FNM LABOUR DIRECTOR JOHN PINDER INSULTS UNION LEADERS AND WORKERS
It is disappointing, but not surprising, that the comments attributed to FNM Labour Director, John Pinder, in today’s national papers, 5 July, essentially down play the dedication and important work of union leaders in this country while dismissing the challenges being faced by a significant number of union members. It is regrettable that John Pinder […]
PRIME MINISTER IS TORN ON CALLING THE ELECTIONS
Prime Minister Minnis continues to canvas the country in desperation to stay in power, but the Bahamian people are not buying his political lies and promises this time around. The longer Dr. Minnis takes to call the general elections, the worse his party’s chances are of winning. Dr. Minnis is torn. He has squandered the […]
Precautions in the face of category one Hurricane Elsa
While the current projected path of Elsa takes this storm west of the Bahama Island chain, a gulf stream or pressure system can easily and quickly shift the path of Elsa to the east, placing The Bahamas directly in the storm’s path.

The Progressive Liberal Party will end the travel visa immediately upon forming the next government. In contrast, the FNM government intends to keep the travel visa in place at least through 2023.[1] The travel visa is an unnecessary tax imposed by the FNM government on Bahamian families and businesses when they can least afford it. […]
THE TRAVEL HEALTH VISA IS A CORRUPT SCHEME TO FUNNEL MONEY TO FNM INSIDERS
Esteemed members of the press, good morning. Thank you very much for joining us here today. Everyone knows we are a nation in crisis. It’s clear to me that as we get back on our feet, as we rebuild our economy, we should aim for much more than just recovery. Recovery implies going back to […]
Prime Minister’s Budget Full of Deception and Evidence of Contempt for Bahamians; PM Offers No Plan to Manage Debt or Grow the Economy

But the Prime Minister can neither produce nor execute […]
Minnis Fails to Erase His Legacy of Neglect in Grand Bahama
Ginger MoxeyProgressive Liberal PartyCandidate for Pineridge Grand Bahamians were treated today to another display of contempt from the Minnis government.
