Few figures occupy as prominent a niche in U.S. lore as the American cowboy, that embodiment of rugged individualism celebrated in dime novels, vintage radio, TV and Hollywood blockbusters. But the New York lawmaker is also on track: The cowboy tradition evolved in a direct line from the singular innovations of Mexican vaqueros. “The American cowboy, our great national folk hero, is recognized around the world as a symbol of our country,” the late Jim Hoy, a renowned cowboy historian, told Texas Highways magazine. Mexican American equestrians hold the ride each year to commemorate the figure from California’s gold rush era. Charreadas remain a mainstay throughout Mexico and in Mexican American communities north of the border.

Both the USA Women’s and Men’s hockey teams beat Canada at their own national sport and won Olympic gold. Here is the thing about this weekend that the Huffington Post and other dorks in that same circle completely missed.

If Huffington Post and literally anyone else who agrees with their stupid article want to be miserable about our countrymen winning, that is a choice and they can certainly go be miserable somewhere else.

And the other thing that I would say about this is there’s another factor hovering over in the background here.

Countries Facing Lower TariffsFor some countries - notably China and Brazil - the new 15% baseline is substantially lower than the U.S. tariffs they had been dealing with.
