The Eastern Caribbean have them, so it is within the realm of possibility that the dormant ones on this island's mountain chains get to be revived with increased seismic activity in the not so distant future.

It happened to me in 2004 went they switched me from Club Paraíso to the Public Works Ministry HQ, but the reason for that was the sorry attempt at electoral fraud that the PPH attempted on that year. After much cajoling and annoyance, I managed to negotiate with the pld's JCE a relocation to...

It is clearly a woefully inadequate amount even if they are fully armed and trained for such a densely packed country, specially since they will be sent precisely to the densest part of it (and the island as a whole). Gangs would only need to gather a sufficient enough mass of people to make a...

Guy Philippe?

Count me on team silent as well, ma'am.

Over here in the capi the gentrification is being done by Dom Yorks and narco money, making all these high rises to turn into Airbnbs.

Ask any Martinican or Guadeloupean group if they want to be "free and sovereign" like their Haitian cousins. The answers you receive will surprise you, trust me.

I used to live around the Cardenal Sancha school area, and despite the fact that many of the old houses have been substituted by apt. buildings, it still retains some of the vibe I used to remember and love.

Unless the Haitian mess gets to spill over and gets to replicate that same chaos here, and threatens the nearby islands, that is. But then, for some years now, some foreign parties (mainly NGOs and their paymasters) have salivated for said scenario, so as to have a greater space over which to...

No, bro, that Geffrard was the father of the president you mention. He, as well as his superior on the mulatto ranks, Clervaux, ended up being poisoned by order of Dessalines. These two poisonings were the signal that the mulattos needed to convince themselves that Dessalines and them blacks...

Always been of the opinion that Uncle Sam will have to leave a permanent military occupation force on the island to contain the problem in situ (if it's coupled with a naval blockade it will be even better). Otherwise, the problem will just keep island hopping and metastasizing throughout the...

It would be an even bigger failure than the first time it happened, so you'd end up with the same problem on your shores, twice the size. You have any doubts? Just look what the French abolitionist Victor Schoelcher had to say about the experiment. Trust me, it wasn't nice at all.

Ricans, like the perpetually uninformed and naive people that they are (to not use the stronger terms that they merit) still are of the belief that Santo Domingo is still the backwater it used to be when Don Francisco visited it on 86': And always get blown away when, instead, they finally...

Obvioulsy he hasn't been to Twitter or Reddit on the last couple of years. Plenty of threads in those places made by Millennials and Zoomers complaining about Boomers ruining it for them with bad political decisions and such. Gen Xers? Shrugging their shoulders

These ones, to be exact:
