On winning the election, the Holness government immediately went on the offensive to establish its allegiance to Donald Trump's foreign policy by objectively aligning itself to the racist Israeli agenda against the Palestinian.

In discussing the rising murder rate in our country, the gleaner and section of the elites consistently promoting tried and failed solutions to our people's problems, they are part of the problem, not the solution.

Our press in Jamaica since independence is owned and controlled by the 5% that own and control the majority of our national resources and assets.
