Olympics USA Beats Communist China

The Summer Olympics officially ended yesterday, and I have great news for you — which, oddly, you may not have heard.

The great news is, the United States won!

And we did it in dramatic fashion — by edging out communist China. Not only that, our athletes, except for a few, showed pride in and love for our country.

Throughout the Olympics, the United States was winning in total medals won. But we were in second place to China in the number of gold medals won.

Going into the last day of the games, communist China had three more gold medals than we did with only a few events left.

But American athletes rose to the occasion and won four gold medals on the final day — giving us 39 gold medals to communist China’s 38.

The U.S. also easily triumphed in the total medal count — 113 total medals to China’s 88.

Many Americans may have bought into the idea that the Olympics are not about countries but only about individual athletes. Well, certainly the athletes are central. But make no mistake about it — the Olympics are a peaceful competition among nations.

Virtually every nation in the world understands that. If communist China had prevailed the national celebration there would have been unrestrained. But our elites keep telling us it’s inappropriate to display our national pride during the Olympics. Thus, the media, for the most part, downplayed our victory. 

In 1936, American sprinter Jesse Owens, a black man, competed in Hitler’s Berlin and defeated the Nazi “Aryan” athletes. His victory was important.

At the height of the Cold War in 1980, the U.S. hockey team made up of amateurs went out onto the ice and defeated the mighty Red Army team of the Soviet Union. Our country erupted in a spasm of patriotism. The reaction was a forerunner of the patriotic wave that would lead to Ronald Reagan’s victory in November.

Today we face a genocidal communist China that believes they represent the future, and we represent the past. They intend to be the world’s number one power. It matters that we just beat them. Take a moment and celebrate.
