This is such a great all-American story on top of the great all-American golds won by our Olympic hockey teams in Milan.
Between Karma handing out a few lessons of her own to whiny alphabet soup sex skaters who then come in 13th, pissy free stylers who don't come in at all, and greedy snow vixens who toss over the country of their birth to compete in the freeskiing events under the flag of a repressive, authoritarian Communist regime...
Oh, she sure did.

Defined what a CRAVEN, MONEY-GRUBBING SHAMELESS SELLOUT LOOKS LIKE.
...there were some really irritating moments.
And the press was doing everything it could to keep raining on the red, white, and blue parade.
But there were the stalwart heroes who wouldn't cave to the determined pursuers of progressive narrative and join their fellows in dissing the USA on foreign soil.
They were damn glad to be representing their country and proud of that flag on their uniform.
And when they won gold, they knew the words to that beautiful song.

The women's hockey team formed a glorious choir.
🚨BREAKING: After defeating Canada to win gold, the U.S. women’s hockey team wrapped themselves in American flags, and then stood arm in arm, and sang the national anthem, drawing praise from conservatives who say the moment sharply contrasts with other Team USA athletes who… pic.twitter.com/so2hBboU4c

And then the men on Sunday morning.
I still get snuffly. There were reportedly many more Canadians in that arena than Americans, and yet all you could hear were jubilant voices lifting the rafters with The Star-Spangled Banner.

I could tell by your comments when I posted the note about the gold medal in the headlines section that so many of you felt the same way I did.
Matt Boldy's first goal and Jack Hughes, missing teeth and dripping blood, reliving his game-winning shot in overtime.
The stellar, heroic game of the American goalie, Connor Hellebuyck.
And when they brought John Gaudreau's jersey, which they'd carried with them for the entire season, working up to the Olympics, and his family down to the ice with them for the team picture.
...Finally, there's this. Johnny Gaudreau, who would have worn number 13 for the United States on the Olympic men's roster, died alongside his brother, Matthew, when they were struck on their bicycles by a drunk driver in 2024. The brothers were in New Jersey to serve as groomsmen for their sister's wedding the following day, and the tragedy didn't just devastate the Gaudreau family, but his Olympic hockey family as well. When the team gathered at center ice for the team photo wearing their new golden hardware around their necks, Gaudreau's jersey joined them for the picture, along with two of Johnny's three children - three-year-old Noa and two-year-old Johnny, Jr.
Talk about AMERICA!!!
But there are always wet blankets in every crowd, and the Lefties couldn't wait to stomp all over a little feel-good exceptionalism session.
The spoilsport Canadians, 'Syrupeans' as they're being referred to now, started grousing immediately.
Ah, but the American progressive media is a rare, revolting breed. And the HuffPo found all the cheers and fistbumping 'Merica! bon homie quite enervating. Drained them completely.
Aren't you all, they asked, just the teensiest bit tired of it?
WE SURE ARE
In the middle of an epic ratio (where a Xweet gets more comments than reXweets) from thousands of proud Americans who weren't the least bit tired of winning, but awful God-danged tired of HuffPo, a family-owned seafood restaurant in Baltimore fearlessly popped into the comments with a curt three-word message for the elitist twits.
As you know, in this day and age, entering the fray against a major publication, or in fact any fray at all where progressives are gathering, is a risky thing to do for any business.
Jimmy's Famous Seafood didn't care.
Maybe it had something to do with living where The Star Spangled Banner was born.
I think it had more to do with being immigrants who loved everything this country had to offer, made the most of it, and have given back to their community in immeasurable ways since they started their business.
Happily, people ecstatic over the golds, the symbolism of the wins, and our fabulous, unabashed, proud-to-be-American athletes in Milan ate Jimmy's up.
A seafood restaurant in Baltimore has gone viral on social media for its response to an article by news outlet HuffPost on American patriotism.
HuffPost published an piece about how some Americans, including some of the U.S. Olympians competing in the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, are struggling to feel patriotic about their country, experiencing as the outlet wrote, a "whiplash between pride" for their country and "national shame for the federal government."
A heated exchange on X came after the U.S. men's hockey team beat Canada 2-1, secured a gold medal, in the games on Sunday.
...Commenting on the HuffPost article on X, Jimmy's Famous Seafood wrote: "Go f*** yourself." The restaurant's post received more than 6.3 million views on the platform.
The comment has also received more than 136,000 likes, while HuffPost's article has only gathered around 1,200 likes on the platform as of Monday morning.
The restaurant's comment prompted debate on the social media platform. Some voiced their support over its response, with one user calling it a "patriot," and another said that even though they were "allergic to shellfish," they followed the restaurant's account anyway.
A different user shared a screenshot of a plane ticket from Chicago to Baltimore, telling the restaurant in a post, "I'll see you in a week."
Other larger X accounts also announced they had started following Jimmy's Famous Seafood on the platform after its comment.
Business is going bonkers.
"It's just feels great to know we are back."

A family owned business started by Greek immigrants more than 50 years ago has taken the internet by storm. @JimmysSeafood, located near Baltimore, MD, gave a brutal response to a ridiculous article on why people feel “yucky”… pic.twitter.com/yKyKc7mhgV
...near Baltimore, MD, gave a brutal response to a ridiculous article on why people feel “yucky” cheering for the United States in the Winter Olympics.
Mike Cornblatt, Sales Director for Jimmy's, tells @BorderHawkNews the response has been overwhelming.
"We love just showing our patriotism."
Jimmy's is giving out crab cakes for life to the U.S. men's and women's hockey team, and has offered to cater the upcoming visit the teams have to the White House.
Orders are skyrocketing and people from over the country are calling to show appreciation for their love of the U.S.A.
Yes, that's right. If you played for those gold medal USA teams, you're set for crab cakes for the rest of your natural born days.
🇺🇸 For bringing home the gold and delivering an overwhelming sense of pride throughout America, we hereby grant FREE CRABCAKES FOR LIFE to all members of the 2026 USA Men’s & Women’s Olympic Ice Hockey Teams! This applies to both dine-in and shipping for all time. God Bless… pic.twitter.com/YY4eI2xa8j

The crabs at HuffPo and elsewhere are out of luck.
They're out of season.
