Minnesota native Sunisa Lee, also known as Suni, is an 18-year-old high school graduate, but she is no stranger to facing immense pressure. And while she's risen to the tops of world gymnastics, she's still grounded in her home Hmong community.
Lee won gold in Thursday's individual all-around competition, sending her supporters back home into a frenzy of joy. In an already history-making Olympics, Lee is the first Hmong American to make the U.S. Olympic team.
A large crowd of Lee's family and fans watched in nervous silence as she awaited her final score on the floor exercise that secured her win Thursday.
Lee tweeted a video from that scene after her win, writing, "the people i do it all for I LOVE YOU ALL."

I'm proud of what the Hmong contribution has been to my state of Wisconsin.

It "elates" the entire twin cities. Great performance and inspiring young woman. She should see some success in domestic (NCAA) and international gymnastics going forward.

JFK Assassination Cover-up

And
The real Watergate story, Nixon, and the North American mafia
I got started on this paper after hearing Lamar Waldron describe his new book, Watergate: The Hidden History Nixon, the mafia and the CIA. Based on my years of research, I decided to shorten his shocking book down to 24 pages. His is some 800 pages long. I have not read his book, but do I need to?
