Land of Fire and Ice, very nice.  If you like seeing waterfalls, hot springs, beautiful natural landscape (mountains cliffs,) this is the place to go.  Surprising 25% of tourists are of Asian descent and a large population of Thais live there so you will feel right at home eating food you're used to.  Don't do tours.  Drive...the road is very safe and traffic isn't bad and roads are paved most of the tourist destination.  Many tourist sites are free pay for parking only.  Food are expansive so are hotels.  Summer months are June-August and September onward will start to get colder.  Northern lights is best starting October.

Pictures don't lie.  MAGA supporters hasn't acknowledge there's starvation because their guy hasn't acknowledge.  They're waiting for him to say the sky is blue before they can accept the sky is blue.  They can't trust their own eyes or intellect.  Their guy has to say it before it's true.  Now, they think only FOX news is real source and the rest are not.  Well, FOX hasn't said it either.

I don't know the history of the region so can't agree or disagree on the two states thing but GAZA is starving and Israel need to stop gun firing/threaten/preventing so food can reach GAZA vs. sitting nearby.

Bilingual is a plus. Most mekas folks can't speak more than one language and now they're trying to suppress you from being bilingual and you're OK w/ that?  You guys know bilingual is a plus right?

It's only been 50 years and some hmong folks already forgot the blood payment made by our Hmong veterans so all of us can exist here in the USA and choose to remember the blood payment made centuries ago...

100 years from now, many will ask, "What is Hmong? Who is Hmong? What is that?"

Sad history in the making.  WE need more Hmong histories, language, culture classes.  I'm worried.  We got so many lost hmong people around w/ Mekas values/ideals and forgot what it means to be Hmong.

In schools, hospitals, and everywhere.  So more bilingual and that means no more translation at hospitals, latest from Trump administration .

If you look at the data, White American are the largest group receiving benefits across various programs so Hmong are just taking crumbs.

The video focuses on deportation and I'm saying Hmong and the Afghans should never be deported because they paid w/blood to be in the US today.  No hmong should be deported except those txiv mos ab, niam mos ab, and those Hmong that overstay their tourist visas... without legal residency.

Everything Hmong: 1st wife should not put up w/this crap of 2nd wives.  Easier said than done right? Every women are different and sometimes we don't know why they put up w/ such crap. My guess, these 1st wives become dependent on the husband so they can't leave and keep the face thing in the hmong culture.  How do we break from this cycle? Encourage girls to get an education, go to college...that's a good start.  When a woman is financially independent, she's able to make better choice for herself and her children, self empowerment. Which leads to loving oneself, and when you love yourself, you take better care of yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually, etc...

This is not right.  Our Hmong people were in the same situation and now some even got deported too.  They & their children should never get deported because being here in the US is bought and paid for w/ blood.  Simple.

Cuts in medicaid, SNAP to fund his ICE campaign and people say we're saving money.  No, he's just allocating money from one area to another.

Let me guess... you voted for Hyena and Tampon-Tim, huh?

Trump's doing what he campaigned on... deport illegals, raise tariff to even the playing field, gut gov't wastes, no tax on tips or overtime, etc etc

I don't recall an animal and a tampon running for office? Let's not stoop that low.

Raised tariffs, you know we're paying for that right?  A bottle of my favorite fish sauce is now $10 where it used to be $7. 

Gut gov't waste? no,  he just allocated/cut from one to give to another, HIS ICE operations.  Annual ice budget was $9 billion and will receive an additional $79 billion through 2029 and $45 billion for expanding detention center. AND the annual budget will triple to 27 billion. That money didn't come from thin air but from those so called gut gov't waste. 

Deport illegals- I'll give him some credits for toughen up but his Posse just corner people, round them up like cattle and shipped they off to who knows where...
