Team USA

A lot more Team USA would be good for America, and a lot more Olympic spirit would be good for the entire planet.

I wish every politician could have been at the Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy.

As Callista and I watched the U.S.-Canada men’s hockey final on Sunday, it was electrifying. The United States men’s team had not won the gold in hockey since the famous 1980 “Miracle on Ice” game against the Soviet Union – portrayed vividly in Kurt Russell’s 2004 film “Miracle.”

With the recent tension between President Donald J. Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, there was legitimate reason to be curious about what the tone of the match would be. Of course, days earlier, the US women’s hockey team had already won gold, also over Canada.
