It is good to praise the Lord and make music to Your name, O Most High, proclaiming Your love in the morning and Your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.
For You make me glad by Your deeds, Lord; I sing for joy at what Your hands have done.
Exodus 31:16–17
The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. It will be a sign between Me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.
💔 HEARTBREAK IN THE 242: FAREWELL TO A TRUE BAHAMIAN FIRESTORM, “SPARKY” 🕊️
By: Michael Elijah Muhammad Clare
Today, our timelines feel a little quieter as The Bahamas mourns the loss of a larger-than-life social media personality and fearless political commentator, the one and only “Sparky.”
To call Sparky just an influencer would be a massive understatement. He was a familiar voice in national conversations, a presence on social media, and a staple on the radio airwaves. Known for his fierce passion and unfiltered honesty, he had a rare gift for saying what many everyday Bahamians were thinking. He was unapologetically straightforward, bringing raw energy and a no-nonsense attitude to every debate, social media post, and call-in show.
But beneath that fiery exterior and his unshakable convictions was a man whose heart beat deeply for The Bahamas. His outspoken nature was not just for show. It reflected his passion for his country and his desire to see it move forward. He did not simply talk about the issues; he cared about the people affected by them.
Whether you found yourself agreeing with his every word or debating him through your car radio or on social media, Sparky was a personality who made his presence felt. He stood firmly by what he believed in and brought a style, passion, and energy that were uniquely Bahamian.
Our social media feeds will be less colourful without him, and our national conversations will feel his absence. Bahama Drama extends heartfelt condolences and prayers to Sparky’s family, close friends, and everyone who followed his journey and felt a personal connection to him.
Sleep in eternal peace, Sparky. Your smartphone may no longer be capturing your live broadcasts, but the memories you created, the conversations you sparked, and the impact you made will remain in the hearts of those who knew you and followed your voice across The Bahamas. 🇧🇸💙
🚨 The United Nations just reported that ammunition coming from the Dominican Republic has been illegally redirected into the hands of armed gangs in Haiti. 🇭🇹
UN allegations are that a sector of the Dominican government is working neck to neck with BBQ and the Haitian gang leaders to continue to disabilize Haiti and continue robbing the country for it’s natural resources like gold.
The gang leaders are spies and traders of their own country for money and power. 💰

Wake up, Bahamas! We have been complaining about our island roads for decades, completely blind to the economic goldmine sitting right beneath our tires. Potholes are not an infrastructure problem. They are our country’s most abundant natural resource!
Every day, thousands of tourists arrive on our shores, rent a little Nissan March, and receive a complimentary Baja 500 off-road safari experience just by driving down the street. Why are we letting them enjoy this adventure for free? They are getting a premium suspension-testing experience, and the public purse is not seeing a dime!
Lincoln Bain, I hope you are taking notes, because this is one natural resource even the COI has not fought for yet. It is time to reclaim our asphalt craters!
We need an immediate 0.19% Pothole VAT on all visitors. This single, strategic tax will get our great nation completely out of debt and cover all our annual government expenses. The Pothole VAT is the future!
Furthermore, we need to stop filling them in. LET’S PASS THESE POTHOLES DOWN TO BUILD BAHAMIAN GENERATIONAL WEALTH!
My grandfather blew a tire in that crater in 1998. I blew a tire there today. And if we protect our national heritage, my grandson will blow a tire there in 2050!
Now THAT is a legacy!
PAGE REPLY & ADDITIONAL THOUGHT:
Why stop at the streets? We need to start installing potholes on our beaches, too! We can rebrand them for cruise ship passengers as “Custom VIP Eco-Tide Pools” and charge an extra $50 a day for the privilege of sitting in them.
TURKS AND CAICOS INTERCEPTS ANOTHER CROWDED BOAT FROM HAITI
Turks and Caicos police and military units intercepted another crowded boat from Haiti on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, taking 110 people into custody.
The group consisted of 87 men and 23 women.
Officers from the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force, working alongside the Turks and Caicos Islands Regiment and Border Force, intercepted the vessel at sea. The passengers were then transferred to two police marine craft for processing.
But the operation was followed by a frightening incident.
One of the vessels, the recently commissioned Sea Protector 2, exploded while it was being refueled at Turtle Tail Marina at approximately 2:29 p.m.
Police said the explosion appeared to have started near the stern deck. The vessel suffered limited damage, and fortunately, no one was injured.
The cause of the explosion remains under investigation.
