Who does lie?
I was shocked to read that a “Christian” pastor used a national ecumenical service to try and derail the move to criminalise marital rape.
McAlpine’s GBPA takeover fear is irrational
Former Free National Movement MP Rev Frederick McAlpine’s opposition to the central government purchasing the Grand Bahama Port Authority seems to be irrational. In an interview with Tribune Business, McAlpine stated that “if you want to see how the Government will run the GBPA, look at how it operates the eastern and western parts of Grand Bahama.” Both areas on Grand Bahama resembles the Out Islands, which are mostly underdeveloped, as should be expected for a third world country.
Have we learned our lesson yet?
Mankind has long pondered, studied, and questioned our purpose in life that exists upon pendulum swings between balance and domination. The COVID-19 pandemic certainly disrupted our entire world order. Have we emerged from this dangerous scourge any wiser than before, since it appears that we will be entering another questionable era of Artificial Intelligence, or AI next? Are we content to accept that such are the rapid advances of modern life, rather than question and reflect?
Pinder’s Point

Coronation and kissing the ring
The Great Manipulator: A enterprise, organization, powerful individual or group that uses manipulation and illusion as a tool of control. Both presenting itself as charitable-good doing while maintaining its self centred greed-profiteering ways to achieve its goal of power.
End of an era - the start of a better one?
At one time, the Torii Gate at the International Bazaar stood as a symbol of Freeport’s historic economic success, proud emblem of a dynamic and cosmopolitan city which thrived on creating diverse opportunities for Bahamians while attracting commerce, expertise and innovation from around the world.
Nassau’s housing crisis looms
About four years ago a young Dutchman told me that he, along with the majority of Dutchmen in his age group, cannot afford to buy a house or a plot of land in The Netherlands. His only option is to rent, which in itself is also extremely costly.
Goodman’s Bay required parking taken by workers
GOODMAN’S Bay parking areas...plenty cars, but no one on the beach?
Govt travel assessment required
Yes, Ministers have to travel especially the Foreign Minister, his/her title is obvious ‘Foreign Minister’, but every trip needs to be evaluated as to its success and re-appraisement as to future travel to a similar event must be taken. How large was the delegation going to the Coronation and other meets in London recently?
Did police return FTX tablets?
I have read where The Bahamas Police have launched an investigation into FTX.
