by reports that Immigration and Defence Force officers are continuing the unlawful practice of stopping civilians in the street and demanding proof of their right to be in the country.
The Christian thing
The prime minister’s plan to offer Dominican students refuge in The Bahamas in the face of a humanitarian crisis is the right and decent thing to do.
Refugees
I WAS quite surprised when the row broke out at the NPCC when the offered refugee week was up, and the people were expected to leave.
Davis sees no wrong

Frightening tale of hit on economies
Some time ago, I read a rather intriguing book entitled, “The Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man”.