This was the second migrant landing attempt recorded in Turks and Caicos waters in just 15 days and the third since September 8, when authorities intercepted 93 people attempting to reach the territory.
The latest interception brings the running total of Haitians who have attempted the sea journey toward Turks and Caicos this year to 1,545.
HAITI’S DEEPENING CRISIS
The dangerous crossings are taking place as Haiti continues to face a devastating humanitarian and security crisis.
Armed gangs continue to control large areas of the country. More than half of Haiti’s approximately 12 million people are facing hunger, while nearly 1.5 million people have been forced from their homes because of gang violence.
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said last week that his office had recorded at least 5,700 people killed or injured by gangs, or during operations against them, between January 1 and September 11.
During the same period, gangs kidnapped more than 230 people and raped more than 1,000 women and girls.
Türk warned that the actual figures are likely higher.
He also pointed to the importance of money sent home by Haitians living abroad. Nearly $5 billion in remittances entered Haiti last year, representing roughly one-sixth of the country’s gross domestic product.
Türk warned that continued deportations could threaten this vital source of financial support.
In 2026, more than 220,000 people, including nearly 20,000 children, have been forcibly returned to Haiti from countries across the region.
Türk said many of those people had originally fled because of violence and warned that returning them could once again place their lives at risk.
DRUG TRAFFICKING AND THE SAME SEA ROUTE
The migrant crisis is also becoming increasingly connected to concerns about drug trafficking.
A United Nations panel of experts report released Tuesday linked the same maritime route between northern Haiti and Turks and Caicos to both migrant smuggling and drug trafficking.
The panel, which advises on sanctions, said northern Haiti remains part of regional cocaine and cannabis trafficking corridors.
Authorities have recorded a significant number of drug seizures, including some cases connected to Turks and Caicos.
The Turks and Caicos Islands government has not yet responded to the panel’s request, which was sent through the United Kingdom, for additional information.
The report highlighted one case from April 30, when the U.S. Coast Guard stopped a vessel off Môle Saint-Nicolas in northwestern Haiti.
Authorities seized 1,376 kilograms of cannabis, valued at approximately $3.8 million, and arrested a Jamaican national.
The drugs and the suspect were handed over to Haitian authorities on May 3.
The man told investigators that he was a fisherman who had been hired by another Jamaican to sail from Jamaica to Providenciales.
He claimed ownership of the drugs and said three other people aboard the vessel jumped overboard and escaped.
The report also pointed to events in August 2024, when Turks and Caicos authorities stopped several boats carrying undocumented migrants from Haiti’s northern coast and seized more than $2 million worth of cannabis.
The U.N. panel described a broader pattern in which drug shipments and irregular migration appear to be moving along the same Haiti-to-Turks and Caicos maritime route.
MORE DEADLY BOAT JOURNEYS
The latest interception comes as other dangerous maritime incidents have occurred across the region.
A little more than a week ago, an overloaded boat carrying 62 people capsized near a small islet between Hispaniola and Puerto Rico.
U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmers and a civilian boat crew pulled 49 people from the rough waters.
Three bodies were recovered, while the search for 10 missing people was later suspended.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection said most of the survivors were Dominican nationals, while two were Haitian.
Then, on Monday, the U.S. Coast Guard rescued 61 people from another overcrowded boat that was taking on water approximately 12 nautical miles off Cabo Cabrón on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic.
The people aboard were transferred to two Dominican Navy patrol boats.
Their nationalities have not been released, and all those rescued are being processed under standard immigration procedures.
A GROWING REGIONAL CRISIS
Turks and Caicos, a British Overseas Territory, has become a frequent destination for boats leaving northern Haiti.
For many attempting the dangerous journey, the decision is being driven by a combination of gang violence, hunger, displacement and the collapse of security inside Haiti.
But the increasingly crowded boats are creating another danger: people are risking their lives at sea in vessels that are often overloaded and poorly equipped for the journey.
The latest interception, the explosion of the Sea Protector 2, and the recent maritime emergencies across the region all point to the growing dangers surrounding migration routes between Haiti and the wider Caribbean.
For Turks and Caicos authorities, the challenge is no longer simply stopping migrant boats.
It is managing a growing regional crisis that is unfolding both on land in Haiti and across the dangerous waters separating the islands.
September 30th already pass, and October done come a little way, but this beautiful news still ringing like church bells over the water.
You and Beth have welcomed two precious daughters into this world: Leilani Hope Bristol Deal and Liyana Faith Britain Deal.

God gets all the honor.
You and Beth get the joy.
