Convention calls are for Minnis
Former Free National Movement Cabinet Minister Desmond Bannister’s calls for a convention in a recent letter to the FNM leadership team is a repeat of the Loretta Butler-Turner faction’s calls for a convention during the tumultuous tenure of Dr Hubert Minnis as Opposition leader in 2016.
Dogs bark over FNM
The by-election is over and the FNM has lost, however in the aftermath and post-mortem of it all there is lots of noise in the market. The noise has become deafening so much so that amidst the noise there were screams for a new leader for the party, even screams from one who claimed he had got a recent beatdown.
Business cards
There has been a debate surrounding the perceived weight of traditional paper business cards versus modern smart business cards. I strongly disagree with the notion that paper business cards hold more significance.
Pintard shows how not to lead
Free National Movement (FNM), once a symbol of political strength and progress in the Bahamas, now languishes under the lackluster leadership of Michael Pintard. This period in the party’s history will likely be remembered as a time of missed opportunities, strategic blunders, and a glaring disconnect from the Bahamian electorate.
Killing sharks is not the answer
Another fatal shark attack on a tourist has prompted calls again for culling sharks.
Pintard needs to deal with rebels
The open rebellion within the Free National Movement towards Marco City MP Michael Pintard is not unique, but the irrational expectations of the beleaguered leader’s detractors is borderline unprecedented.
Pintard, an exemplary leader
I write to commend the exemplary leadership of Michael Pintard, the party leader of the Free National Movement, during the recent by-election for West Grand Bahama and Bimini. While our party may not have secured victory in this battle, I am confident that, with Pintard at the helm, we are well on our way to winning the war and regaining the government in 2026.
FNM not learning their lesson
Loretta Butler-Turner once said: “I never lose, I learn.” Now that the finger-pointing has already started in the aftermath of the FNM’s defeat in the by-election, it’s clear that some FNMs are not learning the right lessons.
FNM’s downfall by Pintard
The Free National Movement (FNM), once a symbol of political strength and progress in the Bahamas, now languishes under the lackluster leadership of Michael Pintard. This period in the party’s history will likely be remembered as a time of missed opportunities, strategic blunders, and a glaring disconnect from the Bahamian electorate.
Concerned over holiday season safety
Guess I should be saying Season’s Greetings with just short of a month to go, before that big day Christmas, followed by the residual other holidays, a good rest time for some of the country’s essential staffers, well deserved, I think.
Samoa agreement - good or not?
There is presently a push to have the African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries sign on to a 20-year binding agreement with the European Union (EU). This is a revised version of two previous agreements that primarily dealt with trade between the regions, amongst other benefits.
DeSantis an existential threat?
Gov. Ron DeSantis, while giving one of his weird incoherent campaign rants, threatened to “Flatten the Bahamas”. He made this statement while attempting to compare the Commonwealth of the Bahamas to what is happening in Gaza.
Davis’s fight at COP 28
As world leaders convene at COP 28, the stakes could not be higher, especially for nations like the Bahamas. Prime Minister Davis, bearing the weight of our nation's experience with Hurricane Dorian, is set to lead a crucial fight for recognition and action on climate change, a battle underscored by profound human suffering and resilience.
Pintard resignation is bad idea
On A ZNS Radio talk show on the day following the West Grand Bahama and Bimini by-election, several callers suggested to the Progressive Liberal Party leaning host that Free National Movement Leader Michael Pintard, in keeping with our outdated Westminster system of government, should resign his position as leader.
