People on no-fly lists shouldn't be able to buy guns? What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

Those same no-fly lists that it took 7 years and multiple Federal lawsuits to correct when they were added due to a clerical error?

Yeah, the same no-fly lists that TSA will put you on for doing investigative journalism critical of TSA. It happened once that we know of to a CNN reporter. The country is in the very best of hands.

Clerical error can be written off as clerical error. Adding someone to the list because he's critical of you should be a felony.

The same no fly list that has umpty dozens of TSA agents on it and kept Tidal Teddy Kennedy off a plane years ago. The same no fly list that the Boston bombers, the Fort Hood shooter, the Chattanooga shooter, the Boston bombers, and the San Bernadino "workplace violence" couple were NOT on.

I didn't get a chance to watch, 'cause I was busy with a couple of other guys cleaning up the minor flooding in our rig quarters, including my bunk room, that a knucklehead caused by turning over a full mop bucket. :roll:

Can someone post brief major highlights, please.

Probably the best analysis I've read this morning. LINKY!!

It was an empty speech by an empty suit. The president had many opportunities here and missed them all. He basically lectured us with disappointment in his voice and let us know that we had personally let him down. The speech was laughable on several points (which I'm sure that they're doing in Raqqa), but he spent more time assuring us of the peaceful intent of the local Muslims than he did describing his strategy for winning.

That's because the peaceful intent of the local muslims has more actual content than his strategy for winning. Anything is more than zero, right???

I started to read the speech, worried about the 2nd Amendment.

I finished the speech worried about the 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments.
