BRAVE ROBBERY: Four arrested, one man still at large

How interesting that this case in particular could be solved so quickly- what is that - less than a week ?

Either preferential treatment OR Davis knew the intruders. either way is bad news.

How is it even possible that the individuals kept the cash on hand? Either stupid or it was never actually taken.. At least, that is my opinion.

Wilchcombe: We are making dent in crime

I personally don't care what the stats say, I don't feel safer, and neither does anyone else I know that lives here. The US issues warnings every few months, the same ones, with similar stories of frightening robberies and other violent crimes. The dent that is made in the crime is not worth even mentioning, as it's the same rhetoric spewed each time the US issues a warning to its citizens. Hire properly trained outside forces along with adjustments to the penal system and move on with the growth of an honorable society. Why is Big Gov stalling and averting The peoples' wants and needs over every major issue?

Mitchell: Critics are 'politically motivated'

Would love to see a detailed breakdown of expenses for the trips taken by this minister since taking up the post. There is NO REASON for $120k to be budgeted per annum for travel... BUT I guess when other Ministers are paying $15k PER MONTH for their office rent, why shouldn't he be tripping around the world. Everybody want their piece of the pie.

New attempt at mortgage relief

Definitely wrong headline for the story...so VAT has failed in MANY Caribbean countries that have similar characteristics to ours...we are the ONLY country moving to VAT that does not already have some other tax structure like income tax already in place. He is now saying the legislation may not be out until the end of February and we are meant to have everything in place to go live 4 months later? They are off their rocker. By all means, look at the other countries that are a close fit to our economy and make up, and compare...LEARN from those around you that VAT does NOT work effectively...oh, but wait...we should just ignore all these other examples around us cause the rest of them are full of crap and don't know how to run a government properly...as if we do...our government structure is an absolute archaic joke, and they are wanting to leapfrog into VAT which requires heavy reporting, tracking, accountability and the technology to back it. Bull crap. We couldn't be ready for a VAT set up for YEARS...let alone 4 months. Idiots.

I was looking forward to this program. I would like to get involved as there are surrounding neighbours (mostly Haitian villages) that have many stray dogs that are a nuisance to the area.

World Bank 'irrational' to intervene over anti-gay laws

The last two paragraphs that quote Mr. Kim say it all; discrimination is WRONG no matter how you look at it. In order to develop and move forward, we MUST eradicate it. Unfortunately, due to our lack of education and overall ignorance (heavily linked to our cherry-picked religious ties), the Bahamas is so far behind. This is a sickening and shocking threat to human rights. Very, very sad that we have brought an individual like this here to our country. What next?

Nottage says crime down - despite recent spate of murders

“What we are finding is that the residents themselves have said crime is down, the violence is down, the arguments are down, but there will be incidents from time to time. What we are hoping is that eventually the atmosphere and environment created by this police presence and by the programmes that we are running will cause this to be a lasting effect.” LIE #1

“ Unless provoked, criminals engaged in property crimes do not generally engage in gratuitous violence. LIE #2

I guess we have proven ourselves so stupid as Bahamians in the past, Nottage thinks we believe this crap today. 10 years ago I enjoyed going to fish fry on the weekends with friends..........today you wouldnt catch me dead there on a friday night and when I go home I am looking around frantically to make sure no one is lurking or hiding. A fenced in yard or gate is a plus if you can afford it. Window bars and security screens are necessities. There are few people you can trust,even women and children are in on some of these horrific crimes. We are reaping what we have sown all these years.

"She also said her son was a “loving, kind-hearted” person and that he had two young children. She also called on the government to deal with crime and “hang” murderers."

I'm confused... is she saying that she would prefer for her murder 'accused' son to be hanged???

Let me introduce our financial consultant to you Ishmael Lightbourne. Mr. Lightbourne was very instrumental in our VAT plans. No sir he's not the same Ishmael that refused to pay his property taxes for 20 years sir, that was another Ishmael... Meet our Governor General, no sir she's not the one that refused to pay her taxes for 14 years....

Minnis warned he is ‘playing a dangerous game’

Loretta, I am sorry, but you do not have the intelligence, the enlightenment nor the education and background to lead a party or lead a country. The first act of patriotism, is to rationally determine where you can add value, and you are not adding value to a unified opposition that needs to destroy the cancer of the current government. To quote the Bible, you have been weighed in the scale and found wanting (no euphemism intended on your weight). Please, if you are truly a Bahamian patriot, sit down, shut up, and get behind your party and your leader.
