FNM wikipedia
I was surprised at how inaccurate a Wikipedia article is on the Free National Movement leadership. The article, which was last edited in December 2022, asserts that Peter Turnquest serves as deputy leader to Michael Pintard. The readership would know that the FNM deputy leader is St Barnabas MP Shanendon Cartwright. Turnquest isn’t even an MP, which the writer of the Wikipedia article seems to assume.
China’s Ukraine position
RE: CHINA’S position on the political settlement of the Ukraine crisis: 1. Respecting the sovereignty of all countries. Universally recognised international law, including the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, must be strictly observed.
Haiti is in dire straits
Jovenel Moïse’s death has created a power vacuum for the local gangs to seize control over more than half of Port-au-Prince as the death toll rises from gang warfare and the Haitian national police struggle to keep the peace while being underfunded, outmanned and outgunned.
Troubles at BTC accounts
I think that BTC has completely lost the plot now. Over the last few days I have had several missed calls from a number 702-0795. When I called back I got the message that it was BTC but we can’t take your call right now.
Children in poverty
“Suffer The Little Children to come unto Me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
PLP opposed independence too
My interest was piqued by a Nassau Guardian article pertaining to a Progressive Liberal Party Cabinet minister's claim in Parliament that the Free National Movement opposed independence. The PLP minister is correct. However, I wish the minister would have demonstrated the level of bipartisanship that senior PLP statesman George Smith showed when he corrected an untruth about FNM delegates to the Constitutional Conference leaving before an agreement was reached in 1972.

Certainty and issue of immigration
I have often spoken about the concept of “certainty” and why it is important to the success of any endeavour.
Basic freedoms
I do not agree with Lincoln Bain. With that said, however, I believe it is incumbent upon all of us to defend the right of Lincoln Bain to have a voice in this country.
Don’t avenge our self-harm on Haitians
Before I was ten, I was all heated up about the Haitian migration issue.
Let us pray
A FORMER Barbados and International fast bowler (Cricketer) Pastor Courtney Selman, now radio Evangelist, believes that he was Divinely called to “make this clarion call globally in order to make our world a better one.” He thinks, “this can be achieved by calling the 2.2 billion Christians and 1.2 billion Catholics world-wide to regular corporate daily prayer.
Defend our freedoms
Like many Bahamians, I watched several clips circulated on social media on Wednesday, February 15, 2023. As I watched, I was very disturbed to see what was transpiring and now find it not only necessary to put pen to paper, but important to do so.
Alcohol, drugs and gambling
In Jesus put all your trust, all your belief, and all your heart.
FNM, tell the truth
The FNM needs to tell the truth. It was interesting to see the barrage of letters that flooded your column a few weeks ago in response to the Mackey Street Man’s opinion on who should lead the FNM into the next general election. The litany of letters to the editors seemed so insubstantial and offered no real substantive case in support of Mr Pintard’s leadership, other than he is not Dr Minnis.
Name the highway for boxing champion
We, the Committee to Honour Elisha Obed, our first World Champion in an Independent Bahamas, formally make a request to government to name the East West Highway, The Elisha Obed Highway.
