“[…] In the news just recently, we had a case of a sitting MP evading a collection agency over a TT$600,000 debt. This is in addition to him having an outstanding defamation order in the amount of TT$500,000. Another aspirant to public office has multiple defamation judgements pending against and …

“[…] The calypso artform, like other artforms, has […] always been constantly evolving. Although I am an elderly person, I was quite impressed with many of the calypsos sung by many young calypsonians this year. “I particularly like Yung Bredda’s We Rise. He gave an absolutely superlative performance at the …

“[…] Take any of the problems that US president Donald Trump promised to address and there is always a degree of positivity in them. For example, the situation of immigration where he promised to stop the droves of immigrants entering the USA through illegal channels. “[…] But while we may …

“[…] Dennise Demming, like many others, highlights Dr Keith Rowley’s TT$87,847 pension while juxtaposing it against the TT$3,000 pension of senior citizens.

The disappearing thong, in particular, vanishes in part into crevices of unknown depth, leaving little to the imagination and often sacrificing comfort for shock value. “The bikini, on the other hand, has …

“[…] The MSJ is calling the Donald Trump/ Marco Rubio position for what it is. An act of an imperialist bully. “This is the 200-year-old Monroe Doctrine on steroids. That doctrine underpins the belief by the US that every country and every individual in this hemisphere is subject to US …

I support Melbourne Cricket Club president Mark Neita’s view that the best white ball players should play Test cricket for West Indies—but can it happen in reality? When famous England Premier League football club Manchester United lost 3-1 to Brighton on 19 January 2025, their coach Ruben Amorim described his …

“[…] A few years later, the Washington Darts joined the NASL and I decided to visit Trinidad on a recruiting trip in 1970.
