A the gold medal ceremony, she was proudly standing with her hand over her heart and the screen also showed her parents who also proudly stood with their hands over their hearts...

The One World Olympics has overused its welcome. Good Riddance.

‘Events like this are what I like to see in the Olympics, not the self centered woke crap. She rose to the occasion and made the country and her town proud.

Do you know of any members of the US Olympics swim team who disrespect the flag?

“After the race, a caravan of vehicles — including a group shouting “USA” repeatedly from the bed of a pickup truck — moved down Fourth Avenue as a lone runner ahead, clad in flag boxers and socks with “LYDIA” scrawled across his chest, waved an American flag. People cheered and took video along the street.”
