Air Force Wrestler 'Captain America' Salutes Trump After Upset Victory

Matt Margolis MARCH 23, 2025

The liberal media can whine all they want about "controversial appearances," butPresident Trump's presence at the NCAA wrestling championships in Philadelphia this weekend led to one of the most electric moments in college sports history. And boy, did they get a show they'll never forget.

Second Lieutenant Wyatt Hendrickson, aptly nicknamed "Captain America," pulled off what's being called the biggest upset in NCAA wrestling history, defeating Minnesota's heavily favored Gable Steveson in a match that had every American patriot on their feet. Steveson, a two-time national champion and Olympic gold medalist, was supposed to be unbeatable.

“To say Steveson was the favorite entering the 285-pound national title bout would be a gross understatement,” explained Outkick. “Not only was Steveson riding a 70-match winning streak, but he was also seeking his third national title having earned wins in 2021 and 2022. He took a year off from collegiate wrestling in 2023 to pursue the NFL and a WWE career before coming back for the 2024 campaign.”

With just 25 seconds left and trailing 3-2, Hendrickson executed a perfectly timed three-point takedown that sent the crowd into an absolute frenzy. But what happened next is what really has the left squirming.

The Oklahoma State wrestler, still catching his breath from his historic victory, immediately found Trump in the crowd and delivered a crisp military salute to his commander-in-chief. Trump, showing the class and respect for our military that we've come to expect, responded with an emphatic fist pump and nod of acknowledgment.

"He came here to support his troops. I put on a show for him, and I wanted that national title," Hendrickson declared after the match. The crowd's thunderous "USA! USA!" chants drowned out the evening, as Hendrickson, draped in the American flag, embraced both Trump and Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.)

"Commander in chief right there, baby! I was really excited to have him here," the champion beamed in his post-match interview, showing none of the rehearsed, politically correct responses we're used to seeing from athletes these days.

This wasn't just any victory. This was Hendrickson's final collegiate match in his fifth year of eligibility, and he made it count. But unlike so many athletes who chase fame and fortune, this 24-year-old patriot has bigger plans. He's looking to compete in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, where he'll compete as "Captain America" before fulfilling his five-year mandatory Air Force commitment.

While the mainstream media will undoubtedly try to downplay this moment or twist it into another anti-Trump narrative, what we witnessed in Philadelphia was pure, unscripted Americana. A military officer, representing the best of our armed forces, achieving the impossible while honoring his commander-in-chief and his country.

This is the America the left desperately wants you to believe doesn't exist anymore.But as Hendrickson proved last night, the spirit of patriotism and excellence is alive and well in the heart of real Americans.

Bar That Threw Out MAGA Customer Proves Again That Leftists Are the Most Intolerant People on Earth

Robert Spencer

On March 16, I wrote here about Chatterbox Jazz, a club in Indianapolis wherea bartender of the he/she/it variety petulantly grabbed a baseball bat and threatened a MAGA hat-wearing customer to get out of the bar, or else. The place was inundated both with patriots noting the “tolerant” left’s hypocrisy and intolerance, and with leftists cheering on the boneless bartender’s courageous stand against MAGA “fascism.”

Now, the club itself has issued a statement about the incident, but it’s not what it should have been: an apology and an affirmation that the club welcomes anyone.Instead, Chatterbox doubled down, and also seems to be stretching the truth a good deal beyond the breaking point. “On Friday, March 14th,” it says, “a group of individuals” — yeah, Chatterbox, that’s what the word “group” means, you didn’t have to add “of individuals” at all — “visited Chatterbox and intentionally misgendered and harassed a Chatterbox employee, resulting in them being asked to leave by our staff. They then continued verbally assaulting our patrons and staff, threatened our establishment, and returned to record a video which has now been posted on multiple social media platforms.”

Is that so? It could be, as the video of the incident begins after there has clearly already been friction between the bartender and the woman who is videoing.However, in the video, the bartender tells the woman wearing the MAGA hat to get out of the bar, and after she repeatedly asks him why, he finally says: “Because you’re a Trump supporter.” Later, she asks again why she is being thrown out: “Because I’m wearing a Trump hat.” The bartender immediately replies with enthusiasm: “Yes!” The woman says: “That’s wild!,” to which the bartender replies: “I don’t care. Get out.”

