Left to wait
After conferring with my doctor last week and doing the paperwork I was scheduled to have my blood drawn and tested today at the Rock Sound clinic.
A patriot and nation builder
The National Family Island Regatta Committee is saddened and heartbroken by the sudden passing of George A Smith.
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts
IT is an age old quote that has vibrated through history for almost as long as civilisations have been around.
Why attack Atlantis?
What is the purpose of these public attacks on Atlantis? They are a Bahamian corporate entity with the right to free speech, and to defend their interests. Their very ethos is protecting, promoting and selling ecology, so why would they not be interested in what happens right next door?
Swimmers face jet ski dangers
I am an avid swimmer, as are many Bahamians and visitors who utilise Goodman’s Bay. For many years, I have used Goodman’s Bay for my form of exercise, swimming the equivalent length of the beach from the eastern parking lot to the western parking lot. Afterward doing water exercises that require not touching the sea bottom. The total exercise routine may take up to two hours.
Minister travel
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?
Bright spots for The Bahamas
Informed observers have long understood the persistence of regressive tax policies to be one of our biggest development challenges since independence.
Response to Pastor Rex Major
We write to express our deep concern and disappointment regarding the comments of Rev Rex Major at a recent national ecumenical church service where our national leaders were present.
Comments on marital rape issue
I read with consternation (but not surprise) the remarks of Evangelist Rex Major on the impending marital rape legislation at the recent ecumenical service celebrating The Bahamas’ 50th anniversary of independence. A few of his remarks caught my attention:
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
In recent weeks North Abaco MP Kirk Cornish and Central and South Abaco MP John Pinder have both sounded the alarm over the explosive growth of the Haitian population on Abaco in the post-Dorian era.
In response to Henfield
Responding to recent United Nations recommendations on how the Bahamas can improve its human rights record, Opposition senator Darren Henfield said Bahamians are “tired” of external forces like the UN telling us what to.
Divide and conquer
I am dismayed to see the way in which our country is being professionally manipulated right before our very eyes!
