Bharrat Jagdeo Annette Ferguson
Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo, against whom a GYD$20 million judgment was issued by the High Court for defaming former coalition Housing Minister Annette Ferguson, failed to file a defence because of the 2020 election issues and the closure of High Court operations due to the coronavirus, Senior Counsel Anil Nandlall said Tuesday. March 29.
Mr. Nandlall said his client would be asking the High Court to discard the judgement which could see Mr. Jagdeo being jailed or his assets confiscated if he fails to pay Ms. Ferguson the damages awarded. Continue reading →

OIL – EXXON-MOBIL – PAYARA
The Vice President opened his mouth and showed that he is not up to the job of dealing in the big leagues with the big boys. He laments about “enormous pressure” from Exxon to justify his government’s abject failure to seize the moment and rearrange this country’s prospects from greedy Exxon. He kowtowed embarrassingly with that limp one of getting more for Payara.
To the Hon. Vice President, I say this: it is nothing, not near what it should be. Again, I say this to the VP and Guyana, Exxon is a wounded giant, flopping around and hanging on to Guyana for dear life; it is beached on Guyana’s shores, and any swift kick to the behinds of its rapacious leaders will make them rear up in alarm.

Mar 26, 2021 – Kaieteur News – A young Berbician girl in her mid 20s, Renda Henry, hung herself last week with her bed sheet in the ward of the Berbice Psychiatric Hospital. It was rumoured that she was sexually molested by a family member and that brought on depression which later became intense.
HENRY’S SITUATION IS CURIOUS. She went in and out of the hospital over a period of time. It meant that she was not of a condition that warranted permanent supervision. But if she was eventually admitted then her condition did not improve over the time she was being treated. Continue reading →
Democrats did the work, Republicans didn’t — and that says a lot about the two parties.
Jonathan Cohn | The Atlantic
The affordable care act, the health-care law also known as Obamacare, turns 11 years old this month. Somehow, the program has not merely survived the GOP’s decade-long assault. It’s actually getting stronger, thanks to some major upgrades tucked in the COVID-19 relief package that President Joe Biden signed into law earlier this month.
The new provisions should enable millions of Americans to get insurance or save money on coverage they already purchased, bolstering the health-care law in precisely the way its architects had always hoped to do. And although the measures are temporary, Biden and his Democratic Party allies have pledged to pass more legislation making the changes permanent. Continue reading →
