FLOWER MOUND, TX — June 9, 2021 — We hear a lot these days about UFOs being spotted by serious people in our military. They tell us that they’ve been experiencing some sort of spacecraft that can run rings around our most sophisticated air force planes and can make aerial moves that seem to defy the laws of physics. What …

What Happened to Racial and Ethnic Humor?
By BOB WEIR
FLOWER MOUND, TX — June 1, 2021 — Remember when we used to be able to make ethnic and racial jokes that were funny, while not being hurtful? There was a time when humor was a major source of social engagement between people who enjoyed laughing at themselves and the stereotypes attributed to them. In other words, they weren’t so …

Palestinians Die as Hostages of Hamas
By TAREK FATAH
TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA — May 23, 2021 — As hundreds die in Gaza once more, one cannot help feeling the pain of the Palestinians. They bury their dead children with no end in sight. Another ceasefire may come into effect soon, but will not end their multi-generational misery as a people without a state. The tragedy of the Palestinians is …

Why Isn’t Our Military Going After Drug Cartels?
By BOB WEIR
FLOWER MOUND, TX — May 23, 2021 — If you were to ask anyone at random, what is the most dangerous threat to our country, they’d very likely say China, Russia, or Iran, because those countries are, or soon will be, a military threat to our nation.

A Policeman’s Lot is Not a Happy One
By BOB WEIR
FLOWER MOUND, TX — May 10, 2021 — When I look at the news today and see the way police are being vilified by left wing America-haters like Antifa and Black Thugs Matter, I think back to the New York Police Academy where I trained for 4 months in the middle sixties to get prepared for facing the world as …

Why Doesn’t the GOP Go After the “Squad”?
By BOB WEIR
FLOWER MOUND, TX — May 3, 2021 — A serious problem in our country is the lack of commitment to the Constitution and the rejection of the moral values that made us the envy of the world.

Blacks Are Stronger Than Democrats Believe
By BOB WEIR
FLOWER MOUND, TX — April 25, 2021 — Does anyone think that blacks are weak, incapable folks in need of constant help from whites in order to survive? That’s not the image I have of Blacks. In fact, as far as I’m concerned, Blacks have proven themselves to be extremely strong and resilient. A weak race of people couldn’t have …

How Not to Get Killed When Stopped By a Cop
By BOB WEIR
FLOWER MOUND, TX — April 15, 2021 — I’d like to take a rational look at the confrontations between cops, motorists and pedestrians. When we see incidents of cops shooting blacks (which are the only shootings the media covers), one thing becomes clear; resisting arrest often ends up with a loss of life. Something else is obvious, when a cop …

Can Whites Avoid Being Racists?
By BOB WEIR
FLOWER MOUND, TX — April 5, 2021 — The purpose of this column is to illustrate that every white person is a racist, even if they don’t know it. At least that’s the theory being foisted on the American public by some of the most radical “thinkers” in the country. Not only are whites racist, but the law and legal …

Confessions Of A Privileged White Man
By BOB WEIR
FLOWER MOUND, TX — March 21, 2021 — Every time I hear the term “white privilege” I wonder how I missed out on all the extra opportunities that term implies. Growing up in a rat and roach infested tenement on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the 1950s didn’t seem to me as though I was being pampered because …
