Hawaiian

Best advice yet. My girl's brother-in-law used her as a go between when he wanted to meet her older sister. Seems like a common and sensible Thai solution.

In one of my conversations with a university professor I happened to mention how Thailand's defamation law works. She had no idea. If people are not aware then there is no pressure to change this law.

Laws don't apply when they do not align with their liberal agenda.

No problem. By the way, I was born in Hawaii and so was my mother. Her parents immigrated to Hawaii in the early 1900s.

For the record, I am of Chinese, Ukrainian and German descent. Although there are Native Hawaiians in my family, I am not. It was mostly American sugar planters behind the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy. Among their supporters were some Native Hawaiians and a bunch of Portuguese (this not well known) immigrants. The U.S. has said their military was there only to protect American citizens, but recently discovered documentation discloses otherwise. The Republic of Hawaii was established after the fall of the monarchy followed by annexation with Hawaii becoming a U.S. Territory. Hawaii overwhelmingly voted for statehood and 1959 Hawaii became the 50th state.

So who is enabling these kids? https://www.foxnews.com/video/6365155926112

Sensational, maybe; foolish nonsense, definitely. There is always strength in numbers even though some may not always agree with the majority. Why do you think we have never been occupied by a foreign power?

Amen to that.

Everyone knows he is a man of contradictions. There are still people who are not afraid of him and will stop some of his nonsense. He needs to be reminded on a daily basis that he wasn't given a mandate to do as he pleases.

I believe the U.S. should take a multi-prong approach. Dealing with users, distributors (including the gangs you mention) and international interdiction. It is reported precursors come in from China with the finished product made in Mexico. Shipments of cocaine and marijuana from South America (mainly Columbia) are regularly being intercepted. All of this needs to be addressed.

Sorry about the link. It was a warning from the DEA about colorful fentanyl laced pills for sale. One of my friends told me they were being sold, some for free, to kids in his neighborhood. Local police confirmed this. Fentanyl is nothing to mess with. Just handling the drug can cause severe reactions. This is not fearmongering, believe me. Both of my tenants are rehab counselors and say fentanyl is some bad stuff.

Young is not always better.

Evidently, you are not aware of Tulsi's past history before she enlisted in Hawaii Army National Guard and was elected to political office.

While mature adults should know better, what about kids? https://www.dea.gov/press-release/2022/08/30/dea-warns-brightly-colored-fentanyl-used-target-young-americans And it is not just fentanyl laced pills, but candy and other edible items. The cartels are heartless demons that target anyone, Mexicans and Americans alike.

Whose resume are you talking about? If Donald Trump accomplishes very little, then why worry about his deportation plan? And if what you say is true don't waste your time posting all those numbers since it ain't going to happen.

You mean like her predecessor, AMLO?

If it is not illegal drugs it will be something else like extortion. When prohibition in the U.S. ended the mobs moved on to gambling.

You act like you are an expert of U.S. criminal law. Is that why you posted word for word from the same online source I read?

It is not my job to address the problem of taking care of the 4 million + (your figures) children you keep mentioning about. This is why Trump has appointed Tom Homan as border czar. As former temporary acting head of ICE he is well aware of the complexities of the job. Since you are so worried I suggest you contact him with your concerns.

Forty years ago I had a young Mexican worker from Michoacan who explained to me about corruption in Mexico from the Catholic Church to all levels of government. The situation has gotten much worse with cartels running the country. His home province is now controlled by the Sinaloa Cartel. Now they are selling something more deadly than snake oil.

If you say so.

Hopefully, she is not. Have to wait and see.

Finally a Mexican leader who is willing to work with the U.S. on major issues like trade, illegal drugs and illegal immigration. Hopefully, the cartels don't stop her.

Let's see how she handles the cartels who have been terrorizing the country.

Right. Arrest is the first stage in criminal proceedings.
