CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 25, 2026
IN 1968, A MAN NAMED JOE SOUTH WON A GRAMMY FOR A PROTEST SONG HE HAD WRITEN CALLED “THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY.” THE LYRIC THEN RELATED TO THE VIETNAM WAR AND OTHER THINGS GOING ON IN THE COUNTRY AT THAT TIME, BUT THE LYRIC IS A COMMENTARY ON THE POLITICAL DIVISIONS OF TODAY.
SOUTH WROTE: “THE GAMES PEOPLE PLAY. EVERY NIGHT AND EVERYDAY. NEVER SAYING WHAT THEY MEAN. NEVER MEANING WHAT THEY SAY. WHILE THEY WHILE AWAY THE HOURS IN THEIR IVORY TOWERS. ‘TIL THEY’RE COVERED UP WITH FLOWERS IN THE BACK OF A BLACK LIMOUSINE.”
THAT SONG COULD BE ALLIED TO EVENTS IN 2026, STARTING WITH DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS WHO ARE USING TSA AGENTS AS PAWNS TO ACHIEVE THEIR POLITICAL GOALS. MANY AGENTS ARE QUITTING OR CALLING IN SICK BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BEING PAID. LINES AT SOME MAJOR AIRPORTS ARE SO LONG IT CAN TAKE UP TO FOUR HOURS TO GET THROUGH SECURITY. DEMOCRATS DON’T CARE. THEY ARE GETTING PAID AND RUSHED THROUGH SECURITY WHEN THEY FLY.
IN THE END IT’S THE FAULT OF VOTERS WHO ELECT THESE ROAD BLOCKERS. THOSE WHO VOTE FOR THEM HAVE ONLY THEMSELVES TO BLAME. REMEMBER THAT IN NOVEMBER. I’M CAL THOMAS.
