Controversial Jamaat-al-Muslimeen Imam Yasin Abu Bakr will not be the most talked about man on this July 27—the 25th anniversary of Trinidad and Tobago’s attempted coup. The United States Department of Justice (DOJ), according to the Extradition Act, has 60 days from the issuance of a provisional warrant to Chaguanas …

Civic watch group, Fixin’ T&T, has expressed grave concern over the failure of Attorney General Garvin Nicholas to deny or explain funds allegedly provided to him by Chaguanas West MP and ex-FIFA vice president Jack Warner, who is fighting extradition to the United States at present. Fixin’ T&T calls on …

If Jack Warner is not crooked, neither is the Lady Young Road. I so declare completely mindful of the presumption of innocence. Let it be very clear that I am not saying he is guilty of any of the crimes with which he has recently been charged. But I am …

The United States Embassy denied this morning that its Department of Justice issued a formal extradition request for Chaguanas West MP and ex-FIFA VP Jack Warner, as reported in the local media. The following is the brief release by the US Embassy, which was sent just after 11 am on …

So much for the People’s Partnership’s attack on PNM leader Dr Keith Rowley for wining on a teenager. There is always the likelihood of heavy hypocrisy and immense irony when Chaguanas West MP and former FIFA money transfer extraordinaire Jack Warner is lecturing about wrongdoing. But, not for the first …

Twenty-two-year-old Shemika Charles, the Guinness World Record limbo holder, set a new mark earlier this week by limboing under a SUV in the United States. She barely had a week to enjoy her accomplishment.

The Trinidad Guardian newspaper, in another Jack Warner-related non-exclusive, suggested today that the Chaguanas West MP may have rented a house in Santa Margarita, St Augustine in 2010, which, a neighbour thinks, was occupied by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s sister. And that can only mean… Wait. What the hell does that …

HBO’s British comic John Oliver tonight announced himself to Trinidad and Tobago with a performance that did for comedy what Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr did for boxing. And by that Mr Live Wire means Oliver tossed some elegant jabs, scarcely touched his opponent and yet, somehow, managed to preserve his …

Mr Live Wire had a bad dream last night. He dreamt: that the Prime Minister just started the sixth year of a five-year term in office, the country’s Attorney General is so uninspiring that the People’s Partnership once replaced him as minister with Jamal “I am stupid” Mohammed… That ILP …

Says he wants to publish damning report… June 24, 2010: THE TIMING was brilliant. I don’t believe the prosecutors in Zug conspired with FIFA to release their statement as the first round of the World Cup in South Africa was ending and the eyes of fans were on teams advancing …

“Mahatma Gandhi said: all through history, there have been tyrants,” said Chaguanas West MP and ex-FIFA vice president Jack Warner. “But in the end, they fall.” Irony is lost on Warner, the former history teacher who became a millionaire football official but is now fighting extradition to the United States. …
