CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 25, 2026
JACK HUGHES IS THE LATEST AMERICAN HERO. IN THE OLYMPICS, HUGHES SCORED THE WINNING GOAL IN OVERTIME, LEADING THE U.S. MEN’S HOCKEY TEAM TO A 2-1 VICTORY OVER CANADA. THE WOMEN’S HOCKEY TEAM ALSO WON OLYMPIC GOLD WITH A SIMILAR 2-1 VICTORY OVER CANADA.
IN A POST GAME INTERVIEW, HUGHES OPENLY DECLARED HIS LOVE FOR AMERICA. HE SAID HE WAS PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN. YOU DON’T HEAR THAT VERY OFTEN. THOSE DEMONSTRATORS IN THE STREETS AND ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES NEVER HAVE ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY ABOUT THE COUNTRY.
THE TEAM RECEIVED A CONGRATULATORY CALL FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHICH SPARKED CRITICISM FROM THE LEFT. NEVER MIND THAT OTHER PRESIDENTS OF BOTH PARTIES HAVE MADE SIMILAR CALLS WHEN AN AMERICAN TEAM HAS WON A MAJOR VICTORY. THE TRUMP AND AMERICA HATE MACHINE ALWAYS ATTACKS THE COUNTRY AND ANYONE WHO SPEAKS UP FOR IT. TO THEM, AMERICA CAN DO NOTHING RIGHT AND HAS BEEN WRONG SINCE COLUMBUS CAME HERE AND ALLEGEDLY REPLACED INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.
OTHER COUNTRIES ENJOY CRITICIZING THE U.S., BUT NOTICE THEY TAKE OUR FOREIGN AID AND MILITARY ASSISTANCE.
GOOD FOR JACK HUGHES AND THE MEN’S AND WOMEN’S HOCKEY TEAMS FOR THEIR VICTORY AND THE LOVE AND PARIOTISM THEY DISPLAYED FOR AMERICA. THEY AND THE REST OF US SHOULD IGNORE THE CRITICS WHO HAVE ACHIEVED NOTHING. I’M CAL THOMAS.
