Americans are protesting. They are angry with Trump’s decisions. In November of last year, they had a choice. Trump or Clinton. They were going to be stuck with one.
Saluting Perry Christie
TO the front salute is a command I learned while being a member of the Royal Bahamas Defence Force. It is a command that is called by the parade commander when a marching platoon is about to pass a dignitary or someone with high accolades. It is essentially a salute. The whole platoon looks to their right, which will be where the person receiving the salute is, and after four paces, the platoon turns their head back to the normal position. It is a mark of respect.

Congratulations, Mr Christie!
Finding a formula for success
Several years ago, there was an article in the Wall Street Journal which laid out an irrefutable formula for success in life, for everyone. That formula is as follows:
Bringing in the tourists
SPORTS events, are they really worth the cost - how many visitors do they actually bring?
Tackling crime
I WAS happy to see the article in The Tribune on Tuesday from Project Youth Justice presenting different ways to help rehabilitate our young people, instead of turning our schools into prisons.
Time to go, Perry
WHAT is it about old politicians and their thirst for power. I don’t think you have to be Albert Einstein to realise Perry Christie’s best days are long over.
Where’s the money?
WHEN this present government made the decision to initiate VAT, it was based on their claims that all revenue collection would be used to pay down the national debt.
Flawed political process
THE Political process in The Bahamas at the party level is a farce. It’s a travesty!
Late fee added on top of firearms costs
Every January, I and many other Bahamian gun owners turn in our firearm licenses for annual renewal.
Government lap dogs over NHI scheme
NHI will result in 500 million dollars in additional revenue and lead to better workforce productivity. This is something we would expect to hear from KPMG’s self serving Mark Britnell of course but Simon Townend – Seriously!
Where are all these new jobs?
CAN the Rt Hon Prime Minister show precisely where his claim of creating 22,000 new jobs were created?
Fred Smith responds to Fred Mitchell
I am responding to Minister Fred Mitchell’s speech in Parliament on January 18, 2017 and the public reaction to my comments at the Coral Beach meeting on Sunday, January 15, 2017. It saddens me that I am being falsely and publicly accused of being “hateful, deceitful, ungrateful, dishonest and unpatriotic”.
Christie’s claim far from true
AFTER reading numerous articles in the daily newspapers, where the “jokiest” leader in the history of this country, the Right Hon Prime Minister Perry G Christie, had the audacity, the nerve, and the gall to say that his administration has done an “outstanding” job of governing The Bahamas, I felt compelled to write this letter.
