Prosperity gospel has failed GB

GRAND Bahamians are collectively keeping their fingers crossed that the proposed Electra America Hospitality Group and $170m Carnival Cruise Port developments materialise. Freeport’s economy has been in complete shambles for over two decades.

What future for residents being tossed out of domes?

I am writing today as a concerned citizen and a resident of the Spring City domes. I was reading an online article published on July 8th, which was speaking of the Minister trying to have the domes demolished by August!

Anti immigration is the theme – the upsurge of the rightwing

In the past decade massive movements of displaced as well as opportunist immigration has happened all over the globe.

A spectacular display

My family and I attended the Tattoo parade for the 49th Bahamas Independence celebrations on Clifford Park on July 9th, 2022. We were not disappointed this time.

Will a new Commissioner change things?

POLICE Commissioner Clayton Fernander’s pedigree, mostly CID-DIU, could change things, but the data on where the guns come from causes me, and should cause everyone, serious anxiety that little will change.

Push for reverse sexual orientation discrimination

MEMBERS of the LGBTQ+ community in The Bahamas seem to have a sense of entitlement and an us against them mentality.

Aged targets of the drugs industry

Sitting in my family doctors lobby waiting to be seen, I happened to speak with an elderly lady nearby. She was waiting to see the doctor, but had been there previously and told to go buy the medication she would need the doctor to inject her with.

Taxi plates

Taxi plates...did I hear right immediately some 50, but eventually some 200?

Commission of inquiry?

I hope that you all had an enjoyable and safe Independence weekend, as I and my immediate family did. It was a time of reflection on the mighty long way which The Lord Jesus Christ has brought us. Yes, the incessant and debilitating challenges of inflation and the ongoing ravages of the pandemic and a lot more distractions relative to crime and sociological behaviour within the wider Bahamian society.

Settlements of lawsuits & independence

Please permit me to share my views and comments in respect to what appears to be a predisposition on the part of the government to settle lawsuits without the benefit of having certain issues raised therein judicially ventilated and determined by the courts.

Why I am proud to be a Bahamian

MATURE Christian thought has led me to the conclusion that the God of our faith, who created and directs all things, did so for His ultimate glory.

The road ahead

Within a matter of days we will be celebrating our 49th year as an Independent nation - The Commonwealth of The Bahamas. On the 10th July, 1973 the Union Jack flag was lowered for the last time in our newly minted nation. Well do I recall the momentous event at Fort Charlotte. Many of those who are about to celebrate would not have been born and, alas, countless others, would have passed on to Eternity. The Lord, however, has been merciful to us.

Bahamas Dept of Immigration

Anytime I see all of these people and the frequency numbers, I admit that it causes me to panic. As in anything, if you have a lot of children, you would have to expend more energies, shout more and discipline even more...and the coffer would have to have more in it... these were just laws of nature, you cannot do more with less, unless Father God steps in and places His Miraculous enabling hand out to you, otherwise it will not happen.

PLP, FNM, wash, rinse and repeat

Progressive Liberal Party supporters shouldn’t put too much stock in the current stand-off between the camp of Dr Hubert Minnis and the camp of Free National Movement leader Michael Pintard.

Watson becoming a political spokesman

OPM Press Officer who daily is becoming a hybrid political spokesperson – isn’t his job to report with ZERO editorial the News from OPM and Government?
