Deep hole
Let's be honest.
The abhorrent actions of the former administration, more than anything else, secured for Dr. Hubert Minnis and the rehabilitated Free National Movement (FNM) a tremendous victory on May 10.
Voters we talked to did not vote for the FNM because they were impressed by the policy proposals articulated in the party's manifesto or during the various rallies.

Roberts questions if PM has sold out to Izmirlian
Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Chairman Bradley Roberts yesterday asked whether Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis has sold the country out to former Baha Mar developer Sarkis Izmirlian and at what cost.

Upcoming Elections
Dear Editor,
This is a strange election for me. It is the first time that I can remember being so unexcited about an upcoming election. It seems that we as Bahamians basically have to choose either the PLP, FNM or DNA to govern us for the next five years.
It is difficult for me to be excited about supporting any of these three parties, but for different reasons. The PLP and FNM seem quite smug in ...

Importance of dental visits for the autistic person
Parents and caregivers of autistic individuals know that routine is important to the person on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and that they should plan their days in a step-by-step fashion, so imagine the challenges faced when a caregiver has to take someone on the spectrum for a much needed appointment -- say to the dentist -- a visit that is not a part of their everyday routine, that disrup...