You’ll notice that even though he/she/xe had several opportunities to do so, the bartender doesn’t give the slightest hint of any intentional “misgendering” or harassment. Instead, he affirms twice that he is throwing the woman out, and threatening her with a baseball bat despite looking as if he had never touched one before in his entire miserable existence, solely because she is wearing a MAGA hat, not, as Chatterbox now claims, because she and her friends had been causing trouble in the bar before the video started.

The Chatterbox statement then dives into the deep end of leftist hypocrisy: “The Chatterbox is home to a diverse group of staff and patrons. We do not tolerate dehumanizing or disrespectful language or symbolism in our establishment. We have a right, by law, to refuse service to anyone who disrupts our business. We look forward to continue being a home for people who love music and appreciate our community.”

This disingenuous and self-righteous statement is yet another example of the fact that the people who shout most loudly about “diversity” are those who are invariably the least tolerant of a genuine diversity of opinions. The left wants people of all races, colors, and sexual deviances to come together and say exactly the same thing about every issue.

That, in leftists’ eyes, is what “diversity” really means: a multitude of people who all look different from one another, some with blue hair, some with green hair, some with nose rings, some with those big ugly things pulling down their ear lobes, all marching in lockstep together down the road to socialist internationalism. They don’t see their hypocrisy in denying service to someone with a MAGA hat, because they are as convinced of their rightness and righteousness as any Medieval Inquisitor ever was. A man can burn heretics in good conscience once he is absolutely sure that the one true God will reward him for doing so, and not inform the burner, to his shock and horror, that he was actually the heretic and the guy he was torching was right.

Secular leftists today sneer at traditional religion, but their fervor, fanaticism and unflinching assurance that they are on the side of the angels, or on the side of history, as they themselves would style it, allows them to commit the worst atrocities upon their enemies. Throwing someone out of a bar is the least of it. Followed to its logical conclusion, the leftist certainty leads straight to the gulag.

That’s likely where fully indoctrinated leftists such as the bartender, and apparently the owner, of Chatterbox Jazz would happily put Trump supporters if given half a chance. And so they must not be given that chance.

The New York Times Makes a Stunning Admission About the Democrats

Matt Margolis

Liberals are in full-blown panic mode over President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Democrats in Congress are hysterically crying “constitutional crisis,” while unhinged activists are lashing out at Tesla vehicles and showrooms—all because Elon Musk dares to support cutting government waste.

Conservatives have long suspected there’s a deeper reason why the left goes berserk over efforts to rein in reckless spending. Now, the New York Times has accidentally said the quiet part out loud—the left’s political machine is fueled by your tax dollars.

In a stunning admission, the Times wrote:

Executive actions intended to cripple top Democratic law firms. Investigations of Democratic fund-raising and organizing platforms.Ominous suggestions that nonprofits aligned with Democrats or critical of President Trump should have their tax exemptions revoked.

Mr. Trump and his allies are aggressively attacking the players and machinery that power the left, taking a series of highly partisan official actions that, if successful, will threaten to hobble Democrats’ ability to compete in elections for years to come.

So far, the attacks have been diffuse and sometimes indiscriminate or inaccurate. But inside the administration, there are moves to coordinate and expand the assault.

A small group of White House officials has been working to identify targets and vulnerabilities inside the Democratic ecosystem, taking stock of previous efforts to investigate them, according to two people familiar with the group’s work who requested anonymity to describe it.

This wasn’t even buried; it was right up in the opening paragraphs of the article. The Times is practically screaming that Trump's efficiency initiatives might expose how Democrats have been feeding at the taxpayer trough for decades.

The article reads like a confession, validating what conservatives have been saying for years about systemic abuse of public funds.Democrats aren't just worried about losing some funding—they're terrified of voters discovering just how deep this taxpayer-funded scheme goes. Maybe the writers of the article thought they were making Trump and DOGE look evil and vindictive against the left. The problem is that they couldn’t do that without confirming something that Democrats really didn’t want us to know.

And get this: the narrative the New York Times pushes is that Trump could (or should) be impeached for trying to root out waste and fraud.

It is not unusual for partisans in Congress or their outside allies to push for investigations into political groups on the other side of the aisle.

But using the levers of government to target the opposition has long been considered an abuse of power, sometimes leading to prosecution. Mr. Trump himself was impeached in 2019 for pressuring the Ukrainian government to investigate the Bidens.

This is really what it’s come to. The entire left-wing machine, from local grassroots activists at the bottom all the way to the left-wing law firms, nonprofits, and more at the top, is funded by your tax dollars,and the New York Times is saying in a not-so-subtle way that Trump is committing an impeachable offense for ending that gravy train.
