After an incredibly eventful week of Olympic victories for Team USA, one leftist outlet got what it had coming when it said that feeling patriotic was "yucky."
While hundreds of accounts roasted the author and the article, one three-word reply from a restaurant stole the spotlight and left the HuffPost the clear loser in the exchange.
'This is the only acceptable response to HuffPost.'
HuffPost's original post on Saturday, captioned, "If waving the American flag or chanting 'USA' turns you off right now, you're not alone," received a simple comment from Jimmy's Famous Seafood.
"Go f**k yourself," the family-owned restaurant's account said Sunday.

Many major accounts announced that Jimmy's Famous Seafood had earned a follow in the wake of the viral reply.
"This is the only acceptable response to HuffPost," Nick Sortor said.
"Okay do you have locations in Florida patriot?" BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre asked.
"Only one location — family owned and operated. We ship to all 50 states however!" the account replied.
Jimmy's Famous Seafood is based in Baltimore, Maryland, where it has been operating since 1974.
At the time of writing, Jimmy's Famous Seafood had just under 360,000 followers on X. Its reply received over 13 million views, compared to 10 million views of HuffPost's original article.

Shortly after Team USA's historic Olympic gold-medal victory in men's hockey on Sunday, the team had a special guest join them in the locker room — and an even more special guest phone in his congratulations.
Following USA's first gold-medal victory since 1980, the hockey team was joined by noted hockey fan FBI Director Kash Patel, who enthusiastically joined in the celebration.
'We're giving the State of the Union speech on Tuesday night. I can send a military plane.'
After pounding a beer and banging his fist on a table in the locker room, Patel called President Donald Trump, who spoke with the team for a few minutes and offered them the opportunity of a lifetime.
On the call, President Trump joked that the goalie "played not bad."
"How you doing, Don?" said goalie Connor Hellebuyck in reply.

Then came Trump's offer: "We're giving the State of the Union speech on Tuesday night. I can send a military plane. ... If you would like to, it's the coolest night."
The whole hockey team said they were in to attend.
Trump continued: "The nice thing about being president is, I can tell you, you don't have to worry about the weather or landing. We don't care if it's snowing or if it's the worst blizzard."
Trump then joked, "I must tell you, we're going to have to bring the women's team, you do know that," adding that he "probably would be impeached" if he neglected to invite the U.S. women's team since they also won the gold medal.
The president then offered the men's team his congratulations once more, saying: "You're going to be proud of that game for 50 years. ... I'm going to shake hands with everybody, but I got to shake hands with that goalie."
Patel received some criticism for joining the team in the locker room, but he defended his actions in a response on social media that has since gone viral: "For the very concerned media — yes, I love America and was extremely humbled when my friends, the newly minted Gold Medal winners on Team USA, invited me into the locker room to celebrate this historic moment with the boys — Greatest country on earth and greatest sport on earth."
President Trump also took to Truth Social to congratulate the team: "Congratulations to our great U.S.A. Ice Hockey team. THEY WON THE GOLD. WOW!"

In less than two weeks, two deadly shootings — both allegedly by transgender-identifying biological males. One was a school rampage in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, that killed eight people, and the other a targeted family attack during a youth hockey game in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, where two of the alleged shooter’s family members were left dead.
BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere wonders if we’re dealing with a “trans shooter epidemic.”
“We’ve done this story ... over and over and over and over and over and over and over again,” he says.
It’s usually one of two scenarios, he says: “You have some person who's a crazy sort of leftist that winds up getting into the trans ideology world” and becomes “very defensive of it to a violent extent, like we saw with the Charlie Kirk situation," or “you have a situation where the person is just a crazy leftist and starts going out and killing people because of their mass confusion in their life.”
But what’s the root cause of this kind of violence?
On this episode of “Stu Does America,” Stu dives into a study that might provide some insight into that question.
“Obviously, all [transgender-identifying] people are not murdering others. We do, though, see a disproportionate amount of people who are involved in this ideology … that are involved in violent acts,” he says, citing trans-identifying biological female Audrey Hale, who killed six children and three adults at an elementary school in Nashville in March 2023, and Tyler Robinson, the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk, who was romantically involved with a transgender-identifying male.
Stu wonders why of all the “fancy letters” in the LGBTQIA2+ alphabet, it is transgender-identifying individuals who seem more prone to violence.
The answer may lie, at least partially, in how different sexual identities answer the question: “Is disagreement violence?”
Stu cites a study from PsychFORM, which examined how transgender-identifying respondents answered that question compared to gay-identifying respondents.
“About 15% to 18% of gay people say, ‘Yeah, you know, any disagreement, I see as violence.’ ... The number for trans people is 100%. 100% of trans people in this poll said that disagreement equals violence,” Stu exclaims.
The study also tested another question: “Is reasoned disagreement permissible?”
According to the chart, roughly 18% of gay-identifying respondents answered no, compared to over 90% of trans-identifying respondents.
“If you're looking for an explanation to understand what's going on in that realm when it comes to violence and trans people, look no farther than that chart,” says Stu.

Growing infighting among prominent Democrats signals deeper instability within the party — and BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere has the receipts to back it up.
“It seems like there is a little bit of trouble in paradise these days over on the Democratic side. You’ve seen some of these divides before,” Stu says, reading a Fox News headline: “John Fetterman slams anti-Israel ‘rot’ in Democratic Party, rejects AOC’s claims of Gaza ‘genocide.’”
Another recent headline from The Hill reads, “House Democrat: Mamdani’s proposed wealth taxes ‘not going to work.’”
“That is [Rep. Jared] Moskowitz. He’s fighting with Mamdani because Mamdani wants a wealth tax and Moskowitz says that’s not going to work. By the way, one reason it’s not going to work as a federal situation is because it’s completely unconstitutional,” Stu comments.
“Now, of course, Mamdani does not care whatsoever about those sorts of things,” he adds.
Even Bernie Sanders and Gavin Newsom have now become “adversaries” over the push to tax California billionaires.
“Of course, you know, Bernie Sanders, number one, is a socialist. Number two, doesn’t have to worry about actually funding the state and, you know, building new magical railroads across it. So he doesn’t care about whether all the billionaires leave or not. He’s going to get their money either way, right?” Stu explains.
“There’s a big divide inside that party. Now, that’s not to say, I will point out, that there’s none of this going on on the right. It is existing on the right as well. But on the left it’s really interesting,” he says, pointing out that when one party holds more power, the other party tends to put aside internal differences and unite.
“You saw some of that, I think, during 2024, where people looked at the Biden situation and were like, ‘Gosh, we don’t want any more of this.’ They united around Trump even though there was a lot of people who liked him and a lot of people who didn’t like him on the Republican side,” Stu says.
But the Democrats are not showing the same strength, and a new AP-NORC poll only solidifies Stu’s point.
The poll reflects that “many Democrats are still down on their party after 2024."
“You see, there was some uniting going on — a little bit, maybe, you could argue — in the early days of the Trump administration, where approval of the Democratic Party among Democrats rose north of 83%. Now it’s dropped to 70%. Interesting. Not a massive drop-off, but significant,” Stu says.
And positive views of the Democratic Party are down among Democrats, from 92% at the turn of the century to 80% today.
“We’ve never seen one as low as it is now, though,” Stu comments.
“That’s not good. That’s bad,” he adds.
