Kelly is very impressive, obviously not a "yes" man and seems a good choice to head DHS.

You sent a sharp pain into my soul ... of course we care about the facts. Keep bringing them up ... don't abandon ship like some of the people have.

Very good youtube news conference from PBS no less ... not just John Kelly either his staff seems serious about doing their job. These are changing times. Trump said during the election that the ban would be until congress came up with a solution.

TSA needs something, uh? They hardly ever get any good press from checking baby diapers and selective nice looking women to letting guns get by them.

My 70 year old father was detained by the TSA because he had 2 Bic lighters in his pockets. He was getting ready to head to Europe on vacation. My father used a cane and look about as much as a terrorist as Kermit the Frog.

Like someone else said she looked as much of a terrorist as Kermit the frog,, you want to make comments about supposed wrong doings, of Trump, you better fact check what the past administration has done .. What do you have against secure borders and the rule of law..???/

So no actual explanation as to why you thought it relevant to describe the woman as white? No surprise there...

Because she was ,, just like you said it was a 5 year old child to make your point,, and now that I've told you probably still won't get it ,, just like I told you that story and you didn't get it because you are rapped up in your ideology and your hate for Trump,, white , black ,, purple she was harmless that's the point maybe it would hit home if it was your mother or grand mother,, so,,why are you so hung up on race ???

So still no answer, just your usual illiterate blather. And no it isn't me that is 'hung upon race'. It is you, because it was you that raised the subject, and then refused to explain why you thought it relevant.

I wonder how many are using their common sense or brain when they discuss Trump and US politics and how many is letting their feeling controlling their writing or speaking of the same ?

If you are going to quote me use the whole statement so it isn't taken out of context one would think you work for CNN,, why are you so upset that I said she was white,, can't handle the truth that there was wrong doing on your side of the issue that you had to use the race card to deflect the issue to race.. there was also some more wrong doing that involved a WHITE MAN in Oregon, and your precious Obama administration, embrace the dismantling of your fascist police state and you wonder why Trump won,, what part of she was white don't you get.

Still no explanation. At this point I think we can draw our own conclusions as to why Yubba thinks that someone being white makes them being improperly targeted by the TSA more significant.

I think you are making too big a deal about this. Why?

Sorry, I'm late, I was detained going through immigration. They probably knew more about my background than I'd hoped.
