On Monday 6 May 2024, Philip Davis, the boy from Rolle Avenue in the clapboard house, who grew up barefoot by subsistence illiterate farmers in Cat Island, told the Haywards and St Georges in Freeport that it was time for them to go. And oh, by the way, pay us what you owe us. The […]
There are several analogies that you can make when a body is at an end of its useful life. You can compare what happens just before an overused fishery is about to collapse. Just before the collapse, it appears that there is a huge harvest. Then the next year it is gone altogether. You could […]
Prime Minister Davis speaking to the Grand Bahama Chamber on Monday 6 May 2024 On the evening of 8 May 2024, two statements were issued from Grand Bahama.

The salacious details coming out in the trial of Donald Trump in the United States in a New York courtroom are aptly emblematic of the Trump era. He was a sleazy individual and his administration was covered in sleaze. The testimony of former prostitute Stormy Daniels was riveting for the salacious detail even though not […]
The House of Assembly’s business was derailed by the Opposition Free National Movement in a fake to and fro on Wednesday 8 May 2024 over answering questions out by the Opposition Free National Movement, on the order paper.

It is my sad duty tonight to announce the passing of retired Nurse Sybil Curtis at the age of 101 at her home on the Fox Hill Road. It was my great privilege to serve as her MP. Thank you God for her. I have spoken to her daughter to express condolences on behalf of […]
8 May 2024 This evening, two unfortunate, ill-conceived, misdirected statements were issued out of Grand Bahama responding in a combative manner to the Prime Minister’s address to the Grand Bahama Chamber of Commerce.
