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.
Ingraham tribute to Helen Smith
I was saddened to learn of the passing of Mrs. Helen Smith who served as my personal assistant and then, senior personal assistant throughout my first two terms in office as prime minister.
By-election affirms Davis’ PLP
Mercifully the bye-election in West End and Bimini has come to a conclusion. It was almost like torture watching and listening to the groveling manner and semantics of the ‘failed’ putative ‘leader’ of the defunct FNM and the absolute humiliation of the venerable Bishop Ricardo Grant.
COI shows no progress at the polls
Dear editor, I was waiting with interest to see if the Coalition of Independents’ Facebook audience would actually show up in the vote tally. Now that this election is over, it is clear that those Live views are not translating into votes.
Inagua man jailed for alleged wounding of man with cutlass
A MAN was remanded after he allegedly wounded a man at a police station in Inagua and assaulted four others with a cutlass last week.
Time for FNM to re-evaluate
The West End and Grand Bahama by-election should be a wake-up call for the FNM. Yes, the PLP poured plenty resources into the contest. They also made plenty promises and signed quite a number of contracts.
Nygard’s conviction a wake-up call
Women United commends the recent conviction of Peter Nygard by the Canadian Court system. The verdict stands as a pivotal moment, shedding light on the unfortunate reality faced by many women who have suffered due to the reprehensible actions of individuals like Nygard. His conviction serves as a stark wake-up call, exposing the complacency of those who allowed his continued operations here in our country.
