GM folks! Remember, patriotism is not about singing the National Anthem, or waving the Flag! It’s more about doing something tangible to resist obstacles to nat’l progress and prosperity, and to leave behind a better country for one’s children! Happy 58th Anniversary Jamaica🇯🇲🇯🇲!

Leadership! It takes a courageous leader to concede that he/she has taken a misguided path. Many leaders fail to heed warning signs, even when the signs point in one direction. Sometimes it’s pride or arrogance. Sometimes leaders are compromised. Sometimes it’s simply being weak.

GM folks! Remember, put it writing or get it in writing, for it’s not what you know, it’s what you can prove, and if you can’t prove it, it didn’t happen! Best wishes for a safe, peaceful and reflective Sunday!

JA is the #2 murder capital of the world. It’s also now ranked among the world’s 6 worst countries on organized crime. And, it’s seen as a country where corruption is “deeply entrenched and widespread”, and given “respectability”. What, then, exactly, are the steps to get there?

Kingston is well on its way to becoming the next major city in the Caribbean. Based on projections, it will soon become a port of call for cruise ships, all while providing jobs for Jamaicans, more entertainment and a high-quality nightlife.

A public servant is just that - a servant of the people, whose interests he must serve and protect. A public servant must not compromise his obligation to the taxpayer. He must not abuse his office for money or other benefit. And he must not bow to the bids of special interests.

A disposition to be corrupt is typically rooted in greed, selfishness, the lack of a moral compass and a total disregard for the welfare of one’s country. There’s seldom any monetary measure that can satisfy it. Such persons, if found in public office, should be removed forthwith

GM folks. Remember, where there’s no accountability, expect poor standards, creeping incompetence, and a certainty of indiscipline. Wishing you all a safe and pleasant Saturday.

GM folks! Do not be misguided into thinking that Covid is no longer a threat to you. There is every indication that it’s still stalking us and is ready to strike the moment we drop our guards. Be responsible. Think smart. Wishing you good health and a safe and pleasant week!

GM folks! The world’s best trained scientists, doctors and immunologists have long urged us to get vaccinated. Almost 5 billion doses have already been administered globally! If you’re on the fence, do you know something that they don’t? Act now before it’s too late! Best wishes!
